Hoover S3639 WindTunnel Canister Vacuum Cleaner
Accompanied by a powered hand tool for stairs and upholstery and equipped with Hoover's powerful WindTunnel technology for thorough cleaning, this canister vacuum's motorized floor nozzle power-cleans carpets with a two-brush agitator that switches off for bare-floors. This is a full-size, 1440-watt vacuum, with a 15-inch cleaning path, edge groomers, easy-rolling wheels, a 6-foot swivel hose, and two chrome wands that extend 37-1/2 inches for the onboard tools: dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and hard-floor tool. Other features include a foot-pedal-activated rewind for the 25-foot cord, a full-bag indicator-light, and allergen-filtration disposable bags to reduce dust mites and pollen. A foot-pedal turns the vacuum on and off, and the 20-by-11-1/2-by-11-inch canister stands on end for compact storage. The vacuum comes with a 1-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Solid, dependable vac / Report June 27, 2006
If you like cannister vacuum cleaners w/ bags, I recommend the Hoover S3639. I have used similar cannisters over the last 15 years, and besides doing a good job, this one has the advantages of looking great, having an extra small power brush for steps, and a fantastic price thru Amazon. Also, it was delivered to my door w/o shipping costs!
It is easy to carry, has a good set of tools, and a powered brush w/ a light to vacuum rugs.
Once the dirt bag is full, you throw it away--less work than bagless vacs.


Hoover Wind Tunnel Vacuum / Report May 12, 2006
When Fed Ex delivered the vacuum nobody was home so they tossed it over an 8 foot fence onto a concrete sidewalk. The vacuum still worked perfectly. Great product from Hoover, brain dead service from the delivery company.


The BEST vacuum ever! / Report April 9, 2006
I absolutely love this vacuum! I never leave feedback on my purchases but I just had to for this one. What a great vacuum for the price! I hate spending money on something that I dislike doing but I actually enjoy vacuuming now. Every attachment is so useful, especially the little mini wind tunnel tool. I suggest purchasing the Type S bags online since they're pretty hard to find because they sell out quickly I guess (I tried Target, Sears, and WalMart). I also bought a pouch of scented pellets and poured them into the vacuum bag and now everytime I vacuum my house smells even cleaner! Just as a side note...I have four children (10mths-17 years old, a husband, and a big dog so this vacuum really earns its money!


What a sucker! / Report March 8, 2006
I really enjoy my new canister vacuum. I have mostly hardwood floors with a few area rugs and a runner up the stairs. I had been using a lame Shark vacuum, it was nothing compared to this. I really enjoy the hardwood floor attachments, they get under the furniture and in the corners with ease. I was finally able to suck up all the pine needles from our Christmas tree!
The motorized rug attachment hooks on with no problems, it practially goes by itself, really! There is a special stair attachment that is also very easey to use. IT's a bit loud, but Idon't know any real quiet vacuums. The price was reasonable, with Amazon I received a discount and free shipping.
I really love my new vacuum, I use it all the time (and I haven't had to change the bag yet)
