don't buy this one!
I have had this for a little over a year and it started out fine. Was supposed to be a high quality model when I got it. Within 6 months of very moderate used the beater brushes stopped turning. The little motor that turns the brushes is dead and they were not always used since i would turn them off when doing the linoleum and hardwood floors. I would estimate they had maybe 10 actual operating hours on the motor. To get it repaired was going to cost over $100. It was a gift so I didn't have a store receipt so warranty is useless because they don't know when the 'year' started. It had not been manufactured for a year yet but that doesn't matter apparently. What a disappointment

Horrible piece of junk
We bought this unit based on initial reviews. OMG what a disappointment. Though it has reasonably good suction when the ductwork isn't clogged up, the following problems have made this device difficult and painful (literally) to use: (1) It is very heavy for an upright. Our occasional hired house cleaner refuses to carry it upstairs. (2) It is difficult to push on any surface, but especially carpet. (3) It is extremely noisy. We're talking SHREIK here. I wear earplugs when using it. (4) The clear plastic ductwork leading from the pickup area tends to clog and is very difficult to clear out. (5) The clips for winding up the cord are flimsey and quickly bent to where the cord slips off. (6) The filter is very expensive [tip for those who own this unit-- you really never need to replace it. Brush it gently to remove built up residue] We put up with this thing for 2 years, and now the brush-bar motor is burning up. Rather than buy the new $80 part, this vacuum is destined for the land fill.

Just about took an axe to this vacuum
I came to Amazon to find reviews of vacuums, after desperately trying to get the dirt recepticle out of this vacuum ONE MORE TIME. I've had Hoover bagless vacuums before. This one is horrible. It sucks only fair-to-midlin' on bare floors. It sucks only fair-to-midlin' on heavy rugs. It sucks big time in the general usability factor. It's way too heavy. Oh, I have to pray to the vacuum gods that the dirt recepticle will come out without benefit of power tools. And I have to empty said recepticle a lot, because the filters get plugged with pet hairs (just like the guy on the Dyson ads says) within a couple of minutes using vacuum.

Hoover U8149-900 WindTuneel bagless & bagged
Mine is a purple U8149 model. It is similar to the U8140. It came with a bonus set (a bagged package and an extra hose). I hope it is not as bad as the 8140. I bought this from Fry's. I don't like bagless so I use the bonus bag set all the time. It is ok to me. Pro 1. Powerful. There is a belt to tie the power cord of my laptop. The vaccuum took it out ! Make sure to use the lowest setting first. 2. I have 2 "very difficult to clean" carpets from IKEA. Before I bought this vacuum, I need to use tape to get the dirts off the carpet. With this vaccum, those carpets are like new now ! 3. I can use it with or without the bag. 4. It has the HEPA filter. Con: I used it 3 times and I think I need to change the rating to 3 stars. 1. I am not sure if the carpet in my apartment is cheap or the vaccuum is too powerful. No matter which carpet depth I set, it took a lot of fabric from the carpet. I need to clean it almost everytime after I use it (I am renting a 890 sq ft 2 bedroom apartment unit). If I do not clean it, it will blow out the dirts. 2. Sometimes, it is not very good in cleaning bare floor (not hardwood floor). I was surprised. Consumer Report said the Eureka is the best but I found it was too heavy (Wal-mart has it) so I bought the Hoover instead. Where is the perfect vacuum cleaner ??

Worst vacuum ever
I have had this vacuum for 3 years. The floor cleaning feature of it hadn't picked up any dust from day one, so I always kept in on the carpet feature, with the brush inside rolling. It was the only way it worked at all. And now I find the suction has been reduced to nearly nothing, and it started shutting off in the midst of being used, and turning back on after about 40 minutes of rest. Well, I can't give it that time. Never buying a Hoover vac again.

Don't buy this Hoover if you have pets!
I was very dissapointed in this vacuum. It was highly rated in consumer review magazines, but they obviously didn't use dog hair in the tests. The hair is sucked into the agitator brush connection pins. I need to take the machine apart and clean out the hair frequently. I didn't realize this at first, and burned up the agitator motor after only one year. Since then, I have found that to protect the motor I have to replace the brushes frequently. Hoover's customer service is horrible, and was unwilling to address the issue. They did mention that they have not changed the design, so new vacumms will probably have the same issues.

I love it
I bought one for myself and one for my mom. The powered hand tool is the best I've seen. It's not only powerful, the dirt does not collect in the hand tool itself - rather it goes directly into the main vac's plastic container. The price is much better than anywhere else for a Windtunnel. To sum up - love it love it. Deb

Hoover Wind tunnel
The suction is very good but it is pretty hard to push. You get a workout cleaning the house. I have noticed that dirt gets stuck on the way to the collection container and I have already had to take it apart to clean. It was a good price, I hope it holds out as long as my last vacuum cleaner.

Great Product
I am very impressed with the quality of this product, and more so of the handling of my order through Amazon.com. After using my old vacuum, I re-vacuumed the carpets and found out exactly what I had been leaving behind. Also, the product description was accurate and the price "unbeatable".

Hoover
Overall this vacuum does everything you want and more. The only drawback that I could find was that it was a little heavier than your average vacuum. Other than that, its a great product.
