Do you hate pushing your vacuum around? If so, you might need a self-propelled vacuum cleaner, which is going to help you do the hard work. A self-propelled vacuum is going to allow you to vacuum even the thickest of carpets without straining so much.

The Hoover U6439-900 Self-Propelled WindTunnel is going to make vacuuming easier, but is it going to be worth the $200 price tag?

Hoover U6439-900 WindTunnel Vacuum Specifications:

• Type of Vacuum: Upright
• Power: 1440 Amps
• Filter: Allergen filtration with HEPA filter
• Cleaning Path: 15 inches wide
• Dust Collection: Easy empty dirt cup
• Attachments: On-board stretch hose, powered hand tool, upholstery tool, dusting brush, crevice tool and two extension wands
• Warranty: One year warranty

With a three star rating on Amazon.com, you might want to think twice about buying this machine, especially since the Hoover U6439-900 costs more than $200. What you will love about the Hoover Self-Propelled Ultra Upright Vacuum is the self propelled feature. This makes vacuuming easier.

That ends the list of the good things about the Self Propelled Ultra. There are a lot of reviewers on Amazon.com talk about how they absolutely need this feature, because the vacuum is so heavy.

Speaking of heavy, the Hoover WindTunnel is top heavy and is prone to tipping over. When it does tip over, it is going to scatter all of the on-board tools all over the floor, making you stop what you are doing and then take the time to pick them up and put them back in place.

The Hoover Self Propelled Vacuum Cleaner is going to make the claim that it can clean close to walls, and this is partially true. It will clean up well if you can get it close to the walls to clean.  However, the machine is really bulky and it is difficult to maneuver. Getting it under a table or chair is going to be nearly impossible.

Another thing that is going to bug you about this machine is that it is really loud. Taking the machine to the repair shop is not going to fix this, it’s just a noise that you are going to have to live with. To temporarily fix this noise, you are going to have to change the two belts on the vacuum, and the noise should stop for about 5 minutes.

If Hoover had a conscience, they would throw in ear-plugs ! 75 years, and Hoover still can’t make a quieter motor.

Finally, you are going to not like the fact that knobs are constantly falling off the machine. Made almost out of plastic, this vacuum is not all that durable.

Is The Self Propel Feature Enough?

For the price and the features of the Hoover U6439-900 Self-Propelled WindTunnel Ultra Upright Vacuum Cleaner, you are probably going to want to find another vacuum cleaner that does the job.
