12A, Hoover Wind Tunnel Supreme Vacuum, 15″ Cleaning Width, Embedded Dirt Finder, Edge Groomers, Allergen 6 Stage Filtration, EPI Performance Indicator, Wire Stretch Hose, Covered Up Front Tool Storage, 31′ Cord.Equipped with an embedded-dirt finder and Hoover’s most advanced suction technology, this 1440-watt upright vacuum cleans a broad, 15-inch path illuminated by a headlight and provides handy storage for three onboard tools. The tools–dusting brush, crevice tool, upholstery nozzle–fit neatly into a storage compartment on the front. They attach to either or both 16-inch wands and a stretch hose (no tangles!) for a long cleaning reach. The embedded-dirt finder shows a green light when vacuuming ordinary dirt accumulation. A red light shows when extra dirt is encountered and additional cleaning strokes are needed. The machine contains two washable filters, one protecting the motor and the other cleaning the air returning to a room. Other features include carpet-height adjustment, edge-groomers to clean along baseboards, and a soft bumper to protect furniture. The vacuum uses a disposable allergen-filtration bag (Hoover Type Y, included), assembles with two nuts and bolts (included), and carries a 1-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack

Great vaccum–It really sucks,
This is a great vaccum in terms of sucking power. It picks up dirt well and really perks up our tired old carpet.When I first got the vaccum, I treated the “dirt finder lights” feature as sheer gimmick. But I’ve come to like it. The hose on this unit is extremely flexible and extends to several feet. With the extension attachments, I can leave the vaccum on the bottom of the stairs and reach up to 5 or 6 steps up.
A couple of minor things I don’t like about this unit: You connect an attachment to the hose by pushing it on–no actual mechanism that snaps or clicks in place to keep the attachment on the hose. So very frequently I have to re-attach the attachment as it falls off during the vaccuming. Also, to use the hose, one plugs it out of the “seat” (vaccumed dust gets sucked up through the “seat” tube into the hose and then into the bag). But one has to push the “seat cover” tight so that dust does not get blown out of the “seat” itself during vaccuming. For all the allergy prevention measures Hoover put into this vaccum, somehow Hoover didn’t bother to find a better way to ensure that vaccumed dust gets into the bag.
These may be standard features with all Hoover uprights, and other people may not find them as inconvenient. All in all, though, this vaccum does suck, really well.

|I love this vacuum!!!,
I bought this vacuum because the other brand vacuum I had after just 1 year wouldn’t suck anymore. It has tremendous sucking power and will suck up anything and it won’t get clogged. It has the dirt warning light which is wonderful; half the time I think that the floor is clean but the vacuum always finds more dirt that I can’t see. I have recommended it to everyone and everyone that has bought one just loves it. It is a bit loud but all vacuums that work are. I would never buy any vacuum that isn’t made by Hoover. If you try this vacuum you will love it.
