I have a Hoover Windtunnel. Less than a year old. Replaced the bag, checked the filters. Its not sucking strong, sometimes it spits out something.

It sounds like you have a total blockage, or very nearly total blockage. Try to remove your hoses, lay them out flat, and run a broom handle through hoses to knock out any trapped fur balls.
You are most likely to have blockages at "turns." Your first turn is from the vacuum head, so check immediately behind the brush for a collection of carpet, hair and the likes.
Also make sure your beater brush is working. You may have a broken belt.
Disconnect the hose from it’s holster on the upper right side of the unit, and try the suction by putting your hand over the hose end. If there’s plenty of vacuum there, then there’s either a plug somewhere near the nozzle or the belt is not working, not turning the brush. It pretty much has to be one of those things, if the motor sounds normal. If you can turn the brushroll without much resistance then it’s most likely the belt. The belts are about $1 – $3, depending on which shop you go to, or which dept. store you buy from. Take the four screws out of the brushroll cover on the bottom, take the agitator out, clean it off, pull the broken belt out of the area and install the new belt over the motor shaft. It’s buried way down in on the right side of the motor when you’re standing behind it. Once you have it over the motor shaft, you can make sure you have the agitator facing in the right direction, put it under the belt loop and then stretch it up and into the brackets on the nozzle front. Put the screws back into the cover for the agitator and you’re ready to go.
