Hoover claims they have a LIFETIME self-cleaning HEPA filter system in their WindTunnel 2 Extra Reach Bagless Upright vacuum. Here is the line from thier website… “Self-cleaning HEPA filter cleans itself every six seconds to maintain cleaning power. You never have to touch or replace the filter.” I beg to differ. This is the 3rd cleaning I’ve had to do manually in less than a year. UPDATE: 3 days after I posted this video and called back in to Hoover, they replaced this unit with an alternative. The Hoover Service Center (where I needed to go to make the exchange) seemed to be familiar with this problem and sent me on my way with a brand new Dirt Devil vacuum with no muss or fuss. HOOVER HAS GOOD CUSTOMER SUPPORT in my book, given my experience.
i have read many complaints on how the “self cleaning filter” stpped doing that. that just goes to show you that hoover’s are not what they used to be.
The Windtunnel 2 is horrible. Original Windtunnel with the bag is the best Hoover of late.
I fix these vacuums for a living and u are sooooooooooooo right i get those machines in more than any other machine in the biz, but Hoover is still a good brand just go for the Windtunnel Supreme great machine at a great price……….Remember always go for a bagged machine not bagless.
Your so right all of you guys all their doing is talking out of there arses !!
yeh to right !!
I just finished doing the SAME thing for the second time since I have owned this piece of junk! Don’t buy this model!!
i bought this piece of crap when i bought it the filter didnt work the embedid dirt didnt work and i every time i see dirt on the floor it picks it up but doesnt put it in the dirt cup so dont get that vacuum!!!
I glad you you pointed that out to me, Now I know not to buy one, Actaully I think the original bagged hoover windtunnel, or the retro style eureka sanitaire are the best
The filter transmission is must be broken. I too fix vacs.
get rid of that ! a new filter will be over $100
buy sanitaire or a riccar with a bag!
that is a load of bull $100 for a new filter ur talking stupidly
nope they are about $100 installed
Wow, that actually is SELF cleaning!
This is why I’ll never buy a bagless vacuum.
What Dirt Devil Vacuum Do You Have??
i agree and they said it self cleand it self
