Hoover U6476-900 WindTunnel Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this vacuum a lot and eventually one day it would not turn off.The actuator inside the handle is plastic and if the switch is stiff the plastic bends and does not rock the switch to off.
Take the two small screws out of the handle and remove the handle (just the reverse of how you assembled it).This will expose the on-off rocker switch. Rock it back and forth manually and the vacuum should turn on and off.If not the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. However, mine was very stiff.It worked when I manually rocked it but was too stiff when I put it back together to turn off.
What has worked for me on this vacuum:I went to radio shack and bought a spray can of Control/Contact Cleaner and Lubricant. It comes with a small piece of tubing.Once the handle was off (again) I put the tube into the top edge of the switch and pushed the button FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND and then did the bottom edge of the switch. I worked the switch manually a couple of times. I repeated the spraying one more time and the rocking. I wiped off any excess that was visible.I put it all back together and it has been working fine for me.
This stuff is made for electrical contacts...HOWEVER, it is to be used very sparingly!!!Also, a new can has a bit of pressure. Be careful that you don't blow some back at you.

Product Description:
Perfect for deep cleaning without excessive strain, the self-propelled Hoover WindTunnel Ultra upright takes charge of its own locomotion both coming and going. In addition, Hoover's WindTunnel technology creates a powerful double air path for maximum suction and cleaning. The vacuum even provides feedback on cleaning progress with the Embedded Dirt Finder--a feature that scans the floor for debris, signaling you if there's still dirt to be picked up. You can operate the Dirt Finder on a regular setting for your routine cleaning or on a high setting for your deep-cleaning sprees. The WindTunnel Ultra is designed for both bare floors and carpets, with a 15-inch cleaning path and three adjustable nozzle heights to accommodate variation in carpet depth. Dirt collection is bagged using Hoover's Microfiltration system, and a helpful indicator signal keeps you posted on the bag's status. A HEPA filter assists the bag, trapping 100 percent of dust mites and 99.98 percent of ragweed and common grass pollens. The vacuum comes handsomely equipped for attachment cleaning with a stretch hose, two extension wands, a crevice tool, an upholstery tool, and a dusting brush all on board. (The Dirt Finder does not work with the attachments.) The most rigorous attachment is a powered hand tool with its own rotating brush roll--great for carpeted stairs and durable upholstery. Other useful elements include quick-release cord hooks, a carrying handle, a headlight, and a view window over the brush roll. Hoover covers the machine with a one-year warranty.
