Summary: Hoover Windtunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vac 3765
Comment: It's a great vacuum. I just wish the warranty was longer. My vacuum is 11 months old and I'm having to take it in for warranty repair. I guess I should be glad it's not over one year old. Anyway, I tried several vacuums, even the Dysons. This vacuum surpasses all of them. I have hardwood and tile with area rugs in our main floor and our upstairs is hardwood in hall and master, tile in one bath and carpet in the kids and guest rooms. Anyway, this vacuum does fantastically on all floor surfaces. I cannot believe how much stuff we pick up every time we vacuum. I now know that we were probably filling vacuum bags every time we vacuumed, when we had bagged vacuums. Anyway, if you like a canister, this is the way to go.

Summary: Good vac for a small place
Comment: I'm a single guy who hates to clean -- and buy bags. I have purchased many vacuums over the years, including: Meile Canister, Dyson, Panasonic Bagless, Kenmore Bagged, Hoover Windtunnel 1 (bagged), and Hoover Empower. Each has its strenghts and weaknesses.
Compared with the above, I prefer the WindTunnel Bagless Canister. Review:
-Cleaning Carpets: Above average
-Cleaning Floors: Above average
-Cleaning with attachments: Best of the lot
-Cleaning with Power Hand Tool: Best of the lot
-Ease of emptying permanent HEPA filter: Average. Better than earlier Hoover Bagless models, not as good as Dyson.
-Capacity of waste cup: Below average. I have a 1000 sq ft place, and the cup is just about right for one cleaning. For a larger place, you would have to empty the cup several times each cleaning.
-Noise level: Average
-Weight: Lighter than most
What makes this vac great for a small, crowded place is the fact that the unit is a highly portable canister, with the most powerful hand tools available. These are perfect for reaching into corners and tight spots, places where a wide upright can't reach.
If I had a large place with lots of carpet, I'd consider the Hoover Windtunnel2 Bagless (I'd research this one carefully, given the negative reviews), the Dyson, or the Kenmore Bagless.

Summary: Great Vacuum!
Comment: This Hoover has several really clever features. First, the controls are all right at your fingertips in the handle. The suction control is great, and when you turn it up all the way - WOW!
The handle is one-piece with a telescoping feature to adjust to your height. This also makes it easy to stretch it out really long and get under the bed easily.
I really like the bagless feature - I'll never buy another 'bagged' vacuum again. I carry the dust container out to the garage and empty it in a grocery bag, then tie up the bag. The dust never gets a chance to 'poof' back out into the house.
Overall, a great vacuum and well worth the price.

Summary: Wow! Best Vacuum I've Ever Owned!
Comment: In 28 years of housekeeping I've owned at least six vacuum cleaners. Some were very inexpensive because that's all I could afford, and some were a little better quality. But all of them died after just a few years. I nursed along my GE cannister vacuum for an extra year because I dreaded spending the money for a new one, AGAIN.
Finally the day came that I couldn't put it off anymore. I read the reviews on Amazon and settled for the Hoover S3765-040. I had never tried a bag-less vacuum, but it will be nice to not have to search for bags at Walmart or online.
It arrived in just a couple of days, thanks to Amazon's free shipping, and I quickly assembled it and tried it out. Our home is always dirty, with two adults, four kids, a dog and a cat, and assorted neighbor kids running in an out. This vacuum has such powerful suction and such a GREAT rugbeater head that it got a gallon of pet hair, dirt, dust and fuzz balls out of my downstairs! I had to stop and empty the cup a few times, and was amazed at what my poor old vacuum hadn't picked up!
Inside the dirt collector cup is a filter, which got dirt and fuzz stuck in it. I was dreading picking all that out each time, but it cleaned up in one minute. I took it outside, rolled it between my hands and tapped it firmly on the deck, and tons of dirt and fuzz came out. It looks new again after each cleaning!
I'm delighted with the caster wheels on this product, too. My old one rolled on its back when I pulled it. This one has a nice long cord (20 feet)and a long hose on the suction end too. It also has the power button on the part you hold in your hand - much nicer than having to find the cannister stuck between the sofa and the armchair to turn it off. My only complaint is that there isn't a clip on it to hold the other brush attachments. So I'll have to go find them in a closet when I want to use them. But to my delight, the small brush attachment from my old GE fit on this one too....so I can brush smaller areas than the new attachments would allow.
Overall, this is a wonderful, well designed product. It's powerful, lightweight, rolls easily, and avoids the need for bags. I'm so pleased with this vacuum cleaner!

Summary: Hoover S3765-040 WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum
Comment: I was hesitant to buy this vacuum because I was not sure if it was going to have enough suction. Well...........it is awesome. For the money you cannot beat it. It picks up more dirt from the carpet than my Electrolux. I have bad allergies so I need to vacuum almost everyday and the amount of stuff it picks up is unbeleivable. Recommend it highly. It does have a small dust cup but who cares you just empty more often. Just love it!
