Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) but otherwise, the Hoover Windtunnel MAX Bagged Upright - UH30600 IS a VERSATILE, hard-working vacuum cleaner!
Let me get the ergonomics problems out of the way:
1) the handle needs to be tilted at a slightly steeper angle -- as it stands now, it is a bit unwieldy -- too straight-- makes some of the vacuuming movements a bit awkward for proper wrist action. Even better, the handle should have one or two secure click-stops that allow for adjustability.
2) the back of the handle is almost SHARP - it bites into the hand -- I solved the problem by wrapping a sock around it, but REALLY, this area of the handle should have been rounded and convex - not concave.
3) the snap-on holder for the clear brush attachment (up close to the handle top) did not snap on correctly -- the slots that line up with the raised areas fall a bit short on one side. I was tempted to put it in the unlit but warm oven to expand it a bit, but opted instead for wrapping clear tape around it to secure it (worked nicely), so it AND the attachment (which fits into it very nicely) would not fall off.
4) the screw that holds the handle onto the body - hmm.. when I unpacked everything, I gave one last look into the long large box the vacuum cleaner came in, and saw something shiny wedged into a corner at the VERY bottom of the box -- it was the assembly screw. I was happy it had not fallen OUT of the box during transit. So I bent over to grab it and almost fell headfirst into the long box -- LOL, sort of..... The piece of paper with assembly instructions that the screw had been attached to was in another corner of the box.
Other than that (the screw holds the handle with no wobble) -- this is a fairly compact but highly versatile vacuum cleaner-- and I like the generous 30' long cord-- no sense griping about cord storage-- you would need a Large area on the vacuum cleaner for a retracting cord storage unit - which would be unwieldy and would unbalance the vacuum cleaner.
I LIKE the thick no-nonsense HEPA bag -- it looks like it maens Business. Good!
I have just begun to use this vacuum cleaner, and so far am happy with it, but need to play with all of its bells and whistles to get more input and get a better feel for it. (To be continued......)
UPDATE: Oct 10, 2011: I made a few passes over a blue rug in my bedroom that had been turned into "white shag" carpeting by Her Supreme Largeness, (Cat) Big Bad Baby Twinkle. WOW!! With its nice gliiiding action, and with the center dial turned to the middle (and with BBBT, who is far from deaf, fearlessly reclining about 10 feet away, totally ignoring the vacuum cleaner noises) the Hoover Windtunnel Max dug in and made the rug look like new in a few seconds! GONE were the white hairs (soon to be replenished there by BBBT, I am sure) -- and in their place was the once-beautiful blue rug that I had known and loved and installed many months before. I also vacuumed other areas of the bedroom and hallway, with its different pile-sized rugs and hardwood floors, and used different dial settings -- the Hoover performed fearlessly and thoroughly. Excellent!!!! The wand also gave a strong performance -- it had great suction and almost sucked up a doorstop.
