Verdict

The Hoover WindTunnel Cord Rewind offers strong suction, large capacity, height adjustment, and a convenient cord rewind system, making it a solid workhorse for bigger homes. Its heavy, bulky body and unsealed filtration are the main trade-offs, but it suits buyers who want a powerful full-size upright with good stair reach and do not mind the extra weight.

Cons

    Bulky, heavy body and basic head design keep handling somewhat clumsy compared with lighter uprights.

    Unsealed canister allows some fine dust escape; HEPA filtering does not fully prevent blowback.
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.0
    Brush roll tends to accumulate long strands of hair, so regular detangling is needed to keep it spinning freely.
  • Weight ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.0
    Heavy at roughly 16.8 lb; carrying and maneuvering can be tiring.
