Hoover Wind Tunnel Vacuum

An important consideration for asthma sufferers is to limit their exposure to triggers or eliminate them all together.  High quality units with HEPA filtration systems will help remove many triggers such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and get things really clean.  The Hoover Self Propelled Wind Tunnel Ultra is perfect for this task.

The Wind Tunnel upright has special features making use easy.  It is self propelled, which is perfect because it is a larger unit.  The vacuum will pull itself around the area, sucking up dirt and debris on the way.

The dirt finder on this unit will remind the user to slow down when vacuuming by letting him know when the area is clean.  This is great for those who have a problem with trying to get the job done too quickly.

Attachments

The Wind Tunnel Ultra offers easy to use attachments that work well.  To activate any attachment lock the handle in the upright position.  This automatically turns the dual agitator brushes off.

The hose is a flexible, high quality extension that doesn't require you to connect it to anything for it to be used.  All that must be done is to pull the end of the hose from the vacuum and begin using it.  The model has two extension wands, a crevice tool, an upholstery nozzle with rotating brush and a dusting brush.

Ability to clean

This unit works well on hard wood and carpet.  It features a bare floor setting that will turn the agitator brush off so that it doesn't blow the dirt out while vacuuming.

It offers a lot of power for hard wood floors, picking up pretty much anything.  Vacuuming rugs and carpets is easy also.  With the dirt finder and the high power level cleaning is easy.  Throw in the built in edge cleaner and you have a nice vacuum.

Filtration system

Many people may be shocked to find a vacuum in this price range that still uses bags.  This isn't a bad feature, especially for asthma sufferers who may find emptying a bag-less unit to be tricky and may suffer from releasing the dirt and debris back into the air.

The Wind Tunnel uses 3 M vacuum bags that feature a full HEPA filtration in a 6 step process to ensure that dust, pollen and other triggers remain in the bag and don't get back into the home or air.  This unit also offers an easy to read indicator that will tell you when the bag is full.

The bottom line

The Wind Tunnel is a great cleaner and is one of the best to be found.  It is a wonderful choice for asthma sufferers and is easy to use and has plenty of power.

The embedded dirt finder can become an asthma sufferer's best friend quickly.  The vacuum is rated #1 in several magazines, which proves that this unit is more than worth the purchase.
