Hoover Company Complaint - Tired of being personally injured - hoover windtunnel upright vacuum
hoover windtunnel upright vacuum - Complaint
I have bought & supported the Hoover vacuum products for over 30 years. However, I am ready to set my with my windtunnel upright vacuum out for trash pickup! It vacuums carpet well, but I use the attachments just as much as the floor appliance. This vacuum had to be designed by A MAN THAT HAS NEVER USED THIS APPLIANCE!!!!! The appliance hose is too rigid & far too short. Even with the slightest pull using the extending wands it will pull the whole vacuum cleaner over on the user!! I have had it hit me in the back while bending over; the calf, the shins, the ankles & I AM TIRED OF THE BRUISES!!! It is heavy & hits with a force. Next time I get ready to purchase a vacuum cleaner, I will check this function out personally & Will NOT purchase a Hoover!!!!!

It sounds like it's possessed ;)
Hit you in the back? I don't see how that's even possible. If you feel the hose is too short, take it to a vacuum repair place...they can put as long a hose on as you'd like.
I am in my 50s and have never been attacked by a vacuum.
Good luck.

I hear ya. Almost every vacuum I've ever owned does that. I just bought some lightweight vacuum for $45. Works fine and the hose is really long. And if I'm going REALLY far away from it with the hose, I just drag it with me without breaking my back.
