Hoover Windtunnel Upright Secondary Filter

I did not even know this existed..
We had the Hoover Wind Tunnel Vac for 4 years (?), I noticed that the Hepa filter was missing, so I hopped on Amazon to get that, then I see that the cylinder filter was cheaper here so I got that and then I saw this "Secondary Filter"... I had no idea that my vac had one, so I ordered it (for $4). I got it quick (it came in an normal envelope, nothing impressive) and I started to look for the where to replace it... so if you remove the canister, and look where that rests, there is a plate held down with a screw and a hole that the air goes though.. yep that is where it should go.

I unscrewed the plate, pulled my old one out, it was as black as coal! Popped the new one in, and screwed the plate down. I think you could flip this since it seems like the air only goes though one-half of the filter at a time, but we will see.

I replaced a disgusting filter with a new one, good idea in my book.

Is it OEM... nah, does that matter, nope.

Fake Product
This is not OEM and it was wrong item. They charge a 20% restocking fee and buyer paids for shipping.

Wash and Throw
After 6 months use, I will throw this away. Washing this may clean a small portion but it almost falls apart after washing. For this price, I will go to the hardware store and buy a sheet of the material and cut a piece out and have a ton left over for future use.

Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum, UH70105

A good value for a lightweight, powerful vacuum
Usually I won't buy a product on Amazon without seeing at least one customer review...but at $100 I thought I'd take a chance. I wanted a lightweight vacuum with good power, one that was bagless, able to pick up animal hair, and wouldn't cost me a fortune long-term with replacement filters. So far, this vacuum fits all those criteria.

PROS
- Easy to put together. It took me about 4 minutes once the pieces are out of the box. A Philips screwdriver is required to secure the handle. There's nothing complicated here.
- Long cord. Plus, there's a little cord clip up near the handle to secure the cord.
- Power. I was surprised to see how quickly this cleaned up and how much it got out of my carpet, even after my Roomba had taken a turn just before. Very good at getting fine cat hair out of a medium-pile carpet.
- Lightweight. You sacrifice a motor (i.e. it's not self-propelled), but the darn thing is so light it hardly matters. I had no trouble pushing this...

Great Vacuum for the Price
I was looking for a new vacuum because the Dirt Devil vacuum I had was terrible. I bought it 3 years ago when I moved into my new house and it just never worked well. I like the Hoover brand-- my mom has had her Hoover vacuum for over 30 years without major issues. I don't have pets or kids, I live alone and vacuum once a week. With that in mind, I really wasn't looking for a heavy duty or fancy vacuum. I really couldn't see paying more than $150 for a vacuum. I bought this vacuum at Best Buy for $99 after researching many differnt Hoovers. I had gift cards or I would have bought it here cheaper.

This vacuum is simple. It's lightweight, has basic attachments and works really well. When I got it home it took 5 minutes to unpack and attach the handle. I was excited to use it and see how it did. It worked great. It sucked everything up. I couldn't believe how much dust and dirt was in my carpet. I live in AZ so it does get dirty but I never really noticed since my...

It's the best I've had.
I'm quite surprised at negative reviews. Of course, I'm not sure how high my expectations are as I have not owned that many vacuums. However, I do find that this does its job really well, vacuuming every last bit of pet hair out of my carpet - and that never happened to me before ! I chose it mainly because I was interested in something bagless, so I would not have to purchase bags, and the washable filters were a huge plus - no filters to buy either, you just clean them yourself. I've done so several times already with no problem whatsoever - easy and efficient. If you're a neatfreak, you're in control without having to spend more on clean bags and filters. I used to have a Eureka Boss with allergy filters. I liked it fine, I thought it did a good job, but when I got this one I realized how much I was missing. We are in a small carpeted apartment with a dog (half chow half shepherd) who sheds a lot, and never before was I able to get rid of all the hair so completely (I got down to...
