Hoover Windtunnel S3639 Vacuum Cleaner Review
Customers who like canister vacuum cleaners will love this powerful, feature loaded model. It has a stylish translucent body and is relatively compact. It uses superior suction power on carpeted surfaces, and with the flick of a switch, can be usable on bare floors. The Hoover Windtunnel S3639 has got a whopping 1400 Watt power motor, which makes it one of the most powerful Hoover canister vacuum cleaners. To top it off it's also relatively quiet to use.

This Hoover picks up more dirt than any other canister because of it having a 15 inch cleaning head width, and duel edge groomers.
The various attachments make it usable to clean your home thoroughly including tight corners.
It is good for cleaning under furniture, curtains and getting dust from light fittings.
It has a year warranty against defects.
Great power nozzle
Versatile attachments
Well designed tool storage
Good value
Easily moves between carpet and hard surfaces.
Can be tiring to use when used on a large expanse of deep pile carpet.
Not as good as an upright cleaner on carpets
On top of the canister there are two identical shaped foot operation switches. One turns the machine on and off while the other is to retract the generously long power cord. As each switch looks virtually the same, it is very easy to depress the wrong one.
Hose does not spin completely around so tangles very easily.
Cheaply made attachments.
Made of poor quality and seems to have quite a few problems with attachment breakage.
Small bag capacity.
Pros
Cons
Though the Hoover Windtunnel S3639 Vacuum cleaner does a good job with the power nozzle equipped canister; it is still no match for the uprights ability to lift flattened carpet pile. However it is ergonomically designed and is easy to use. Reviewers top mark this Hoover more often than any other full sized canister vacuum cleaner on the market. People especially like the windtunnel's nozzle design, which helps stops dirt from being spit back out of the machine. It also performed well in emissions test.
