The Hoover® WindTunnel Whole House Rewind is ideal for Whole Home Cleaning from floor to ceiling and delivers powerful performance on every surface. WindTunnel technology and Multi-Cyclonic filtration lifts and removes surface debris and deep down embedded dirt with no loss of suction.
The bottom line. Many vacuum brands recommend changing the bag before it becomes full, at least every three months. The purpose of changing the vacuum bag when you need to is so that your vacuum cleaner is working at an optimal level.
If your vacuum is fairly new and this is the first time you`re experiencing a problem, repairs are probably the best option. In fact, your vacuum may still be covered under warranty. However, if you`ve had to pay for multiple repairs and you`ve had the appliance for many years, it might be time for a new one.
Yes. Just cut off the existing seal, remove as much food as you need, then re-vacuum seal. Be sure to wipe off any food or grease residue inside the FoodSaver® bag near the seal area. You can also re-seal FoodSaver® Bags after you have washed them.
Buy a tube of high-strength plastic glue.

Plastic glues are specially formulated to create bonds between plastic surfaces on a molecular level. Look for a product that`s designed for use with the type of plastic you`re repairing. Most standard super glues can also be applied to plastics with good results.

A bagged vacuum cleaner works in the traditional way of using a replaceable bag as a filter to trap the dirt while allowing air to flow through the bag. Bags must be replaced when they are full. Bagless vacuum cleaners use filters to trap dirt and debris in a dirt cup or chamber that can then be emptied.
The HEPA filter is located under the dirt cup and under where it says HEPA. Twist the top counterclockwise to unlock the cap.
What is the weight of the vacuum? The full weight of the vacuum is 14 lbs.
It is the filter`s job to trap dirt and other particles from being expelled back into the air. Even so, filters are probably one of the most ignored aspects of a vacuum cleaner, especially when it comes to their maintenance and care.
Can you reuse vacuum seal bags? The quick answer is yes, especially if you`re using vacuum sealer rolls.
There are 4 filters fitted to the product, for best cleaning results they should be removed and cleaned at least once per month.

Parts replacement We have a Hoover Steam Vac that has a broken part #10 in your picture or Part # 37271035. Does this part cover the whole top section of the Vac? Is it hard to replace? Where can you get the best prices on Hoover parts? I have been on Hoovers website and they don’t even recognize this Steam Vac. which is hard to believe they don’t even recognize their own unit?

ANSWER : This the hood or top cover. There some screws on the bottom as well as on the top, then it comes off.

How to replace power cord on Hoover WindTunnel upright vacuum
ANSWER : The aforementioned solutions probably never even attempted this fix on this model. The handle does NOT need to come off. but the 5 screws on the front housing DO: 2 above the light and 3 below it. Then to get the colored housing off you need to access 2 screws on the underside that are beneath the agitator roller. To do that, obviously the 4 screws holding the bottom plate need to come off too. Here’s a link to a schematic that might help as you attempt to do this, (assuming that you still do!) http://www.elkypro.com/hoops2005/vacuum_parts/hoover/U5461-900.html

Once you have the main body housing cover off, then you can access the 2 screws atop of each trunnion cover that holds the motor assembly cover halves together. If you’ve made it this far, then gently pry apart the motor halves keeping even as yo do. Now you can see all the wiring necessary to cut and splice. Happy cord replacing! As for me, I am headed for the store, as I am not so sure I can remember how to get the darn thing put back together. But it was fun taking it apart!

No more problem.

I HAVE LOST MY INSTRUCTION BOOK FOR THE STEAM VAC SPIN AND SCRUB. I WANT TO USE THE STAIR ATTACHMENT, BUT I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOOK IT UP, OR OPERATE IT. I SEE WHERE THE PLUG IN PART GOES IN THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE, BUT I CAN’T GET THE OTHER PART TO SLIDE INTO PLACE ON THE FRONT OF THE RESOVIOR TANK AFTER I REMOVE THE FRONT PANEL, AS THE DIRECTIONS ON THE FRONT OF THE RECOVERY TANK SAY TO DO. THE FIT IS JUST TOO TIGHT. WHAT AM I DON’T WRONG- OR HOW COULD I GET A REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTION BOO
