The Word Hoover is synonymous with vacuum cleaner in fact within the British Isles Hoover means vacuum cleaner. Credited with the invention of the rolling beater bar Hoover Vacuum Cleaners have been in the business of making vacuums for almost a century. Within the last 15 years competition from low priced competitors and changes in technology have reduced the companies market share. Hoover vacuums have recently become more competitive with application of new bag less technology in its upright series and diversifying into other floor cleaning products.
Hoover vacuum cleaners that have the new technology do perform very well but are not cheap. Hoovers WindTunnel brand is considered one of the top rated upright vacuums on the market today. Features like self propulsion, special pet hair cleaner, beater bar stop for hardwood floors, and edge groomer for cleaning next to base boards are great cleaning aids. Probably the greatest feature of the Hoover WindTunnel model is its suction power. The bag less system allow greater air flow and thus better dirt pickup. In addition Hoover Vacuum Cleaners come with larger HEPA filters to aid increase suction power.
The company still makes Hoover vacuum cleaners that use the older bag technology for dirt capture. Recently studies have shown that vacuum cleaners that use bags in conjunction with a quality HEPA filter do a better job or removing allergens, fine particles, dust mites and other biologics than bag less designs. The companies WidePath model uses this combination of both old and new technologies to prevent the vacuum cleaners exhaust air from reintroducing fine pollutants into the air. In many cases a poorly design vacuum can cause severe allergic reactions due to poor filtration. It appears that Hoover vacuum cleaners have solved this problem.
