2. The Wall Street Journal

Muñoz tests three bagless upright vacuum cleaners: Shark Infinity, Hoover WindTunnel 2 and Dyson Absolute DC17. Unfortunately, she doesn't say much about performance, beyond her opinion that all three vacuums "did a good job of sucking up spilled food and dirt."

In this informative video review of the bagless Hoover Windtunnel 2, Ben Freedman praises this vacuum's Star Trek-style design, while the more nuts-and-bolts Tiffany Young calls the self-cleaning a "gimmick" because you still have to empty the dust bin by hand. They both agree that this vacuum is heavy and loud (as you can hear for yourself when they turn it on).
