Hoover WindTunnel Bagless S3765-040 Review

What the reviewers like:
Experts and owners agree that, for its price, the Hoover WindTunnel Bagless S3765-040 canister vacuum offers excellent performance. Owners especially like this vacuum's telescoping wand, which is good for cleaning drapes and stairs. Its powered hand tool digs debris from upholstery.

What the reviewers don't like:
The Hoover WindTunnel Bagless S3765-040 canister vac is slightly heavier and harder to maneuver than some other canister vacuums, and because it's bagless, emptying its bin can be messy affair.
