No. The reason why the base to my Self Propelled Windtunnel is loose is because it’s designed to pivot. The smaller area in the brackets is meant for the anchors to the rest of the base.

I have learned that the loose bases are completely normal for all self propelled Hoover units. Thank you all for the help, though.

It was just held on by these. They’re okay.

This clear part is the loose part. Anywhere I could tighten it? There’s also some play with the upper body.

The carpet downstairs isn’t plush or rubber backed. It is old. Dating back to 2012-2013.

You’re gonna need this video.

The Hoover Lean? AFAIK, none of my Hoovers have that. It's just that the base is loose to the point of sticking onto the carpet when the machine is on. Makes it near impossible to push on some of my area rugs. IDK if this is wear and tear because this vacuum dates all the way back to October...

The entire nozzle base. Yes, the upper body has the motor and the bottom half has all of those.

I recently acquired a V6 and the sound from the motor is UNBEARABLY high pitched. Makes the motors TTI used for their bagged Windtunnels sound tolerable.

I’ve noticed this for a while since I’ve acquired my Hoover Self Propelled Windtunnel. The base can be pushed up by hand. This causes the base to stick to carpet and I’m wondering if this issue can be fixed or if this is just wear and tear.

Oh, silly me! Lol.

Update - This dude’s on this site now. Let’s bring this thread back to relevancy.

Let people talk about what they want, dude.

If he’s doing that to 99% of the vacuums in today’s market, does he even know what today’s technology or standards are for that matter?

Yeah. All that was wrong with it was the top motor bushing and the wrong filter being installed.

Oh. Thanks for giving me the correct term, then.

I just call it ghetto because everything doesn’t match up and the coupling used is a mere PVC pipe I heat manipulated.
