(2008) Hoover Windtunnel U5471-900.

This is a decent machine I got for $8. Only thing that's wrong with it is the rod that keeps it on and it won't turn off.

I always found that extremely cheap and nonsensical, making an on off switch with just a long plastic stick to flip a switch on and off rather than hard wiring a switch off the motor with real wires.

I think this one was the mid-range model. It has the dirt sensor and attachment cubby, but only one height control setting and no Powerdrive.

I’m having a similar issue with the switch on my 2006 green Hoover Windtunnel SP.
