Have had this for a month now and really love it!
The Pet Hair Pickup is Awesome with the Attachments
and of course the WindTunnel Action. Here are
a few pics.

The Powered Hand Tool has Rubberized flippers
design to grap the pet hair and not stick to
the flippers.

Here is the Agitator Cavity, as metioned in another
thread these machines to not have the wind ducts
that the original windtunnels had. I have not ahd
any problem with scatter of kitty litter or dirt
thrown back at me while vacuuming.

hoover tools

nice group of vacs

hoover tools have been really crappy since the 70s, and most low end uprights have a tool with rubber nubs and no REAL dusting brush

For a pile of junk plasti-vac this looks halfway decent.

Although, it IS a shame that TTI will slap a Hoover logo on anything they produce. There was a time when Hoover was the best and the phrase "The Hoover Makes Rugs Last Longer" was true.
Now, it usually takes 10 or 20 vacuum cleaners to outlast the rug....

Hey, Rob, glad you are enjoying it. It does look a little better than most modern plastivacs. Not having the dusting brush and only one extension wand would really bother me. I don't like how they claim Windtunnel when it really isn't.... I think I will e-mail them and ask just to see what kind of response I get. I think the shape of the bag door really saves the looks for this one, because the nozzle doesn't have much personality. The belt also doesn't look easy to change! There's not a lot of room down there!

Still, it's good that you are happy with it. Good pictures, of course my favorite is the S/P, and that's a great color on that machine. I do like the bare floor pedal on the new T series.

These look like very nice machines. I have been considering getting one of these for a pretty long time now. Maybe I will end up getting one pretty soon. Nice pictures by the way! Glad you like it!

And I thought I would be the only one who would have a Windtunnel collection

I think it's weird that TTI got rid of the main unique feature of the patented WindTunnel configuration for this unit. The WindTunnel design is based on the fact that when brushes hit the carpet in one direction, and the carpet fibres "fling" back into place, the dirt is thrown in the opposite direction. Therefore, if an upright's agitator is rotating from front to back in the cavity, a lot of dirt is going to be thrown to the front of the cavity - which is why true WindTunnels have a separated suction channel in the front edge of the cavity - kind of like a suction shelf. The downside of this is that you get a pretty deep "blind spot" for cleaning at the front edge of the vacuum. But whatever dirt is hit by the agitator is whisked away into the airflow provided by all the protected "WindTunnel" channels - including the one that runs over the agitator cavity and into the front edge of the vac.

On this new T-series, it looks like the separate suction shelf on the front edge of the nozzle is gone. Wonder if the whole WindTunnel concept was "much ado about nothing." Hmmmmm..... would be interesting to do a side by side comparison of an original WT with this one.
