That one was made in September of 2000.

I love my Hoover Tempo Widepath upright which has the WindTunnel suction channels in the brush cavity. It's a powerful deep carpet cleaner and very easy to use. I got the original version that came with a headlight and bag change indicator (the newer versions don't have this) Though the on-board tools and short hose are rather useless for anything other than spot cleaning of hard to get at spaces, it is a fantastic carpet cleaner and very good value for the money - only CAD$120 at Home Depot here in Toronto! Great Suck for the Buck!

How did you end up with a SA model ?

I had a 5400,

Which I have passed on to my daughter. Still going strong, Panasonic
upright attachment set, with tapered end piece to insert into the short hose of the Windtunnel.
Then you have an awesome cannister like suction and convience. Especially when you buy a new or a used floor brush for hard floors, under beds, and furniture. Also
great for cleaning the car especially with a tubo nozzle, Great on Carpeted steps too.
For me all the fun of a Kirby, but with a Hoover Windtunnel and less hassel. Liter weight too.

i found

my windtunnel t pet rewind in the trash bc the hose was clogged up and the had the wand stuffed inside and they replaced it with a bissell lift off so i took it and it workd good all i need to do to it is order the tools for it and it will be brand new

Isn't it a sin

when people just 'throw away' these machines? They must have tons of $$$ to waste. Imagine how many cleaners end up in the trash senselessly.

Hoover Windtunnel U5301-9RM

Hey guys I recently purchased this Hoover windtunnel U5301-9RM at a yard sale. Doess anyone know how old tis model is? Thanks

 

[mieles7]

I believe the age is based on the 1st 4 digits of the serial number. For example, my Hoover Power Drive's serial number starts with 0797, so the vacuum would have been made in July 1997, or 7/97.

I MUST get all of mine together for a family photo

This latest one was bought new...for only $20.00 plus free shipping. It's the "Anniversary" model. I thought before I got this that they only made it in blue. I was wrong. It's as heavy as the Convertibles, though. So much for 'plastic'...only cheaper, not actually lighter in most cases. I'll post a pic later.
