Very uncommon

Hoover Windtunnel Bagless in a black/silver! Facebook Marketplace listing

On eBay

Somehow it seems like someone at Hoover thought it would be a good idea to also make this design into a commercial machine. This looks like an almost new example of the commercial version with this weird diagonal filter design. Pretty cool!

Since that link won't be around for much longer, it's better to post pictures instead for the record. That was one of my mistakes when I posted a link off of eBay before, it was my actual first time posting here on VL 10 years ago. Anyways, that's one of if not the worst commercial vacuums ever. No wonder you don't see too many of these.

Yeah I saw that on ebay! Wild how few appear, it doesn't even have the appearance of a commercial grade unit. But I passed on it because the only one of these I want is the Aqua since that's the one I saw at Target as a kid. I still remember that day. It was right next to a baby blue Hoover Elite, the very last of the line with the 12 amp motors.

I like how

The design of the bagless compartment makes it look like it's falling apart

I just think it would be interesting to own a piece of kind of lost Hoover history. The bagless machines do have the flaw but at the end of this day, it's still the Windtunnel chassis so it's definitely the WORST thing out there, just the bagless system was very very flawed. I don't think they had a good stable bagless until the Elite Rewind.

Definitely NOT the WORST* I meant to say.
