These are more or less a descendant from the Hoover T Series which came out in the late 2000s. I've owned both one of the originals and a Windtunnel Max from 2016ish. The Windtunnel Max died last year after regular service but my parents didn't take well care of it. They clean carpets very well and the hose suction is also strong. I just checked and this bagged model uses Y bags, which have been in production for decades and are easy to find/inexpensive. If it's calling to you, you should buy it. Probably won't last 10 years but that ain't bad for $170 these days
