What Hoover is this?

I know it says "Pet Cyclonic" on the front but I have seen another one that said "Windtunnel Cyclonic". There are no "pet" related features except lint collecting material on the upholstery tool. This is its third year now and its making "noises" like a slight shuddering with the brushroll on, slight whining when I pull it back with the brushroll on(starting to think the belt is slipping; haven't changed it yet), and a horrible shuddering when i push it on hard floors.

If this is the one you have, it has a pet turbo tool on the front!

Vax made a similar version (since they are all under the same TTI ownership). It was known as the Vax Mach 7 and came with an auto cord rewind at the back. I had one on a trial period but didn't like the noise or the build quality.

The plastic creaks when I pick it up! so sad...

If the brush roll is making a squeak, lift it out if you can and check the sides - its a possibility that carpet threads, or threads in general have wound up at the sides.

I think the model number for this model is UH70085.

It hasn't done well on Amazon.com:

It looks very much like a big heavy green monster given to me.Filter gets dirty very fast.
