The cover of the owener's manual says, "Congratulations on your purchase!" It should read "Our condolences on your purchase."
We purchased this vacuum 3/3/07. It is a "Supreme Windtunnel", but the model number is U5458-910. We bought one, took it home and assembled it-- doesn't anything come assembled anymore? We found out the Embedded Dirt Finder didn't work. So we took it back, got another one (which we also assembled).
This one literally eats carpet. There have been several times when I'd be vacuuming and suddenly the brush would catch on the carpet and pull up what ended up being a 10-12" strand of yarn. I have repaired our carpet at least six times since we've purchased this thing. I only use it on the highest setting but still it has happened. We did not care for the fact that the brushes do not stop when you use the hand tools, but now I also would have to worry that it might start eating carpet while I'm vacuuming the couch.
The latest "new feature" is that I now must turn it on and off by using the power cord. The on/off switch quit working.
I will never buy another Hoover product again. It is ruining our (less than 5 year-old) carpet and has caused me much aggravation and stress. It's a piece of junk! Actually, I wouldn't give it any stars.
