\#1 and #3 are the same vacuum just different color and accessories. They're pretty good at cleaning carpets but not very well built. They have swivel steering but the brushroll always spins even when using the hose. Since they're practically the same #1 is cheaper and the better value. \#2 is the best carpet vacuum of the 3. It has a stiff brushroll, more carpet height adjustment, a bigger motor, and my favorite a longer cord. It is heavier and it doesn't have swivel steering. Also the current version removed the brushroll shutoff switch so the brushroll is always on like #1 & #3. So my pick of the 3 would be #2 the Hoover WindTunnel High Performance Pet. Although all of the Hoovers have hepa filters all bagless tend to leak dust over time. If you have allergies I recommend the bagged version the Hoover Complete Performance Advanced UH30650PC $169, it's similar to #2 but it uses hepa bags.

Heny hoovers are terrible in my experience. Ive used them at work and they're nothing special at all. I have that shark vacuum at home (have a pet and partner that both molt a lot as well) and its incredible. I did a vacuum downstairs in just the living room and I was surprised by the fact it was nearly full already.... That last bit may sound bad as it may sound like its got a small capacity for stuff (idk what its called. On a old vacuum it would be called the bag?), but i previously had an actual hoover that sucked ass. And would struggle to pick anything up. It sucks up so much rubbish its great. I know i sound like im sponsored by them, but I was very frustrated for ages on having such a terrible vacuum. I even tried my mums shark one that was terrible. It was old and sounded like a jet engine and cordless. But she told me to get the one I currently have now (the one in the photo above) as she recently got it as well. Best decision i ever made. I nearly bought a Dyson, but im glad I didnt. Its definitely worth spending a little more in my opinion on something like this. Worth it in the long run

I have 2 Hoover Windtunnels. Work great very old. I have 3 working Shark Robot vacs. Oldest is 12 yrs old. Still using all 3 on each level of house.

We use our cordless vacuum just for the hardwood floors and tiles. We used a bagged, corded vacuum to clean area rugs. If I run the Dyson stick over the rugs, I can run the 12 amp Hoover after and still suck up a bunch of dog fur the Dyson missed.

I’ve used the Hoover Windtunnel, then the Dyson Ball Animal 2, before finally settling on the Sebo X 7 Premium. It’s the best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever owned, and it’s my final upright for the foreseeable future.

We have hard surfaces on 1st & 2nd floors, Our Dyson stick V8 & V10 (one per floor, oldest is like 8 years?) is great for those; but I'd never rely on it for carpets. For that I have a 25 year old Hoover Windyunnel bagged that is repairable and running well.

I still have a Hoover Windtunnel from 2001 or 2002 I think. I haven’t been using it much because I need to replace some bearings. Those things were incredible, and this is coming from a guy who never thought he’d be the least bit interested or excited about a vacuum cleaner.

I would NOT recommend any of the cordless vacuums, stick or otherwise.. I spent $500 on a Dyson V11 cordless stick and it lost suction after a couple of months. Consumer Reports won't even recommend a cordless vacuum because of the power loss. I have a Hoover bagless upright that works well.
