1994 Chevrolet 2500 Pickup ProblemsInside/Outside Door Handles May Break
The inside and outside door handles are prone to breaking.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
The windshield wipers may not work intermittently due to a faulty wiper motor control board. Our technicians tell us that lightly taping on the wiper motor when the fault occurs should temporarily get the wipers working again. Some vehicles were recalled for this problem and some were not. You will need to check with your local dealer to find out if a specific vehicle was included.

Except for the fact that I never felt the same way about Zubat, Tentacool, Geodude, etc. as most other people did, that was a good animation. The animation was fluid and you did a good job with the sounds. Thinking that it's even your first animation, well done! ^^
Thanks a lot, yeah could've been improved but practice makes perfect :)
Haha, I can relate to this, lmao, that's exactly what it's like walking through caves without repel. Nice twist at the end. :) The animation is smooth, the drawings simple but lifelike, and the whole layout is just like the game. Pikachu doesn't look as cute, but still, it's all pretty similar. Nice work!
Thanks a lot, hopefully I can get better and get that pikachu all nice and cute for you if I ever decide to do another pokemon parody ;)
i always forget to buy repels when it came time to traverse through a cave....
Especially early on in the game :)
the golbat sign trolled ash so hard.
haha yup :)

The State Department said that four other diplomats were injured, one critically. The U.S.-led military coalition said three service members and two coalition civilians died in the attack. While the coalition, following usual practice, didn't disclose all of the exact...

THE sky was a pristine blue over the Tour de France peloton yesterday but storm clouds are looming large again, as sources in Spain indicated that the now infamous Operación Puerto anti-doping investigation may reveal further high-profile names from other sports.
Pat McQuaid, the president of the International Cycling Union (UCI), confirmed that the Spanish Civil Guard-led investigation into a doping ring centred on the Madrid sports doctor, Eufemiano Fuentes, was likely to expand into other areas. "Only riders have been named so far," he said. "But many footballers, tennis players and athletes are on the list. Two years ago,

Magna Global Intelligence and UM China recently released a 47-page report on China, the world's third largest ad market, which is forecast to overtake Japan to be the second biggest ad market globally next year.
China's total ad spend is estimated to be worth $57 billion in 2015, after the largest ad market worldwide, the United States.
Below are 12 key facts on social media, mobile, search, and programmatic ad spend in the country extracted from the report:
- There are more than half a billion Internet users in China with more than 70 percent of first-time users surfing the Web on a mobile device.
- China's digital market will be larger than its TV market this year, one of only 12 countries globally, and one of the only Asia Pacific countries apart from Australia.
- Social media ad spend in China will grow the fastest of any of the digital sub-segments, at 67.6 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2018.
- Mobile social will grow by nearly 100 percent CAGR and will make up more than 10 percent of total digital market in China by 2018.
- Mobile-based advertising comprises 10 percent of digital ad revenues and 3.5 percent of total ad revenues in China. It's growing strongly, as mobile devices are becoming a common way to access the Web and the popular Weibos or microblogging social networks.
- Despite China's programmatic market share being only 5 percent and increasing to 23 percent by 2017, it will still be the third largest programmatic market globally in 2017 due to the massive size of the Chinese digital market.
- Just 8 percent of total display market in China will be transacted programmatically in 2014, although this will grow to 23 percent and $3.5 billion by 2017.
- China has the second largest search advertising market in the world behind the U.S., at more than $11 billion in 2014.
- The top five advertisers for digital media in China for 2013 are P&G, China Mobile, Volkswagen, L'Oreal, and 360Buy.
- Instant messaging is the most popular activity on the Internet at 85 percent.
- Microblogging is "falling out of favor," with Internet usage dipped from 58 percent in 2011 to 45 percent last year.
- Online shopping is one of the highest growth categories, which rose from 30 percent in 2011 to nearly 50 percent last year. This is followed by travel booking, an increase of 20 percent since 2011, at 30 percent in 2013.

I thought I'd write about what things I use for blogging – and what things I used when I started out as it might help others looking to make an investment or just see that you can blog regularly and don't need the top of the range technology.
When I first started blogging seriously I bought myself a Chromebook and it was definitely a great investment. Everything is run through the Chrome browser and you can download apps for it too but it's basically an internet based laptop. You can't install software on it but you can use things like Google Sheets, Google Docs and Picmonkey.
My Chromebook let me access all my files anywhere in the world and was so lightweight and portable, weighing next to nothing. The only downside was storage space – I had to invest in an external hard drive to store photos on.

This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 200,647, filed Oct. 27, 1980 abandoned.
The invention disclosed herein relates to a glass fiber forming feeder having at least one laminated wall comprised of a refractory metal substrate having an oxygen impervious, precious metal sheath intimately bended thereto by means of hot isostatically pressing the precious metal sheath to the refractory metal substrate.
There has been a long-felt need to produce a long lasting feeder for flowing streams of molten inorganic material, such as glass, at operating temperatures higher than currently practiced.
Much of the previous work was directed to forming alloys having superior properties over the unalloyed metals. Feeders in the textile art, or fixed bushing art, have historically been made from alloys of platinum and rhodium. Feeders in the wool art, or rotatable feeders, have been produced employing Cobalt based alloys.
The present invention provides inorganic fiber forming feeders wherein the high temperature strength characteristics of refractory metals are combined with the oxidation resistance of precious metals to produce feeders capable of operating at temperatures higher and longer periods of time than heretofore commercially practicable.
This invention pertains to a laminated wall for a feeder for supplying molten streams of inorganic material to be attenuated into filaments comprising a refractory metal core having an oxygen impervious precious metal sheath intimately bonded thereto by hot isostatic pressing, said wall having at least one orifice extending therethrough adapted to pass said molten material therethrough.
FIG. 1 is a semi-schematic front elevational view of a glass textile type fiber forming system.
FIG. 2 is a semi-schematic front elevational view of a glass wool or rotary fiber forming system.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross sectional view of the mid-flanged eyelet employed in the system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view of a portion of the feeder wall during fabrication having a mid-flanged, hollow, tubular member inserted therethrough.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross sectional view of a feeder wall according to the principles of this invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, feeder 10, which is comprised of containment or sidewalls 12 and a bottom, working or stream defining wall 14, is adapted to provide a plurality of streams of molten inorganic material, such as glass. The streams of molten glass can be attenuated into filaments 16 through the action of winder 26.
As is known in the art, size applicator means 18 is adapted to provide a coating or sizing material to the surface of the glass filaments which advance to gathering shoe or means 20 to be gathered into a strand or bundle 22. Strand 22 is then wound into package 24 upon a collet of winder 26. Thus, FIG. 1 schematically represents a "textile" fiber forming system.
As shown in FIG. 2, rotary system 40 is comprised of a flow means or channel 42 having a body of molten inorganic material 44, such as glass, therein. A stream of molten glass 46 is supplied to rotary feeder or rotor 50 from channel 42, as is known in the art.
Rotor 50, which is adapted to be rotated at high speeds is comprised of a quill 52 and a circumferential fiberizing or working wall 54 having a plurality of passageways 91 therethrough adapted to supply a plurality of streams of molten inorganic material to be fiberized.
In conjunction with rotor 60, a shroud 56 and circumferential blower or fluidic attenuation means 57 are adapted to fluidically assist in the attenuation of the streams of molten material into fibers or filaments 60. A binder material or coating may be applied to fiber 60 by means of binder applicators 58, as is known in the art.
As is shown in the drawings, the fiberization or working walls 14 and 54 of the feeders 10 and 50 should be based upon laminate comprised of a refractory metal core having an oxygen impervious, precious metal sheath intimately bonded thereto by hot isostatic pressing (i.e. HIP) as is disclosed in concurrently filed patent application Ser. No. 200677, filed on Oct. 27, 1980, in the name of Mohinder S. Ehattf, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Particularly, such refractory metals are selected from the group of materials consisting of molybdenum (Mo), columbium (Ob), tungsten (W), rhenium (Re), tantalum (Ta), hafnium (Hf), titanium (Ti), chromium (Or), zirconium (Zr), vanadium (V) and base alloys of such refractory metals. For example, an alloy of molybdenum, titanium and zirconium, known as TZM, has been shown to provide a superior laminated wall for a fiber forming feeder when clad with a precious metal alloy of platinum and rhodium.
Particulary, the precious metals are selected from a group consisting of platinum (Pt), paladium (Pd), irridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), and alloys based on such metals. Included in the platinum alloys are H alloy and J alloy which are alloys of platinum and rhodium of 90%/10% and 75%/25% composition, respectively.
As disclosed in the aforementioned concurrently filed patent application, care should be taken in the preparation of the surfaces of the substrate and precious metal layers to insure a good bond between the core and sheath.
Simply stated, the sheath is formed to closely conform to the exterior of the core, with the surfaces thereof being appropriately cleaned to promote a good metallurgical bond therebetween. The core is inserted or enclosed within the sheath to form a prelaminate unit having at least one edge or portion thereof open to the atmosphere to facilitate "out gasing". Then the prelaminate unit is heated in a vacuum to "out gas" the unit. Subsequent to the out gasing, the open edge or seams of the unit are welded or sealed in a vacuum, whereupon the unit is ready to be hot isostatically pressed to form laminate 69.
As shown in FIG. 3, tubular member 84 is comprised of a sleeve 85 having a projection 86 extending beyond first flange 88. That is, first flange 88 is located intermediate the two ends 93 and 94 of sleeve 85.
Sleeve 85 defines passageway 91 which is or will be adapted to permit molten glass to flow therethrough.
Tubular member 84 may have passageway 91 extending from one end to the other or second end 94 may be closed as shown in FIG. 3. As such, after tubular member 84 is inserted into the laminate 69, according to the principles of this invention second and 94 will then be then machined or opened to expose passageway 91 at the second end 94.
Preferably, hollow tubular element 84 is a precious metal and preferably is substantially identical with the precious metal sheath material, although different but compatible materials may be employed.
As shown in FIG. 4 laminate 69 is comprised of core or substrate 70 and precious metal sheath 72 that has been hot isostatically pressed to intimately bond the sheath 72 to core 70. Sheath 72 is comprised, at least in part, of first plate 80 and second plate 80 intimately bonded to core 70.
A plurality of apertures 71 are formed in laminate 69 to provide a fiber forming feeder having the capability to provide numerous molten streams of glass to be attenuated into filaments. However, only one such aperture 71 and a fragment of laminate 69 are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
Preferably, aperture 71 is formed in laminate 69 subsequent to the HIP'ing process to form laminate 69. However, it is to be understood that aperture 71, which extends through core 70 and sheath 72, may be established by providing a core and sheath having mating holes which can be registered with respect to one another to establish apertures 71.
In practice, tubular member 84 is inserted in aperture 71 such that first flange 88 is brought into contact or abutting engagement with first plate 80 of sheath 72. A portion of sleeve 85 or first end 93 thereof, projects beyond the exterior surface of second plate 81 a distance sufficient to permit second flange 89 to be formed therefrom. Flange 89 is formed so as to firmly contact the exterior surface of second plate 81.
To protect core 70 from oxidization at elevated temperatures, tubular member 84 should be sealed to laminate 69. In one method, first and second flanges 88 and 89 are welded to first and second plates 80 and 81 respectively by any suitable welding technique, such as electron beam or laser welding. Preferably, such welding should take place in a vacuum to remove any gas from between the wall of orifice 71 and tubular member 84.
Preferably, tubular member 84 should be HIP welded or gas pressure bonded to seal tubular member 84 to laminate 69. With proper HIP welding, sleeve 85 is intimately bonded to core 70 and sheath 72, and first and second flanges 88 and 89 are intimately bonded to first and second plates 80 and 81 respectively.
Hollow tubular member 80 can be gas pressure welded or HIP welded to laminate 69, in conformance with the Metals and Ceramics Information Center Report No. MCIC-77-34 published by the Battelle Columbus Laboratories in November, 1977.
With the tubular member 84 inserted in the laminate 69 as shown in FIG. 5, the laminate 69 and all such members 84 are placed inside a sheet metal container having a pressure transmitting media tightly packed between the container and the laminate 69 and in the passageway 91 of each tubular member 84. That is, the pressure transmitting media is tightly packed in all the space within the container not occupied by the laminate 69 and tubular members 84.
The pressure transducing or transmitting media can be of the type known in the art such as powdered metal, beaded glass such as "Vycor," or amorphous silica. Preferably, passageways 91 are snugly fitted with a solid or fully densified rod of the pressure transducing media, metal or silica, which fluidizes or softens upon the application of heat and pressure during the HIP'ing process as should the rest of the transmitting medium, to insure a full application of pressure to sleeve 85 to intimately bond the exterior of sleeve 85 to laminate 69.
Preferably, the pressure transmitting media should not become, so fluid so as to "wick" or flow between the surfaces to be bonded together.
Subsequently, the pressure transmitting media is removed by any suitable means, such as leaching.
It is to be noted, however, that the elements 74 and/or members 84 may be HIP welded to laminate 69 and/or each other if the flanges 78, 79 and 87 are hermetically sealed or welded (e.g. EB welded) to laminate 69, in the argon fluid of a conventional HIP'ing system. That is, the sheet metal box and special pressure transducing media may be dispensed with.
Thus, with HIP welding, flanges 88 and 89 are metallurgically bonded to sheath 72, and sleeve 85 is metallurgically bonded to core 70 and sheath 72 to provide a laminated feeder fiberization wall 14 wherein the tubular member 84 is in good electrical and thermal contact with laminate 69.
As shown in FIG. 5, projection 86 extends outwardly from first plate 80, and generally into the fiber forming zone. While second plate 81 of sheath 72 would normally be placed in contact with a molten glass or inorganic material. Thus, a "tip-type" fiberization wall is produced from a laminate 69 and a unitary member 84.
Since refractory metals are highly creep resistant, or even substantially "creep" free, even at elevated temperatures, fiber forming feeders produced according to the principles of this invention have good "sag" resistance. That is, the fiberization walls should not deform or bow as much as an all precious metal feeder. In some instances "sag" can be substantially eliminated over the life of the feeder. Thus finshield alignments and the like with respect to the fiberization wall and/or tips can remain essentially fixed over the life of the feeder.
Laminated wall 69 having tubular members 84 established therein may be fabricated into a textile fiber feeder having a substantially flat bottom wall or may be fabricated into a cylindrical wall 54 wherein the tubular members extend radially outward from the axis of rotation of rotor 50.
Other systems for producing a feeder fiberization wall having a precious metal liner insert and/or tubular members associated therewith are found in concurrently filed patent applications Ser. No. 200,676, filed on Oct. 27, 1980, in names of Mohinder S. Bhatti and Alfred Marzocchi, Ser. No. 200,650, filed on Oct. 27, 1980, in names of Mohinder S. Bhatti and Alfred Marzocchi Ser. No. 200,651, filed on Oct. 27, 1980, in name of Mohinder S. Bhatti, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
It is apparent that within the scope of the invention, modifications and different arrangements can be made other than as herein disclosed. The present disclosures merely illustrative with the invention comprehending all variations thereof.
The inventions disclosed herein is readily applicable to the glass fiber industry.

Always check your sources.." E=MC^2 Proved?" Not really..

Read this first..
103 years later, Einstein's proven right.
" PARIS (AFP) It's taken more than a century, but Einstein's celebrated formula e=mc2 has finally been corroborated, thanks to a heroic computational effort by French, German and Hungarian physicists.
A brainpower consortium led by Laurent Lellouch of France's Centre for Theoretical Physics, using some of the world's mightiest supercomputers, have set down the calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons, the particles at the nucleus of atoms." I felt quite surprised. If you belong to those wanting everything reduced to 'light' this should be welcome news, right? but I must have missed it..?
As I felt a little suspicious I tried too look up the sources.
Doing so I found this statement, from one of the coauthors.
"Christian Hoelbling, on November 24, 2008 at 4:21 am said:
Its actually worse than that. This news story is horribly misleading. Im one of the authors of the original paper (although I am neither French nor German nor Hungarian, but Austrian, which is telling of the quality of that story) and I can assure you, that we did *NOT* set out to prove E=mc^2 and we did not corroborate it any further than it already is. what we did was calculating the mass of the proton and other elementary particles from the underlying theory with controlled systematic errors, no more, no less."
The lesson is, always try for at least two sources for what you want to believe, then check them both. Publish the one you think can take the most flack. Too many try to prove something by uncritically posting what they find the most sensational story, supporting their 'pet theory'.
(And if you like your 'math'. Please build it up so we can see what you mean. Myself I avoid it, only if I find it very clear will I put math into a statement, that means when I fully understand what it says myself, and that also means explaining it so that you too can understand it. What's the use of it otherwise?
I will not be impressed by someone using math they can't verify, or even understand. If I find I don't understand it you failed. And those guys & gals trying to 'shine' may not know, as most of us here are naturally polite
But ..

I have had this vacuum for a few years now and have never made myself sit down and write a review--until today. I had a Futura that lasted 20 years and was hoping that this was going to be a great replacement...not the case. The machine is very cumbersome, partly due to the "swivel" hose which really doesn't swivel well. Therefore, the hose kinks quite often, almost tripping me up. The power head stopped working after about a year, so I now just use this vacuum for hardwood floors and tile. The problem with that is that the floor brush is too wide. You would think that would make the vacuuming take less time, but it doesn't. There is still just the one opening for the dirt to enter, so you have to keep moving the brush over the same area to make sure the dirt finds its way to the opening. The smaller brush on the Futura was much more efficient. The machine is heavy, awkward to maneuver, and a disappointment. I should have patched up the old Futura or invested in another brand.
Hi Jojo48! We appreciate your feedback concerning the design of the hose and size of the floor brush. We are always looking for ways to improve our products. You shouldn't be having any issues with the power head. If your brushes are not spinning we recommend checking that the belt has not broken or become stretched.
If the belt is fine, there may be an issue with the brush motor that we need to take a look at. The good news is that your WindTunnel Canister carries a 3 year warranty against manufacturing defects. To locate your nearest center to take the unit in for repair visit http://hoover.com/locator/. Hope this helps!
Overall very good. I had an old Hoover Wind Tunnel that I liked very much and this is similar. The 360 degree hose and the rollers on the canister make it easier to maneuver than the old one. Also, it is just as easy if not easier to attach/detach items which is important to me. Power cord is long enough and comparable to my old vacuum. Suction is fine. Attachments are fine, although I miss my old rounded brush (I'm still trying to get used to the new thin angled brush.) The only drawback for me is that on my old vacuum the handle had a power on/off switch (in addition to the foot pedal) but this new version does not allow me to control power on/off with the handle. I have to use the foot switch and I find this awkward as I do turn the vacuum off and on frequently while I move about the house, switching attachments etc. I recommend Hoover consider putting back the power on/off switch on the handle when they redesign this model again in future.
In 35 years I've had 3 Hoover Vacuums. The last was a Futura and died after 20 1/2 years of use. Before that my mother had Hoover Vacuums for 50 years so I never thought about buying anything else. I live in a 2 room apt. in a brownstone that is by subway construction which brings in lots of dirt that you don't get in the suburbs. This vacuum picks up all the dirt from area carpets and hardwood floors on a low suction setting. For years my downstairs neighbor would knock on her ceiling with a broom handle for she could hear me vacuuming BUT NO MORE OF HER COMPLAINTS because this vacuum so quiet I can use it at 10:00 PM. The dirt goes right in the bag and the inside stays clean. I had to learn to use it on low suction for my apt. because it is powerful. Good on doormat for it gets rid of all my neighbors dog hair. I use the stick attachment to get dust out of wrought iron radiator/inside window sills also. I hope it last 20 years too. They use to last even longer at moms. It's not too heavy for me because I work out and can lift heavy but for everyone else it's good exersice to use it.
I bought this vacuum in March of 2011. I have found it to be a strong performer when it works. I am in rural northern NM, and the closest repair facility is close to two hours away. To date, I have had three issues which have required replacing parts which in my experience are poorly engineered and manufactured, but the motor has continued to run strong. Today the motor died and I smelled a burning smell. I will not be loading this vacuum back into my car to take it all the way to the repair facility. The gas to take it in for repair would have paid for a new one, and the really sad part is that we were in Santa Fe just yesterday! I will call customer care on Monday, and it is my hope that they will send me a replacement. If not, they have lost a loyal customer of over 50 years, and I have recommended this vacuum to friends and family who have also had issues with it.
This is my third Hoover canister & this one will be my last because the quality has gone. The bare floor attachment does not clean well--they should have stuck with the old design. I collect more pet hair on the outside of the brush than what gets vacuumed up. I'm constantly vacuuming the brush to get it to clean and the carpet attachment is bulky and awkward to use on bare floors. The hose is another poor design because it is always crimping up. It is difficult to use the off/on & cord release switch with your foot. Because of the curved design the vacuum wants to escape when pressed! Next we come to the non- or only with difficulty retracting wand. [*]. I've had this vacuum less than a year. The machine gets a 1 rating from me because it cleans carpet well but in general it is such a pain to use that I will replace it with another brand soon.
Hello! We are very sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing and we would like to get this problem solved for you right away! Please call in to customer service 1.800.944.9200 Monday-Friday 8am-7pm EST. Thank you!
This vacuum would be close to excellent with a few changes. The suction is indeed very impressive. I do feel like it's getting the rugs clean, but it's hard to drag over them. I use the lowest suction, too. Perhaps a height adjustment would help. When using the stair and furniture attachment, it is very hard to pull the handle out of the wand on mine. It's just as hard to get it back together when done. And speaking of the stair/furniture attachment, it would work much better if the attachment itself was motorized (the Kenmore vacuum cleaner has a motorized one~ works great!). Whenever the tool makes contact with a surface, the brush stops rolling. What's the point? I agree, the hose is quite cumbersome too. And last but definately not least, the BIGGEST issue is definately the on/off switch being on the canister instead of the handle.
I've had this vacuum for a couple of years. The plastic pieces around the hose connections cracked within the first few months. The vacuum still functioned, but I have to be extremely cautious when I use attachments. Last week I was using the power nozzle on my carpet and it just quit running. I thought perhaps the belt had slipped, so I took off the cover only to discover the belt was still in place. I thoroughly cleaned the power nozzle inside and out, I checked the wiring, then put the unit back together. Still not working. I checked your site for a replacement power nozzle and the replacement is $182.41. I paid only $299.00 for the entire system when I made the initial purchase. I bought this unit based on reviews (at the time) from Consumer Reports. I'm thoroughly disappointed with the machine AND Consumer Reports.
This was a major disappointment to me. I have always been a Hoover user. My wife went out and bought a Dyson and I went right back out immediately and bought this Hoover, as i do 90% of the vacuuming. Now I an embarassed. We bought it in Oct. 2010, by Jan 2011 it was in the shop for a faulty switch. Back home and working great until May of 2011 when it went back in the shop for the same faulty switch. Called Hoover and they said it was under warranty and would be fixed immediately. Back home and working fine until September 2011 for (wait for it) switch problems, called Hoover and got the name of an alternative repair shop in hopes that that was the source of the problem. Back home and running great until April 2012 when the switch failed again. No more; I bought a Eureka had enough of Hoover.
Please call our customer care group at 1-800-944-9200, Monday-Friday 8am-7pm EST for assistance.
I have had this vacuum for less than 2 years with no major issue. It worked find the a couple days prior and now for some reason it won't power up or start at all. After reading major of the reviews - I would say it not worth taking in for repairs because its most likely the circuit board with the fuse.
Prior to this major issue of not starting - it worked great removing pet hair from the carpet which was the main reason I purchased it. But I didn't like the attachment provided for the hardwood floor. I had adapted another attachment from a previous vacuum cleaner clean the hardwood floors.
After reading other reviews and it all of sudden for even turn on - I won't recommend this vacuum cleaner
Hi renegade! That sounds like something we'll need to get our hands on. The great news is that your Anniversary WindTunnel Canister actually carries a 3 year warranty against manufacturing defects. We surely hope a repair that shouldn't cost you a thing is worth bringing in for repair. If so, you can locate your nearest service center by visiting: http://hoover.com/locator/. Hope this helps!
I have been a Hoover owner for almost twenty years and just loved that with a little tlc, anyone can keep these vacuums running.
Just had this new vacuum replaced by the store from where it was purchased. It has been a GREAT vacuum but after ten months use, the powered nozzle stopped working and I traced it to the electrical plug where hose connector fits into the bag lid. From routine pulling around, some excess play has developed. I can only get power back to the nozzle if I hold the connector a certain way. This appears to be design related and could become a re-occuring problem. For this reason, I cannot recommend this product.
I suspect that it will happen again and only hope that Hoover will stand by and provide the necessary support.
This is the first time I bought a Hoover product, but I am very disappointed. For the money it worth it should be working perfectly and without even smallest issue. I have both this vacuum for Christmas in 2011, after 11 months of use the power nozzle stopped working. I took to t repair shop and they they traced it to the electrical plug where hose connector fits into the bag , it was no longer fixable. After 2 months of waiting I received a brand new unit as a replacement. I was happy that I received a new vacuum and did not have to worry about it any longer. But again after 16 months of use the same problem occurred, the power nozzle died. I took it to the repair shop and after that said it was exactly the same issue as with the first vacuum. Although now the customer service does not want to replace it with a new unit, they want me to repair it. I have less than a year left on my warranty, so after it runs out and my vacuum brakes again I will have to pay out of my own packet to fix it. because if it happened with two units than even after repairing it, the vacuum will not work as it should. I would like to receive a brand new unit but a different model, do not want to own this Wind Tunnel anymore. I wish I could get my money back and never buy Hoover product again.
Hi Holishn, I pulled your records and have a good idea of what's going on. I sent you a email just now so that we can figure this out together and get you taken care of. We want a chance to make this right. Thanks.
We bought this model hoping it was a new version of the Hoover vacuum we loved to use, which was the M1000 canister(?) Our repairman has been waiting for a month for the main circuit board which also holds the fuse for the floor attachment and it is back-ordered for another month!! Who would design an fuse to be a part of and expensive circuit board anyway? Also the hand windtunnel tool is non-functional and the hard floor tool is poorly designed, so I threw both away and use the old bare floor tool from the original machine that I retrofitted to fit this machine. It could have been a great machine,if it were truely and anniversary edition, built like the original!
I have had my Hoover Wind Tunnel bagged vacuum for many years. I love it so much that when the motor died, I replaced the motor and am still vacuuming with it! It is not this newer version, but one from quite a few years ago.
I've had 2 previous WindTunnel canister vacuums. Each of them lasted a long time & I LOVED them. Bonded with them right away. I use my vacuum daily (I live with a parrot)& was bummed when my vacuum died. I used it for over 10 years so I guess it was time. I'm mad at myself for not taking the time to check this new one out before I purchased it. Since I loved my last 2 I figured it would be just as good if not better. Boy, was I wrong! It may be a bit lighter in weight but it seems to be made of very cheap, easy to break material. The tools (if you want to call them that) are too small & there's no on board storage for the powered hand tool & the hard floor head. My last vacuum had all of those attachments, they were all a reasonable size, they were all stored on board, & they were contructed out of better quality material. The hose was sturdier on the old one & I view the telescoping wand as another thing to wear out/break. Unfortunately, I used the vacuum so I can't return it ~ My bad... Hoover, you cheaped out & let your long time customers down ~ Your bad... This is the last Hoover I'll own. Next time (with the lack of quality this one has, I'm sure it won't be long)I'll buy something of substance that shows some pride in manufactuing, not cheaping out to maximize profits. That path just lost you a long time customer. [$] should get you a lot more than this!
Hi Paula! We are sorry to hear about the trouble you are experiencing with your unit but we would like to work with you to resolve the issue as soon as possible! Please call in to customer service with your unit information for troubleshooting assistance, 1.800.944.9200 Monday-Friday 8am-7pm EST. Have a wonderful day!
This vacuum cleaner loses efficiency over time, very heavy, parts breakdown quickly.
Hi Boby P! With normal maintenance your WindTunnel Canister can be up and running like new. The vacuum appears to be about 3 years old. The belt and bulb are consumable parts. Overtime the belt will stretch out or break preventing the brushes from spinning and the bulb can blow. These items are available here: http://bit.ly/1UjDTSy under the "Parts & Accessories" tab. Hope this helps!
Very disappointed in this machine. It is not cheap, but also not a Miele; but a knock off of the design of the Miele. The power connection for the hose pulls out very easily, the bare floor brush is not effective whatsoever, the tools are way too small and the tiny crevice tool is useless. Also the hose kinks and that is a pain in rear end. This is just a cheap machine and honestly expect more with the hoover name. Did okay with the carpet, but it simply is not holding up. Worth spending a little more and getting something more solid. Very disappointed in this Hoover!!
Thank you for your comments, we appreciate the feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the frustrations you are experiencing and would like for you to call in to customer service with for more assistance. You can reach us at 1.800.944.9200 Monday- Friday 8am-7pm EST.
The first failure was the wand extension mechanism...repaired under warranty.
The second failure was the "board" a couple of months past the warranty...paid to repair...about 35% cost of the unit.
Third failure, about 4 years in...the two little wheels under the power nozzle broke off.
It is such a shame to see what has happened to the Hoover brand. Used to be a Hoover would last 15 years or more. Fewer purchases but much more customer confidence and loyalty. No, Hoover is off my list of well made vac's.
Hi Franco, we want to assure you that providing quality products to our customers is still very important to us. The two small wheels under the nozzle are available here: http://bit.ly/1IkAZDt. Let us know if there is anything else you need, we are happy to help!
This is my third Hoover, I love the vacuum for the suction and light weight, if it would only keep running. the circut boards for the power head last for about two uses. I took it in again today to get it repaired. very disappointed after owning the other machines, they didn't stop running just wanted to update, what a mistake!!
the machines are not inexpensive but very cheaply made, gives Hoover a bad name. I hope they can repair it to last this time. if not the game is over for Hoover with me!!
This purchase has been a big disappointment! After just five months, the power brush on my new Hoover stopped working. Yes, I can and will get it repaired, but I know from long experience that once such basic things start needing to be fixed, a vacuum cleaner such as this will never run as well as it should. My previous Hoover lasted seven years, not exactly a lifetime, but I hoped I would get the same number of years out of this one as well. But five months!??
We are sorry to hear about the issue you have experienced with your vacuum! A few troubleshooting tips: Check and clean the brush roller ends of jammed debris; also, check if the belt is stretched out. It may require replacing. For further assistance, please call our Customer Care Department at 1-800-944-9200, 8am - 7pm, M-F EST or visit a local service dealer. For a list of local service centers visit http://hoover.com/locator/. Thank you!
I have owned Hoover vacuums for a long time, when we purchased a new home I decided a canister would be my preference for all the nooks and cranny's...the tab to hold the hose broke off within the first month! Carpet attachment is made very cheap. When I attempt to use it on the stairs it stops spinning making it impossible to use. The canister is very heavy and difficult to drag around the carpet. But on a good note the machine works great on hard wood floors
We are very sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with your vacuum! We are happy to hear you were pleased with its performance on hard floors. When used and maintained in normal household use, it is warranted against original defects in material and workmanship for 3 years. Local service dealers are listed at http://hoover.com/locator/ for your assistance.
