Hoover seems to be expanding it's Dyson clones, and phasing out the filter in the dustbin models. In addition to getting the Dyson like dirt collection system with washable filters, you get the Hoover Windtunnel and industry gold standard brush roll. the price is considerably cheaper than a comparable Dyson model. Not sure about all versions, but the pet version offers a carbon filter. The EZ belt change system sounds like a needed improvement over the old plastic tabs that broke after several belt changes. At Best Buy, this vacuum is offered as one of their appliance package deals if you need a new washer, dryer, and vacuum with a package discount.
Will be interesting to see how this vacuum does in CR tests.
Any comments from any users of this vacuum? I haven't had a chance to test one out in person yet.
