These style of Windtunnel uprights I just absolutely love. They weren’t bad vacuums, certainly are worse machines. I use mine with the HEPA bags, really helps them breathe better.
Nice video as always.. I had a similar machine to this years ago.. I remember how the wheel carriage kept falling off.. supported by cheap plastic ends. Anyways..It would be cool to see you do a video/demo on a Riccar/Simplicity Radiance/Synergy sometime. It's the only one you haven't covered yet (not counting synchrony) as far as all other Tacony uprights are considered. I heard that the Synergy is a "sealed system" and would be cool to see a particle count test on it to verify.
Have used a Tempo for 15/16 yrs, got through a few belts but the motor / suction is still very good. My moan is the pivot for the adjustable height plate at the opposite end of the two small front wheels. Just broke again at the small plastic spigot (weak). Ah well not bad for it's age I guess.
Can you do another Riccar or simplicity. I have had the Riccar r40p for almost a year now and it has strong agitation and suction love it. Can you tell me what the red carpet free service is? Thanks, I alway clean out the vacuum and I've waxed the abs plastic a few times too lol. Just curious what they will do.
Where can I get one of those air particle testers? Also, yes you should do more particle testing. I just now watched your video as I have one of those “$89“ Walmart Widepath Tempo Model U5140- 900s, that I got for zero dollars at the “Dumpster Emporium”. It “runs and drives”, nothing special, like you said. But thanks to you, now I know about the HEPA filter. All I did is clean it out a little bit, put electrical tape patches on the cord, about to do a UA-cam vacuum video test, and then give it for free over next-door or offer up. If no takers, then off to the Goodwill it goes for scrap. Goodwill can’t sell anything with a bad cord, even if it is electrically taped up. Wish me luck.
@@PerformanceReviews hey buddy I need help ASAP, I brought a replacement switch and it has a black and yellow wire, but the vacuum has red and light pink wires, what wire goes where
I have this exact vacuum and it is about 6 months old. I love this vacuum. My belt broke and I replaced it. No suction from the bottom. There is suction from the hose...but for some reason there is no suction from the bottom for the carpeting.; I am so mad. i cannot figure it out. Grrrrrr
So let me ask a question okay I heard that Eureka was now purchased by that t i c company or wherever the hell that Japan shouldn't company is so what about a sanitaire commercial upright who owns those because I have the blue series with the metal Hood. And I would just like to know if parts are still going to be readily available for those. And my other question that I have is how is this Japanese Chinese based company able to purchase all of these different companies I thought there was a law against monopolies on a certain brand of product.
Eureka and Sanitaire were formerly divisions of the Electrolux Group of Sweden (not to be confused with Electrolux USA, which was started by the Swedish parent but sold to Consolidated Grocers in 1969 and was a separate company from then on). In 2018 the Electrolux Group sold Eureka off to the Midea Group, a big Chinese owned home appliance conglomerate who also owns GE home appliances in the US. Electrolux Group in the US owns Frigidaire, Tappan, Gibson and Westinghouse brands of home appliances. They were closing a deal to buy GE appliances in the US when the US Justice Department sued to stop the merger to prevent them from becoming an oligopoly with only Whirlpool as competition. The courts ruled against Electrolux Group and the merger was stopped. GE still wanted to shed its appliance business and ended up selling to Midea Group. In 2019 the Electrolux Group sold Sanitaire to Bissell. There are some funny stories about how Sanitaire employees, who considered Bissell their arch enemy, refused to cooperate with the merger and made it rough for Bissell. TTI owns Hoover in the US, Oreck, Dirt Devil, Royal (though they are no longer made TTI owns the brand name), Rigid and Ryobi. In Europe, Hoover's former European operations were bought by Candy Group of Italy, which in turn was bought by Midea Group of China. So you have arch rival appliance firms from China, TTI and Midea Group, owning the Hoover brand in the US and Europe respectively, and no common products between them. But they use the same logos!
Enjoyed your video. How/where can I find the brush roller you used? Is there a model number? Is it available through Patreon.com? Did learn that TTI also owns Hoover.
Tylon Barnes if we're talking about a Hoover u6430 they made many different Motors all of which were to be replaced as a whole unit. When Maytag bought Hoover that's when Motors became replace is a complete assembly with the exception of a "guardsman" and" convertible"which makes sense because it usually takes more time and money to rebuild a motor than it does to buy new one .
+Tylon Barnes well it's hard to say without an exact model number. But if you're talking about a U64xx series of machines that went through a lot of different motor changes typically are not designed to be cleaned out also not worth once time to open up to that point.
+Brian Burke HEPA bags are the best you're going to get on this unit. You also have to remember that Hoover does not make sealed vacuums for the part so it's kind of a mood point when 1/2 of the air can move past the filters
Thanks. I have two of these vacuums that I bought in 2006 and 2008. There are so many areas where Hoover cut corners. No filter on the side, no headlight, no filter indicator on the front. I have to say the suction is off the charts imo.
And I was considering on buying this vacuum used for $20.00, now I'll pass to something else. Always considered a Riccar but if their technology is that like it was on their sewing machines that's another failure.
Nothing about that vacuum pays anybody's bills. Including Maytag/Hoover who went bankrupt during this period. The bills get paid by new vacuum sales repairs are nothing more than a courtesy offered to customers.
These style of Windtunnel uprights I just absolutely love. They weren’t bad vacuums, certainly are worse machines. I use mine with the HEPA bags, really helps them breathe better.
I have had my Tempo for over 10 years. Only recently did I have to replace the brush, and it's good as new.
Great video I was able to put the belt on my self after watching this. Saved me time and money
Nice strip down. Those WindTunnel/Temp style machines are very nice reliable machines for the time.
Great video as always! Do you ever get Panasonic uprights in? Like the performance plus models or jet flow?
That looks like our hoover junior and senior bearings from the 70s and 80s! So out of date on a modern machine! Thanks for the video
How do you replace the on and off switch on it because I got one that is short circuiting the power switch
Nice video as always.. I had a similar machine to this years ago.. I remember how the wheel carriage kept falling off.. supported by cheap plastic ends.

You can get that part easily.
@@AwesomeVacuums yes, I know but instead of keep on buying , I've made my own metal repair, should last much longer. "Hoover 😠"
can you do a particle counter test with a dyson vacuum cleaner?
what was the white thing used to clean the roller where the belt melted to it?
That was a commutator stone
Can you do another Riccar or simplicity. I have had the Riccar r40p for almost a year now and it has strong agitation and suction love it. Can you tell me what the red carpet free service is?

Until the height adjustment handle fell off, my Tempo was working great. I hope to be able to screw it back on and be back in business!
Thanks for the info.Thank for the informative video enjoy your videos. Hopefully you can do some older Hoover’s & Kirby’s.
I noticed there are gaskets on the bag cover. Does that make any difference in performance. My new Dirt Devil Breeze Turbo does not have any seal.
If you want performance you'll need to look to other manufacturers like Miele /Sebo
Does self propelled windtunnels come in for repair?

Dude I use "Type U" bag from dirt devil carpet cleaner and it works. I'm out of stock of type y bag.
That doesn't meet the filtration & airflow specifications of the Y bag.
Exactly, I'm ordering now at Ebay about Type Y bag I'm replacing it asap when I get it.
Better than something from bissell
My height adjustment slider came off track. Is that an easy fix?
It's a two piece that snap together I would say so. You can always bring it to your local vacuum shop
@@PerformanceReviews thank you

Has anyone ever brought a Eureka Mighty Mite in for service?
Thank you now I know what windtunnel means
Thank you for this video!
I have some Hoover’s when they were there own company at one point in time and think 🤔 that Kirby is still there own independent company
Enjoyed your video. How/where can I find the brush roller you used? Is there a model number? Is it available through Patreon.com? Did learn that TTI also owns Hoover.
+Sans Serif Go to your local vacuum store and they will have one.
15.35 this is why I always run hepa cloth bags
It always helps the mechine last longer as well
how do you rebuild older hoover windtunnel motors?
+Tylon Barnes Hoover WindTunnel Motors are designed to be replaced as a whole

Performance Reviews the Hoover U6400 series
Performance Reviews Not the tti motor but the Maytag motor
Can you replace the two cheap filters with something better, maybe even HEPA?
+Brian Burke HEPA bags are the best you're going to get on this unit. You also have to remember that Hoover does not make sealed vacuums for the part so it's kind of a mood point when 1/2 of the air can move past the filters

My Hoover Tempo died today. Had it since ‘07. The motor failed. I smelled smoke 😂 so sad
My grandma has the same vacuum
And I was considering on buying this vacuum used for $20.00, now I'll pass to something else. Always considered a Riccar but if their technology is that like it was on their sewing machines that's another failure.
Please service a Eureka the boss superlite
Jackson Noble Those are not worth fixing they belong in the trash. They suck
Yeah they're just crap. They're very loud, and they don't clean well at all. They're basically glorified stick vacs.
i had one of these i never liked it it was way to loud lol
lol nice one were did you come up with the insult your mom
Sorry, your incessant knocking of something that pays your bills is very unprofessional.
