What kind of pressure were you putting on a plastic peg to make it snap off? It's plastic! Take it easy! I feel like people are giving this vacuum a bad name because of their own inability to to treat appliances with care.Ĭord Rewind System Broke - 'When the little peg snaps off' Take one look at the rewind system. I purchased this vacuum one month ago and I would like to address some of the complaints that other reviewers have made. I should mention, that it seemed ok in the store when the unit wasn't running, The hose spring is so strong that it pulls the unit around excessively, and limits reach to the ceiling (our low 7' ceilings, I might add), even with the extension tube and crevice tool both attached. I should point out that I am a 200+ pound male capable of lifting an 80 lbs bag of concrete no problem. This makes using the tool kit and hose impractical for significant work.

I found the hose to be shorter and require too much effort to keep extended. Unfortunately, apparently due to the incorporation of the fold down handle, the hose design differs from the WTR. It does a fine job of picking up dirt from the middle of the room, and is reasonably quiet on bare floor. The WTP has the switch to turn off the roller brush for bare floors and when using the accessory hose. The tool kit and accessory hose were great, with plenty of reach and easy to use. The WTR performed very well on the carpet and was quiet. I judged the WTR model to be unsuitable for wood floors, and poorly suited for tile. Unfortunately the WTR has no switch to turn off the roller brush and it seemed to be scouring the finish on my wood floor (no obvious damage, but I only ran it very briefly as this seemed to be a forceful and rapid action), and was very noisy on bare floors. I will refer to Hoovers as WTR for the WindTunnel Rewind UH70120, and WTP for this model, the Pet Rewind.īoth models pick up well on bare floor. Our floors are 100% hardwood and tile, with three area rugs and a couple of doormats. I picked up the Hoover WindTunnel Rewind first, returned it and got this model.
