Our Verdict

Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind

Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged

The Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind and Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged are fairly evenly matched, but you may prefer one over the other depending on your own needs. The Rewind has a bagless design that incurs virtually no recurring costs and performs similarly on carpeted floors. On the other hand, the Tempo Bagged is lighter, more maneuverable, and better-built, with superior cleaning performance on bare floors.
