Our Verdict
Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind
Sanitaire PROFESSIONAL Upright
The Hoover WindTunnel 2 Whole House Rewind is a better upright vacuum than the Sanitaire PROFESSIONAL Upright. The Hoover is a better-built vacuum with a bagless design. It has virtually no recurring costs and comes with more tools and brushes. It also offers better performance on bare floors and high-pile carpets. However, the Sanitaire performs better on low-pile carpets.
