Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Similarities and Differences: Bottom Line
As one can see, these four models are very similar. They have 12 Amps motor, performance check indicator, 8 feet stretch hoses, 12″ extension wand, crevice tool, 13.5″ wide suction nozzle, standard (mechanical) washable first filter and second HEPA, non-washable filter and they come with a 2-year warranty.
They all use ‘WindTunnel Technology’ cleaning heads which improves suction of various debris on both carpets and hardwoods. Also, they are bagless, using the ‘Dual Cyclonic Air System’ for dirt separation.
The dirt bins are easily cleaned. All four models feature ‘No Scuff Bumper’ to protect walls and furniture from any damage caused by vacuum cleaner during vacuuming.
The UH70105 is the lightest of them all – it has 15.7 lbs, followed by UH70120 (16.5 lbs) and UH70205/70210 (17.8 lbs).
Automatic Cord RewindAll models, except UH70105, have an automatic cord rewind system, which significantly eases the cleaning and storing away the vacuum. Call me spoiled, but a 27 feet power cord must have an automatic rewind system. Note: according to sites like Amazon and similar, all four models have 27 feet long power cords, but according to the official Hoover web site, only the UH70105 model has 27 feet long power cord, while models UH70120, UH70205, and UH70210 models have 25 feet long power cords. 2 feet is not a big difference until one really needs them. |
|
5 Position Carpet Height AdjustmentAll four models have 5 possible positions of cleaning powerheads depending on the floor type and especially on the carpet pile height. This adjustment must be done manually, with hand. Personally, I would like to have only 2-3 possible positions, but with adjustments being possible using the foot. Automatic height adjustment is something too much for this price class (remember, these vacuums are under $150). |
|
Air-Powered Pet Hand ToolAir-Powered Pet Hand Tool uses rubber blades to collect hair and other debris. Strong suction reduces the need to clean blades frequently, but it must be done from time to time. Only the UH70210 model comes with an Air-Powered Pet Hand Tool, while other models come with Air Powered Hand Tool. Also, only UH70210 model comes with Pet Upholstery Brush, while other models come with Upholstery/Dusting Brush. So, if you really have issues with hair, your obvious choice should be the UH70210 model. As you know, Hoover makes some of the best upholstery vacuum cleaners on the market, such as the case with another great model – the Hoover FH11300PC Spotless Portable Carpet & Upholstery Spot Cleaner. |

Air FiltrationWhat Else Should You Know About the Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Bagless Upright Vacuums?
Both the Hoover UH70205 and the UH70210 feature headlights, which can be very helpful in spotting the dirt in front of the vacuums, especially on hard, flat surfaces or spotting the unwanted objects in front of the vacuums in low-light conditions (under furniture, in corners and similar).
All models are easily maneuverable around the objects due to soft wheels, not too wide nozzle, acceptable weight, and 2D steering. They are not as maneuverable as models with 3D steering, but those models usually cost more or lack some features that are available in these models.
Hoover UH70120 vs. Hoover UH70210
Considering all this, the UH70105 is a good upright vacuum cleaner, but it lacks an automatic rewind mechanism. After cleaning the house, who really wants to waste time on rewinding the power cord manually? All 27 feet of the cord? Not me 🙂
Folding handle is a nice thing, but personally not enough to justify 1.3 lbs (~0.6 kg) increase in weight between UH70120 and UH70205/70210 models. On the other hand, UH70205/70210 models have Suction Only Mode Pedal which is very useful on sensitive floors, preventing their damage. However, the brush roll is gentle enough for most of the floors found in common households, so unless you really need it, Suction Only Mode Pedal is not something a vacuum cleaner absolutely must-have.
Since UH70210 features cleaning tools optimized for pet hair and other hard to pick debris, it is recommended model over the UH70205 model.
In the end, one must ask a question…
Hoover UH70120 or Hoover UH70210? Which is Better?
Here are the main Hoover UH70120 and Hoover UH70210 differences: the UH70210 has a folding handle, Suction Only Mode Pedal, headlights, and cleaning tools more optimized for pet hair. And it usually costs some $15-$20 more than the Hoover UH70120 model. If you recognized the product in the picture above, you know we have a winner!
The Hoover UH70210 often can be found on a sale, for the same (or almost the same) price as the UH70120 model. Therefore, my vote goes to ‘Hoover T-Series WindTunnel Pet Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum UH70210‘.

Having her own dilemmas on how to pick the best vacuum cleaner for her large family (with a handful of furry four-legged members as well), Kathryn decided to help others in the same situation. After all, vacuum cleaners are critical to a healthy lifestyle and people have a hard time choosing the best one for their needs.
