Hoover Wind Tunnel Vacuum Review

I bought this Hoover wind tnnel cyclonic vacuum, its red and fairly light. I bought this vacuum at target for nearly $200. I choose this particular vacuum becuase target was running a sale before Christmas that if you bought this vacuum you got a $50 gift card for Target. I also read reviews on amazon and other websites. I knew this vacuum was not the highest rated of all, but it was the highest rated in its price range. I do daycare and have to vacuum several times a day. I vacuum the bare floors and throw rugs and also regular carpet. I do put alot of use on the vacuums I use, I don't like to pick up every little thing off of the carpets. I do vacuum up a lot of things that might comprimise the machine. But I thought for the price of this vacuum that it would be what I needed. It worked fantastic at first, I absolutly loved it, I love that it is red and I like how the canister comes out and you can empty it with one hand. I dislike how the funnel filter like thing has small holes that dust and debree get caught in it very easily. Its hard to get the stuff out of the holes. So it worked great at first then as time went on it stopped having enough suction to pick up much of anything. The suction just seemed to slowly cut off, I took the vacuum apart as much as I could and washed all the parts off, icluding the funnel filter looking thing. It worked better for awhile but again slowly lost suction. I have sence given up and replaced it with another brand.
