Our Verdict
Sanitaire PROFESSIONAL Upright
Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged
The Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged is a better overall vacuum than the Sanitaire PROFESSIONAL Upright. The Hoover is better built, comes with a broader selection of tools, and delivers better cleaning performance on bare floors and high-pile carpets. It's also easier to maneuver, despite being a little heavier. Meanwhile, the Sanitaire clears lightly more coarse sand-like debris on low-pile carpets.
