The Hoover WindTunnel 3 is great for allergy sufferers

This Hoover is tough on dust and allergens.

The ; was a top performer with fine particles in carpet and features a HEPA filter, making it an excellent option for those with asthma or allergies.

It wasn't a showstopper on hard floors. It's also a heavy vacuum cleaner, so it wouldn't be the best option for people looking for a lightweight model.

If you have primarily carpets in your home and want a sub-$200 vacuum cleaner that can help with your allergies and get pet hair and fine particles out of your carpets, the Hoover would make a good addition to your cleaning lineup.
