This genuine Hoover agitator restores brush action to WindTunnel self-propelled upright vacuums that use a V-belt drive, including the U6425 family. When carpets stop looking freshly groomed or the brushroll bristles are worn flat, replacing the agitator brings back the deep-agitation pickup these commercial and residential uprights are known for.
Use cases
Replace the agitator when brush performance drops off:
- Restoring groom lines and deep pickup on a WindTunnel self-propelled upright
- Swapping a brushroll with worn, flattened, or missing bristles
- Routine maintenance on high-use vacuums in facilities and rentals
- Rebuilding a used Hoover WindTunnel before returning it to service

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need a new agitator?
If the bristles are worn flat, the brushroll no longer grooms the carpet, or pickup has dropped noticeably, the agitator is likely worn and due for replacement.
Does this use a V-belt or a flat belt?
This agitator is for the V-belt drive configuration. WindTunnel self-propelled models use a 034 V-belt to drive the brushroll, which is sold separately if yours is also worn.
Which models does it fit?
It fits Hoover WindTunnel self-propelled uprights in the U6425 family and related models. Confirm your model number before ordering.
Should I replace the belt at the same time?
It is good practice. A stretched or glazed V-belt reduces brush speed, so replacing the belt with the agitator restores full performance.
