does not live up to video
video showed it picking up dry coffee grounds without being over them but the vac would not pickup litter no matter how many times it passed over it

Perfect for a house with all types of flooring!
Our house has mostly hardwood with carpet and tile in a few rooms. This stick vac makes it so easy to do the entire house which I can do with one vacuum and one battery charge. The brush roll on/off button is perfect! The hand vac is SO powerful, and I love the built in extender! I am so happy with this purchase!

Love this Vacuum
This may cost more than some others but it is light weight and very powerful - even on plush carpet with cat hair. And it is easy to clean.

Best cordless I ever used!
Hoover got it right on this one! Out of the box it was easy to put together. I love the batteries being exchangeable. Has plenty of power and a big plus being able to turn the brush off for hard surfaces. Good looking unit too.

disappointed, limited uses
Generally disappointed. Floor Vacuum suction is weaker than I need. Picks up things like dirt/dust. But cannot pick up big pieces of dirt or anything heavy in a deep grout gap between ceramic floor tiles. For example it cannot pick up a penny on the floor. Also on occasion if you don't realize the canister has filled up it or the throat clogs it blows dust out the back end all over your floor (my wife refuses to use it again because of this). I made the mistake of trying to pickup fur the dog had shed - it clogged up quickly and you must use you fingers to clear the suction tube which is VERY small in diameter (like the size of a quarter) - so dont suck up anything big or fluffy. Is also louder than I expected from an electric vac. Face is narrower than a regular vac so you must make maybe 50% more passes to cover an area. It is however light and easy to move around and lift and not having a cord is great. Would be OK for light duty pickups of spills of lighter weight/smaller pieces of material - like coffee grounds.

Does not live up to the ratings
I purchased this item after reading the rave reviews about the suction power. This handheld vacuum is mediocre at best - with the high price I had higher expectations. I could have bought a one and gotten the same performance. Also, the brush attachment is pathetic and will not stay extended.

Excellent product, except for two......
Vacuum was as described and very well designed except for two issues.
1) The intake head (for dirt/debris) is too small. It is only about 2" wide. Should be 4"
2) The dirt/debris cannister is too difficult to take off and empty and then put back on.
I would still purchase again, and do think it is a very good HandVac. Just these two issues keept it from being great/fantastic!

Great little vacuum!
I love my Hoover. I bought a Dyson hand held vacuum awhile back. The battery last 5 minutes if you're lucky. This Hoover comes with a lithium battery and last a whole lot longer. I highly recommend. Easy to use and easy to empty. A complement to your upright LINX Cordless sweeper.

Excellent
This vacuum cleaner is powerful, easy to clean and easy to recharge by taking the battery out and recharge, instead of hooking the whole vacuum cleaner up. There is an indicator on the vacuum cleaner to show what the status of the battery is. In one word, excellent!

OK, but not great
I got this little vac for picking up hair and bits of crud on our new white laminate flooring in the living & dining rooms. I was also hoping to use it for vacuuming the stairs and sofa, and for vacuuming under furniture. I've had it for a month now, so I'll give you my two cents.

Suction is just ok, poor compared to a regular vacuum, but you can't expect much from a handheld, I guess. I was surprised at how loud it is, because no one else mentioned that in a review. The noise is very irritating. The charge lasts 15 minutes as promised, which I find to be adequate for its intended use; I couldn't put up with the noise for longer than 15 minutes anyway. A full charge only takes an hour or two.

It works pretty good for vacuuming stuff off of the floor or hardwood stairs. It does not have enough suction to vacuum much of anything from the sofa fabric and I haven't bothered to try vacuuming car seats because I know it would never work.

The unit has a fairly sizable diameter and the nozzle slants downward toward the front. This unfortunate design means that the vacuum can't be used to reach more than a few inches under furniture, which is a real drawback.

The dirt cup gets full quickly, but can be emptied easily. I shake the filter and tap it over the garbage can and that seems to work ok.

There is a little "crevice tool" that can swing up over the nozzle which basically just gives you a smaller nozzle opening. Then there is a little bristle brush that extends from the crevice tool. The brush slides back just as soon as it comes in contact with anything, so it is worthless unless you duct tape it in place.

The vacuum is more convenient than a dust pan and whisk broom because of its slightly longer reach, because I can use it one-handed, and because I don't have to empty it into the trash immediately like a dust pan. And unlike a whisk broom, it doesn't send dust or hair airborne and I don't struggle to get the last bit of dirt of the floor. It is obviously much more convenient than getting out a full size vacuum. That convenience factor is really the saving grace of this vacuum and I do find that I use about once per day on average and my floor stays cleaner because of it. But it is not nearly as useful or versatile as it could have been with a little more attention to design, so I only rate it 3 stars.

LOVING IT!!
This is the coolest vacuum. I have had others that spewed stuff around requiring several swipes to get the mess, but this vacuum get sit the first time every time. I have not had it long, so I cannot speak on how it holds up over time. But sure loving it now. Easy to roll. Easy to empty. Gets the cat hair. So cool.

don't use on sawdust
I was about to post another scathing review of this, as it stopped sucking up much of anything (actually started blowing stuff back out!) with less than a year of use. I had found and emptied the clog in the vertical tube leading into the canister, with no improvement.

Today, I discovered a major clog in the lower part of the vacuum, which consisted mostly of sawdust from various projects I've done. When I managed to get that cleaned out, it worked like new.

So, truly use it for regular, light cleaning, not for anything like a floor covered in sawdust. Or, if you do, check the lower part of the vacuum periodically for clogs. It wasn't that hard to clean out.

worth every penny
Bought this vacuum because I have mostly wood floors in my home with a few carpets. Thought it would do an ok job on the carpeting but it works much better than I expected. Easy to empty dust canister, no bags to buy or change. Goes easily from floor to carpet with a touch of a button. Picks up the cat hair that my big canister vac would miss. Battery indicator light lets me know how much power is left when the vacuum is on. Doesn't lose power as battery gets low. Also very easy to maneuver and because of its size and weight, I can use it on my carpted stairs. Love this vacuum, thought is was a little pricey, but worth the extra money.

Perfect Little Vaccum
This vaccum is so easy to use and very light. I use it daily. I think it works better than the big vac. Battery life is fine - lasts long enough to get the job done. Fast recharge time. With two teenage boys and a dog this is a great product.

Handy little helper
I bought this vacuum after reading many reviews. I knew to expect a 15-20 minute battery life. I wanted something to clean our hard floors and to touch up the carpet. I LOVE IT!! It is so convenient. I have never owned a cordless vacuum, so I have nothing to compare it to, except a broom and dustpan. It is so much more convenient than a broom, or a little vacuum with a cord. I have a baby and 2 dogs... constant messes. I whip this thing out and have the mess cleaned up in 2 minutes. The vacuum gets dog hair, crumbs, and dust. My corded all-use vacuum is needing to be replaced. I used it then followed up with this vacuum on carpet in the bedroom. This vacuum picked up so much dog hair and dust that my big vacuum left behind. So this vacuum does have some power, I'm just assuming that for carpet, I will require a heavy-duty, corded vacuum to remove all the dog hair and dander. That being said, Hoover has made a WONDERFUL product for everyday cleaning!! Highly recommend!!
