Convenience and Powerful Suction
5 Stars
Convenience and Powerful Suction
This vacuum is awesome. It is so convenient to use that I vacuum my living room and kitchen every single day now, sometimes more than once. My old vacuum was bulky and miserable, so I vacuumed less frequently and enjoyed it far less. This one is so easy to get out and carry around the house that my house stays much cleaner on a day to day basis. It's easy to locate and get rid of a clog too as I discovered when I accidentally sucked up a piece of a wrapper from one of my kids' snacks.The suction is great and I have to be careful when I would normally vacuum up to something (like a bean bag) and kind of push it out of the way to vacuum under it. This vacuum will suck it up if I don't watch it. It's also great in corners and against walls. When it was clogged, I didn't even notice until I realized that there was nothing in the canister because it continued to suck up a whole bunch of raisins and cereal, and never spit any of it back out. Once I fixed the clog, I turned it on and everything that had been backed up went right into the canister and nearly filled it, but there wasn't any big mess to deal with as there often is when unclogging a vacuum.I use it on the stairs by just holding it in the upright position and walking up the steps, vacuuming one at a time in front of me as I go. It's light and works wonderfully on my short carpets and hard floors, and it picks up pet hair really well too. The battery also lasts a long time, so I can vacuum my whole living room, kitchen, stairs, and four bedrooms on the high setting on one charge, or I can just do the kitchen and living room two or three times on one charge.I really like that I don't have to worry about leaving the battery on the charger for too long, and I like the way that the vacuum swivels and gets into difficult areas easily, and I like where the switch is located in a convenient place. It's easy to use, easy to empty, easy to clean and easy to fix. To sum up, this is the best vacuum I've ever owned, and I love it. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid performer
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2012
Verified Purchase
I have had this unit for about a month, and I have been very favorably impressed. It has worked very well for cleaning my 1100 sq ft house.

We have mostly hardwood floors with a few throw rugs and one very-deep pile shag rug. With 5 people and a yellow lab, we get lots of dirt and dog hair. The Hoover unit has done great with all of the cleaning--even the thick shag rug.

I like that it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. The suction is generally adequate, and is able to draw debris from the edges well. The rotating brush works well for carpets, and it doesn't generally suck up throw rugs into itself like more powerful vacuums tend to. The lithium battery lasts sufficiently long--it doesn't always allow me to complete the whole house, but it is good enough. If I can't complete things all at once, it does not seem bothersome to just grab the unit later after a recharge and finish things off.

In fact, that is what I like best about the product; it is so painless to use that it never feels like a big deal to just grab it and do some cleaning. With my regular vacuum, it feels more like a commitment and a hassle to bring it out.

General operation is fine--switches are well placed and easy to use. Battery charging (with a separate charger and batteries that snap in and out of the unit) is convenient--better, I suspect, than the approach used by other rechargeable products of having the vacuum itself have to go to the charger. The dirt cup fills up pretty quickly with dog hair, so I have to empty it 2 or 3 times when cleaning the whole house, but the process is easy and tidy and (for some reason) strangely satisfying.

I do have some concerns about the longevity of the product. It is mostly plastic, and it doesn't necessarily feel like it will be tough enough to last for years of banging around. But I have no reason so far to complain about its durability. I do like having lithium batteries, as they hold much more power and are likely to last much longer than the ni-cads or nmih batteries in some other units.

There are a couple of maintenance items that it is important to keep up with. I think a unit like this is more sensitive to maintenance than bigger units, because it doesn't have the luxury of giant, overpowered motors to overcome the results of our inattention.

First, you need to wash out the little foam filter at the top of the dirt cup about every 3rd time you empty it, or you will lose suction. It is quite easy to do, but also easy to forget.

Second, I found that the rotating brush bar on mine was losing effectiveness because of hairs and strings getting wrapped around it. Cutting those free with a knife or scissors improved the brush action considerably.

Overall I am very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy owner for over 2 years!
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2013

I have officially owned this vacuum for over 2 years now. I bought this shortly after moving into a new house that had large expansive bare floors w/ one area rug to clean. It worked wonderfully from day one! The suction works great and the rotating brush works wonders on an area rug to "pick up" smaller debris that stick to carpet fibers. I also had carpet in my upstairs that was a much larger carpet (almost shag) fiber, and no it didn't work quite as well on this carpet so keeping the big vacuum is a must for these. I did not have a dog that sheds, so I can not comment on it's ability to collect and stand up to pet hair. I can say I have 3 daughters w/ very long hair, and it holds up very well to this! I have since moved overseas to Italy, and even w/ the charger now having to be plugged into a transformer to convert the voltage to the 110 American specification, the charger still works like new even w/ the difference in hz power (America has a 60 hz frequency to the European 50 hz frequency which basically is how fast the power is supplied. Transformers can not convert this frequency which usually results in burned out American electronics even when using transformers) and have been here for over a year and a half! If the difference in hertz finally burns out my charger, I will happily spend the money to purchase another charger! The floors in Italy are all tile and/or wood and I still have the same area rug to clean. Again, wonders! I will list a few things to keep in mind if ordering this...

-The battery life is 20 minutes give or take (I usually always use the rotating brush and have very seldom, if ever, turned this feature off). I currently have 3 batteries (also bought through Amazon) which I did not intend on getting in the first place. Due to children putting them into chargers incorrectly and not realizing they weren't being charged "right" I thought I had bad batteries. However, all 3 batteries are still in perfect working/charging order. It is also really nice to have batteries on standby to slip in when a charge goes down ;)

-Once the blue LED on the charger starts flashing, take it off the charger! That is telling you it is fully charged and these batteries can be overcharged (which will reduce the battery life over time w/ the charge memory this creates)! I am ashamed to say that I did not realize this feature before moving overseas and probably overcharged and/or undercharged quite frequently, a few times being overnight charges, trying to stick to the 3 hour recharge rule . However, again, all 3 of my batteries including the original still work perfectly fine, so it does not appear that we have done much "damage" to these batteries.

-Be careful when storing the vacuum! While this is a very sturdy great vacuum, it is not impervious to falls. Because of the plastic components of this vac, they can crack and damage easily when falling over to the floor. After 2 years, we have finally officially broke the long handle that is connected to the vac. It is currently secured w/ duct tape (ha ha), but still works like new! I am about to order another just so I can have a "cosmetically" better vac ;)

-I read in another review someone cutting a dryer sheet and placing it over the foam filter to "easily" clean the filter by peeling away and tossing. I have not tried this, but will definitely start right away! If nothing else, it should release a nice "clean" smell while vacuuming and I am all for this!! The filter as-is works great and is very easy to clean, so it is not necessary. I have not needed to replace this filter in the over 2 years of ownership.

-Frequently clean out the vac! While this thing is great at picking up everything, and the collection container is easily accessible and easily emptied, the vac itself can get clogged just like any other vacuum. However, the bottom of the vac easily detaches w/ a nifty button push, so you can clear the pathway from the brush to the collection container from time to time. I recommend having an old wire hanger unbent on standby to help in this task. After clearing, it once again is like new. The brush also needs a little TLC to cut away hair and string that wrap around and prevent the brushes from working correctly, LIKE EVERY OTHER VACUUM IN EXISTENCE!.

-Keep in mind this is not a full fledged powered vacuum. Don't expect wonders on carpets. It is more designed as a "sweeper" to sweep visible debris away. Yes it has suction, but this is primarily to pull up the large debris the brush loosens to collect away. This works great on short fibered carpets to "look cleaner", but for a deep down clean, you will want to use a regular powerful vacuum.

I really have no cons for this machine. I love it! Maybe the durability of the plastic components to stand up to abuse could be improved, but as I stated it has taken me over 2 years to cause a major break (and I have 4 children!). Even w/ the major break, the machine still performs great. So while I do currently own a broken handled vacuum sweeper, I am happily on Amazon to order another of the very same vac!

1.0 out of 5 stars needs adapter
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2021

Looks like it could be good, but what it doesn't say is that it comes with a flat-two pin plug, not something suitable for UK. Have tried two adapters so far, neither of which works, but I'm sure I'll come up with something sooner or later. For moment - cannot charge it. If it had said - not suitable for UK, or adapter supplied, or adapter needed (and give specs) that would be better. I think once I've got it working it will be good and will do another review then (yes, could cut plug off and fix to UK type, but would invalidate warranty so prefer not to do that yet!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoover Finally Masters Cordless Vacs
Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2011
Verified Purchase
We've only had this Hoover Cordless vac for about a month so this review may change with time. But so far, I must say this is a great cordless vacuum. And I've had about 4 or 5 over the last few years searching for something that actually functions. Best of all, lots of staying power. Runs for about 20 minutes or so at full suction - enough for us to do almost the entire 1st floor. Battery recharges in a couple of hours so that you can do the rest of the house later in the day. I don't see a need for buying a second battery when it charges so quickly. Cannister empties very easily with just a push of a button. Cannister also comes apart for more thorough cleaning and is easy as well. It doesn't handle as well as the Swiffer vac we had to get rid of (it ran for about 4 minutes after a 24 hour charge) but is pretty good. The switch for beater bar is very handy to go from carpet to bare floor and the indicator lights tell you exactly how much charge you have left. And the beater bar seems to pick up everything that it comes across. If, in a year it still runs for 20 minutes on a charge, I'll change this review to 10 stars! I'd love to buy the cordless hand vac that uses the same battery but it doesn't seem to be available in Canada.

ONE YEAR LATER and this vac is working just as good as new. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

18 MONTHS LATER and I'm still reasonably pleased. However, the battery indicator light seems to be a bit wonky. Goes to Level 2 immediately after start-up even tho I know it's fully charged. And gets to the flashing stage faster than it use to. But I think it still lasts as long as it did when new. Can't say for sure but I've never run out of a charge for the area I have to vac.

27 MONTHS LATER and I still recommend this product. Battery Life is still reasonable however the indicator light no longer functions properly. It starts flashing immediately even though I know that the battery is fully charged. I can live with this. Oh, I use this vac almost every day for 10 to 15 minutes.

33 MONTHS AFTER ORIGINAL PURCHASE: Well, I finally broke down and bought a new battery and, guess what?, my "malfunctioning" indicator light started working properly. So I guess the battery was wearing down after all. We use this vacuum almost daily, let's say on average 5 times a week for about 140 weeks. That's 700 charges on the battery. I don't know whether that's good or bad for a lithium-ion battery. The new one cost about $75 including shipping and exchange (from the U.S) so I figure it cost about 10 cents to vac our upper floor on a daily basis. I'm happy with the purchase but I did have a broken wire to the beater bar that I had to solder. Not an easy fix for most people.

46 MONTHS AFTER ORIGINAL PURCHASE: OK, so now we're getting some issues. For the THIRD time, I've had to disassemble the unit to repair a broken wire leading to the beater bar. The designers thought it was a good idea to have the wires pass through the swivel head to the small motor driving the bar. NOT!!! They crimp and eventually break. Three times now. Not an easy repair for most people I'd guess. But now we're approaching 4 years of service on two batteries so maybe that's a reasonable life span for something like this.

57 MONTHS AFTER ORIGINAL PURCHASE: We're on our second battery for this unit and it's starting to run down as I described above. Probably have a few more months before I'll need to replace. I notice that they are now $120!! And buying from the US at a 37% premium is probably not an option. The good news is my last repair job is still holding up but I'm thinking that this vac probably should be replaced soon. It'll be 5 years in a few months so not too bad. It starting to show its age.

Cumplió con mis expectativas, la verdad me gusta mucho su forma y maniobrabilidad. Las partes movibles son un poco frágiles, así que hay que cuidarlas. No sirve para sillones, solo para piso duro y tapetes. Solo yo la uso esperando me dure mucho tiempo. La batería tienen una durabilidad de 15-20 min en potencia alta. Aplico los mismos cuidados con esta batería como con las baterías de mis cámaras.: Nunca dejarlas puestas, no cargarlas hasta que estén completamente descargadas, y antes de usarse. Estoy satisfecha!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Handy item
Reviewed in Canada on March 4, 2013

I purchased this item after extensive research of many brands and reviews. I was going to try a Dyson cordless but the price and negative comments of features made me shy away from it. I purchased this cordless Hoover as a B'Day present for my wife (I know, I know, it's really not an appropriate item to give ones' wife as a gift, but I was told by females I spoke to that it was ok if the item made things easier. It surely did, as I use it more than she does which makes it ok - right?) We have a long haired cat and dragging out the 30' hose for the built in or one of our portable plug-in models on a regular basis was a pain in the you-know-what. The features of this machine that finalized my decision was the stay on switch (2 position - brush on or off), stand alone feature, light weight and particularly the separate battery charger which enables one to plug it in anywhere and charge a second battery if so desired.
We haven't had it long, but it is fantastic so far. Easy to use for anyone with arthritis, is powerful and the battery lasts long enough to do a quick job of the whole house (1200 square feet with mostly wood floors). It is amazing on it's ability to pick up cat hair from the area rugs, although one must be careful doing bathmat types as it sucks the mat into the brushes and jams them. A little balky at picking up dry cat food sized stuff but will do it.
Easy to empty and clean the canister and hair and fibres have to be picked from the rotating brushes, but I found this must be done on any brush head to keep it in top operating condition. All in all, a great product, great service from Amazon, AND, the most important, a HAPPY WIFE!
