 Does not live up to the ratings August 12, 2010

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 $30 one and gotten the same performance. Also, the brush attachment is pathetic and will not stay extended.
Excellent product, except for two...... June 27, 2010

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! June 25, 2010

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 June 21, 2010

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 June 9, 2010

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.
