Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for everyday pick-ups of messes and spills, this cordless handheld vacuum cleaner combines Cyclonic Action Filtration and Lithium Ion battery technology for extended run time and exceptionally powerful performance. The unit's interchangeable 18-volt Lithium Ion battery ensures maximum "fade-free" power right up until the battery becomes completely drained, while its battery-fuel gauge clearly indicates the amount of battery life remaining. An Energy Star battery charger comes included for quickly and efficiently powering it back up to a full charge. Furthermore, the unit's on-board combination crevice tool and dusting brush makes it possible to effectively clean and detail small spaces. Simply push the stored crevice tool forward, pivot up, and lock it into place on the end of the nozzle, pulling the brushes forward for use as a dusting brush as needed. Other highlights include a comfort-grip handle, an easy-to-empty dust cup, and a lightweight ergonomic design at just 3-2/7 pounds for comfortable use. The handheld vacuum cleaner measures approximately 18 by 6-1/5 by 8-1/5 inches and carries a six-year limited warranty on the vacuum and a two-year limited warranty on the battery and charger.

Customer Reviews

Dirt Sucker Supreme
This product does exactly what it was intended to do. It sucks up dust, dirt, and minor debris; and it does it well. The balance is perfect in your hand; the snout is fairly long for getting into tight places, it has powerful suction, the battery lasts long, the charger is first class and lets you know when it is done, the battery indicator lets you know how much longer you can use the vac before recharge, and it has a built-in brush. That merits 5 stars.

There are two minor cons that don't measure up to the 5-star level. When the brush is rotated and slid/snapped out into working position, it does not stayed extended out if you push hard on the surface being vacuumed. But, I don't think the designers intended that you use the brush to vacuum a carpet. It does work very well on computer keyboards, my cordless phone charging station, the back of my computer, and the nooks and crannies on my car dashboard. What I now do is to wrap a wide rubber band around the extended nozzle, just behind the brush. That works perfectly. The brush does not slide back from operating position, and I can do my whole car very successfully with no brush problems.

The second con is that when emptying the vac, the cannister rotates stiffly, so I hold the handle between my knees and use both hands to rotate the cannister to remove it. I suspect that after I empty the vac a number of times it will start to loosen a little, and it will be a one-hand job.

Every time I use this vacuum cleaner, the thought goes through my mind that Hoover must have assigned their most experienced product engineer to design it. The switch is in the perfect position. The perfect balance makes the unit feel light. The nozzle end just wants to hang down to the right position where you will be cleaning. You can see how much you have sucked up and when it is time to empty. The more expensive lithium ion battery charges quickly and does a lot of cleaning before becoming discharged.

If you can afford it, buy. You will not be disappointed.

What a sucker!!!
This is one powerful hand vac. It really does a good job of picking up about anything you find on the floor, and it lasts a satisfying long time on a single charge. I highly recommend it for this reason.

One design flaw was a problem. It replaced a wall-mounted dustbuster! However, it does not have any provision for mounting on a wall. So special accomodations had to be made to provide a storage place for the vac and the charger. This was the one big disappointment my wife had with the replacement. However, she forgot all about it after a few uses of this clearly superior hand vac.

Great Handheld Vacuum!!
Hoover BH50015 Platinum Collection LINX Cordless Handheld Vacuum CleanerThis is a excellent Handheld vacuum mainly because of battery power!! I am a auto clean "nut". The Hoover works great for automobiles. I have never used a battery vacuum with this POWER and RUN time!! I looked a several other brands but decided to pay more for the Hoover. You get what you pay for!! I am happy with this decision.
