What's great about it: Great for the price and cordless!
I've had this vacuum for several months so far and I have not had a problem with the battery life or suction on it. I can get all the downstairs with it (over 1250sqft) without having the battery run out and I even keep the brushes turned on. I do recharge it after every use though, I just leave it on the charger when done.
I also have a zoo at my house, 2 dogs and 4 cats, so we like to vacuum everyday with it and it picks up all the hairs extremely well.
I also have a zoo at my house, 2 dogs and 4 cats, so we like to vacuum everyday with it and it picks up all the hairs extremely well.
My only complaint would be that when you empty it, it kind of just dumps the dust/dirt/fur out and seems to get on the container or stuck in it (probably because of all the fur >.>). But that's just a very small issue and doesn't happen all the time.
All in all I would buy this vacuum again if this one I have now ever goes out on me, it really gets the job done and I love the cordless option!

What's great about it: Easy and fast to get out and use
What's not so great: Keep your big vacuum for your rugs
We got a great deal on this vacuum from Best Buy. My wife loves the fact she can bring out this very easy to use and light weight vacuum for our hardwood floors that really collect our dog hairs. This vacuum can vacuum all of our hardwood floors on our first floor with it's 13 to 15 minute charge. No more dog hairs! The rugs are harder, and it does an OK but not great job on them.
We would buy it again and are really glad we have it. Every needs one. The charger is really easy to use also.

What's great about it: versatility, cleaning performance, appearance
We've had hardwood floors for years and were always looking for a better, easier way to keep them clean. When we recently moved, I threw out 5 or more corded and cordless "multi-purpose" vaccuums because they all had downfalls. Poor suction, attached lint cloths, poor battery life, and just overall poor performance left us needing to go ahead and sweep the old fashioned way even after using them. We had pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that the old school broom and dust pan were going to be the only tools that would accomplish what we wanted.
We were over at our neighbors house one night and we got to talking about keeping floors clean and they had been using the Linx and they loved it. We decided that we would give technology one last opportunity to show us that it could perform better and easier than using the broom and pan method.
We ordered and received it in a few days. It was very simple to put together, needing only a phillips head screwdriver to attach the handle.
The first use was very impressive! We charged the battery and the Linx picked up everything in its path, easily transitioning from hardwood floors to carpet, picking up the good ole wind blown Kansas dust and dirt. We have pets and it also does an EXCELLENT job of picking up pet hair from carpet, rugs and hardwood floors.
The battery life is satisfactory for what we need it for, and lasts much longer than the other types that we have used in the past. There is no let-down on the battery operation either. It runs full speed until the battery is run down, continuing to clean at 100% through the entire cycle. Simply pop the battery out and onto the charger and it is ready for the next round in a few hours. We went ahead and purchased a second battery to have on hand in case we needed it to finish the job, but have yet to have to switch them out mid-job.
The bagless feature of trapping the dirt and hair is great and is easy to dump when the job is complete. It also allows you to see what you've picked up.
Overall, this by far is the BEST cordless vaccuum we have used and it does a GREAT job! After going through so many cheaper devices, I only wish that we would have found this one first, rather than last! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for areas with hardwood floors and tile, and areas that transition from hardwood floors to carpet! A great daily cleaning tool!
Thanks to our neighbors and to Hoover! MT Rocks!

What's great about it: light, super easy to use
What's not so great: battery life, doesnt reach under furniture
We have 2 dogs and are expecting a baby any day so we needed a vacuum that was light and easy to use everyday. We have a full size vacuum that works great but is really heavy and made vacuuming our small apt a huge task. The linx is great for everyday vacuuming to keep the dust and pet hair under control in between the big vacuuming days. It's small and light so it's super easy to use but has enough power to get most of the dust and pet hair, even from carpet. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and vacuum everyday! It makes vacuuming super easy! The power is pretty good for a stick vac. I was initally looking at the electrolux but realized it has the same power as my hand held kurv (those tiny hand held vacs). The linx has about twice that power. I don't really know how much dirt it really picks up but the canister fills up with tons of hair and dust everytime I vacuum so I'm guessing it's doing it's job. Clearly it's not meant to replace your full size vacuum but it keeps us from having to pull out our giant vacuum every day. The battery life is decent although not great. It lasts long enough to vacuum our 1 bedroom apt twice before having to charge it again. That's fine for us since we can get 2 good runs before having to recharge. If you have a bigger home, you have want to consider getting an extra battery. I also love how the power switch is on the handle. It's super convenient! You can turn the vacuum on and off or switch from regular mode to brush roll with just the flick of your thumb.
My only complaint is that I wish it was a little slimmer so it goes under furniture better. The canister makes it too fat to reach under my couch and bed, which is where a lot of the dust is. It's also a bit costly for a stick vac but definitely worth it if you need to vacuum everyday and can't be bothered with constantly having to pulling out a giant, heavy vacuum.
Before getting pregnant, I probably only vacuumed a couple times a year (no joke--I hate vacuuming) but now I vacuum everyday. This little vac is great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Cleaning and suction power
What's not so great: Not cheap, additional battery almost mandatory for whole house cleaning
I had been eyeing the vacuum for quite some time but continued to hold off because of the price. Needless to say I took the plunge. Overall I'm satisfied and recommend the product. HOWEVER, there are conflicting posts with regard to battery life. Some people claim the battery lasts for hours. Others state their disappointment because they only get 10-15 minutes of useage on a charge. I ended up being the latter so I decided to contact the manufacturer. Below is Hoover's response.
Thank you for your recent email. You can expect the Hoover Platinum Collection Stick Vac with LiNX Battery, Model #BH50010, to have "Fade Free" power during an operation/run time of approximately 11-12 minutes. The run time will vary slightly depending on whether or not the agitator brush roll is engaged or turned off. The LiNX Battery is an 18-Volt Lithium Ion Battery which will recharge in approximately 2-3 hours and can be recharged approximately 100,000 times over the life of the battery. You can tell when the battery is fully charged when the blue light on the charger pulses. The LiNX Battery and charger have a two year warranty for manufacturing defects and your Hoover Platinum Collection Stick Vac has a six year warranty for manufacturing defects.. The LiNX Battery also operates the Hoover Platinum Collection Hand Vac.
I cannot speak to how anyone is getting (significantly) longer battery life than what the manufacturer states. I do hope though that Hoover’s response above does set the record straight for future purchasers.

I much prefer this vacuum to my Sears canister that I have to plug in and tow around the kitchen. I think I will vacuum more often now that I have this. It does a good job on the laminate floor and carpet tiles.
Now I just need something for those pesky stairs.

What's great about it: Cordless & Great Results
What's not so great: Wish the collection container was larger
My husband heard about this sweeper from our cleaning lady. As we have 5 greyhounds she was begging for an easy option of getting up the hairs and dirt. We finally picked it up and was pleasantly surprised. The battery lasts for about three hours and I can quickly get under furniture with ease and get the tile and hardwood so much cleaner than with the dust mop I was using along with dragging out the big vacuum with the long cord. So easy I can do this everyday....

What's great about it: The big brush head, the style
What's not so great: THE PRICE, the battery run time
This vacuum cleaned pretty well, but no better than my Shark Stick Vac. The Shark battery lasts about 12 minutes for me, depending on what surfaces and speeds I use. This one lasted about 14 minutes. 2 more minutes for $100 more dollars about about the same cleaning power????? That's no deal.
I did like the big cleaning head and the look of the unit, but it's just not what I was expecting for the $$

Very happy with this vacuum. We got rid of our Pronto's because it was basically useless. One thing I really love about this unit is it picks up stuff really well on tiled floors. Vacuums we've had in the past used to just throw the debris all around the floor. This vacuum just picks everything up. Highly recommended.

What's great about it: Cordless, lightweight, great suction, no bags to buy!
What's not so great: Could cost less, but I guess it's true "you get what you pay for".
I am more than impressed! Like some of the other posters, I have bought several bare floor vacs and was never really satisfied. I decided to try this one, knowing that if I didn't like it, I could take it back for a full refund. The first charge took 3 hours, so after it was charged I vacuumed my house. It did a great job on my kitchen linoleum floor, the hard wood floors, and with a flick of the switch, it also cleaned my carpeted bedroom! I am simply amazed, and I love the fact that it is cordless! I also want to note that it did a really good job getting close to the wall too. As far as the battery life goes, I vacuumed my living room, three bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom and still have plenty of charge left. With a 6 year warranty on the vacuum, and 2 years on the rechargable battery, I don't see where you can go wrong. I give this product 5 stars!

What's great about it: ACTUALLY PICKS UP DIRT/DEBRIS, A PLEASURE TO USE.
What's not so great: BATTERY HAS A LIFE SHORTER THAN REPLICANTS IN BLADERUNNER.
Unlike the 9 volt Electrolux Pronto, this thing actually does what it was designed to do--cleaning kitchen or hardwood floors quickly and easily. Also, picks up the cookie crumbs on carpets just as your guests are ringing the doorbell. (You still need a wired vacuum for properly cleaning your carpets and rugs, but this is great for surface debris.) A pleasure to use--causes me to vacuum quickly and often throughout the week.
Be real about the battery, people. It's life is short because it produces strong suction at 18 volts. After the first charge of 3 hours, it takes now about 90 minutes to recharge. I get 4-5 uses in the kitchen before recharging. That's more than a week and not an annoyance at all.
Have had this five/six weeks and consider the money well-spent. Best Buy had the best price on the web during a sale.

This is the best cordless stick vacuum I have ever owned. I have tried the Shark Sweeper, Bissell Turbo and a Dirt Devil, due to the price. Well you get what you pay for. If you want a cordless stick that will pick up on laminate, stone tile, carpet, etc., this is the one. Don't waste the time purchasing cheap ones, only to take them back since they won't work or break. Thank you HOOVER!!!

What's great about it: Works almost as well as full-size vac; battery lasts a long time; a lot of power
What's not so great: LED by the powerhead could be good to help see what you're doing; but this would just help...not mandatory
Very easy, works nearly as well as full size vac. Charges moderaltely quickly. Because it is so light, we can do the whole family area in just a few minutes, and do so more often...house feels cleaner,...we save the full size vac for 2 times per month, and use this nearly every day. MUCH more powerful than the Electrolux version, which we had before.
