"Love this for needed" 2010-07-28
By SMNof2
I love this vacuum! The reason why I bought it was to primarily keep my kitchen, breakfast bar, and family room clean. I have a 3 year old who drops everything, a 8 month old who crawls and eats everything, and a black dog with white floors. I keep the vacuum in my pantry closet so it is very handy. I love the handheld option because I use it for the high chair (which my dog hates because that used to be her job). I have had this item for over a month and have no real complaints. My house is 2400 sq ft so I can't vacuum the whole house with one charge but I can do most of it. I did not get this vacuum to clean the whole house, I got it to clean the everyday floors that we do most of our "living" in. Getting my big vacuum and the extension cord that I use with it is somewhat of a hassle, especially for using it everyday. I can use this item 3 to 4 times a day depending on the activities we are doing. I would recommend this vacuum for everyday use, small spaces, and people who do not want or are not able to use a heavy vacuum anymore. The suction is wonderful and picks up a lot of items that I did not think it would.

"Great Little Vacuum!" 2010-07-28
By L. Keller (Kansas City)
I love this little stick vacuum. It replaced my swivel sweeper that pooped out after not having it too long. The Electrolux vacuum is used primarily on my tile floor in the kitchen. Sometimes it takes a couple of sweeps to pick crumbs and items up but it is better than bringing out the large vacuum when I can be done in 2 minutes with the Electrolux. It is easy to clean and fits nicely out of the way in my laundry room. The detachable vacuum with attachments is a bonus that has come in handy to use on the furniture.

"Cordeless Vacuum" 2010-07-25
By PBG
Great value for the money and easy to use for quick cleanups. I like that it is a floor model in addition to being a handheld model. Makes for easy usage...no bending over to get at those crumbs on the floor! The charge lasts for more than enough time to do thorough cleanups in our kitchen/eating area. I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is looking to replace an old handheld cordless vacuum.

"A Vacuum that Really Sucks ;-)" 2010-07-31
By B. Knost (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA USA)
It works so well on bare floors. Most of the time the battery lasts for the whole house - over 2,000 sq ft. If I use it on the rugs and use the roller brush it uses more power and doesn't last as long. I highly recommend it. Love that there is no cord to be tangled up or have to keep changing where it is plugged into. The suction is very good. Gets up larger things like cereal. I use it at least once daily.

No problems so far with the battery. I do charge it and once charged take it off the charger.

I was using the swiffer vac and it became too much. Between the swiffer pads and having to wait so long in between to charge, it was getting out of hand! So I'm really glad I made the change. If you have a house full of hard wood or tile floors with just a few rugs, this is the vac. I highly recommend it!

"great" 2010-07-29
By Marilyn S. D. (forked river, NJ)
I have recently changed from carpeting to wood laminate in my house for all floors. I looked for something quick to vaccum and lightweight. It is both. I use it everyday. The only drawback is that the rechargeable battery runs out just about when I am finished. If I had more to vaccuum I would have to wait for a recharge.

"nNice cleaner" 2010-07-28
By V. Gilbert
The cleaner is lightweight and powerful. It looks good and avoids dragging cords all over and plugging and unplugging them as you go from room to room. Cup is easy to clean out. Charger is easy to charge and use.

Only negative is that the charge is not very long lasting and if you don't have a spare charging while you work you will probably have to stop after 30 or so minutes and wait for the charger to be re energized- a matter of hours. I stick it in the car and use it on our country cottage which has stairs-much easier to do without cords.

"LINX stinks!!" 2010-07-27
By JamesSD
After buying two other less expensive cordless vacuums and being disappointed in them, I decided to "go for it" and buy the "best" one I could find. Problem is the Hoover LINX Cordless Stick Vacuum is ALSO garbage...just more expensive. On hardwood and tile floors, it picks up pet hair, dust and other assorted light debris and them spits most of it back out a few seconds later. Very frustrating. Another "bonus" is the battery life is extremely short. Waste of money. I plan to exchange mine for a corded vacuum.

"THE RIGHT VAC FOR THE RIGHT JOB!" 2010-07-25
By Janice Gudinkas (Willington CT)
Frankly I'm frustrated with reviewers who hate this machine, claiming that it can't clean the whole house and the battery wears down too quickly. Folks... this is a spot cleaner, ergo the size, power, design and weight of machine! This machine is perfect for picking up, in a split second,:...... the dog's shedded fur in the tile entryway [no more chasing fur bunnies]; dust bunnies behind the bathroom doors; cornflakes on the kitchen floor; and whatever dust & specks in rooms' corners. **Save the BIG machine for whole house cleaning on "whole house cleaning days" when the vacuum is running for a few hours, it seems. Use the right machine for the right job. Do you think the vacuum is too expensive? If I were just starting out on a tight budget, I'd opt for a full-service Hoover amd leave this on a wish list. Hey, eliminate your angst and use the Hoover LINX as intended. And don't leave the battery in the charger after it's charged, so I heard, or it won't work. But an extra battery....HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF NOT HAVE AN EXTRA????? Be prepared....the government surely isn't~ {sorry for the non-partisen comment!) BUY THIS HOOVER. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! But make sure you have a good sturdy "regular" one first!!! P.S> Knowing my elderly and frail friends, they would adore this vac if friends kept it charged. No more bending over to sweep up dirt. And you can empty the can for him/her! It takes a village.

"Battery duration could be better." 2010-08-04
By Michael Ziaslas (San Diego, CA)
This vacuum works great and is completely functional. The only problem is that this manufacturer is still using the ancient Ni Cad battery technology, the same as on the old Dustbusters. Get with it B & D. For no more in production costs, you could install NiMH batteries which would give over 50% more run time.

"After a year, still works great!" 2010-08-03
By W. Applegren (Los Angeles, CA)
We bought this over a year ago after going through several different "dustbusters". This one has had consistent power, easy to use even for my 9 and 11 year olds cleaning up kitty litter weekly.

I love the long thin nozzle that gets under my car seats - without having to search for attachments since it stays attached and just folds up after use, and I can clean my whole minivan without running out of juice! Haven't found any "cons" so far, so have to give it 5 stars.

"Little Bug Sucker" 2010-07-30
By Laurennce Marinel
We are gardeners and were looking for an organic way to remove insect pests from our plants. We were relly looking for something to remove squash bugs (stink bugs) from our pumpkins. It takes a long time to charge the battery the first time, so I didn't get to try it out the day we got it. After it was fully charged, with my B&D vac in hand I went forth to the garden. No bug could stand against the powerful vacuum of the little B&D. The easy to clean filter is also a plus for this use. I sometimes get a lot of soil in the vac when I try to get the bugs. Just pop open the collection door and remove the filters to clean. I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be used as an organic insecticide, but it really works well. No problens so far.

"great sweeper!" 2010-07-31
By James O. Hines (Bracey, Virginia USA)
Having a small area to maintain, this sweeper is perfect. It's like a dustbuster on steroids, and is emptied in the same manner as a dustbuster. I've used it daily since I got it, and so far, it does what Hoover says it does. Again, it's like a dustbuster mounted on a stick, and is not meant for large areas or entire houses, etc.

"Overheats too quickly (on carpet)" 2010-07-30
By singingpie
This is a decent, inexpensive vaccuum. However, I don't believe it can be used to clean carpets. We have a tiny living room and it overheats WAY too quickly when we flick the power nozzle on. We get maybe half of the living room vacuumed before it shuts down needing to be off for about 30 minutes.

"Don't buy this! Motor breaks down in less than a year" 2010-07-29
By Bama Fan (Virginia Beach, VA)
While looking for a light weight practical, efficient, vacuum cleaner I saw all the rave reviews on this one and bought one. It seemed great once I used it a few times so I bought another for the upstairs. Well, a few months later while vacuuming for about five minutes it stopped working no more suction and the motor sounded strange. It worked the next day but only for a bit then nothing. The second went the same way as the first blowing out by overheating itself or I don't know what. I have ceramic floors, always cleaned filters before using, and never had to vacuum more than ten minutes so really there was no reason for this overheating or motor blowing out unless it's just plain cheap and bad engineering. So, my advice is get something that may be more costly but at least will last in the end. I blew a hundred dollars in the end and am now looking for something better!!

"Great Little Stick Vacume...Don't Hesitate" 2010-07-28
By Judy Knee (Sullivan County, NY)
This is a great little Stick Vacume. Powerful enough to pick up Sand plus all the little lint stuff that gets onto carpets. So easy to switch between floors and carpets. You will not be disappointed. I originally had a Swiffer electric broom, but that does NOT do the small carpet runners at the door or in the living room and when you need convenience to do both, the Flair Stick Broom does the job. Do not hesitate to get this one. I searched for a good one and glad I picked this one.

"Hoover has converted this former Dyson addict....." 2010-08-01
By C. WILLIAMS (Alabama)
I have to preface this review by stating that I previously had a Dyson DC17 Monster (that last a tad over a year before breaking down only to be told it was from normal wear & tear and would not be covered under warranty - I had bought it from Dyson as a refurb). When the Dyson was working it was an incredible vacuum so when it died I replaced it with a new Dyson DC27 from Sam's Club - 3 weeks after purchase it quit sucking! I checked all the traps, filters etc. and nothing seemed to be lodged in their. I called Dyson and had them walk me through trouble-shooting and at the end of the call they stated it was like something to do with the motor "grounding out" and that I needed to take it in to a service tech - however I had to go to an authorized tech and the nearest one was nearly an hour away - they would not pay for shipping to/from there. Needless to say I took the vacuum back to Sam's (within the 30 day return policy) and got my money back and started vacuum shopping again.

I looked around and had settled on this vacuum after reading several reviews.

Why a bagged vacuum? After having the Dyson(s) for over a year (and a cheapo bagless Dirt Devil prior to that) I got tired of all the dust etc. that would escape every time you had to empty the bins- and those bins feel up quickly when you have pets like I do! This bagged unit does a great job of trapping all the dust etc. and it isn't a problem when I change them out - not to mention it doesn't require nearly as much "emptying" as it holds more contents!).

I honestly cannot tell a difference in the cleanliness of my floors from going from the Dyson models to this Hoover. The suction is incredible and the unit is much lighter to use, which is never a bad thing. The unit has a nice feature where it lights up on the handle when the bag needs to be changed so their is no unnecessary "checking" on the bags.

As an added bonus it comes with a canister vacuum - I've only used it a couple of times and it seems to do an adequate job itself. It is not a cordless unit though so don't expect it to be a "dust-buster" type of item.

"Not a good choice for closed-loop Berber Carpets." 2010-07-31
By Karen Bedard (Sun City West, AZ USA)
This is the first upright vacuum cleaner I have owned. It had such great reviews that I decided to make the switch from a canister vacuum.

Pros: The Hoover Platinum is reasonably light and easy to insert or remove the bag. It has amazing suction. It is a nice looking unit.

Cons: It is very loud, even in the low speed. The amazing suction and rotating brush makes the vacuum extremely difficult to pull back as you are vacuuming. After just vacuuming my berber carpet for a few minutes, I noticed that fuzz started appearing where I had vacuumed. On closer inspection, I realized that the combination of the rotating brush and the suction were tearing my berber carpet loops. I then got on my knees and trimmed my carpet with scissors to try to undo the damage.

After doing research about vacuums and berber carpet, I found that carpet manufacturers do not recommend vacuums with rotating brushes for Berber. Unfortunately, the Hoover Platinum does not have a manual way to change the height adjustment of the brushes - so I had to return the unit.

"Nice vaccum for the price" 2010-08-02
By Crunchy Mom
We purchased this vacucum a little over a year ago. We had new carpet put in and I was impressed by how much fuzz it picked up. It seems to get a good amount of dirt as well. The only down side I found is the size of the bag. It fills up very quickly. I use my vaccum every other day and I have to change the bag once a month. However, I feel like it is cleaning really well, so I can live with purchasing the extra bags. I think this is a good vaccum for the price and I would buy it again.

"great vacuum...owned this for about a year" 2010-07-29
By an impressed reader (California)
I had low expectations with this inexpensive vacuum but I purchased it due to the low price, free shipping and the great Amazon reviews. We have had it for a year and it works much better than my old vacuum from Sears that cost $250. I tried a Dyson at one point but it was so bulky, difficult to clean my car with and expensive that I returned it to Sears. That was a total waste of money. This vacuum is relatively light and has great sucking power and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It is totally sufficent and it costs what a vacuum should cost.

"Great value, but I question the durability" 2010-07-25
By R. Padilla (California)
Like several others, I purchased this vacuum after reading all the positive reviews. For the most part, I agree with them. This is a fantastic vacuum cleaner that's a superior value. Unfortunately, the unit I purchased broke down after 20 months. I'm tempted to buy another one since it worked so well for those 20 months and the price is still a relative steal. That said, I will be mindful of the durability. While there's only so much you can expect for less than $70, I was hoping that my product would last at least three years.

Bottom line: brilliant when it worked and a tremendous value, but I worry about the durability.
