I have a Dyson for my heavy cleaning. This LiNX Cordless does nearly as good a job. It is lightweight and convenient and perfect for quick pickups as well as some heavy pickups. The battery pack is great and charges quickly. I am so happy I took a chance on this vacuum because I don't know what I'd do without it!

i did not purchased this be my only floor cleaner. i wanted something for quick pick up. i use it everyday on my hardwood floors, i have no carpet.
it makes a great dog hair pick up. it last about 20 minutes, but if i use it everyday, like i intended it for, it does the job before it loses power.
i just place it on the charger and its ready to go the next day. my house is only 1800 sq ft..of hard floor. this is not meant to be the full time vac for carpet. it is intended for quick speedy jobs.
it does not take long to recharge.

This worked great until I purchased a rug for my hard wood floor. The rug sheds because my son is always playing on it...and the balls of fuzz clog this vacuum! I have to pull out my other vacuum to suck it out of the main hole. It's alright for quick clean ups. It WOULD work on my whole house because we only have a little under 1000 sq. feet but the clogging issue is a bother. Not worth the price if you ask me.

So far I've used this stick vacuum for about one month and have found it very easy to use. It takes up little space, works well, charges quickly and is especially lightweight and easy to use compared to the other bigger, bulkier vacuums. My apartment is wall to wall carpeting and I use this most often to quickly vacuum up the cat litter on the floor without having to use the old fashioned broom and sweeper, which also needs immediate disposal...And it picks up hair! I like the Hoover name as well. Flex-pay made it affordable. I really hope it holds up so I can really feel it was worth every dollar.

What a great vacuum. I was amazed at how powerful this stick vac is. Easy to empty. Easy transition from floor to carpet with easy roll switch on the handle while your moving. I highly recommend it. Its perfect for quick jobs and most of all its powerful, Frank N.J, ( O almost forgot great warranty!!!)

Very poor execution of a concept. From the first charge, the battery will only last 15 minutes at best. I contacted Hoover customer service 3 times and got no response. The batteries they use are very cheap. There are much better lithium ion batteries available, but for some reason Hoover chose the inferior models. I'm not alone with this problem. Read ANY website with this product and you'll see the same thing. Put your money into a good corded product from a more customer oriented company (Dyson) and forget Hoover even exists.

Strong suction, even as the battery charge declines; picked up more dirt, dust, and cat hair than my $400 upright. Sorry to hear some of the negative reviews, hope mine continues to perform as it has. Easy disposal from the dirt chamber, easy assembly. Completely thorough on small (4x6) area rugs and hardwood floors. I'm satisfied! Thanks HSN.

I too loved my vacuum for the first three months. But, of course, after my final payment was made something started smelling like it was burning in the unit and now the roller does not turn, even by hand. Took it apart and the end pieces of the roller were almost melted it seemed. Now, I feel as though I've spent a lot of money for nothing. Enjoy it while you can, it won't last long. Wish I could return.

I only used this vacuum for an area rug 8 x 10 not finished paying for all the easy payments yet and it broke. Not sturdy plastic. Charged battery did not last even an hour in total when vacuuming. Very disappointed.

This little guy is the absolute BEST. I have tried everything out there and nothing compares to the suction of this handy little machine. I am thrilled and would highly urge anyone to try it. I have 4 cats, lots or kitty hair and liter to clean daily, it goes beyond the call of duty. It has made my life much easier. The only thing that I wish, that the battery would last a little longer. I'm going to buy a 2nd battery to solve that little problem. Thank you.

Living in a basement apartment with carpeting I needed something simple. Had it now for about 5 months. It SUCKS! I mean it really sucks up dirt. For a small vacuum this baby doesn't play. Charge, vacuum, done. Not sure what vacuums in this line are to weigh but this one doesn't seem heavy. The build quality is plastic but not something cheap to get the product out the door. Cleaning is simple:press latch, pop out cup, clean filter at the top, open cup, empty dirty, done.

Mine turned out to be a lemon. It would turn on, but wouldn't stay running. I'm sure there are lemons in all items, but I'm not going to try another. Shipping is too expensive to send defective items back.

First I received my vacuum within a week after ordering! I'm really enjoying this little "wonder"! The vacuum was VERY easy to put together outta the box. I don't have to worry about a cord following behind me as I vacuum. The dirt cup is kinda small and the charge only lasts about 20 minutes. I still enjoy/like this vacuum!

I have the Dyson pet model and at 72 it is much to heavy. A good cleaner but much to heavy. I rescue Greyhounds and this is perfect. I just pick up all the crumbs and dirt. Best of sll no finding an outlet too plug in. love it.

I like the fact that vacuum is light weight cordless, and has nice design. I have a 2 year old, and it was perfect for cleaning small everyday messes. I had the vacuum for 2 months now. About two weeks ago it started making loud noise and now it not picking up hair or small items like before. I cleaned the filter, cleaned the rollers. Nothing! I cannot return HSN. Like the previous review the battery life is very short. Not worth $180.
