We do have the Hoover Platinum Collection LINX Cordless Vacuum… It is GREAT.. Now trying to decide if we should get the HANDHELD.. I know that I want it, but still waiting for it to get a little closer to $100… then we WILL buy it.. I love my Hoover Platinum Vac…

I think this is over-priced, essentially paid $59 for the vac and $70 for the battery which I mostly use with the Stick vac in this Platinum line. The Owner’s Manual states that the battery must be removed before attaching or removing the ‘optional power brushroll’. Hoover currently does not have the power brushroll in production but its addition to the handvac will be a real plus. I will go for it as soon as it’s available. As it is, it’s suction is very good but the nozzle is not very effective on furniture with cat hair with or without the swing-up brush assembly. With the addition of the PBR, this may end up being priced similarly to the stickvac and much more effective in cleaning upholstered furniture.
UPDATE: Here it is, 6 months later and I am STILL WAITING FOR THE ‘OPTIONAL POWER BRUSH’ that Hoover described in its Owner’s Manual. If this EVER becomes available you’re going to have an excellent little machine for furniture touch-ups. Hey, Hoover, are you listening?

My old Black & Decker cordless vac, PHV1800 died on me and when I went to replace it I was told it had been discontinued which now I’m not sure is true since it’s still listed on their website. So I decided to “upgrade” a little and purchased this Hoover from Amazon for twice the price of the B&D. Although the removable chargeable battery is a nice feature (for other Hoover products yet to come) I prefer the old way of just docking the vac in it’s stand while the whole thing is plugged in. Solves the storage problem. This a pain to store; it rolls on it’s side and falls off of things. But this power pack is replaceable..the B&D was not easily replaceable. They are both 18 volt, but this seems less powerful. When the power is “up” it just shuts off (after about 15 minutes, not enough to do corners & floors on the first floor of my small house), unlike the B&D which would continue (at less power) for a little while longer. It is less noisy though. It is not as easy to maneuver into tight spaces…the extension nozzle is not long enough and does not stay in place. The dust removal “can” is also hard to remove as it’s too wide for most female hands to twist. I have to get my husband to do that. Maybe I should get him to do all of it!!

Absolutely love this hand vac. It is the best I’ve ever used. Only conplaint is the brush will not stay in the usable position so I do what I read with the other reviews, put a large rubber band behind it to hold it.

I bought this vac because of the power and the warranty. I was tired of buying a new “other brand” every other year. however, this one is very awkward to hold because it is back-heavy. the nozzle is small and it constantly gets clogged. it’s more of a pain to use than it is helpful. I will NOT buy this again.
