I have 4 dogs & a baby so I'm always vacuuming!! This was a splurge for me but we insisted on getting a GOOD one since baby is crawling around. I love the suction on this. I feel like im REALLY getting a bunch of crap off the carpet with this. It doesn't work well on hard wood floors though. With great suction comes emptying the canister A LOT! its not hard but it is kind of annoying to do. The battery seems to die really fast, I know you can buy another battery but they are EXPENSIVE! regardless, I love it!

**UPDATE, November 30, 2020.**I bought this item on June 3, 2020. That's just UNDER 6 months.The Official Update is that MY BATTERY NO LONGER WORKS!!! Per the blinking red light on the charger, it's saying that my battery pack is defective.So now I either get to buy a new battery, or enjoy my $160 vacuum as "wall art" in my laundry room where it hangs.VERY DISAPPOINTED. Changed to 1 star review.Original Review is unedited below.----------------------------------------------------For some reason I like vacuums. I don't know why, I just like them. So when the time came to look for a cordless stick vacuum, I did my research. I adopted the neighborhood cat when she got pregnant over the winter and she gave birth to 5 kittens, so with 6 cats in the house, I need to vacuum. A lot.This Hoover works quite well for what it is, but you have to understand its limitations. First of all, this WILL NOT REPLACE your plug-in (corded) vacuum cleaner. Also note that Hoover is a little .... optimistic about the running time. It is NOT 30+ minutes. It's more like 12 when you have it going full power. Let's break down what happens here: When you power it on, you get full-power suction and half-speed brush rotation. If you are doing carpet, hit the CARPET button and the brushes will spin up to full speed. If you're doing hard floors or light cleaning, hit the ECO button and you get reduced suction. When both are on full power (like I need for cat hair and cat litter), running time is DRASTICALLY reduced, but during that time, it really performs quite well.I saw another reviewer complain that all the weight is at the top, near your hand so it's difficult to keep the vacuum head on the floor and I can definitely see what they're talking about, but it takes about 5 minutes to learn how to adapt your grip to overcome this.The LED lights are really bright and I love them. My corded vacuum is a Dyson Ball, which (inexplicably for $500) doesn't have a &$*@ing headlight.... (shrugs), so having these lights is really nice!Listen, this is NOT going to replace your full sized vacuum, but it is quite powerful, very agile, lays flat to vacuum under tables and beds and some sofas (another thing my Dyson ball doesn't do), and really picks up an impressive amount of hair. If you think of this thing as more of a "Dust-buster on steroids", I'm sure you'll be pleased. This is not going to run all day and clean your entire house, but for those moments when someone sends a text that says, "Hey can I drop by in 10 minutes?" And you don't feel like hauling out the full-sized vacuum, unreeling the cord, finding a plug, vacuuming, winding up the cord and putting it away... you'll love this thing! And if you have a small house or apartment with a hard floor where you can run the brushes at half-speed and the suction in ECO mode, you'll probably love it even more! And considering the Dyson cordless vacuum are like $600 (!!) and even the Shark cordless vacuums are like $400 (!), I feel like this is a good alternative to those - as well as those other brands you've never heard of with the suspiciously Chinese-sounding names that you can find here on Amazon.Now, let's just see how long the battery continues to work well...

I did like this vacuum. It worked great for my HW floors and carpets. Used it maybe 15-20 times. Now battery won't take a charge. New battery is $82 bucks! I won't take a chance on a non-OEM replacement battery. I have a inquiry out on the warantee. Not sure of the details, but its most likely out of warantee and its going in the trash.UPDATES: I did buy a non-OEM replacement battery so the Vac is up and running again. I also submitted a warrantee claim because the warrantee for the Vac and Battery is 3 years. Tech sent me some troubleshooting tips but all eventually still led to a failed battery pack. I just received an email that my warrantee claim has been approved and a new 4ah battery pack is going to be shipped to me. So I am giving this 5 stars because of the great support Hoover provided. I had also talked with a CS rep on the phone and that was a very pleasant experience. Kudos to you Hoover!

I notice in the product description, this Hoover is described as "lightweight". I would not describe it that way. I found it to be quite heavy while vacuuming. I mention this because if you are a senior with any sorts of muscular issues in the arms, it might not be for you. Having said that, however, I found this vacuum to be acceptable after a number of failures to get the results I needed in cordless models. Firstly, this Hoover has the most power suction capability of any cordless vacuum I've ever purchased. It may not be the one with the most power, but it worked fine for me. Secondly, the battery power lasts a reasonable amount of time for me to vacuum my entire apartment. (I should say here that I have only a small apartment with 2 carpeted rooms.) It will also do a good job on linoleum. It has 3 power settings, and I especially like the lowest setting because it allows you to vacuum in places where power cords are without shredding them . If used on the lowest setting, too, the battery power lasts longer. I would say that overall this is a pretty good vacuum for a cordless, and in spite of the faxt that it is a bit heavy, I have decided to keep it.

The device functions fine. Vacuums. Picks up fine. Works on hardwood, even carpet. You easily do stairs and pull of the suction rod to clean furniture.If you want a battery operated sweeper for quick messes, you won't go wrong with this.Things you should know before you buy1. The head is narrow, it is 8.5 inches wide so you have to vacuum back and fourth a lot2. The suction is fair, just note it is battery operated so don't expect it to function like your regular vacuum.3. The unit is out of balance. The top of the vacuum--where you hold it--is where the motor is, so it holds unnaturally in your had while you sweep. Takes some getting use to.4. Buy a separate battery, the battery lasts only one or two uses and you will have a more enjoyable experience if you have a charged battery at the ready.I honestly got better function out of a shake sweeper, but those types of unites don't seem to be made anymore.
