Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Review
I bought this vacuum and it works like a charm. No more cords to fall over or have to keep plugging and unplugging. Really does an excellent job on my wood floors and gets all the dust and lint vacummed. Also works good on carpets. I do plan to get the extra battery so it will be ready at all times but you don’t need to if you are willing to wait three hours for the battery to recharge.

I had a Eureka stick vac for years and it finally bit the dust (so to speak) and I needed to replace it. I wanted something that would work well on my new hardwood floors and have good suction for quick touchups on my area rugs. This vacuum has good suction and I love the switch at fingers reach to switch between hardwood and carpet. I have a heavily shedding dog and it picks up the hair very well. My issues are two design flaws. The first is the battery life. Come on – a 15 minute battery on a nearly $200 vacuum???? That’s ridiculous. I barely get thru 3 rooms and it is dead. A replacement battery runs $60 which when combined with the cost of the vacuum is the same as purchasing 4 of the Eureka’s I had. The battery charger is also very finicky. If a large truck drives by it jostles the battery and it no longer has good contact to charge. If you stick the battery in the charger right out of the vacuum it is too hot and it won’t charge until it cools which takes about 15-20 minutes on top of the regular charge time of nearly 3 hours. The second complaint is the dust cup. The latch is poorly designed and the “hatch” won’t open to empty without pulling on which has netted me incredibly dirty hands twice now when emptying it. I think this has a great potential but for the cost I’m not happy with these two issues. When I clean I don’t want to schedule 3 hours between rooms. I want it done and over with. I think Hoover needs to rethink the spare battery cost. I think this one is going to go back because the cost is simply not justified with these two siginificant issues.

I have owned more vacuums than I care to count. I have wood floors in my kitchen, dining room and den. I have thick plush carpet in the rest of the house. I have a Braun canister vacuum for wood floors which is a pain to pull out on a daily basis so I wanted something I could park in a hidden corner of my kitchen that I could use daily. For 5 years I have suffered with an Electrolux stick vacuum that won’t pick up anything so when I saw the ad for this vacuum I decided to buy one. I am so pleased with it. The vacuum not only picks up all the crumbs but picks up dry cat food that vacuums usually spit out the back. The only thing I wish it could do is adjust a bit lower than it can. I was not expecting any kind of performance on carpet but much to my surprise it actually did a good surface job. So good that I had to empty the cup halfway through. It moved with great ease on my carpet and throw rugs with the exception of a thick oriental rug in my dining room. The vacuum was hard to push against the nap of the rug. I thought the Hoover was easy to put together (one screw). I find the dirt cup easy to put in and take out and empty. One thing I had to do was turn it over after vacuuming and clean out cat hair (I have two persians) from the brush. The long hair had wrapped around the brush like a spool of thread. The vac is also very light weight. The battery is easy to insert and I had plenty of power left after vacuuming my whole house.

I bought this after seeing the TV Commercial and reading the previous reviews. I have three Scottish Terriers who bring the outside inside on a daily basis. This little vacuum more than handles their combined “footprint.” Suction power is great, and ability to turn off roller helps immensely with area rug fringes. Battery power is the major disappointment. Indeed, you cannot waste time as your battery life will limit your square coverage. I was able to cover a 17 x 21, a 10 x10, a 20 x 8 and 12 x 14 room on one charge. That said, if more attention to detail was paid to nooks I am not sure I would have acheived this much. Like the previous reviewer I am debating keeping the machine. An extra battery might alleviate the problem – however, with ability to only charge one battery at a time you are really looking at a six hour gap between cleanings. I plan to call Hoover to see what extra battery/charger options, if any are available. With battery improvement I would give 5 stars without hesitation. For small spaces this is a great product. Also, you will most likely have to empty the vacuum at least once during a 3-4 room cleaning. I did not find this difficult, nor too messy.
