Best cordless vac on the market but not perfect,
By
This review is from: Hoover LINX Stick and LINX Hand Vacuum Combo Pack (Kitchen)
Over the years I've gone through a Shark, Eureka, and Electrolux cordless vacuums. The Shark wasn't bad but emptying it without making a mess was a pain. It was good for getting pet hair off a carpet and great on hard floors, but not great at picking up carpet dirt. The Eureka was probably the worst. It didn't work well on floors or carpet and was really cheaply made. The Electrolux was well made but too under powered. It's also hard to push across carpet making it a mediocre hard floor vacuum. The detachable hand vac made it slightly more useful, but not enough for me to recommend it.
So to say that the Hoover Linx is the best battery powered vacuum on the market it not making a bold statement. The competition is pretty weak. Hoover doesn't have to work hard to be better. For the most part Hoover wins on all counts: it's a decent carpet vacuum, a very good hard floor vacuum, it's well made, and the battery initially holds a decent charge(about 10 minutes of run time). The hand vac is a separate unit but it's far better than the built-in hand vac in the Electrolux. If you are looking for the best battery power vacuum on the market, this is it. What are the downsides? Cost: for half the price of this vacuum you can get a much better corded vacuum and a good battery powered hand vac. If you are on a budget the Linx simply isn't a good value. It's not powerful enough to replace a corded vacuum, it just means you don't have to break it out as often. Suction: while far better than any other battery vacuum it's not nearly as powerful as the cheapest corded vacuum. Noise: it's louder than any other battery powered vacuum I've owned and louder than some corded vacuums. Battery: After about a year the Lithium Ion battery wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few minutes and replacement batteries are $50. So if money isn't an issue this is the best on the market. If you are trying to watch your budget get a corded vacuum or get the Shark.

Hoover LINX Stick and Hand Vacuum combo,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hoover LINX Stick and LINX Hand Vacuum Combo Pack (Kitchen)
These two battery powered vacuums are the best I have ever used. The Li-ion battery gives full power until its energy is exhausted. The stick vac will run about 15 minutes when used on carpets after a full charge, and works great! The hand vacuum is very well balanced and powerful plus easy to use. We have hardwood floors, the stick vac is excellent for that purpose. The batteries can be charged in three hours or less.

Best design and function,
By Nameless Faceless User (Holbrook, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover LINX Stick and LINX Hand Vacuum Combo Pack (Kitchen)
I was quite surprised at the power of a battery powered vacuum. This has all the features I was looking for - lightweight, upright, no bags, and best of all cordless. Compared to my canister corded vacuum, it will take a little longer to clean with this unit. On dirt, dust, sand, and quick cleaning it's really remarkable. It's fairly small and looks much better than the photos - sleek and shiny chrome and black plastic it can blend into a corner without needing to hide it from view. The hand-held unit is also very powerful, much better than a Dust Buster for cleaning auto carpets, getting into corners, and quick dry spills in the kitchen.
There are no loose attachments. The dust brushes on the hand-held are permanently attached and quickly swivel into place. The battery charger is intelligent so as not to overcharge or overheat the battery. Battery indicators on both units clearly show how much charge is left. There is a small swivel on the upright for corners which is just ok. I just have one complaint. There's no light on the front.
