Design
While the Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner is technically an upright vacuum cleaner, because it is so small and portable, it is considered more of a stick vacuum cleaner. It is not much bigger than a broom, yet has the power to clean entire rooms in one go. It is cordless and the vacuum cleaner itself does not need to be charged – rather it has a removable, interchangeable lithium ion battery which charges independently. The separate battery charger is only around the size of a large wallet so it takes up virtually no space at all. Which means that you can leave the battery to charge while storing the vacuum cleaner anywhere that suits.
It is lightweight and can be easily carried around even with one hand only. You can also find an on/off trigger button which you can easily control using a single finger on the handle – so you do not waste the battery power by having it running when it is not needed. There are no bags needed so the dirt goes into a dust chamber, which can be removed from the main vacuum cleaner and emptied easily into the bin.
Features
The Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner really is packed with features, which is truly remarkable when you look at how small it is. Consumers loved the idea that its rechargeable battery can be interchanged, so with an extra battery on hand, you are sure that your cleaning chore won’t be interrupted when its battery drains. The Hoover stick vacuum also uses a specially designed triple wind tunnel suction technology which sucks up 3 times more dirt and particles than a standard vacuum cleaner. What it lacks in size, it definitely makes up for in power.
The head of the vacuum cleaner has an auto height adjust feature which means it is able to pick up smaller, hardly-seen dust particles just as well as larger pieces of debris (such as cereal or other foodstuffs). It will not simply push these larger particles to the side. The head also has a power brush for use on carpets which is quite efficient, and this can be turned off with a flick of a switch for use on hard floors.
Usability
It is arguably one of the easiest to use vacuum cleaner on the market. It is compact and lightweight which is extremely useful for those with limited storage space, and it can easily be carried with a single hand, so is perfect for multi storey houses. The controls are very simple and thanks to the intelligent design it is able to have different levels of power with a single switch. The vacuum is also quite basic – it does not come with any accessories, rather it is primarily used as a floor cleaner. The dust chamber is especially easy to empty and you do not need to get your hands dirty at all – simply separate it from the main vacuum, hold it over a bin and push the release button.
Because it is so small, it is very effective at getting into small spaces, and it very manoeuvrable. It is perfect for those with furniture and other treasures neatly arranged in a confined space and who need a small vacuum cleaner to clean the floors around them.
But be reminded that the Hoover stick vacuum is somewhat awkward to use in cleaning stairs.
Verdict
Hoover has managed to offer the consumers with a cordless stick vacuum cleaner which is efficient in cleaning low-pile carpets, hardwood floors and even great in removing pet hair, yet it is not too expensive. Additionally, with its separate battery charging station, you can store the vacuum cleaner anywhere that suits, while leaving the battery on charge at all times. It is one of the most user friendly and effective small vacuum cleaner that one can find on the market today and can also exceed consumer’s expectation. Because it is a smaller vacuum cleaner with a small battery, it will not be able to vacuum a large house with a single charge, however it is perfect for quick clean ups or cleaning area by area of your home. But if you need the Hoover stick vacuum to for bigger jobs, then you simply need to purchase an extra rechargeable battery.
