Powerful tool in battle against pet hair!,
I am really impressed with Hoover’s new cordless Linx handheld vacuum. We have 3 dogs in our home: 2 chocolate labs and one yellow lab. The yellow lab sheds three times as much fur as the two chocolates combined. You cannot sit down on our sofas without getting fur all over you. And while we have a great upright vacuum, it is huge and not good for when you want just a quick pick up. I’ve been looking for a cordless handheld for a while. I almost caved in to getting a Dyson, and I am so glad I held out!
Pros:
* 18 volt Lithium-ion battery that doesn’t fade (runs at full power until dead). My Black & Decker chain saw, drill and edger all use 18 volt batteries to power them. This little vacuum has some serious power!
* Most vacuums have handheld brush attachments that are powered only by the suction of the vacuum. This bad boy is actually motorized and is great at picking up fur!
* The Hoover Platinum Collection Cordless Pet Hand Vacuum also comes with a limited six year warranty on the vacuum, limited two year warranty on the battery and charger.
* I have to disagree with the other reviewer who did not like having to take battery out to charge it in the charging stand. I for one love this! It is so much nicer to have a small charging stand that the battery slides into that can takes up such little space. If it used a stand that the whole vac plugs into, it would have to stay out always. Now, it gets put up and on the battery stays out (and is next to my B&D charging stations).
* Emptying this vacuum is simple and clean. Some bag less vacuums aren’t designed intelligently and end up making a huge mess when you try to empty their canisters. The Hoover cordless was definitely well thought out!
Cons:
The price is still a bit high, but this is definitely a better value than the Dyson handhelds. I do own a few handhelds that are not cordless, and this cordless blows them away!
Would I recommend this handheld cordless vacuum? Definitely!

|Power brush completes this nicely,
The power brush is a real necessity for this hand vac. I have the older model and ordered the power brush and the improved dirt cup and prefilter insert. The newer one allows better air flow. I now cut a circle of used dryer sheet to cover the sponge filter to catch larger debris since this can be messy to clean the filter otherwise. The cone-shaped prefilter allows more dirt to cling to the filter but the used dryer sheet can be peeled away when the vac needs emptying. There is no need to affix it in any way, it will stay on when it’s inserted in the cone.
The dirt cup has been improved also, it’s been molded so that one can get a better grip on it when it’s time to empty. It still requires a firm grip to get the cup off but that’s necessary for a good leak-resistant seal.
The other attachments include a dusting brush and an upholstery tool with plastic ridges designed to rub pet hair into a ball where the suction can remove it. I needed nothing more than the power brush and the improved air flow that the cone prefilter allows.
The issue with the swing-up attachment seems to have been addressed as
well. It feels more sturdy than the arrangement on the earlier model. You won’t need a rubber band to hold it in place!
If you had been holding out for something better based on the reviews, now’s the time to spring for it, this is a definite improvement over the original. I do NOT work for Hoover!
