Hoover ONEPWR Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Powerful Suction, Lightweight and Compact, Perfect for Quick Pick-Ups, Includes On-Board Crevice Tool, Portable Vacuum Cleaner

I have owned one for several years, and it has been great! Does a very impressive clean-up job.

Just three weeks using this so far.The good:1) reviews said it had the best suction of these small handheld vacuums. I don't know if that's true--not enough experience with these kind of vacuums--but it seems good. 2) reviews said it had longer battery life, and I do like the externally replaceable swappable battery, like my tools have. Even if I don't get an extra OnePower battery to swap in, it's good to know I can replace the battery if it goes bad so this isn't a disposable vacuum. Big plus. 3) I like the design better than some: shape, colours, finish, quality. For something that lives in my kitchen and is going to be in view, that matters.The bad:1) not much wrong with it except the on/off button is stiff and has a very 90 deg edge you press on that's not comfortable. For this kind of work you want to turn it on and off a lot so it's not running while you walk to the next mess. The button should go on and off more easily.The indifferent:1) emptying the contents is easy enough. Front pops off. filter assembly pops out of that front section. empty, snap it back on. Not the easiest maybe, but not bad at all. 2) Weighs a bit more than some others in this class, but better suction/motor and better battery life will add up to a bit of extra weight. It doesn't feel heavy and is easy to use. 3) To charge the battery you remove it from the vacuum and put it on the OnePower charger. This is an extra step compared to just plugging a cord in. But it's fast and easy, well designed, and I don't find it slow or clunky to charge the battery off the vacuum. Plus the charger is a smart charger that stops charging when battery is full so it's not damaging your Li battery with constant amps.

So after running the gambit of handheld vacuums over the years for my office, bathroom, car and finding many that could pick up only the smallest dust and only then if it just landed I decided to try this guy because we've had several hoovers over the years and they tend to be utilitarian workhorses. Pricier than thousands of results on Amazon but you get what you pay for and all. It is not the cheapest, smallest, lightest most ergonomically designed thing when compare to some of the sleek modern offerings which usually suck (by not sucking enough), but I put functionality over form for something like this and its the winner there.Pros:- Suction is very good. Its not a replacement for a full sized vacuum and its not meant to be as just the time to cover a significant space with the little opening would be a slog, but it picks up everything its encountered in our bedroom and bathroom even debris from drywall repairs and wiring led lights in the closet (although limit the drywall dust as it clogs filters easily).- Battery life is very good, we're more likely to let it die because we get used to running it without charging constantly than from completing a single chore.- interchangeable batteries FTW! I don't drink kombuche in tie dye t-shirts but throwing away devices and batteries with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals every 2 months doesn't seem smart if my kid wants to enjoy nature with his kids and finding these mythological consumer electronic recycling locations here is a local store if its something they can make money off or it costs more than the device did. Also I still take pride in maintaining things and actually trying to repair them rather than replacing it like its disposable goods so this is big pro in my book.Cons:With great suction comes great responsibility or at least great power requirements.- The battery and therefore device is heavier than many (most?) handhelds but most handhelds can only vacuum up dreams and wishes while leaving mundane things like dust and particulate to the peasants.- It is loud, as loud if not louder than many uprights which is understandable since the physics of moving a significant volume of air at suction speeds is not trivial and then that must be powered by a motor compact enough to be handheld.So if you want to vacuum up a 12'x12' room don't buy this unless you like to slowly crawl around a 12'x12' room over a 1/2 day.If you want to vacuum up dust, hair, crumbs, bits of paper, or herbs from the counter, car, or bathroom while no one is napping nearby buy this one!If you want a sleek super light weight quiet handheld to do the above try a different dimension where physics works different or maybe buy one of the other ones on amazon and hang it on the wall to look at while you use a broom and dustpan to clean up.

I had a respectable DirtDevil battery-powered before this. The DirtDevil did not have a removable battery. A removable battery is a very helpful feature. Hoover offers a 2 A*h and 4 A*h battery. The 4 A*h battery provides plenty of uninterrupted vaccuuming. Though the Hoover cordless hand vac is my favorite by a very wide margin, my experience with it is less than perfect but well worth the faults. The first 4 A*h battery I bought was very expensive, and though it provided ample operating time between charges, the battery failed a few months later. I liked this vacuum enough that I bought another very expensive replacement 4 A*h battety. It lasted about a year. Even then, it wasn't the battery that failed. A few weeks prior, the vacuum's motor began making a high-pitched squeal. The motor died a few weeks later. Even at that point, the replacement 4 A*h battery was still good. I got 2 years of great service from the vacuum. While the motor burn-out was disappointing, I feel very pleased with the 2 years of service from this vacuum. After my DirtDevil died, I tried two other brands. I immediately got rid of the other two. Despite advertising great suction, they barely even qualify as vacuums. They'd hardly suction up anything. One was the brand that is WORX or has WORX in its name. This Hoover has GREAT suction. The Hoover was /is reasonably priced. The Hoover is easy to use. The Hoover as a very practical design.
