Hoover BH50030 REVIEWS

Hoover BH50030 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! 


Hoover BH50030 Quality handheld vacuum.
Excellent handheld vacuum. Powerful suction and well built product. My only complaint is the high price. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. 


Hoover BH50030 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!

Hoover BH50030 Best Price, Powerful vac for a good price!
We purchased this vacuum right before the holidays, when we knew there would be ample opportunity for us to put it to use with all of our company. We had been debating about purchasing a Dyson handheld, but could not quite get over the price of those machines. This Hoover product, while relatively expensive for a handheld vac, has exceeded all of our expectations. It is VERY powerful, doing a great job even on the stubborn dog hair on our couch. The attachments are very useful and we have found that it holds its battery charge well. I appreciate that it runs at full speed until the battery dies, no waning performance toward the end of the charge. It is easy to clean out the filter and empty the dirt collected right into the trash. If you are looking for a handheld vac with great power, performance, and one that seems to have staying power, this is the way to go! 


Hoover BH50030 Best Buy
As an owner of the same Hoover brand LINX model stick vacuum (which is also excellent), I had no problem buying this hand model when my old B&D bit the dust due to a no-longer-rechargeable built-in NiCd battery. The removable,18 volt Lithium battery power packs in these vacuums are great. Long run time, lots of power and quick to charge in their separate charger. You can buy additional batteries also. The two main problems with other hand vacuums is a built-in, non-replaceable battery and lack of power/run-time. All of these issues are solved with this Hoover LINX vacuum. The 18 volts is really strong.
This hand vacuum "does the job" with or without the rotating brush head. My wife used it on the carpeted stairs using the brush head and was impressed by the job it did. It has her 5 star approval.
Buy this model as it has the rotating brush pet head as well as a standard nozzle. Note:( NOT for direct on-pet use)
