Hoover BH50030 Fourth time's the charm

Hoover BH50030 Fourth time's the charm
This is my fourth hand vacuum in about as many years. The others have been a Black & Decker, Eureka, and Hoover. This Hoover is definitely the best out of the bunch!

Pros:
- Extremely powerful for a cordless vacuum.
- One of the attachments has a brush roller, which really helps in picking up pet hair.
- Uses an interchangeable lithium ion battery, which is handy if you have the Hoover LINX floor vacuum, as you can just swap batteries between the two if one is low on a charge.
-Nice ergonomic handle.

Cons:
- A little on the heavy side.
- By far the most expensive hand vacuum I've ever bought (twice as much as the next most expensive one).
- Dust container is a little hard to get on and off.

Overall, I guess this one of those "you get what you pay for" products. I love it for cleaning stairs and upholstery. Its high cost is mainly due to the lithium ion battery. For those who are not familiar with this battery technology, it's the same kind of battery as found in cell phones. Advantages are that it packs a lot of juice and has no memory effect like the older NiCad batteries. It's expensive but so far worth it.
