Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum

Hoover linx cordless stick is an upright vacuum cleaner and according to the manufacture this is actually the only wireless vac that comes with their WindTunnel technology (which uses two tunnels to both trap and put away the collected dirt thus making less dust "leaks") + the cyclonic filtration. It is light in weight (7.3lb) and has an 18V rechargeable battery as the main power source.

Below are its main hardware details in brief...

*. Comes with the brush-roll feature which makes the transition from hardwood surfaces to rugs or carpets easier.

*. The design looks professional and because of the color selection it looks like an "alien" gadget (looks really good to be).

*. The brush roll on/off switch is mounted on the gripping section (close-by the fingertips).

*. There is a dedicated indicator for notifying about the remaining battery life.

*. The cleaning head is wider (around 11in) but at the same time looking slim and as a result easy to reach places such as under couch, cabinets, etc.

*. And according to the surface the hoover linx stick vac adjusts its height automatically.

*. The handle is fold-able.

*. Comes with a Lithium Ion batter (removable).


*. Does not use bags (ready more about bags and bagless products from this henry vacuum cleaner post).

*. Includes the edge cleaning feature for enhanced cleaning on corners and edges.

*. The price is reasonable when considering the hardware.

*. The warranty comes in two different forms - for the main unit (vacuum, motor, etc) 6 years and for the battery 2 years. Both are limited warranties.

Some User Feedback

Even though a bit unusual for the cordless products which tend to be more light-duty suitable... which is of course true to the Linx vac also but still it has some powerful vacuum suctions thus not only debris/dust but will remove animal hair as well. The dust-cup is pretty easy to use and even the handle folding is useful but when it comes to cleaning stairs it can be a bit troublesome sometimes, but not a huge concern anyway.

Buy directly from Amazon!

And one important thing about the battery - do not put it inside of the charger for longer period of times (unless when you need to charge it) since could be a design flow, it can destroy the battery completely. So far this is the biggest concern. However since the customer is given 2 years of warranty this won't be a huge problem but avoiding is always the best option as anyone would agree. And once charged the batty can last longer durations when comparison with some other poor products.

And as mentioned, from hardwood to rugs, carpets, tiles, etc the overall output quality is excellent and when it comes to reaching under areas the cleaning head won't make any problems but as you reach further more (to the middle section of the handle) where the dust cup is located (bit thick) will limit your reach on some cases.

It has a headlight that is pretty useful on darker areas (especially under beds). The nozzle has the swivel feature which helps to both navigate and smoother rotations as well.  So as a conclusion, when considering all the pretty useful features the hoover linx cordless stick vacuum packs with, it has a bit higher price for its size but it is easy to use, has a good battery life and to be honest I don't think it would hurt to call it as one of the best stick vacuums that you can find these days either. A highly recommended product.
