Hoover ONEPWR Cordless Hand Held Vacuum Cleaner, Battery Powered, Lightweight, BH57005, White

I had to think twice about buying this vacuum as it costs considerably more than the other hand held vacs made by B&D, Shark etc. After reading the reviews I decided that this was what I wanted as the ‘cheapies’ that I had bought previously didn’t last as long as I would have liked. Upon receiving this vac, I could see that it was a quality vacuum. Very well built! I have only had it for a short time but so far it has performed very well. Lots of suction! Two observations - this vac is a little heavy and noisy but you have to expect that in a heavier duty unit.

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.

I purchased this assuming this is being sold in India. There is no mention on the product page that this is imported from USA.First, it was delayed for 3-4 weeks.The charger power adapter only works with 120V. I used a 220 to 120 volt step down transformer adapter. But the battery charger itself was faulty and showed no lights - battery didn't charge.- I contacted support, they first asked to send me photo/videos, which I did.- I was told that the charging doc is not available with manufacturer, it is taking time in production- asked when I would that be available - was told the is no ETA- today, asked again, and the support thought the problem is battery.(Btw, the charger is easily available on Amazon USA)Extremely dissatisfied with this seller/team.

It has an American for which I had to buy a UK converter (from Amazon) to charge it. After one charge something has gone wrong, I suspect the charger. I have ordered an alternative one and am waiting to see if that works. If not the Vacuum is going back !

Read the reviews and it was top rated and after using it I can see why. Powerful and easy to clean.
