Hoover Cruise Cordless Lightweight 2-in-1 Stick and Hand Held Vacuum Cleaner, BH52210PC, Silver

update: I did try to run cruiser first and then use Dyson. Dyson picks up a little more in term of dirty ( not much). But when I pour baking soda first and start vacuuming baking soda, Dyson is a winner. Dyson picks up a lot more baking soda than cruiser. With Cruise, I vacuuming at least once a day and always pick up a full bin. It is so convenient to carry it up and down to vacuum the entry way. I really enjoy the clean carpet daily now. Like other review indicates, the material looks cheap. I hope the unit will last long time. I have my old Dyson for over 10 years now and it still works very well. I hope this one at least last longer than Robotics. =======================================================================================================I don't usually leave product reviews unless I am very happy with the purchase. My condo is only 1300 sq but I own 5 vacuums. Two of them are Dyson. One is old animal DC25 and one is hand held cordless. I also have bissell shampooer, robotics 7 and now hoover cordless cruise. I bought cruise cordless because robotics is broken after 1.5 years in service. We have three cats and a dog. Robotics was running on the daily basis and still picked up a full bin every day until it runs over my dog poos one day and it stop. Robotics customer service was offering me a deep discount for the same unit but I decided not to go with it. I am just tired of looking for robotics almost every day to see where it stuck and pull hairs out of it every other day. It was nice to have a robotics that running on the daily basis but once a month, I also need to replace some parts to get it working perfectly. Our home has entry way and then stairs right after the entry way. Once we come up the stairs, everything is on the same floor. Robotics works perfectly on the second floor. With a dog, it's hard to keep dirty out of the entry way and stairs when we have to walk our dog at least three times a day. That's why we need something lighter and easy to use. I was researching between the hoover cruiser and the latest Dyson cordless few months ago. After reading many reviews between Dyson 8 and the hoover cruise cordless, I was leaning to Dyson but don't feel like spending $400 for another vacuum. So I purchased a dyson cordless hand held from amazon. The unit is very lousy but it works well on the entry way and stairs. It only comes with two attachments but my old dyson attachments also fit on this hand held. The hand held is easy to pick up small stuff around pets' food area and it also work in our cars ( thought it doesn't work perfectly) but I have to be on my knees all the time when I use it.Last week, Hoover Cordless was sales on amazon. it was less than 100 with taxes ( CA). I need something that is easy to use since my robotics is gone now. So I ordered it and figured that I can always return it if I am not happy with it. I was very skeptical when I received the unit. It only took me 5 minutes to put everything together. The material of this vacuum looks cheap but it is also very light to carry around the house. The instruction indicates 6 hours charge before the first usage. I charged it for two hours and then I started testing it. The vacuum was very weak after two hours charges and I was ready to put it back to the box and send it back to amazon but I decided to charge it over night. After over night charge, it only last for about 5 to 7 minutes which is shorter than my hand held dyson. I put it back to charge for another hour while I was walking my dog. It works a lot better this time. Hoover cruise is not that loud and you would think that it doesn't clean as well as Dyson until you take a closer look at how much dirty it picks up. It is very easy to use. It only took me 5 minutes to vacuum the entire 1300 sq home and I take this vacuum to the entry way easily. This vacuum actually picks up more hairs between the carpet and baseboard than Dyson. I vacuumed once this morning and one more time when I got home tonight. It picks up quit a bite both times and my carpet is very clean tonight. I have been thinking to use my hoover to run the entire home once and then use my Dyson animal to run it again to see how much Dyson will pick up. I will update my review once I complete the experiment.What I like about Hoover:(1) The Hoover has a lever that can be pushed to hold the on button in the on position. I read from one review that it doesn't bother them that muchabout holding down the on button all the time. For me, I can't stand it. This is definitely a big plus for Hoover. My finger is always hurt when I have to hold down the on button all the time.(2) Maneuverability: It works well on both carpet and tile floor. At beginning, I thought the Hoover cruise swivels unexpectedly -- it doesn't always go where you want it to go but it works very well to pick up things between carpet and base board. It picks up dirty easily than the hand held Dyson and my old Dyson animal. One of the reasons I bought Robotic is that none of my vacuum can reach underneath of my bed and one of my cats spends most of her life down there. It has a lot of hairs. Hoover actually can reach underneath of our bed.(3) Noise: Both my Dyson hand held unit and old Dyson are very loud even with hand held. My dog always runs away when I turn on Dyson. She seems ok with Hoover cruise. Because Hoover is not that lousy, I thought the suction is that as powerful as Dyson until I check dust bin.(4) Dirty bin: Dyson is easier to dump the dirt out of the bin but the dirty bin of my hand held doesn't seal very tight and you have to push it in. There were few times that Dyson bin just opens itself and all dirt came out of the bin. The additional filter inside of Hoover bin makes it harder to dump dirt out of the bin but I don't have any problem of dirty bin seal with Hoover.What I like about Dyson(1) Appearance: Dyson's products always have the best look and best design but it also comes with the price tag. I have my old Dyson for years and it is very solid built. Hoover cruise cordless seems relatively cheap look comparing to Dyson.(2) Battery life and charge: Dyson battery lasts longer and charges quicker than hoover. I don't charge my hand held a lot. Once It is charged, it lasts for a while even you don't use it. On the other hand, Hoover seems losing the power even the unit has not been used. Battery is or will be the core technology of the Dyson since they are building ecar. I expect more of their new technology from their battery.

EDIT: After a few months it gave out. It started sounding like it gasped for air and would TURN OFF so I tried calling tech support but, if I am remembering correctly, they don't have weekend hours so I emailed them. They offered to send me a new brush. Yes, a brush! I cleaned it out and it worked okay for a little while and sure enough it started doing the same thing, I called tech support during business hours and they told me to clean it out, I told them I did. They then said I'd have to take it to a customer service center. As someone who works and doesn't have time to deal with taking time off to take in a vacuum in to be looked at, I just didn't bother. I lose more money taking off to get it fixed than what I paid for it. It gave out at about 8 months. Save your money, this vacuum is horrible. I have a Bissell that I have had for years and has not given me any trouble at all even with all pet hair it deals with. This vacuum is a PIECE OF JUNK! Hoover, you are on my never buying again list!So far, everything is great. I have 9 cats, personal and foster, and a dog. Hair can get everywhere! It worked great on hardwood floors and on my carpet. The pet attachment works great to remove hair from the couch, and cat tree. I must admit, I hate the wall mount, it feels like one small bump and the vacuum will come right off. I also don't like the handle, maybe it's the way I hold it and not a design flaw but my thumb rubs on it and I was starting to think I was going to develop a callus. Will update if anything changes.

I mulled around for weeks deciding on whether to buy this or not. Checked reviews on other websites beside Amazon and it had some pretty good reviews. It is a little pricey, but not any where near the cost of a Dyson. We have 2 Dyson uprights that do a great job around the house. We also have a Ryobi hand-held vac that does a great job, good suction and easy to empty and clean and I was able to use my batteries I use on my other Ryobi tools. Problem is you are constantly bending over to vac stuff up. We have a a plant that sheds leaves/flowers on our Lanai and my wife usually has to go out and sweep up at least 3 times a day. The leaves clog the Ryobi pretty fast. Wasn't sure if this vac would pick them up without clogging. Well, I am here to say that this Hoover cordless vac does a GREAT job, not just on the Lanai but I use it around the house just about everyday picking up crumbs on the kitchen floor and all that weird stuff our 2 little dogs bring in from the yard. It has pretty decent suction for a cordless and I was really surprised at what this thing picks up on bare floors and stuff off the rug. The cordless concept is great because you can buzz around the house and it is great for quick clean-ups. It is actually sort of fun. We use our other vacs to do a more thorough clean-up. Broke a bulb on the kitchen floor and it picked up all the small pieces without a problem. Get downpours here in Florida and occasional little stones on the Lanai from the roof tiles, no problem, picked it all up. Haven't tried it on the car floors and don't think it would be as good as my wet and dry vac. Glad I bought it and would definitely recommend it to do quick clean-ups around the house.

I love this vacuum for is suction, maneuverability and ease of use.

Es ligera pero resistente, trae los accesorioa necesarios parauna limpieza total de la casa. Aspira hasta el polvo mas fino y sirve para pisos duros y alfombras. Por au tamaño no aspira cosas medianas como grabdes papeles o trozos de plastico pero par cavello, polvo, tierra y pequeños trozos de comida esta ideal. Es muy manejable y ligera, se limpia facil de su contenedor pero para de verdad dejarla limpia hay que desarmarla (es muy sencillo de hacer) a consiencia y pasarle un trapo humedo porque el polvillo entraa todos lados. Sstoy muy satisfecha con la compra, su bateria dura para hacer todo la limpieza delos suelos y aspirar una sala normal. Sera como unos 40 o 45 minutos de uso.

Could not barely even use battery would not charge returned and had to pay shipping and waited months for return of funds as they didn't know where it was. Horrible vacumn

Desde nueva la potencia de la aspiradora la notamos muy baja, para limpiar el cepillo hay que cortar con tijeras los cabellos que se van acumulando lo cual lo hace poco práctico. A los dos meses de uso empezó a perder fuerza en la potencia hasta que ahora, 7 meses después no succiona prácticamente nada incluso al apagarla se regresa la basura que no llegó al depósito. No la recomiendo nada,es una muy mala y alta inversión tirada a la basura.

works well for a compact size. does well on furniture too.
