Does what I purchased it for [Posted on 2008-01-25]
I purchased this little hand vacumn for quick clean-ups around the house--grass and outside stuff that gets tracked inside, as well as around the kitty litter box, in corners where dust collect, in front of the fireplace, etc. It does all of these very well. My only negative comment is that it does blow dust when you are in tight spots.
I would recommend it highly and would purchase it again. The shipping was fast as well.
Picks up spills [Posted on 2008-02-11]
This hand held vacum is exactly what I was looking for. It picks up spills from coffee grinds to juice. It has a powerful suction if recharged regularly. I would recomend this product to someone looking for something to use in the kitchen and/or the bathroom for small mishaps. The only draw back is the transparency of the device, you can see everything that you pick up.
Pretty but pretty useless. [Posted on 2008-05-30]
I ordered this one due to Hoover name, good reviews, the fact that it works on wet, in addition to dry, messes, and because of of the attractive blue color. I needed a hand vac for light pick up and specifically to remove the hard-to-reach dust and very fine wood particles left behind in new cabinets when hardware installed. Unfortunately this unit is just too WEAK to effectively pick up even light particles. After several passes, the dust was still there. It also failed to pick up dust on speakers, chairs, and small threads dropped on carpet when sewing.
I did try the "wet" feature by spilling approx. 1 tablespoon of water on the counter. Most of it was picked up but the suction is so weak that there was still a very wet spot on the counter that had to be wiped up.
As mentioned in other review, the filter really is a hassle to empty. It's messy, gets lots of dust in the air (well, a good portion of the little dust it actually picks up, anyhow) and I found it necessary to use my fingers to remove some debris from filter (yuck!) before taking it apart and washing. Air-drying takes several hours, so that's a pain, as well.
I REALLY wish that I'd somehow figured a way to charge the unit before trying it WITHOUT hanging the charging base on the wall. I've returned it for a refund (I'll go for the less pretty, old-fashioned "dry" B&D next time) and now have two really ugly holes in the wall to remind me not to do that again:(.
Anyone ordering this should really consider charging and trying before hanging the unit. I imagine it would be okay if all you ever needed was something to pick up spilled Cheerios, but for real "dust-busting" this one just isn't suitable.
Not bad at all for the price... [Posted on 2008-06-24]
A little bit noisy but it does the job.
Couldn't believe the sucking power in a chargeable, light vacuum.
Perfect for parents of a toddler [Posted on 2008-09-23]
I use this every day because I have a toddler who likes to drop pieces of food all over my house and car. I took it right out of the package and used it, it was already charged.It works very well. The suctioning power is great. It sucks up Cheerios, peas, spaghetti, my coffee grounds, leaves and misc crumbs. It doesnt have a light to show it is charging and it wasnt great at sucking sand off his car seat, and it won't fit those Gerber "puffs" inside the nozzle, but it is so powerful for everything else, that I will overlook those things. I use it on my boy's stroller and his high chair and they are spotless. It does everything I need it to do and I wish I got it sooner. Five stars.
