Hoover Impulse Cordless Stick Vacuum - Blue

I'm very happy with my impulse! I can use it in the car or in the house. if I don't feel like sleeping I can just take my impulse and run it over the floors. it's handy for getting in corners. Like in the ceilings where cobwebs can be found. It didnt get 5stars because the tools already need replaced after only 6months. And because I wish the battery stayed charged longer.

This is the most disappointing vacuum that I have ever bought. I can use it only a few times before the filter get clogged. After you pull out the ridiculously small filter, you have to wash it and allow the foam to dry for 2 days. Hoover is aware of this flaw since there are multiple stickers reminding you to wash the filter and they even provide a second filter to use while your other one dries out. It is an embarrassing excuse for a vacuum.

I bought this vacuum for quick cleanups on my kitchen tile and family room hardwood floors. It works very well for this. The articulating head makes it easy to get around and under items. The battery does last for 20-25 minutes, as claimed. I haven't cleaned my carpeting with it, but it sure sucked the dog hair off a couple of floor mats in an instant. Why only four stars? As a hand-held, it's not in the same league as my Dyson hand-held. Yes, it does pick stuff up, but the power and suction of the Dyson is vastly superior. But, as I said, I bought it primarily to vacuum floors, not as a hand-held, and I'm 100% happy with it in this respect.

Hauling out my full-size vacuum was an impediment to daily vacuuming, now I vacuum every day with my Impulse. Battery power lasts long enough for me to vacuum my downstairs and upstairs, about 1,500 sqft. It is light weight and very maneuverable. Picking up debris is much better during forward motion than backward, in fact, I am suprised that it won't pick up small pieces when moving backwards. Emptying the debris container is easy but getting dust out of the nooks and crannies more challenging, but I am meticulous about it. Overall, I am very happy with my Impulse, my floors are cleaner, there's much less pet hair and dust than before I used it.

Bought this vacuum this past fall to only be disappointed by its performance. I had bought after reading numerous reviews (for the most part positive) regarding it's versatility and convenient features. There were even articles online to go as far as to compare it to "Dyson's" cordless vacuum. sadly, this product does NOT live up to its description. It pretty much pushes dirt around my house. I find myself emptying the filter/canister 3-4 times thinking it would help, but it doesn't. Nothing is more frustrating than to have to get my broom out every time I turn off the vacuum to lift it and all the sand and dirt falls out to the floor.
