Hoover HH5010WD HandiVac 14.4

Th battery began to fail after about twenty recharges. Th battery pack voltage after being fully recharged, would register 14.8v. After 30 seconds of operation this would drop to 14v or lower producing very little power, so making the unit effectively...

I bought this from Godfries. It was on special. This worked well only for few months. We only used it to clean the kitchen bench. The battery is useless. You would have to keep it plugged in all the time and still would not hold the power for 1 minute....

As with the other reviewers, I bought the vac about a year ago. The battery won't hold a charge anymore. I should have stuck with my gut and not bought the one pushed by the Godfrey's salesman. Now I need to find a replacement battery or buy a new one.

Worked fine for about two months, with limited use, and then over the next month the battery slowly died until it wouldn't even start at all. Total waste of money, can't get a replacement battery, and Godfreys Noosaville where I bought it didn't want...

Bought this item a couple of years ago and within 18 months the battery was showing signs of deterioration to the point now where I have to leave it and the charger switched on all the time. When I go to use it, the battery lasts for about 1 minute. My...

My Battery Died within a year as well. I read about a trick on the internet where you can spark a NiMH Battery with a Car Battery Charger. positive to positive, neg to neg. I took the battery out of the HandiVac. Sparked the leads a few times with the...

This vac worked ok as a hand vac at the start, although it was not good enough to do the car floor satisfactorily. The battery performance over time is terrible and a real disappointment. Mine does not even turn on anymore. A waste of money in many...

Had no issues with its performance for 2-3 years. Now battery wont hold a charge which is a bit disappointing but found a replacement battery for around $40. Will install myself as Godfreys quoted $70 and had to be sent away. Does what it was made for...

Good for the first six months then the battery life drops from 15 minutes to 5 minutes. We used to use it for a quick clean of two bedrooms with tile floor but now it can't even finish one. We understand the battery life will be shorten after a period...

need to whip it around certain messier areas in the kitchen, laundry, toilets or small messes made by Homer our rescue dog and Bart our newly rescued kitten. As I've stated before in my Reviews, I have no hesitation in commenting on negatives if...
