The Hoover Linx manages messes like a pro

Can Hoover's $179 stick vacuum compete with more expensive models? You betcha.

The $179.99 ; impressed us with its strong performance. Even Dyson's $499.99 DC59 fell short in comparison.

This model doesn't come with brush attachments or any other special features -- it's ; a stick vacuum. It also doesn’t have as much character as Dyson's colorful DC59.

The Hoover Linx isn't fancy, but it will clean your floors better than most of the other stick models we tested. Combine that with its reasonable price and you have one of our favorite vacuums to date.

Hoover BH50010 Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

The $179.99 Hoover Platinum Collection Linx cordless stick vacuum impressed us with its strong performance. Even Dyson's $499.99 DC59 fell short in comparison.

This model doesn't come with brush attachments or any other special features -- it's just a stick vacuum. It also doesn’t have as much character as Dyson's colorful DC59.

Hoover Linx BH50010 Review

Finishing towards the lower half of the group, the Hoover Linx is a relatively bland vacuum that costs more than its performance would warrant. This model...

This unimpressive and easily forgettable stick vacuum didn't really stand out, only delivering an exceptional performance at collecting Cheerios from the fluffy carpet. If you have a house with medium-pile carpet and a toddler that is constantly making...

Best cordless stick vacuum

Best stick vac for carpet, long battery life, 11-inch-wide nozzle, edge-cleaning bristles, two-year warranty

Expensive, nozzle doesn't swivel, tough to use in tight spaces

It's ok

It's just OK. For carpet I don't think it sucks good. For floor it's better. I'm not to thrilled with it.

Easy To Empty; Easy to Use; Lightweight

Unreliable

Great to clean up pet hair

This is my second one of these, I love them. My other still works wonderful but I wanted one for downstairs. You won't be sorry if you buy one. I can't say enough good about this stick Vacuum.

I've had this vac over 6 years and am thinking maybe I should replace it, but it is still working very well. I like the cordless feature, and easy to empty canister. I have 3 dogs and good for pet hair also. Use it for quick cleaning. Can't use it for...
