  Surface Sweeper, not Blower

  • Tech Insider Network Member
  • Top 100 Contributor

  --- SETUP --- The setup for the Hoover Surface Sweeper is quick and painless. You have 3 components to work with and they are all self-explanatory as to where they go. The surface sweeper itself isn’t that heavy but definitely feels sturdy and durable. --- FEATURES --- The key feature of this sweeper is that it is cordless and that the included battery can be used with other products of the Hoover ONEPWR family. The battery also has a power indicator so that you know when it’s time to change or recharge the battery. --- PERFORMANCE --- The performance of this device is ok. There’s a reason that the name of it is a hard surface sweeper and not a blower. It is strong enough to push things that are on flat surfaces but don’t expect it to handle your entire lawn covered in leaves. --- EXPECTATIONS --- The product meets my expectations. Operation-wise, it’s simple to use. After installing a battery, there’s an on and off switch. The wind begins to blow and aim where needed. I use it to clear my surrounding home area of trash and debris. Because of it’s lightweightedness, I also take it to work to clear small pebbles and leaves from the traffic during my morning post. It has a small footprint and it is easy to store. --- APPROVAL --- I highly recommend this product for people who may have to clean up an area but have trouble bending over or may want to do it faster than sweeping.

  lightweight for light jobs

  The Hoover ONEPWR Cordless Hard Surface Sweeper is part of the model line which includes several Lithium Ion powered devices. The battery will power any of the other devices in the Hoover ONEPWR line (I also have a well reviewed cordless vacuum). This Surface sweeper comes with a smaller capacity battery - only 2.0 Ah, more on that later. As for assembly, it was fairly easy with three parts which fit together in addition to the slide it in battery pack. The unit only has one speed which is a bit disappointing, frankly a bit more in the RPM/velocity with a larger capacity battery might better solution. The "surface sweeper" is really a very lightweight (both in actual weight and also unfortunately in performance) leaf blower. I used this in my garage which gets a little sandy and during the fall, a few leaves in it on a windy day. This unit will take care of both, but it struggles with velocity and yields a mediocre blow. A few leaves or pine straw cleaned up fine (especially on a fairly smooth surface), but it takes a bit of skill to do anything more than that. A pile of twenty or so maple type leaves will be a bit more of a struggle, do-able but not really overly efficient. Another thing I found odd was the placement of the air intake, which was on the back of the unit. It takes a bit of adjustment as your shirt can get easily sucked into the intake (no worries though it is not a safety issue since the motor is not very powerful and the grate protecting object intake does the job). I guess the air intake is designed in a way to be able to accommodate the battery pack, but I still found the design a bit strange and required me to keep the unit on the side vs. in front of me. Pros: - Cordless - Lightweight Cons: - Not very powerful - Comes with a lower capacity battery in comparision to other ONEPWR devices - Air intake placement

  Great Tool for Quick Blowing of Patios/Porches

  Hoover has an available smaller-sized blower that is great for simple tasks and without the hassle of cords. It's the ONEPWR Cordless Hard Surface Sweeper. This is no broom. It's a mini blower. It comes with the unit itself, a ONEPWR Lithium ION battery pack, battery pack charger w/AC adapter, extension attachment, end attachment, and paperwork. PROS: ----------- * Like some other brands out there, Hoover has created an entire line of tools that operate off of one size battery attachment. This can be convenient; however, multiple batteries may need to be purchased as they wear out over time. This is a better option than having the battery built-in to the unit. No cords! * Very portable and lightweight. It can be propped up in a very small space with the charger being stored anywhere. It weighs only 4.8 lbs so it shouldn't be a strain even to smaller/shorter people out there that can't use heavy equipment. * While using, it has a comfortable grip. The end of the handle bends down which helps with it not being pushed back off your hand while in use. * Charge time for a completely empty battery is not bad. I was unable to monitor to the minute it completed, but did notice it took less than 1h 20m to recharge fully. * There is a battery charge indicator on the battery itself which can be checked on or off the unit. Between 1 and 4 dots indicate charge remaining. * There are 2 attachments - the end attachment and the long piece. You will use the end piece regardless; however, you can attach it to the long piece OR the base unit itself in the event the longer extension is not needed (ie. blowing off steps while going up the staircase, the short version may work better). * The ON/OFF switch stays on and off easily and can't be easily reversed as the sliding switch takes some force and clicks into place well. CONS: ----------- * For those that like for these tools to be hung, this tool is absent of that option. The only way for it to be hung would be for 2 "arms" shoot out about a foot from the wall spaced about 8" apart, you might be able to hand upside down (motor on top) since the end of the unit flares out. * The unit only has 1 speed blower. Having a speed 1/2 as strong for lighter-duty work might be useful and extend the use time. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: ----------------------------------- * This package comes with a 2.0Ah Li-ION battery but a longer-lasting 3.0Ah can be purchased (and recommended). * Hoover claims a 16-minute run-time with the 2.0Ah battery; however, I was only able to get MAX 14:45 out of mine and that was with the unit not moving. Times ranged from 14:30 to 14:40 mostly. Moving the unit will cause some side-to-side force on the rotating parts, so I would expect even further of a loss of time of use when using for a real job. This will usually be enough time for small jobs; however, if more time is needed, that extra battery will come in handy. * Keep in mind that this unit is NOT for serious yard work or for blowing leaves in the yard which it still can do to an extent. This unit is better used for maybe garage floors, patios, tennis courts, basketball courts - anything that has light debris on it that needs to be removed. And you need to be able to finish the job in 14 minutes if you only have 1 battery. * The charger has an AC cord length of 6 feet. It is not USB. CONCLUSION: =================== Overall, a nice product for the use that it's intended for - simple jobs that don't require a ton of air force or time. Since the product can be placed in an upright position, it can go just about anywhere out of the way. It's really great for the Fall when leaves can sometimes be annoyances on front porches or rear patios and using a broom is a hassle especially when trying to get behind grills, furniture, table legs, etc. Then if you have other Hoover cordless ONEPWR products, you may also rotate the battery(s) between products which is a convenience. My only gripe would be to give customers an original 3Ah longer-lasting battery instead of the 2Ah battery... and just have one battery for everything, giving everyone the quality of longevity from the start.
