Let me begin by stating this is a Portable, Rechargeable, Battery-Powered Cordless, Hand Vac designed and engineered by Hoover. For over 112 years Hoover has been the leader and innovator in vacuum sweeper and floor care technology. So, when I had the opportunity to review this Hoover OnePWR Dust Chaser Cordless Hand Vac in exchange for the product I was excited. I felt confident that this machine was going to be far more superior in performance and quality compared to my last four portable hand vacs. To be honest I never spent over Thirty Dollars for anyone of them, I got what I paid for. YUK!
This Hoover OnePWR Cordless Dust Chaser is a quality-built hand vac. It is so much more powerful then the more 'inexpensive' hand vacs I purchased in the past. Two of my last hand vacs were 'Plug-In', and, the last two battery-powered. There is NO comparison to the vacuuming power. This Hoover is so much more powerful. I do not have to repeatedly go over the same area to vacuum debris. This Hoover Dust Chaser gets it clean the very first time. WooHoo!
So, why do I think this Hoover OnePWR Dust Chaser Cordless Hand Vac is superior:
** POWERFUL HAND VAC – Not having to go over the same area repeatedly to vacuum is a big plus for me. It gets up dust, debris, and pet hair the first time. Using the right tool for each application is the key for a thorough clean-up. Hoover claims the Dust Chaser has two times more suction then its other less expensive portable, hand held vacuum cleaner. This unit has a powerful, digital motor.
** CORDLESS CONVENIENCE – I can take this hand vac anywhere in and around my house for thorough spot cleaning. No hanging, dangling, tripping, electrical cords needed. . What is impressive is that as the battery runs down there is no 'fading', or, reduction of power. If there is a clog, loss of suction, or dirty filter the Power Button will flash. How cool is that?
** MULTI-PURPOSE TOOLS – This Hoover hand vac includes a 2-in-1 Dusting and Crevice Tool along with a handy Upholstery Tool. The Crevice Tool features a 'fold-down' dusting extension for convenience. The Upholstery Tool features micro-brushes for deep down vacuuming. The tool attachments simply click in and pull out when changing.
** LIGHTWEIGHT & SENIOR FRIENDLY – This Hoover Dust Chaser weighs approximately three pounds. It can easily be carried anywhere around my home. I love the fact that it is also 'Senior-Friendly' because it is so light, easy to use in either of my hands. This is a great hand vac for folks like me with Arthritis, or with limited physical abilities. YooHoo!
** FILTRATION - Dual Filtration with HEPA Media and captures 99.97% of dust, dirt and allergens down to 0.3 microns. WoW!. Convenient snap-on, bagless, dirt chamber. There also is a separate enclosure for the foam, washable/rinsable filter.
** PRACTICAL EVERYDAY CLEANING – I use this Hoover Dust Chaser for almost everything my regular vacuum cleaner cannot get to because of tight spaces or the inconvenience of running an electrical cord. It is definitely the 'Go-To' vac for my car. But, I also use this Hoover Dust Chaser to reach deep into my clothes-dryer filter housing to vacuum up the stubborn lint bunnies, sliding glass door tracks, condenser coils under my refrigerator, nooks and crannies under my cabinets and appliances. Super!
** RECHARGEABLE BATTERY – Included with this Hoover Dust Chaser is ONEPWR™ 2.0 Ah Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger. I get approximately 20 minutes of use for vacuuming when my battery is fully charged, and, it takes over two hours to completely charge. The included charger is simple to use and has LED lights, which indicate battery charge status.
** MAINTENANCE – The Dirt Cup is easily removed using one hand. Just press the 'Dirt Cup Release' and push forward at the same time. The Dirt Cup can be emptied in my trash at any time, especially since it is semi-clear so I can tell when it needs emptying. As mentioned earlier the Power Button will flash when the unit is clogged (full). It does NOT hold a big volume of debris so be aware of amount of debris in the Dirt Cup. The first stage Stainless Steel filter can be cleaned easily just by shaking, or rinsing if needed. The Foam Filter is in the back of the unit near the Battery Housing. Simply slide the Light Grey Release Latch to access the foam filter. It can be rinsed thoroughly and let to dry for approximately 24 hours for continued use.
** SUMMARY – I love the convenience, power, and ease of use of this Hoover Dust Chaser Hand Vac. You certainly can buy less expensive units, but will they match the performance and quality of this Hoover? I found out after buying four inferior units and now am a 'believer'. Hoover backs up this unit with a Three-Year Warranty. None of the prior units I purchased ever had warranties, let alone replacement parts available. This Hoover Hand Vac would make a great gift, especially for a Senior, family member, or friend, who has some limited hand strengths and agility.
