I bought my Hoover Linx recently and I'm very happy to report this little vac is a wonder. Its very easy to assamble and operate, has great sucction and stores in a small place. My only complaint is the battery life. Yes, it doesn't last long enough to go through my entire 1800 Sq ft home. I'm still happy with the purchase and don't mind so much having to recharge to complete the job.Get more detail about Hoover Platinum Collection Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum.
