Hoover HandiVac 14.4V Wet and Dry

Just out of the 2 years period and can't claim warranty. Worked for a good year, maybe year and a half.

Battery has completely died now. Item will have to be binned.

From the day i went to the shops and purchased this handy vac i thought it was to good to be true and i was right its a total waste of my money. The product has the most unpowerful suction. I would not even recommend to any one i know.

We have a big problem with tiny needle like leaves in out street every autumn and if they are wet they stick to your shoes and then all end up in the car - this has been super for sucking them up off the carpet. I got it specifically because it is a 'wet and dry' style vacuum. Its got enough power to suck em up and its pretty easy to empty too but its easier if I wait for them to dry. Battery like is OK, could be better but overall its been excellent.

I keep it in the kitchen. Quick to clean up any spill wet or dry. The extension gets in the corners. It's good for a run around in the sun room where the wood heater is & where the wood is kept. Suction is great. I just reach for it without even thinking about it. Have had it for a long time & hope it's one that will keep on going.

The suction is good for using on spills on the floors and especially a good vac for using in the car. The battery lasts almost long enough for me to vacuum my whole car, seats and floor mats thoroughly (it ran out when I had one last floor mat to vacuum) can get around the gear boot and handbrake with it too

I have bought 2 of these, the second a few years after the first one which I took to my bolthole. In due course its battery ffailed which was not pleasing but acceptable as replacement was on the web for $50 (not from Hoover). However, the second one which is a newer model with wet and dry has proved to be bad value as the battery has failed after maybe 3 years and the only source is the Hoover site at a ridiculous price.My suggestion - do not buy as they obviously have batteries with a poor life time.

The suction could be a little stronger, but maybe I just think that because I have two fluffy cats and therefore a lot of cat hair to suck up. Has lasted well over the six months that I've had it.. Would definitely recommend, I bought one for my mum too!

It used to work well but it is noticeable that the suction is not as good as how it was 5 months ago. I only use it once in a while in small areas in the lounge room and in the car as we have a bigger vacuum which we mainly use. It is easy to use, light-weight and not very noisy. It is a wet and dry vacuum but I haven't really tried using it with water.

We bought this product about one month ago to use for car cleaning. We did not want to unpack the standard vacuum cleaner and plug it in via an extension chord just to vacuum the car. I have found that while it is only 14.4 volts, it is strong enough to suck dust and little pebbles [2mm] from the car floor.

Received this a a christmas gift after hinting to santa that I needed an upgrade, as the old black and decker was slowly dying. Santa decided to get the biggest Voltage he could find and what a differebnce it makes. get about 10 minutes of use, but it's strong suction makes light work of kid mess and birdseed that would otherwise take over my house. Best thing is that the kids can operate this one themselves, so I'm needing to do it less and less. The frame/holder and tool storage is super handy so parts SHOULDN'T be lost on this model.

This handy vacuum cleaner works well for picking up small debris when I'm not in the mood for a big clean. For a household with kids, it is handy for picking crumbs in the car, under the dining table or just little mess around the house. Requires little cleaning and maintenance.

I probably won't recommend this for any serious use, it turns out that i need to charge it for almost 24 hours atimes, for just a few minutes run, i have abandoned the machine, and only use the window cleaner squeegee that came with it, that is the only item i found useful.

The price for this Hoover vacuum is simply worth it. It is not pricy so anyone who’s looking for an affordable one that’s worth every penny. This is for you. The suction power of this handheld vacuum is good enough to get all the food crumbs left by my kids in our car. It is easy to remove the dirt collected as well after every car clean.

Great when i bought it, was a powerhouse. 6 months later it turned into a gutless machine that lasts 5 minutes and uses power all day and night charging and thats more power than charging a mobile phone constantly! I wouldnt have used it more than 25 times before it went bad.

I like cleaning and this is a must for me. It is handy, not big but quite strong. Perfect for the car clean and little area where it needs vacuum. I wash them after using. Easy to clean/ dry it. Never had an issue and I am very happy with it.

With 2 young kids there are always little spills or crumbs to clean up, this is a very handy little handivac just for that without getting the big vacuum cleaner out. It's easy to use, a little bit heavy for it's size but easy to turn on and comes with handy attachments. The downside is that the battery life is very short and after every use it has to be recharged.

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.

Just garbage
