I love this vacuum, but just one thing....

published

I bought this vacuum recently and love how easy it is to use! I can clean my whole house in 10 minutes without having to plug and replug a chord into all the powerpoints. It picks up everything and is great. However, one thing I'm struggling with is the release button to empty the dust cup. I cannot for the life of me get it open! I've tried everything including putting all my weight on top of it to try and get it open but it won't budge. Any suggestions? I really need to empty its contents but simply can't!!

Best thing ever.

published

The unit was purchased for the wife's hairdressing salon and she says it is the best so far. Tiles, carpet or vinyl are no problem. Excellent suction as hair is a pain to get off the floor but not to this one. Easy to clean!! Thanks to Godfrey's for the sale price.

Just too wonderful for words

published

Very happy with suction power. Light in weight and easy to use without electrical cords being in the way. Ceramic tiles in living areas and 4 bedrooms carpets. Easy and quick to empty the dirt collector compartment and easy and very handy to remove yhe handheld vacuum to clean the window areas and car interior. Cannot do without it.

Does a better job than 'high power' corded vacuums

published

The rotating brush is great for picking up hair and similar dirt that a traditional vacuum will just pass over. It is fairly light and the rollers help to move it back and forth, easy to tilt for changing direction. Used mostly on tiled floors, it has retired the corded vacuum. The charging station holds it well and is easy to drop in and pull out. The chamber can fill up quickly as lots of dust is picked up quickly, hair will get caught in the centre chamber, but easy to remove as it opens up on a hinge. Would recommend.

Only lasts a year

published

I bought this to clean up after kids in between full vacuums with my Dyson. I was initially very impressed. Suction was great and it lasted about 20min before needing charging. Unfortunately, after about a year of using it a couple of times a week for a few minutes at a time, the suction has deteriated so much that I'm ready to put it in the bin!

Very impressed for price

published

Quiet, easy to manoeuvre, very good suction, moderate weight. Using for touch ups between big fortnightly vacuum with my Pullman. Seems to pick up everything from carpets which my last stick vac didn't. Including cat & dog hair. Fills the storage canister with each vacuum but easy to empty. Highly recommend!

Does exactly what it is supposed to

published

I have only had this cleaner for a few days but in that time it has done exactly what I bought it for. I need it to clean up dog fur and bits and pieces on the floor between my weekly vacuum. It sucks up things really well, it charges well and retains it's charge very well. I needed to run it down so I could get it to do a full charge and it took me longer than I anticipated. It is light and maneuverable, has a swivel head and is just the right height. It comes apart easily to empty. I had a similar product once and not only was it hard to get apart and get back together it didn't suck as well. Not sure I would pay full price for this - I got it half price and feel that was good value.

Love This.

published

Have had this for a few months now and use it about 4 times a week. Picks up most things from carpet and tiles. Great little vac for the price. Bought at Godfeys for $99. Would recommend. Only thing I would like is if the dust container was a bit bigger as it has to be emptied fairly often.

Still going great. Suction probably not as good as when new but still good.

Started off great

published

I was very impressed with this cleaner in the beginning but now the battery goes flat after about 10 minutes cleaning even though it was fully charged. So this is pretty useless if I want to do a larger area. It's still great though for a small job and it does pick up dirt really well

Impressive

published

We needed a lightweight vacuum where we weren't dragging the vacuum around with leads catching on all and sundry. This Hoover Heritage 5210 Stick Vacuum has excellent suction and versatility and is lightweight.
Just so easy to use. Have no hesitation in recommending.

Since I wrote my review on the 19th March, 2015 the Hoover Stick Vacuum has continued to perform to our complete satisfaction. Would have to say it is the best vacuum we have purchased for a long time.

Nearly 12 months since we purchased the Hoover Heritage 5210 Stick Vacuum and we are pleased to say that there isn't any sign of wear and tear on the unit components and the battery life is as good as new.

Roller failed after 7 months

published

This works fine for around 7 months (i used probably 7-10 times max!) and now the roller has failed. Called the hoover customer service and they asked me to send the vaccum cleaner to the retail store and repair will take few weeks to come back. So I had to buy a new vaccum cleaner. How brillant their marketing strategy is!

OMG why the hell did I spend so much on vacuum cleaners before???

published

This thing is the best!!!! Its coming out of a person who has always complained about vacuum cleaners before!! I would say don't stop and think just go for it and you will be amazed by how it works... my big ugly huge one can get out of the house now time consuming...heavy and annoying cords and extensions can get the hell away from me lol.... I am so loving it! I'm a carer and I used another one to help my client out at her place but wasn't hoover... I thought that was good just for quick clean ups but with this I can only have this now n not worry about the big ones... yayyy!!!

Vacuums dirt after the Dyson clean

published

Practical lightweight stick cordless, sturdy vacuum. Lasts the full 20 minutes and removes lint, threads and dust after the most powerful Dyson. Unbelievable. Works on both hard and soft surfaces.

The plastic head of the vacuum cleaner started falling apart in 3 months of just usual residential use. Would not buy it!

No idea. I got mine 3 years ago so I doubt it. There will be a equivalent current model out there at the $200 price point

I would go to Jaycar electronics. If you remove the battery and give them a call they can tell you if they have it in stock. Ebay after that if no success

the red button above the light display (that shows recharge) will pop it open to empty. it pops back together easily

Hi Maria,
The red button is the on/off button for the handvac.
To release the dust bin you press down the light just below the red button.
