We are starting a series on cordless stick vacuums and first up is the Hoover BH50020PC Linx Signature Ion Stick Vacuum Cleaner, we put it through a ton of tests and this video will be the results and our review. Links in the description for current prices and lets get started.

So the Hoover Linx is a cordless stick vacuum, but not like some of the other cordless stick vacuums we have tested, in that its shaped a little more like an upright vacuum and it can stand up on its own which is more important to me that I would have initially thought it would be.

One of the benefits of this type of design is the extremely lightweight handling since all the heavier component are toward the base of the unit, and so the actual vacuuming weight at the handle is very low, so it’s a much better choice for comfort than traditional cordless vacuums which tend to wear out your arm quicker.

The Hoover Linx Signature has a brush roll for carpets which can be turned off by the rotary switch on the handle for hard floor vacuuming as well.

The dust bin is a decent size for a cordless, and we found that it was easy to empty with minimal sticking of debris, its also easy to disassemble for deep cleaning.

As far as the pickup tests I was pretty impressed. On carpets it easily tackled all the debris fields from fine debris to pet hair to large and extra large debris, and on hard floors where cordless vacuums tend to struggle it excelled as well, it had enough power for heavy debris like sand and it even did really well with larger debris which was rare for a cordless. This is in part due to the large funnel gate on the cleaner head which I wish more cordless vacuums would adopt.

We also found that its edge cleaning from the side was just a little better than from the front but in both cases it was above average.

I didn’t expect much from it on the deep clean test since most cordless vacuums struggle here but it did get a decent 78 percent in the embedded sand on thick carpet test, and I am interested to see how some of its competitors do here in the next few videos.

We measured its airflow at 31 cfm at the cleaner head, which is fairly impressive, the only cordless vacuum that beat that number are 3 times the price of the Hoover Linx like the Dyson cordless vacuums or the high end Sharks.

Its battery life was also very good for its price range, we measured it at 23:24 in hard floor mode and 19:25 with the brush roll on, which again means it pretty much beats all the other budget cordless vacuums we have tested so far . We also found that it was extremely fast with recharge time, it only took a little over 2 hours to charge compared to about 4 hours for most of the others we have tested.

I read over a lot of reviews and they were mostly very positive, lots of people reported using their Hoover Linx nearly daily for several years, though there were occasional reports of problems within a few months, but the majority of them were very positive.

As far as negative things, there isn’t too much, I mean the Hoover Linx pretty basic, in that there is no hose to pull out and it doesn’t convert to a handheld vacuum or anything, it just does what it does and that’s probably why these vacuums don’t come with any attachments.

Its of course not as well built as a high end Dyson or anything and its not going to have the same sealed system and HEPA filtration as a more expensive vacuum, and it cant deep clean carpet as well as an upright, but it seems like a really solid vacuum for the money, something that you can pull out for small jobs or even take the place of a tradition vacuum in smaller settings and I really think it would have won the budget category of the cordless vacuum competition we did a while back if it was included.

That being said I am about to test 3 very similar vacuums in the next 3 videos and I should have a much better idea of the Hoover Linx Signatures place in the pecking order by then.
