item ran for 14.02 minutes. After 2 months of use I retested the running time of the vac , also on "hard floor" mode. I believe this is the vacs least "power hungry mode. The item ran for 14.03 mins. Now given that it's stated both in the specs, and on the box that the vac came in, that the vac's running time is "up to 35 minutes of run time", why I am I only getting around 40% of the claimed run time? I have considered buying a second battery for the vac, but the cost of this was $149. I do not recommend this product

This vac performed reasonably well on both hard flooring and carpet. Suction is adequate and I found battery life to be quite good with the 4ah… Read more
battery. Power head was good and operation in general was pleasant enough to use. Nothing great but good enough for what you could expect at this price. Came with some useful attachments also. Now to my dislikes.
If you find satisfaction in items built well then this vac isn't for you. Plastic mouldings are very average with poorly joining parts and what I can only describe as a very cheap feel in the hand. All attachments are of very poor quality with the feel of a cheap toy you'd get in a show bag that you wouldn't expect to last the trip home. Visually it looks good in online videos but once I unboxed it I felt the need to advise my wife that it's clearly a poorly built product and to be gentle with it.
Its ok for a quick clean up but longer than then a few mins I found it to be to top heavy and uncomfortable to hold.
I bought this vac as I had previously owned the evolve which failed in within 12 months so already had a compatable battery so could use both for longer run times with the emerge.
On the second day we owned this vac the power head completely failed. I wasn't at all surprised was only too happy to return the Hoover to replace it with another brand.
I should add that my first cordless vac was a Bosch that I loved and lasted 4 years of heavy use only to be replaced by the Hoover emerge after the battery was worn out. The emerge was ok but also felt poorly built and would block up if you even thought about using it, when that failed I bought the evolve with the delusion that it would be good enough for the inbetween clean with our corded vac with the added benefit of having a second battery. Went back to Bosch for a cordless and have been very happy.

Last December I bought a robot vacuum cleaner that did a fantastic job but sadly for only one week. It couldn’t be repaired therefore I got a full… Read more
refund. I decided this time to buy a stick vac. Using the famous “D” brand as a reference I tried several well-known brands and was not impressed. Finally I came to this product and apart from the price, I liked the size of the motorised head and above all that the battery is not inbuilt but detachable similar to those used in power tools. The floor head is motorised, the rollers are easily removed for cleaning them and has a bright LED light. I can vacuum the ground floor of the house that has carpets, hard wooden and tile floors, in about 30-35 minutes. Using the default power setting it ends up with one bar of charge of the 4Ah battery. Note: At $149 a spare battery is double the price of an equivalent battery for a power tool. This is unacceptable.
