Hoover ONEPWR Emerge F18OPSV22Z

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 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.
