Purchase Hoover BH50015 Platinum Collection LINX Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

My old Black & Decker cordless vac, PHV1800 died on me and when I went to replace it I was told it had been discontinued which now I'm not sure is true since it's still listed on their website. So I decided to "upgrade" a little and purchased this Hoover from Amazon for twice the price of the B&D. Although the removable chargeable battery is a nice feature (for other Hoover products yet to come) I prefer the old way of just docking the vac in it's stand while the whole thing is plugged in. Solves the storage problem. This a pain to store; it rolls on it's side and falls off of things. But this power pack is replaceable..the B&D was not easily replaceable. They are both 18 volt, but this seems less powerful. When the power is "up" it just shuts off (after about 15 minutes, not enough to do corners & floors on the first floor of my small house), unlike the B&D which would continue (at less power) for a little while longer. It is less noisy though. It is not as easy to maneuver into tight spaces...the extension nozzle is not long enough and does not stay in place. The dust removal "can" is also hard to remove as it's too wide for most female hands to twist. I have to get my husband to do that. Maybe I should get him to do all of it!!Get more detail about Hoover BH50015 Platinum Collection LINX Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner.
