Living in a house with three children and a dog leaves me with plenty of opportunities to put my vacuuming skills to use (just see the video below). Each and every one of them leaves their own unique messes. For instance, my son is the king of Pop Tart crumbs, my daughter is the queen of spilled cereal and of course our crawling infant can shred a newspaper more quickly than no other. Thus the need for a lightweight, cordless vacuum.
The Hoover Cordless Stick Vacuum has been absolute pleasure to use for our small mess needs. It’s lightweight frame makes it easy for me to grab it out of the broom closet and suck up a quick crumbly mess without having to drag out the full size upright we have. We’ve found that the suction capabilities work perfectly for light messes on rugs and our hard wood flooring but not quite so well for the tough jobs of bedrooms. Just as an added bonus, the new Platinum Collection has a nice and modern look with a silver and black body style.
Hoover Stick Vac Features
- Light Weight Design – less than 8lbs
- Cordless for easy transport from room to room
- LiNX 18 Volt Lithium Ion battery charges in just 3 hours
Overall, I think it’s the perfect tool for small areas, small messes and just a quick clean up of daily dog hair shedding. We use the vacuum about twice a day and only need to recharge the battery once per week. After 2 weeks of use we did notice that large amounts of dog hair will clog the suction entrance and should be cleaned out frequently to help prevent this.

The Platinum Carpet Cleaner is what we could use most, with 2 year old and a dog…things get really dirty .
I like that you can choose whether or not to use the brush , or just use the suction.
The product most needed in our home is a good working vacuum, our cheapy vacuum blows! LOL so I’d say Lightweight Bagged Upright

From Video — I love how it’s cordless! I had one that had a cord and it was pretty cheap and you could tell by how it “worked
also I like how you didn’t even know there was dog fur and it picked it up! I wonder what’s lurking in my carpet.. This would be great for cleaning up after baking!
