Cleaning efficiency depends on the performance of the vacuum device used. That means there is every possibility of one device performing better than the other if price range is the constant.
When it comes to cordless stick vacuum cleaners, people are worried by their performance since being cordless can mean low power or under powered device. But this is not the case when it comes to Hoover products.
Their budget friendly performance range offers the Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum BH50010 which is a better performer in every aspect than its competitors. This Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner BH50010 review may help one to decide if this is the cordless stick vacuum they are looking for.
Features
Ease of Use
The Linx cordless BH50010 is a lightweight device weighing less than 10 pounds. Also, the vacuum cleaner is low profile and thus can go under low clearance furniture with ease. It has wide cleaning head which aids in cleaning more surface area with a single sweep.
Other than performance related ease, this vacuum cleaner’s body is ergonomically designed, allowing stress free handling. The suction control buttons, battery indicator and the brush roll controls are strategically located to give the users swift access to them.
Powerful suction
Hoover’s powerful windtunnel technology allows more than a single channel of suction which happens to provide clear and fade free suction power. This capability is increased by folds when cyclonic technology is applied.
The cyclonic technology rotates the dirt and debris inside the vacuum cleaner at high speeds which results in accumulation of dirt in the chamber rather than the filter itself. This keeps the filter from chocking for a longer time also increasing the suction efficiency.

Battery that powers the Linx cordless stick vacuum 50010 is of lithium ion type. The best part is, this device uses interchangeable battery with its compatible and independent charger, rather than built in one. This has multiple advantages.
It allows one to buy an extra pair of battery and charger additionally which can be used for prolonging cleaning activity without recharging time when the first battery runs out.
Also, in case of battery failure, the device will not become completely useless. Most vacuum cleaners within this price range miss this very important feature.
