How long does this vacuum last?

I've had mines for about a year and it's still like brand new. I vacuum once a week.

Mine stopped working after 2 1/2 years. Just past the warranty expiration. I would not buy this again.

I have had it for over a year and it is still going strong. For better or worse, I only vacuum about once a month, and I have a highly shedding dog. This vacuum stands up well to the challenge.

Mine barely made it 6mths and I haven't gotten any response from the warranty office. The vacuum I received came w/ one of the wheels off. Even that didn't seem to bother Hoover. I would recommend you do everything you can to buy from a store that will take this crappy vacuum back should you experience similar issues.

I have had mine for about 3-4 months now and it will vacuum the rugs that we have but its not the best. Clean enough for display though. If its a big mess use a regular vacuum. We vacuum our rugs with a regular every weekend just to get the fine particles that have fallen in the rug.

It seems to run a long time, longer than any hand-held I've ever had. I've charged it only a few times, and it's still going strong. I recommend vigilant emptying & cleaning of the filter (easy to do), that way it doesn't lose suction and puts less of a strain on the motor. I really am happy with this one!

About 20 mins. But the nozzle gets plugged up and this vac is worthless buy the Electrolux rechargeable it works.

I can't tell you how long it lasts since I am still using it. Be sure and get the pre-filter which will keep most of the dirt off of this filter.

I'm able to vacuum about 1000 square feet without recharging. I've never needed it beyond that. I really do love this thing!

An hour is plenty. It has an odor but its not Terrible. It can go in cabinets. Vanity, and hardwood floors. Just vacuum excess. More important it does work!

I've had this vacuum for almost two years and I've never had any problems. I was impressed with it from day one and it still works great. I do clean the filters regularly, which is very easy to do.

I have had the vacuum just over a year. The battery (on a full charge) now lasts only about 5 minutes - if that - before significantly powering down. I've been trying to find a replacement, but am not sure what kind to get.

My vac runs for 10-12 minutes. If I forget to plug it back in, it will not have any charge. I still like my little vac, because it does what I want, quick pickup in busy areas without dragging out the heavy house vac. I noticed there is a new cordless out with a much large battery. I would replace the battery, about $50.00.

Each LithiumLife battery will power the vacuum for up to 25 minutes. It comes with two, for a total of 50 minutes. How long is that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLs4iC52Snk

I have had this vacuum for a little over 3 years and I love it!! I also have had household help who have liked it so much they went out and bought one for themselves. I have owned probably 10 different vacuums over the past 50 years and this one is great! G-granny

I have 2 cats and sweep at least weekly. Have had this vac for about 2 years and have changed the bag 3 times. Will be changing the bag again in a month or so.

We have used it to clean our car - running frequently but switched off for a few minutes a couple of times. The overall job took close to an hour and and the vacuum still had sufficient power remaining after the job was completed to go again. This was much better than our previous unit which ran on a rechargable nicad battery which didn't make it to the end of a similar job..

Depends on if u run it until empty (25-30 min). Hardly ever happens with me. But completely un-charged to full charge is about 3 hours. Vacuuming front foyer, main hall, guest bedroom, bathroom and kitchen can be done on less than a charge. That's the downstairs of a 2800 square foot lake house with two beach going, mud going, and water going labs. We love our cordless motor head dyson even more than our 10 year old corded animal and six year old ball animal. We love those VAC's also. 10 year old Vac does the upstairs lair of the cats. Boat and car are a snap with cordless. Stairs are easy with 9 pound machine. Hank Depends on if u run it until empty (25-30 min). Hardly ever happens with me.

We just received our vacuum today. The description says there is a 5 year warranty but the owners guide that came with it says 2 year warranty. I am going to try find out why the difference.

I have 2 batteries. I keep the spare in a kitchen drawer. I use one until it's drained, then put the spare into the vacuum and charge the deained one, my batteries last 15-20 minutes which is plenty of tone to vacuum my kitchen, family room, and bedroom. I use the high setting for vaccuming bathroom caroets and an area rug.I have a long haired dog that sheds a lot. Vac sucks up the fur. Works good on crumbs, dirt etc. from hardwood and laminate floors. I love it!
