Hoover S1120 Hand Held Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum Cleaner customer reviews:
|
Pretty but pretty useless.  
I ordered this one due to Hoover name, good reviews, the fact that it works on wet, in addition to dry, messes, and because of of the attractive blue color. I needed a hand vac for light pick up and specifically to remove the hard-to-reach dust and very fine wood particles left behind in new cabinets when hardware installed. Unfortunately this unit is just too WEAK to effectively pick up even light particles. After several passes, the dust was still there. It also failed to pick up dust on speakers, chairs, and small threads dropped on carpet when sewing.
I did try the "wet" feature by spilling approx. 1 tablespoon of water on the counter. Most of it was picked up but the suction is so weak that there was still a very wet spot on the counter that had to be wiped up.
As mentioned in other review, the filter really is a hassle to empty. It's messy, gets lots of dust in the air (well, a good portion of the little dust it actually picks up, anyhow) and I found it necessary to use my fingers to remove some debris from filter (yuck!) before taking it apart and washing. Air-drying takes several hours, so that's a pain, as well.
I REALLY wish that I'd somehow figured a way to charge the unit before trying it WITHOUT hanging the charging base on the wall. I've returned it for a refund (I'll go for the less pretty, old-fashioned "dry" B&D next time) and now have two really ugly holes in the wall to remind me not to do that again:(.
Anyone ordering this should really consider charging and trying before hanging the unit. I imagine it would be okay if all you ever needed was something to pick up spilled Cheerios, but for real "dust-busting" this one just isn't suitable.
Not bad at all for the price...
A little bit noisy but it does the job.
Couldn't believe the sucking power in a chargeable, light vacuum.
Perfect for parents of a toddler
I use this every day because I have a toddler who likes to drop pieces of food all over my house and car. I took it right out of the package and used it, it was already charged.It works very well. The suctioning power is great. It sucks up Cheerios, peas, spaghetti, my coffee grounds, leaves and misc crumbs. It doesnt have a light to show it is charging and it wasnt great at sucking sand off his car seat, and it won't fit those Gerber "puffs" inside the nozzle, but it is so powerful for everything else, that I will overlook those things. I use it on my boy's stroller and his high chair and they are spotless. It does everything I need it to do and I wish I got it sooner. Five stars.
Terrific!!!
Excellent product. I have used this handvac at work for over 2 years and finally purchased one for at home. Best handvac I have ever used. Holds a long charge and has plenty of pick up power. Cleans easily. Just empty recepticule and occassionaly rinse filter.
Awsome!!
I bought this vac to replace one that I bought at a garage sale for [...]. (The original didn't die--it just got messed up in a utility room fire.) I also bought one for my mother because I was so impressed with my original one. I was afraid the new one just wouldn't be the same because mine was an older model. I was thrilled when I used it for the first time. It's even more powerful than my original. I love everything about it, but a great feature is that you can wash the filter. I washed my previous filter numerous times with no damage. The only thing I must admit: I rarely use it for a wet spill, so I can't comment on that aspect. Would I buy it again? Absolutely!
