I saw some articles in March about people putting their Christmas lights up in the spring to bring some cheer. I didn’t jump on that trend, but I did decorate the house VERY early this year. I am no longer a purist about waiting until after Thanksgiving. The ambiance of the tree brings a cozy and comfortable glow to our evening that I can’t get enough of.hoover upright in action

However, before you can deck the halls, you really need to clean them. It’s best to get rid of the dust bunnies and give them a new chance to populate while the decor is up for the next 2 months. The timing of this Hoover review was perfect. You may recall that we redid our floors about 6 months ago. You might also notice we flipped our room for Christmas. Cozier for winter.

Arrange Furniture for More Floor Space

I was using a very old and heavy vacuum to clean our throw rug and bedrooms, but it wasn’t the best tool for the job. I’m now a beaming owner of a Hoover ONEPWR HEPA+ Cordless Upright Vacuum. I need to begin by saying what a DELIGHT it is that it’s cordless. I smile every time I use it in the dining room and don’t get the cord all tangled in the chairs and wrapped around the table legs. Actually, it’s become a bit of a joke around here that I exclaim about it being cordless each time I use it – which is daily. Where has this vacuum been my whole life?

easy to use

There are a lot of good things to say about this vacuum. It gives me an old school vibe since it does have a bag. The bag allows you to hold much more dirt and dust then a bag-less vacuum. It’s a good mix of modern and vintage in the looks and it handles great when in use.

hoover upright vacuumThis doesn’t really make sense that I really dislike sweeping, but I enjoy vacuuming. I’ve met my perfect match because I have broken up with my broom since this vacuum arrived. I can sweep the throw rug and jump right on to the hard floors very effortlessly. With the flick of a switch on the handle you can choose the best speed for the surface you are sweeping. It’s good about automatically shutting off if the edge of a small throw rug gets sucked in wrong.

The battery life had me a tiny bit skeptical, but I have been impressed that I can vacuum my whole house at least 2 times with one charge. The unit comes with two batteries so I keep one on the charger and one in my Hoover. It has a handy feature that you can press a button on the battery to know how much life is left. 1 to 4 bubbles will illuminate.

What about the baseboards where the dust bunnies populate and you need the broom to really get a close clean? This brilliant vacuum has these brushes on the sides that reach out and snatch up the dust. I’m so impressed with the details they thought of. I should also point out that it is narrow enough to fit between kitchen chairs and it also fits under the overhang of my lower cupboards so I can get a close sweeping of my kitchen floors too. My broom must be sobbing for my attention because I have not needed it!

I appreciate the attachments for the dust chaser for hard to reach places like our dining room chair rungs. Wow does it get grody in there. The brush and powerful suction has my chairs looking much better. The cookie monster still lives in our home, but the crumbs don’t.

Speaking of our cookie monster, he’s also a very capable cleaner. He got on a cleaning roll the other day and chased the dust away on our TV stand. We had glitter and needles on the couch that my husband quickly cleaned up too. I like a vacuum that my whole family can operate!

  2. I accidentally vacuumed my ring. It was all beat up after I emptied out the vacuum. It was a thin gold band and damaged beyond repair.

  7. Here in the desert southwest we use the vacuum to entrap the occasional scorpion that has made it’s way indoors.

  8. Nothing too weird. The only thing that I can think of is the times I’ve vacuumed up a sock.

  10. The craziest thing that I vacuumed up would have to be my wife’s underwear. I had to take apart the whole vaccum cleaner to get them out.

  12. One time I stopped vacuuming and the cover over the bag was moving.I unzipped it and a mouse ran out. My friend screamed really loud. Pretty sure the mouse was never sucked up (luckily) I’m an animal lover. It’s just my best vaccum story.

  15. When my boys were young, there were always odd Legos, plastic army men and matchbox cars getting sucked up

  17. I haven’t sucked up anything but I’ve gotten bras and underwear caught in it many times where I have to shut it off and pull them out.

  19. I vacuum up small spiders occasionally – ones that are in the corners that I don’t want to touch. It’s easier to vacuum them up then squish them lol.

  21. Not me, but a former roommate once used my vacuum to clean all the wet, moldy leaves off our back porch. Took me forever to figure out my the vacuum smelled musty.

  22. We had one of those bagged vacuums. I went to pull out the bag and it split. All the dust came pouring out.

  23. Got a kite string caught once in my vacuum and it continued to unroll right down to the kite before I was able to stop it. I like to never got that string out of the roller in my vacuum.

  24. The craziest thing I’ve ever vacuumed up was a bunch of fruit flies swarming in the air.

  28. It seems like I am always getting a plastic bottle cap stuck in the vacuum or am pulling a blanket out that was partially sucked in.

  29. I was watching my grandchildren and they decided to “make it snow” with instant oatmeal. It wasn’t a hard to clean up mess but I’ll tell you, that oatmeal went everywhere. Thank you, could surely use this wonderful prize.

  31. I never vacuum up anything remotely interesting – mainly cords that jump out at me while vacuuming!

  34. My son had a little pet frog and it got loose and I accidentally vacumed it up. I almost lost it when I went to dump the vacume canister and it jumped out at me.

  47. I have vacuumed up the normal things, lego’s, socks, spiders. Once I almost vacuumed up a dead baby mouse that the cat brought in, thankfully I realized it was a mouse.

  48. Nothing too weird, bugs like flies, stink bugs, hornets, are probably the weirdest, though not that uncommon.

  50. I vacuumed up the bed spread. Not the whole bed spread but enough of it to break the belt!

  51. First, thanks for the giveaway! I vacuum up dirt, bugs and whatever else that needs to be cleaned up. Doing the carpeted steps is the biggest challenge and that is where getting the ONEPWR Dust Chaser Cordless Handheld Vacuum would come in handy!

  53. I vacummed up my shed keys. Mangled the little buggers too. Had to cut off my lock and replace it.

  54. The most annoying thing is when you accidentally get close to sneakers and suck up the shoelaces. Other than that it is my spider catching machine.

  55. I accidentally vacuumed up my drapes once, but my daughter’s Shopkins phase a few years ago was the worst one so far for the family vacuum

  59. I had to suck up water, when the toilet overflowed and water covered the entire floor, and into the vent in the bathroom. Basically, the vacuum was ruined, and I had to get a new one.

  60. The only thing that I can think of is getting the curtains pulled into the vacuum by accident. It was hard trying to pull them out without pulling them off the curtain rod. At the time, it didn’t occur to me to just shut of the vacuum cleaner.

  63. My aunt’s wig got caught up in it once. She had left it on the coffee table
    to take a nap, I knocked it off and thought it was just dog hair or something.
    Tore that baby to pieces.

  72. I laid my diamond earrings on the dresser instead of putting them away and after cleaning and vacuuming one was gone! I looked everywhere. Even though they were tiny diamonds (but hey, they were diamonds!) I loved those earrings. Finally broke down and sifted through the vacuum bag and Voila! There it was. Lesson learned!!

  74. I once vacuumed up my Mother’s ring and it was terribly bent up. I wore it like that for years until I finally had it fixed. It wasn’t a bagless vac either. So happy I noticed it right as I went over it.

  81. I’ve vacuumed the normal weird stuff, spiders, socks, small toys, food, and of course dirt/dust. I think it’s pretty cool that this vacuum has a cordless hand-held! Amazing! That means even the kids can help!!!

  82. I vacuumed up a piece of string that was coming out of a throw rug. It got all tangled up and I had to keep pulling it out of the vacuum.

  87. I sucked up my cats Favorite cat toy and had to go into the gross dirty bag to dig it out and wash it now I am super careful.

  88. I have purposely vacuumed up Legos when I got tired of telling my kids to clean them up. I had an “oopsey” or a “whoopsey” moment. Tee he he 🙂

  100. We haven’t vacuumed anything unusual, but we have sifted through more than a few vacuum bags looking for something we feared may have been vacuumed up.

  103. I intentionally vacuumed up the longest, largest centipede I’ve ever seen. After putting the vacuum back in the closet, I was terrified that when I opened the door a Giant Centipede would attack me!

  105. With kids, what haven’t I vacuumed up is the question. 😉. Can’t think of anything super interesting at the moment, but we have fished out countless legos, earrings, and all sorts of treasures from the canister.

  107. A scarf that was under the sofa. I pushed the vacuum as far as it would go under the sofa and then the noise!!!! OOPS!
