We got the LINX at the recommendation of a friend, who did a great demo and explained the merits of an extra battery. It’s really simple: the LINX has a swap-able battery, so when the battery that’s in the vacuum runs low on charge, you swap the run-down battery with a fresh one you grab out of the charger and–presto–you keep right on running the LINX until you vacuuming is done. So, we got the extra battery with our LINX and swapping it the way our friend described works like a charm for my wife and I. It’s a lithium-ion technology battery, so it charges pretty fast, and runs the vacuum a good while (15-20 minutes or so) before the light on the vacuum blinks indicating the charge is running down. Bottom line: when you buy a LINX be sure to get an extra battery. It’s that simple.

I purchased this battery as a replacement for the original which would not hold a charge after about 18 months of light use. I would have thought these batteries would have held up better since they are Li-Ion. Maybe this one will last longer. Overall, I like the vacuum and especially appreciate its portability.
Just got this vac a few days ago and I can’t believe I got along without it so long. I have 4 dogs. My house is 2 story, but pretty small. I have all hardwood floors, but have a large oriental area rug. The battery lasts long enough for me to do my whole house. It gets the dog hair off the rug like nothing I have ever tried. It feels so solid. I love seeing how much dirt and dog hair I have collected in the see thru chamber. It is easy to empty and the battery recharges pretty quickly. This is a good price too- Walmart has this in stock for $30 more. Just can’t say enough about how much I love this vac!
Heavy duty battery that lasts quite awhile. Only needs 3 hours to recharge. Provides enough suction to clean up cat box litter.
Love the battery bought an extra one so my wife could have a spare one charging at all times.
We purchased the vacuum which we found was the best of its kind. We’ve had four other brands and were so pleased with the Hoover we purchased another battery to always have the opportunity of clean our large wood floor areas. We love the fact the battery has a technology that gives full power until fully discharged verses other technology where the motor slows as it discharges. Love it.
Extra battery purchased for my Hoover Platium Linx vaccum. Works great and very helpful having this extra battery when needed.
I bought this for use with my Hoover Linx stick vac, which I LOVE. Cannot live without that thing. The battery lasts about 15-20 min and so I wanted an extra so that I’d always be able to finish a job. I was finding that I’d forget how much power was left in the battery, how much time I had on the battery. Sometimes I’d have 15 min, sometimes just 5. And since I use the vac so much, it made sense to have the back up battery. One thing I’d encourage everyone to do is get a timer switch for your wall outlet. I got the Belkin Conserve Socket F7C009q Energy Saving Outlet which was tendollars on Amazon. Basically, plug the charger into the Belkin outlet and you can push the 3-hr button when you put the battery in. It turns off power supply at 3 hours, just when the batt is fully charged. That way there’s no risk of battery drain.
