Opinions seem to be divided on the usefulness of handheld vacuum cleaners. Some people hope to vacuum their car and take care of pet hair, while others seem to think handhelds are only good for removing crumbs, lint, and dirt. Whichever group you’re in, this device has limited performance capabilities. It won’t give you enough power to completely remove dirt from your car or upholstery, but it will get dust and dirt out of hard-to-reach places in your home. If you plan to do heavy duty, please don’t buy this device.
The Hoover SJ144WSR4 is powerful enough, but it won’t move dirt. The 14.4V motor is more powerful than some of the motors found in other portable devices, and with a 20 minute run time this device outperforms many devices in its class. It is unlikely to make the list of “best handheld vacuum cleaners” simply because its power and usability are limited. I would only buy this device for light dirt, and if that’s the kind of job you need a portable device for, definitely buy it.
The main advantage of this device is the possibility of wet suction. You can easily and quickly remove small spilled liquids, especially with the handy cloth. The long crevice tool and dusting brush aren’t bad either. Like I said, it’s the perfect tool for light duty.
When it comes to battery life, the Hoover SJ144WSR4 can certainly keep up with its major competitors. A run time of 20 minutes is plenty, and sufficient to do the few “hard to reach” jobs around the house or car. The battery LED indicator is also useful and is missing from many other devices.
The price is pretty average, but you can get comparable devices for significantly less.
I am neither convinced nor discouraged by this device, no wonder it has a 3 star average. People hoping to take on tough jobs will no doubt be disappointed.
