IMO, if a vacuum has the word PET anywhere on it, 2 things MUST BE TRUE. 1. It must be a full HEPA system. 2. It MUST be able to handle a lot of hair and fur without significant tangle or blockage.
It looks like it has great performance, but my two most important features on a vacuum are incredible suction and fully-sealed HEPA filtration. Air quality is key, in my opinion. I liked this one until you got to the filtration part, where it's clearly not sealed. You'd think for the price of this (and Shark having similarly priced units that DO have the fully-sealed HEPA) that this one would have that also. Thanks for another great video that covers all aspects of a vacuum's features! Always most helpful!
That's a definite deal breaker for asthma and allergy sufferers. It's also lazy engineering on Hoover's part. How hard is it to make a sealed HEPA system?? It can't be that difficult
Hepa for vacuums is required for anything other than robot vacuums for indoor environments. And definitely for the price of $350 it should have hepa filter. Also looks like the LED isn't that great.
I tested this vacuum too. I wasn't impressed. I found small dirt on carpet tends to get scattered. The lack of a Hepa filter is a deal breaker for a $320 pet vacuum.
I have been following a lot of your videos and feel like you are someone I can trust when it comes to independent reviews. One thing I always hope you do is more comparisons with competing products. If I'm watching this, I'm probably looking to see which one I should buy. for that I would like to know how this is better/worse in certain areas compared to the others.
I will never buy any vacuum without a fully sealed HEPA filter. I got issues with allergies and asthma around the house and i found out that using a previous Hoover vacuum without it was creating a lot of issues. Ever since i stopped using it my family's health improved. Might be coincidence of course, but i can't know so i won't risk it.
already have stick vacuum but nice to know hoover keeps improving their products. Already got an upright vacuum of theirs that i love. Shame i already got a eureka stick vacuum, though it was a present and cant beat free lol
It can stand on its own, but the directions that came with it dont reccomend it be left standing for too long or nesr anything that it fould break or injure. It also comes with a wall mounted bracket for when you're not using it. Honestly, the motor was pretty heavy, I could see it falling over easily.
I still have my original one power vacuum from 3 years ago. This one definitely seems like a good option considering I just bought a new battery for my old one recently.
Another fine review. Having owned a Hoover vac, I'm reluctant to buy another after dreadful customer service trying to buy spares. Hoping others have had positive experiences with them.
Ha! Was here to say the same. Their customer service is horrible in my experience. I couldn’t get anyone over the phone and tried their quick online chat which had me waiting for an hour. They will give you a runaround instead of sending a replacement🙄learned my lesson
Hoover is owned by TTI (makers of Milwaukee, AEG, Rigid, Ryobi tools). This means they know how to make a good a good battery. But absolute shame on them for not using one of the already common tool battery lines. For the record TTI also own Oreck, VAX and DirtDevil. TTI companies are mostly designed separately but built in the same factories
I really like your very informative reviews especially when doing smoke and particules in a room tests. I wonder what your thoughts on vacuums with water filtration for example "thomas aqua plus" or "karcher ds 6"?
So is this essentially the exact same as the PET but just with less included batteries? As far as my research has shown that is the case. I don't think it's worth deeming them as separate products if the only difference is accessories it comes with. If the motor and floor head are the same then it's the same product. The PET+ isn't even listed on their website either, and the standard PET appears to include the same attachments even if you don't get the dual-battery package.
Now i wonder how they got away with dual brush without shark suing!? I thought they owned the patent on that. Interesting, though I'll keep my hepa filtered and basically the same cordless from Shark. Thanks VW!!
I looked at their patent a while back when a Ryobi vacuum came out with a soft roller. I believe one of their claims includes a specification of roller size, if I remember correctly it's something like the soft roller is 0.5-0.8x the diameter of the main roller. The roller on this vacuum looks bigger than the ones on shark vacuums, so if I had to guess I would say that's how they're getting around it
Oh no I’m thinking about buying the emerge pet (without the “+”) because it’s currently on sale from 329$ to 212$ on amazon do you have a video on that One? Also it seems like the battery life being 24 mins on high power would be a con for me and the lack of hepa filter
How do you feel about this verus the Samsung Bespoke Jet? I got the Samsung Bespoke Jet for around $280 before tax. Didn't know if you thought they would be the worth the upgrade?
Its seems with both hoover and Bissell are following sharks design. Both are putting out vacuums that appear to look and have features that have been on sharks for a long time
I can't help but notice just how similar this vacuum is to the Shark Vertex stick vacs, almost as if Shark themselves were a drop ODM for it and manufactured it for Hoover. It's just waaaay to similar imo, even the bar and latches look like Shark design and the handle as well with just a little more edge to it.
Hi, you seem to be an expert on the field, so asking my wife's question here. Do yo know by any chance if Dyson will release the new V16 (with dual laser head) on March 1st as rumored? Thanks.
I hate how Hoover uses that similar sponge style filter with their lineup as its easily susceptible to clogging and wish they used a paper filter instead. Not being a fully sealed Hepa filter is a huge letdown too.
Since you already reviewed various power tool vacs, what about reviewing the new 18v or 40v stick vacs from makita that will come out soon? I have one and its fantastic, but only for hard floors.
I bought this and returned it. The battery life was terrible, it had trouble picking up hair and dust on uneven surfaces (like where an area rug meets a hard wood floor), the dog hair was wrapped around the roller so bad that I had to cut it off with a sissor, and the roller itself was louder than the motor. The final straw was when I vacuumed my living room on high power, then went over it with my corded upright, and picked up more fur and hair. Very disappointed, especially because it was marketed as a vacuum for pets and bombed so badly at picking up dog fur.
Can you do a review of putting this vacuum again eureka latest vacuum Innova? I like both brands and they are usually my main go to when getting vacuums
So I just bought this one in Canada, and it does not come with that flexible hose at all. It's not even pictured on the box. Even the double charge pack is just a single charge pack with the two batteries. Can't stand it when companies cheap out on the little things.
I've been looking for someone else who had my issue. This is louder than any vacuum I've EVER used. Used to clean grocery stores with 1980s vacuums too 😅
Love your reviews! But wow, I'm SO disappointed with this Hoover ONEPWR Emerge Pet+. I researched vacuums for a couple weeks and I was really sold on this one for its purported versatility on various types of floors, the great attachments, and you folks' enthusiasm despite the filter situation. If this were a budget vacuum, maybe $150, I might give it an "OK." But for over $300? Ridiculous!! It scattered debris all over the place, didn't pick up the simplest of items. I think suction must be good because I hit a cat toy and really had to fight to get it back! But at the same time, even several passes on the hard floor, and on a very short carpet, left most of the debris exactly where it had been. It's going back to the store, and I'm going back to do more research.
Absolutely not! It’s 2023- this should be a completely sealed system with a HEPA filter. Remember when Hoover used to innovate?! Now they have the worst vacuums, the worst floor washers, etc. They just let the competition destroy them. Hard pass on this one.
