VACUUM BATTERY

I love the new lightweight, portable vacuum that my son and daughter-in-law bought me for Mother’s Day, but I’ve had some problems with it.  The first time I vacuumed my living room it was great. But the second time, within a few minutes of turning it on, it died.  “Oh no!” I thought, “What can the matter be.”  And then I realized, of course the battery needed to be recharged.

So the next time I vacuumed, I made sure that I had charged the battery the required three hours before I started.  Then with no problem, I vacuumed my entire living and dining room.  I love this vacuum cleaner and easily carried it upstairs to finish vacuuming my house.  But within a few minutes it died !!!!  You can imagine how frustrated I was.  I read the manual, then called the Hoover Company, and learned the battery only lasts about 20-25 minutes.  What a bummer.

Since I could never completely vacuum my house in only 25 minutes, my only option was to buy a second battery for a back-up to vacuum the entire house.  But again … what a bummer.  On the other hand, the vacuum had been a gift from my son and the Hoover employee on the phone told me that since my machine was only a couple months old he would give me a 15%  discount on a new battery and waive the shipping.  My total was $62.35.  All in all, not bad, I guess…….
