The Hoover ONEPWR Blade+ claims ‘innovative design’ and ‘exceptional cleaning capabilities’. With glowing user reviews and fistfuls of performance awards, we were naturally curious to see how well this stick vacuum performs.
At Homes & Gardens, we have a series of tests which we put every vacuum through. That way, we can compare the top of the range models against the basics, with no bias. Using hardwood, carpet, and linoleum flooring, we recreated a number of household accidents that would require some vacuum assistance. We spilled flour and sugar on the floor to replicate messy baking accidents, poured cereal on the floor in our ‘pantry test’, and scattered hair on the floor for the tricky ultimate test for any vacuum.
