Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Wyze Cordless Vacuum S | Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $129.99 | $279.99 |
| Release Year | 2024 | 2023 |
| Machine Type | Dry cordless stick vacuum, converts to handheld | Dry cordless stick vacuum in upright form — it does not convert to a handheld |
| Suction (as published) | Sources conflict on units: Wyze quotes 20,000 Pa in Turbo (9,000 Medium, 6,000 Eco) and separately claims '100 AW'. Pa is sealed suction measured at a blocked inlet, not work done at the head, and 100 AW alongside 20,000 Pa is not a figure Wyze substantiates | Not published by the manufacturer. Hoover quotes '50% more power' than the previous Evolve and a 20 V / 4.0 Ah battery, neither of which is a suction figure |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 40✓ | 35 |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | 10 | Not published by the manufacturer |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | Wyze publishes all three modes — 40 minutes Eco, 23 Medium, 10 Turbo — but does not state whether the powered floor head is fitted for any of them | Hoover's '35 minutes of continuous runtime' is the low suction mode. There are four power modes and Hoover publishes a runtime for none of the other three |
| Removable Battery | Yes — removable 6-cell pack (2,000 mAh x 6, 21.6 V DC), 4-6 hours to charge | Yes — and the ONEPWR 20 V pack is shared across Hoover's whole cordless line, including its floor washers and blowers |
| Spare Battery | Not published by the manufacturer | Not published on the product page; ONEPWR 4.0 Ah packs are stocked as a standard Hoover accessory |
| Dock / Wall Mount | Neither. An AC charger only — no wall mount, no dock, no stand in the box | Charger only. The vacuum free-stands. No dock, no wall mount, no auto-empty |
| Filtration | 3-stage with a filter Wyze calls HEPA but rates at '95% of particles under 0.3 micron'. Genuine HEPA is 99.97% at 0.3 micron. No sealed-system claim | 15-cyclone separation that Hoover rates at 99.4% of dirt and dust, at an unspecified particle size. Hoover makes no HEPA claim and no sealed-system claim |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | Sources conflict: Wyze's own product page gives 0.55 L in one place and 0.7 L in another | 1.0 L (1 quart) dirt cup, the largest on-board bin here, with a bottom release |
| Weight (lbs) | 4.9✓ | 9.2 |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | Washable filter. Wyze publishes no replacement schedule, no filter price and no brush-roll availability | Washable filter with no published replacement interval. Third-party washable replacements are widely sold, which is what most owners end up buying |
| Warranty | 12 months | 24 months |
| Colors | White/Grey | Black/Silver |
Category Scores
Suction Power
The Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) leads clearly here, 6.5 against 4.5 — a 2.0-point margin on actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Sustained Runtime
The Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) leads clearly here, 5.0 against 4.5 — a 0.5-point margin on how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Filtration & Sealing
The Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) leads clearly here, 4.5 against 3.5 — a 1.0-point margin on whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Handling & Ergonomics
The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S leads clearly here, 9.0 against 6.0 — a 3.0-point margin on weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. If that is what you are buying for, the Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Maintenance & Emptying
The Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) leads clearly here, 7.0 against 6.0 — a 1.0-point margin on bin or tank emptying, whether your hand ends up near the dust, self-clean quality and the ongoing cost of filters, bags and detergent. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Battery System
The Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) leads clearly here, 8.5 against 6.0 — a 2.5-point margin on removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Versatility
The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S leads clearly here, 5.5 against 5.0 — a 0.5-point margin on handheld conversion, above-floor tools, carpet capability and wet-mopping ability. If that is what you are buying for, the Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) does not close the gap elsewhere.
Value
The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S leads clearly here, 8.5 against 7.5 — a 1.0-point margin on what you actually get for the street price once consumables and missing accessories are counted. If that is what you are buying for, the Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V) does not close the gap elsewhere.

Pros & Cons
Wyze Cordless Vacuum S
Pros
- +$129.99 for a removable battery, a motorised head and a published three-mode runtime table
- +4.9 lb assembled — light enough to carry upstairs one-handed, and the handheld half is 2.8 lb
- +Publishes suction per mode as well as runtime per mode, which most budget brands avoid
- +A second motor in the brush head rather than a passive roller
Cons
- −The 'HEPA filter' is rated at 95% of sub-0.3-micron particles. Real HEPA means 99.97%. This is not an allergy vacuum whatever the listing says
- −No wall mount, no dock, no stand — it ships with a bare AC charger and nowhere to put it
- −10 minutes in Turbo, and Wyze will not say whether that is with the floor head running
- −Wyze's own page gives two different bin capacities, which does not inspire confidence in the rest of the sheet
Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite (BH53801V)
Pros
- +The ONEPWR battery fits Hoover's entire cordless range, so a spare pack is useful well beyond this vacuum
- +A 1-litre dirt cup means far fewer trips to the bin than the 0.5-0.77 L rivals
- +Upright, self-standing body is easier on the wrist over a long session than a handheld-balanced stick
- +$280 including a 4.0 Ah pack and a charger
Cons
- −Hoover publishes no suction figure of any kind — not air watts, not Pa, not even motor watts
- −99.4% filtration at an unstated particle size, no HEPA claim and no sealed system: the wrong machine for allergies
- −The 35-minute figure is the low mode; three other modes exist and none has a published runtime
- −Does not convert to a handheld, so above-floor cleaning means hauling the whole upright with you
