These 2 vacuum cleaners are bagless and cordless. Hoover Air Cordless is an upright while the DC59 is a 2 in 1 (stick and handheld) vacuum.
Advantages and disadvantages:
Dyson DC59 is more compact and lighter, easier to carry around and get into tight areas, also has a wall mount for neat storage. But it is way more expensive than the Hoover.
Hoover Air Cordless series 3.0 BH50140 is cheaper, includes 2 batteries to provide much longer battery life. It has wider cleaner head, larger dust container, and also features headlight to help clean dark spots that the DC59 does not include. But it is heavier, larger, and isn’t as versatile as Dyson DC59.
