Hoover Freedom 2in1 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, FD22L, Handheld, Above Floor Cleaning, Lightweight – Blue
Freedom Freedom FD22L Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner
Freedom is the affordable range of cordless vacuum cleaners from Hoover, designed to help take the hassle out of your housework.
Lightweight and versatile, Freedom can be used not only for floors, but also for high reach cleaning, or as a handheld. A crevice tool is included to help you tackle cleaning tasks in your home, or even in your car.
Powered by lithium-ion batteries, Freedom delivers up to 20 minutes of suction power without fading: plenty of time to clean your kitchen and several other rooms of the house.
Unlike some other cordless vacuums, Freedom gives you the choice of two cleaning modes. The trigger mode allows you to clean efficiently without wasting any battery power : great if you like to stop and start, tidying up as you go along. Alternatively, if you intend to clean for more than just a few seconds, select the Continuous Mode, which lets you vacuum without constantly pressing your fingers down.

Got this to hoover to clean all the hair my 3 cats leave on a daily basis. Works pretty well, it makes a lot easier to keep the house tidy on daily basis. As for carpets I prefer my corded vacuum cleane
value for money quick and easy. hoover every day haven’t used my mains hoover for ages.
Good value for money – ideal for our mobile home but a little bit heavier than I thought it would be – easy to charge and gets the job done – could do with a few more attachements
It seems like it’s 20 too expensive given the build quality. It vacuums reasonably well but the battery seems to come loose quite easily. The lock on feature doesn’t work well at all, it just cuts out after a few seconds. It’s definitely a halfway house to getting a Dyson cordless stick vacuum and for the price it will do given how expensive the Dyson’s are.
Lightweight Hoover. Nice to have switch to leave in on position so you don’t have to keep pressed on all the time in use. Don’t have any stairs so can’t comment. Good on hard floors, although not so good around edges. I have yet to find any attachments which fit this model. The ones recommend I had to send back because did not fit! Easy to empty and runs for a good 20 mins at least.
I have given 4 stars because can’t find any attachments to fit…. would be nice for attachments to come with product.
We used for many years Dyson Animal and it was good, but then it was a time to get something new.
I guess the suction power get better with overall weight of the motor… so wireless ones are not best ones.
But
…suction is not everything. You can just quickly grab and vacuum stairs, kitchen and dog’s bed without lots of cables and lifting kilograms – I’m OK with doing that more often and emptying the dust container after every use.
and most important thing – I can see now kids just grabbing it and cleaning stuff and there is no more (difficult) fights to vacuum house.
I don’t ever write reviews, but I thought my views below would be most helpful!
Carpets:
I am really pleased with this hoover and use it all the time… BUT I would say it is pretty rubbish for carpets when you use it normally (my entire house is cream carpeted), however I find it is much much much more effective when you use your other hand to push down on the tube, this puts weight on the brush bar at the bottom and it makes a huge difference, it sweeps everything up!! I am 26 and fairly fit so I’m happy to do this as I go around the whole house (you have to bend over to apply the weight on the tube), but I do find my back aches a little after this so an older person wouldn’t want to do this. If I don’t vacuum in this way I find it rubbish and would probably not use it!
No matter what I do, I still find that I have to go over the same spot a few times for some more stubborn bits on the carpet, but as it is so light it is still quick and easy to do this.
Hard Floors:
It’s very good on hard floors (kitchen and hallway), no real issues there apart from larger pieces like dry cat food – I find I have to place the brush bar on top of these bigger pieces rather than push it over for it to suck up.
Conclusion:
Overall, when using the Hoover in the way I do, I’d say it is great… it will never be as good as a normal plug in vacuum, so I keep ours for deep cleans, but it does a good enough job for this to be a rare occurrence. Also it’s great for cleaning the car and stairs and any tough to reach crevices. Use it the way I do: 10/10. Use it the way it is supposed to be used: 6/10.
I had a Dyson and it was a pain after a while. It would not hold a charge and the head would stop spinning when it caught fibers from the shag rug. I got this Hoover as a replacement and I couldn’t be happier – it cleans like a dream and is powerful. It is lighter than my Dyson and much more mobile. I love this vac and definitely recommend as it’s better priced than a Dyson and cleans better IMHO.
As it is a “portable” hoover, it is expected to be not so much efficient with deep cleaning. However, it is more than sufficient if you always keep your house clean and just need to maintai
It’s great that it’s cordless, it now takes half the time to hoover. Light and easy to empty. Great that it even takes up less room to store.
Good on hard surfaces and light carpet. Not great at getting out hair/fluff trodden into thicker carpets.
Perfect for a small studio flat due to its size, also it’s surprisingly sturdy.
Have been looking for a lightweight cordless vacuum for some time.
This ticked all the boxes and at a very reasonable price.
Easy to install, works exactly how I expected, I have a mixture of hard floor and carpets / rugs and works fine on all surfaces, have to go over a couple of times but so much easier than our old heavy corded vac.
We also have a pet cat and this works fine at picking up lose cat hair.
Purchased to replace a more expensive branded hoover and went for something that was more affordable. For day to day use it’s good however I didn’t get the feel my carpet is cleaner like you would with other hoovers. Pros easy to store, light and can be used easily with the various attachments
Cons battery life is not great, cleaning is ‘OK’ and needs regular emptying (even with a small house)
Like everything if you pay more you will get more.
I specifically bought a hoover for pet hair in the vain hope that it would clean up all our dog hair, and if not it would be slightly more powerful than the average hoover. While not the most powerful hoover I have used I think it is good value. It really does hover up thick dog hair from our thick pile carpets pretty easily, as well as our wooden floors. The charge lasts for a good while too – I only need to charge it every few days if I’m doing a quick once over through the house. It is also nice and lightweight.
Love this Hoover, great for laminate floors when you have a cat. Not brilliant on rugs/carpets but does the stairs well with the smaller attachment. Battery time is good and I can do the whole of the downstairs with charge left. Also great for cleaning the car.
Good product, needs more powerful suction… n wall bracket…. it’s portable but company lacks to give u wall mounting option as it can’t standalone… short battery life for apartments use
ok for quick clean, quite difficult to empty cannister completely, needs a small brush to clean inside of dust cannister properly. Also quite hard to separate long tube from main body. Otherwise ok. Suction quite good for a small cleaner.
Lovely design, light weight and enjoy using. Battery life not great but as to be expected for price. It’s not been as good as I’d hoped for pet hairs on carpets and suction not as good as hoped but good for money for a wireless hoover.
I was very sceptical as hoovers and I do not gel together. The filters bung up and I have trouble getting down to maintain them. I have psoriasis and vacuums suck up all my shed skin but it blocks filters)
NOT anymore. The filters are accessible for me now so I have a chance of looking after them. It is picking dog hairs up well, it must be because the bin is full of them. It goes around the flat like it was greased….no more struggling with cords.
Up to now, I can find no negatives in my purchase. I do have a small flat but I am delighted.
I have bought this before, but I used it out side to hover gazebo carpet and out side mat…I used it for all sorts of flooring. I have two dogs and it picks up dog hair. It’s a really good hover. So I decided to buy another one .i Bought the next model up for dogs, Total rubbish, took it back and exchange it for the one I already had. I have one for outside and one for in, I don’t have any stairs to hover, so I cannot comment. Fantastic hover!
I have to be honest and say I have just returned my hoover for a replacement as the battery was faulty. But I had the hoover for a couple of months and can say this is the best hoover I have had. No more pulling on cords, knocking over things from pulling on cord. It’s light weight but really has strong suction and picks up cat hair and dust bunnies and I can hoover under low beds without having to move the beds. It’s not really loud at all compared to my other hoovers that sounded like a jet liner taking off. Now I can’t complain about the battery giving out. No ones perfect and well Amazon is great. They are picking up the old one and exchanging it for a new one. Yeah I’m still happy!
Very practical, compact and efficient as a vacuum cleaner and also excellent at picking up pet hairs.
It does what it says on the tin.
Fabulous, prefer it to my Dyson. Lightweight, quiet easy to change to different tools, love the pet one which works best, also detaches to hand held, great for car, can reach high round ceiling edges, curtains etc. Great if you just want to quickly hoover a small area, so I use after i brush the dog to hoover that particular area of the carpet, also good on non carpeted floors. Does run out of battery fairy quickly and does take a while to charge, but all-in-all I love it and wish I had bought one ages ago!
It works and does as the box states ..but was disappointed with the power of this doesn’t seem powerful or pick dog hair up well on carpet ..blocks easy with husky hair! Would
Not recommend as main hoover
I use it as a quick hoover would not be a deep clean gadget brilliant with stairs and bathrooms kitchens as lightweigh
I am really impressed in the power of this vacuum, works better than my Dyson did!
I have Rheumatoid arthritis, so it was important for me to have a vacuum I could easily operate (my hands are an issue for me) and that is lightweight – this more than fits my needs.
I have had my carpets come up cleaner than they did with my Dyson, and I have even used this in my car with a fantastic result (it was pretty disgusting thanks to dog & beach walks).
I would have no hesitation in recommending this model.
This is a great vacuum, the battery life is great and the charge time seems to be less than stated on the box. The attachments are easy to swap and lets me do the floors, furniture and stairs really quickly and easily.
Emptying is easy
Con:
The only con is that long hair gets trapped in the brushes and needs cutting out. I’ve found that a quick cut with a pair of scissors through the wound hair lets you get it out pretty easily though.
Would be nice to have a battery indicator, but not a major problem.
wow im disabled in a wheelchair this little beauty is superb the hardest thingh about it was getting it out of the box that it came in but I have it hung on a cable tie on a hook and the charger plugged in so it’s ready for use wheneve
Battery life is a bit pants 1/2 hour, but we have a small house, also beware that the battery is in correctly when charging other wise it will not charge though flashing as if it is!
But light and easy to use, and the wife like it so nuff said.
Does exactly what we bought it for at a fraction of the cost of other cordless vacuums, powerful and light with a decent battery life. Once it is charged I unplug it rather than keeping it plugged in all the time to save the battery. Some of the reviews for this product on here are laughable, e.g. the cleaner has a long pipe with the motor and dust container at the end of the pipe, so obviously you need to give it time for whatever you are vacuuming to get up the pipe to the container before you switch it off, otherwise it will dump it back on the floor. Don’t expect to be able to vacuum your entire house in one go, it cannot replace a mains powered vacuum in that respect (neither can a Dyson, unless you can vacuum your house in 9 minutes), but you can do a room at a time, or the stairs etc. and it is a lot easier than lugging a heavy mains powered vacuum around. Buy it!
I bought this vacuum a couple of months ago and so far I’m quite impressed. The battery lasts for quite a while and the suction is good. It is really convenient for doing stairs and for the car. I’m really happy with the purchase.
Bought this because I had broken my arm and unable to manage my normal vac. light enough to use one hand only and with some careful manipulation I can even change the tools. Would have like the mini turbo head to have been a bit bigger as hard work on long pile rugs the size it is. Also I have to clean the exterior of the turbo head after using as covered in dust and animal hair. Overall I am pleased with purchase.
There is nothing to dislike about this Vacuum Cleaner, easy to use, light to move around, gets under the bed and in hard to reach places.
Excellent for general house cleaning, but read the filter instructions – just a quick emptying after each use is not sufficient; clean the filters thoroughly on a regular basis, otherwise the power from the battery cuts out when the filter(s) are blocked.
Ignore the repeated requests from Hoover / Domestic & General to take out a service agreement at 60+ per annum; the cost of a new machine is only 90.
Had this for a couple of weeks now and very pleased with it. It’s lightweight and easy to use. The pet brush attachment works really well, we have 5 cats, and it picks up all the cat hairs effortlessly.
The only downside, and this applies to all the vacuums we’ve had including Dyson’s, is that the attachments aren’t flexible enough or there aren’t enough of them.
Haven’t charged it enough times yet to know what the battery life is really like but so far the battery holds up for the cleaning time we use it.
Bought to replace a similar corded version.
It does not have the power of its corded counterparts but I’ve used the Dyson version which suffers the same problem. The suction is plenty good enough for the hard floors I am using it on.
I like how lightweight it feels but still sturdy, and it is relatively quiet.
The main brush head has powered rotating bristles which is a nice touch that many models don’t have.
The bin disassembles easy for removing debris. Hair will get wrapped around the filter inside the bin but this is normal and takes moments to clear thanks to well designed release buttons.
This is a fantastic cordless hoover to have. I bought it to replace a cheaper one that failed and I’m really happy with this.
Easy to put together and take apart, good accessories, great cleaning power and great battery life.
Takes a while to charge at first but it’s worth it.
It’s a powerful handheld hoover and has great suction easily cleaning both carpets and hard floors.
Brilliant on the stairs and brilliant 2in1 dusting and upholstery tool.
Also it’s ideal for use in the kitchen on the floor and the benches if you have an accident with crumbs or flour etc.
You won’t be disappointed if you buy this model. It’s at the cheaper end of hoover models but I think it’s just great!
Had it for 1 year now. We love it! But just for anyone to grasp how good it is: a professional cleaner that comes to our house every fortnight has madly fallen in love with it and wants to buy it for her and for members of her family during black Friday.
It’s really convenient for regular use, we have wood hardfloor. Accessories are practical. It’s easy to pack away and looks fab in red. Only wish battery time was longer, but it seems to be in line with other models. Removing bin contents is also ok, but probably could also be improved.
Overall very satisfied with this hoover, would definitely recommend to anyone with a small house.
For the price you can’t go far wrong. On my improvement it needs is a better battery life but will do the house quickly once. Charges quickly.
Why pay a fortune for a Dyson? This is durable with good suction. The brush head easily picks up dirt and the long suction tubing means this is good for a bad back. It is light enough to make handling straight forward. My wife and I are happy with this purchase.
It failed to charge once, but removing and reinserting the battery solved the problem and no issues since. It does collect pet hair and has a small brush roller attachment which is good for this and excellent on stair carpe
Great product to use as a backup vacuum, when you want a quick clear up, or have no electric supply. Wouldn’t recommend as the only vacuum in the house. Works well and is very versatile.
Good for the price but wouldn’t be good enough for a family home. Difficult to empty. I am happy with it in my small house.
I have three large dogs and two primary school kids, so vacuuming daily is a necessity. However, lugging the big vacuum around is just too time consuming and I would often just run out of time (resorting in dog hair tumbleweeds floating around the corners). I bought this in hopes to make things quicker and easier (and light enough I can ask my 10 year old to help). I must say I’m loving it! It does exactly what I need it to do. It’s not as good as my main vacuum, but it does the day to day brilliantly and I can do the deeper vacuuming on the weekends. It’s super easy to put together, easy to run, and I’ve been able to do everything without running out of battery. It makes it so I can vacuum daily, and to me, that’s the most important factor. The suctioning power isn’t as good as my main vac, but it’s great for the price you’re paying. Very pleased with it.
It works great for my little house with floors and no carpeting. I do sweep for the big clean but for the quick everyday I use this vacuum. If I was at a larger home i would definitely NOT buy this but a more stronger one. Its definitely for little clean ups.
Bought a few days ago and love it already. Too soon to rate battery life, but came with some charge and was fully charged within a few hours. It’s very easy to put together and dismantle, the motorised brush picks up far better than my conventional Vax. Picks up pet hair without a problem, and works well on carpet and hard flooring. Small dust collection pot, but very easily emptied and easy to clean filter. I particularly like the swivel action the the brush head. Overall very pleased and would recommend, great value for money.
Good product for the price and very useful for a quick clean. It’s light and the battery lasts for my purposes. My only criticisms would be that it’s difficult for me to take apart to switch attachments as I find the locking mechanism a bit stiff for my fingers (my husband has no problems though). It also has issues picking up big pieces of wood chip cat litter. But it goes right up to edges and manoevered around corners really well. It’s easy to empty as well. I would also prefer a product that just slots into a charging base, rather than hanging it up and having to plug in the wire each time. This means that the wire dangles down whilst you’re using the Hoover (a bit tempting for inquisitive kittens). As others have mentioned, the wall bracket also doesn’t have enough slots for all the attachments.
The bliss of not having to worry about sorting out the cord and plugging it in counts for a lot – and does make me more inclined to do some quick vacuuming here and there. The machine is helpfully light and the battery life seems good to me, though I have no alternative cordless cleaner with which to compare it. The drawback is the very frequent need to empty the collector, which understandably has a small capacity (otherwise it would be too heavy) but which fills up very quickly. It’s not difficult to open but, once tightly filled, or even filled to the point that there is dust also in the tube, emptying becomes a real fiddle.
Not as much power as expected but super light, battery lasts about twice as long as stated! I put it together in about 3 mins and it’s very easy to take apart and clean.
Good hoover for laminate and tiled floors not powerful enough power for thicker carpets. Great to hoover car with. Light and easy to use, good value for money.
What was really missing is the bracket to hang it from when not in use. Ideally needs to be nexr to a power socket so that the PSU lead does not flop on the floor.
Does whsy it say, i orginally purchased a vax 32v cordless at double the price. But it wouldnt even pick up on my carpets suction rubbish. I thought i would try this and good for money. Much better on carpets easy to assemble. Battery life is less but enough tp get round my hous
This hoover is amazing. I had a Henry and absolutely hated hoovering, pulling it along, winding up the cord, changing the bag everything. This hoover has made me love keeping on top of my floors! It picks up everything, dog hair, dust, food ect on Wood and carpet. It’s got a rotating brush head that gets really deep in the carpet pile so much so I’m disgusted by what gets picked up haha. It’s so light and easy to move around. Comes with an attachment to do the car too. Highly highly recommend I love it!
Bought this hoover during an Amazon prime deal day, and I love it. It’s light and easy to use and it last long enough to do my entire flat. Admittedly, I only live in a one bedroom flat, but I could probably go around it twice before having to charge it. It picks up all the little bits and I love the fact that I can use it up close, by taking the long tube away, or at a distance.
Love the colour too!
This has been a great purchase for us so far. Our old vacuum cleaner wasn’t great at picking up hair on the floor, this in the ther hand has been fantastic! I was genuinely shocked at the amount of hair this picked up running it over the carpet for the first time. So far the battery life has been fine (about 20 mins). I purchased this from the Amazon Warehouse and it arrived like it had never been used, far better than I expected it to be.
Really easy to use and lightweight. I have wooden floors on ground floor and carpets on upper floors and can vacuum the whole house in one battery charge. Only downside is that you need to fish out the rubbish from the cylinder with a stick as it doesn’t empty on its own due to small size.
As the first attempt at cordless vacuum it came as a pleasant surprise, inspite reading all the positive reviews. Suction is really good and it does pick up well. Easy to clean dust container and filters.
The downsides for me are the lack of additional tools (luckily Vax Slim Vac tool kit proved to be a perfect match), dust container capacity rather small and the run time of 20 min – it’s just not enough for a thorough clean of a 3 bed house. I am keeping my corded one still and this one will be great for quick sweep around and for the stairs.
It is perfect for a quick whizz around. We have four dogs so lots of hair on a daily basis, being able to just grab it and whizz around all rooms is so easy. When we do full clean we use the big hoover for bulk and then this to going round the edges, stairs and cobwebs. It is very light and easy to use. Battery lasts the full 20 mins, it does need emptying often and recharging each time but that is to be expected. Won’t do without it now.
I have a corded vacuum cleaner – but tbh only seen the light of day once a week! – due to all the hassle of getting it out – using the cord etc which inevitably got stuck .
So as many of my friends had cordless (well known brands) I thought I NEEDED one too.
So I had a look and decided that I’d go for this one as it was a well known brand – and a fraction of the price.
Well I am not disappointed – so easy to use and does the job .
One mark off as only one tool came with it and the ones linked on Amazon don’t fit it .
I bought this for a second home I have but it is so good that it will be used in my main residence. The old Hoover cordless in the cradle will be used in my second home. Cordless vacs didn’t have the power years ago but they have come on in leaps and bounds. I got this for @ 85 which is about one third of the price of a Dyson cordless here in Ireland. The motorised brush attachment works very well. It is hard to get a decent cordless here as all the retailers appear to be pushing Dyson.
The best tool for the house.
Ver good suction, cleverly designed for space saving. It’s very easy to clean- i even bought one for my lil gran to for her house- it’s that light !
This is amazing. Seriously. I’m not a product tester etc by the way!! Over the years I’ve always bought the cheapest vacuum available as I’ve been in a flat for years but recently moved into a house and needed something more sustainable. A friend has the Dyson similar to this but at nearly 400 was too expensive. Given the brand of this I decided to get it. Wow!!! What a device this is. The suction is really good, battery life enough to go around the whole house on one charge. Seriously it’s amazing. Easy to put together, really light and looks nice too haha!! Whereas hoovering used to be a chore I find myself picking this up and constantly using it and trying to find areas of the house just to use it!!! I even found cobwebs on the garage roof to get rid of!!! Highly recommend this all day long. Enjoy
Love it, had for about two months now.
Two things I’ve found a bit of a pain, if you have long hair and it’s all over the house, then you use the hoover on it, it gets caught up all around the spiny bit, so you have to cut it off. The other thing is that the head of the hoover is getting stiffer and stiffer everytime I try to change the head to a different gadget. Hopefully won’t just snap because that’s what I feel it will do eventually.
Fantastic cordless vacuum for the price, it easily picks up pet and human hair, To be honest the battery life lasts 15 mins before it weakens, fine for me, however used in a large house it may need more than one charge, it’s great as a quick clean up rather than getting out the mains powered vacuum.
Really pleased I chose this product – after much research. Not quite Dyson quality & performance but very close but for a third of the price. Fantastic value for money.
I really like this hoover. Was dubious about the quality when the price was so low, but was very pleasantly surprised when it came home and I used it. I have a Henry which is quite heavy to carry up and down stairs on a regular basis, and also very poorly placed sockets in my house, so with this I can just pick it up and go if something needs a quick vacuum and it has great suction power too. Also easy to change heads and empty.
My only one small gripe is that I have long hair and the hoover has a rotating brush head so any hairs being hoovered up from the floor need regularly cutting away from the brush head. But that’s the same with any rotating brush head vacuum.
I love this vacuum, purchased to replace a big heavy Dyson vacuum which was so hard to use when also carrying a baby around. This is so light weight and powerful it lifts everything up and leaves carpet really clean. It fits into all little gaps and the head turns in all directions making it easy to do the stairs. Doesn’t mount on the wall but doesn’t matter to me as it stands up on its end anyway and plugs in. Really recommend i think the current stick vacuums are over priced for what you get and this was much more reasonable. Like the function for continuous vacuuming so your thumb doesn’t ache which is what happens with the Dyson animal stick vacuum.
Had to give up on my heavy upright Vacuum cleaner as with my various disabilities I just could not manage to use it. This little Hoover is so much easier for me to manage. It is light, easily manoeuvrable, even emptying is easy, and does a great job!
What I liked about this vacume.
* handy & light weight – gives me the freedom of carrying it to upstairs & downstairs very easily.
* picks animals hair very well. Though there’s only one sucking power, it seems to pick up all the dirt.
What I don’t like about.
* it is quite tight fitting when changing attachments.
* a little tricky to find if the hanging wall hook in place to the machine. Be careful to make sure it’s hang properly.
* needs to empty the dirt collected very frequently; ie. capacity of dirt collected is not big.
Above all that, I love this machine. Just right for a small person like me. 🙂
Very happy, not too heavy. I can fly around the house everyday. Good suction amd dorsnt leave fine dust behind. Giid battery life and the rotating brush bar is very handy.
I love this little vacuum cleaner. Easy to use empty and carry anywhere in house.
My pull along bagless vacuum evertually gave up the ghost but was quite cumbersome to take up and down stairs and manoeuvre around furniture. This is just perfect. I can clean my whole house on one charge. I do need to empty dust chamber often but I feel it helps keep up a good suction. I bought this as opposed to alternative because it was good for cleaning pet hair I’ve yet to use the pet hair cleaning head as I feel it picks up all the pet hair perfectly, also better at picking up my hair from bedroom carpet. Light weight enough for me to vacuum out of the way areas above my head without having to worry about dropping it on my head. As it’s cordless I can switch on the continuous vacumm function and zip around the house in no time. I found it so good I’ve already recommended it to other people.
I love this little vac. Great for everyday clean ups and car cleaning. Like the toggle switch so you dont have to hold button on. (I have arthritic hands) my son has also purchased one. Only downside is that you have to put hand in dirt bucket to empty i
Great little hoover, we have a reasonable sized flat and it works perfectly for us. No wires and lasts long enough for us too, as we’re not hoovering every day. The attachments it comes with are a little loose but nothing to worry about, they work great when I’m cleaning my car or trying to get into the nooks and crannies . Only ONE criticism, the main attachment doesn’t really hoover up around the edges of the carpet, at the bottom of skirting boards etc. But very pleased with it 😀
Best hoover I’ve ever had, its surprisingly got good suction as it’s lightweight. Easy to maneuver and I like the front light. Only drawbacks are the charging time but you get used to this and detangling hair from the brushes,which is easy with scissors.
First impressions are that this is an amazing product for the price. We have been using a Vax but the amount of dirt and hair this removed from carpets and furniture is amazing. I have just a couple of niggles. 1) The main pipe attachment to the Hoover is quite stiff (perhaps it will loosen up)
2) It would have been nice for the battery charger to attach directly to the battery away from the Hoover body.
Hoover still working very well. Well worth the money.
Sounds sad I know but have been looking at hoovers for long time. Had decided on a Shark but friend told me hers wasn’t very good. So started looking again. Decided on this one that was half the price of Shark and Dyson. I have 2 dogs so lots of hair everywhere. And 3 parrots so lots of seed everywhere. This hoover is amazing. So easy to use and has great suction power. Can not believe how great it is. So glad I chose this one.
Had this delivered today and can’t believe how good it is for the price. It arrived ready charged, so I ran it for a couple of minutes and it picked up so much dust! Charged fully afterwards really quickly. I haven’t even used to pet attachment yet. It’s all very well designed, although perhaps it doesn’t feel very sturdy. The attachments feel quite strong though.
This is a very good piece of kit… light and easy to use…ideal for small areas, we have it on our boat and campervan as the collection chamber is a little small.
Oddly a message for the dealer… when we received it the chamber was full of dust!! Someone obviously liked it too!!
I already have a Dyson animal which is fairly old but still in good working order although ait bulky. i bought this to use as an alternative for stairs, under beds, etc. I have to say I am really impressed – very light and compact, easy to put together and takes up very little space when stored using the hanging ‘hook’. This has great suction and is very easy to manouevre with a good set of tools – I was amazed by how much per hair it lifted on one ‘going over’! The bin is quite small so you have to empty regularly but that’s the nature of it being compact … can see my Dyson gathering dust. Would highly recommend.
Love this bit of kit..hate heavy plug in vac and this seems to be more efficient..bit heavier than i thought but not having to hold trigger button down is a bonus..moving into a cottage so this will do the job nicely
Far more suction than my old vax dustbuster with the added advantage of the accessories to clean in all sorts of places. The extension with beater bar suction head makes it long enough to comfortably hold and I’m six feet tall. Work’s really well on rugs cleaning up dog hair, not quite as well our corded upright hoover but that’s to be expected for a rechargeable. Use it for quick daily clean up and main one weekly for deeper clean. Battery works as advertised around 20-25 minutes and it’s easy to empty, provided you don’t let it fill past the full mark, then it’s slightly awkward but that was my fault, got carried away! Would recommend.
Having had this Hoover for enough time to have an opinion, I have to give 5 stars. It’s very well balanced when using it,very easy to handle. It picks up very well. I charge it and use it for 2 or 3 minutes at a time I guess and I can use it many times, surprised me.I would definitely recommend this product. Hoover to me means quality. Very easy to handle. And here’s a little tip. If you plug in to charge and the charge light flashes red and blue. It ain’t charging. So underneath flip the battery release button, take out the battery and leave it out for 30 seconds, put it back in,and it will charge no worries. It’s a very good Hoover, after all it’s Hoover and that means quality. Have a nice day.
My old corded vacuum hasn’t been out the cupboard since this arrived 4 months ago!
This is my first cordless vacuum cleaner and I am incredibly impressed with the amount of dust and dirt it sucks up. The waste canister fills up quickly but is easy to empty.
It is so easy to change all the attachments and switch from stick mode to handheld. I use it most days, quickly grabbing it out the cupboard and vacuuming up crumbs and bits of fluff quicker than it would take me to use a dustpan and brush.
The standard brushes do a great job with cat hair but I use the special pet brush for hoovering the cats bed and areas where she sleeps.
Generally very happy I predominately use it for the stairs and the car and having 2 dogs I’m happy with how it lifts dog hair using the motorised head. Only disappointment is that it does not come with a hinged crevice tool as the product description implied.. however very happy overall with the product and price.
We have to been using our corded dyson for years. Vacuumed this morning then again when this arrived. Amazed at how much extra it picked up in 5 minutes. Dog hair gone. Super impressed with the power. Attachments are great. 5/5. Would very much recommend.
It works well and sucks all the dust and hair both on the floor and on the carpet. Enough power for one cleaning of the whole home. The only defect aspect is that it doesn’t include a brush for cleaning the bin and filter after cleaning.
So light and extremely powerful hand held hoover , get one and you wont bother with a traditional cleaner again . Trouble lifting this is a perfect hoover for you.
Bought this as an alternative to getting the Henry vacuum cleaner out. As others have said the suction isn’t as strong but it’s quick, light and inexpensive. Perfect for a quick whizz round and for the stairs. Using it much more than we thought! Happy with purchase.
Good VAC only problem was tools missing, so had to place order for tools, but it was an add-on so had to order something else with them. Would recommend to buy VAC though.
Perfect for zipping about the hard floors and the battery seems to last well, so far. Suction isn’t really good enough for a good deep clean
but if you just want a quick hoover it’s fine.
Boughthr for my mum for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. I must admit when I saw it, it did look better than my stain V6 and also has better suction.
Wish we had brought one years ago – our only gripe is the lack of accessories which appear only to be available from Hoover for another 50!
No problem cleaning tile, wood or carpet and we can hoover our 4 bed house on one full charge
This device has transformed my life! A recent problem with my legs means I cannot crouch down to clean the hard floors with a dustpan and brush without great pain. I decided to try this and what a lovely surprise. It is really efficient in cleaning my kitchen floor in a short time with its pretty powerful suction. I have also done the stairs with ease, it cleans carpet superbly. I did hesitate because others reported poor suction but they must have a faulty one: ask for a replacement if this is the case. There is 1 extension tube included, & no other accessories, the wall mount and dusting brush only come with ‘certain models’, not this one. But what a good price!
Good for quick jobs, to save you dragging about your main household hoover, or maybe if you live in a flat. Not much use if you’re cleaning up after messy DIY because the filter chokes fairly quickly and it looses suction, and the can needs emptying often.
Exactly what I wanted! Powerful suction, lightweight, very manoeuvrable…..what’s not to like. I have a very large house so still use my corded vac for the big jobs as the battery life on this isn’t great, but it’s so handy for quick clean-ups and the handheld option to clean the upholstery is brilliant. It doesn’t come with a wall mount or the dusting brush/crevice tool mentioned in the manual, but I just ordered these from Hoover direct for 56. Still works out a very reasonable price for a very good cordless vacuum. Very happy!
Bought this to use at our static caravan where we don’t need a full size vacuum cleaner. I have to say that I am impressed with its suction and it takes just a few minutes to vacuum the whole caravan. It weighs less than I thought it would so this makes it easy to use. It doesn’t have the longest run time but it is more than adequate for the job we purchased it to do. It takes up very little room, in fact it is stored in the corner of one of the wardrobes. If I needed something at home for quick clean ups then I would certainly purchase a second one.
Bought this as a cheap alternative to the Dyson and have to say, overall I am very impressed!
The hoover is much lighter then the dyson and whilst not as powerful, it is excellent at picking up dirt/dust etc and is definitely worth considering!
If you are looking for a hoover to replace your main hoover then stay away (although the same can be said for all cordless hoovers, including the super expensive dyson’s, as they are just not powerful enough currently to replace a corded model, which we use about once every two months for a deep clean), however as a second hoover that is used regularly it’s far better then expected!
Very impressed with this Hoover. The freedom of being wireless is totally worth the 25 minute battery capacity. 6 hours to charge is fairly lengthy but common amongst similar models. Very light and strong build. Only downside is my partners long hairs clog the main brush at least twice every use ( nothing a pair of scissors and 5 minutes won’t solve) extremely easy to empty and clean.
OK, to be perfectly honest. I was fully expecting to be disappointed with this and returning it, as I didn’t think it would live up to expectations and not be up to the job!
Boy was I wrong!
It’s better than my old 1400watt cylinder and easier to use and as good as my heavy 1800watt upright Vac.
It’s great, light, very manoeuvrable, powerful and efficient I do empty every time because it’s so easy and clean to do (apart from the first time, when I missed the bin completely.) but that was operator incompetence.
Fantastic vacuum very easy to assemble, arrived very quickly. It is so versatile and picks up really well, makes vacuuming the stairs a joy now rather than taking your life in your hands. The only downside is that the power doesn’t last long, but a small price to pay.
Couldn’t be happier, a great improvement on my old Hetty. No cables, no dragging the vac around, just a simple, efficient bit of kit that gets the job done. The cyclone deposit comes apart easily and can be washed. The exhaust filter can be removed and also washed, although it is fabric so needs a day on a hot radiator to dry out. Best of all, the roller bit comes out, so when my gf’s stray hairs get wrapped around it, you can stick a pair of scissors into the groove along both sides of the roller, and cut the hairs so they can be removed easily. I would have liked a wall mount with it, but it doesn’t have one, and doesn’t say it has one, so I can’t criticise for that. All in all, a great purchase which has got me cleaning the house with a bit more enthusiasm than I used to!
Does what it days on the tin! Feels like it might not be as powerful as the upright, but the portability definitely outweighs that and it picks up most things absolutely fine. Amazing how much more convenient it is not to have to unwind a cable and plug in before starting! You might not think it makes a big difference but it does.
