    Fab little hove
    Great little hover for those days you just can’t be bothered to get the big one out! Very light an nifty for carpets & hard floors, works really well on stairs to. The suction is good, cause it is only small you do have to empty it often, comes with 2 batteries so that’s a bonus. Happy with my purchas

    Very very good. Better than any I've had before.
    After using this hoover for the first time, we realised how bad our last one was. This was also a hoover brand but cheaper. The new hoover H free 500, removed so much hair from our carpets that it made us shivver to think that for 18 months of using the last one it was virtually useless, and was leaving most of the dirt and hair on the carpet. We will see how long this H free 500, lasts. None of our previous cord free vacuums have lasted more than 2 years. Our previous plug in Henry was till going strong after 10!

    Good for everyday use.
    It’s good for everyday use if you have hard floors. If you have carpets, I am not sure. Good thing – light weight and battery life is not bad. Suction is not good as I expected. I was disappointed as mine arrived opened, nothing was missing, however it left an impression that somebody returned it and had been sold to me.

    Great lightweight hoove
    This hoover is great, really cleans the edges. It’s super lightweight and really manoeuvrable. It also goes really flt for cleaning under sofa, bed etc. I’d recommend getting a spare battery as the charge time is quite lengthy, so it’s handy to have one already charged ready to go. I ha e a mix of wood, laminate, ceramic tiled and carpeted floors and it’s great on all surfaces, but if you have a mix, I don’t recommend fixing the additional blades for carpets as I found the hoover then dragged on other flooring. Only negative is emptying the canister is a faff, even with the tool provided. Other stick hoovers I’ve found easier in that regard.
    Overall though, fantastic hoover highly recommended.

    Not suitable for hard floors
    A great vacuum cleaner, works really well on carpets but not good on hard floors, it tends to just push any crumbs etc. you have to have it on boost and move slow so it can suck it up. Therefore the battery runs out quickly ( there is the option of grabbing the second battery obviously)
    I love the way it can be taken apart to clean, also the brush can be removed to take off long hairs which is a bonus.
    An all in all ideal Hoover for carpets, hopefully they improve the hard floor cleaning capabilities on their next model as it is a let down on this one.

    Lightweight cordless easy to manouevre
    I deliberately bought this model with two batteries which takes the gamble our of using it. I like that the brush can be removed easily and cleaned. The capacity of the dust bowl seems adequate. I use it both on hard floors and carpets.

    Very Good
    I am so pleased with the cleaner. Lightweight good suction and easy to empty. I can’t comment on stairs as I live in an apartment. So much better than my previous vacuum excellent on hard floors and the tools are so easy to attach and remove. Would recommend.

    Very efficient and easy to use.
    Initial impressions are very good although not as easy to assemble at first compared to previous cleaners of this type. Effective in cleaning pet hair from a variety of surfaces. The two batteries are most useful avoiding the problem of power failing half way through a job. Would have given full 5 Stars but emptying the bin is messy compared to similar cleaners and needs a probe to get pet hair out.

    Value For Money
    So far so good does everything a Hover should, nice and light weight good suction and easy controls, attachments that come with it are brilliant eats dog hair no problem.
    Does need a second battery if you have a large home and hovering more than 3 rooms on one charge, it does take 2 or 3 hrs to re charge.
    Also great for the car or caravan.
    Saves pounds, better than getting robbed for overpriced Dyson’s.

    Great vacuum cleaner recommended
    Bought for 80 year old mum after she had broken her hip to replace a cylinder type hoover. Mum has stairs and is ok going up & down them but not when trying to juggle a vacuum cleaner , but with this stairs are not an issue. It’s lightweight with great suction replaces a proper vacuum cleaner NOT just a cleaner to pick the bits off the carpet in between ‘proper vacuuming’

    Light weight & was to use
    Really like this. It’s lightweight, really easy to use & has a super handy light on it (which highlights things before you Hoover then up). Only issue I have with it is hair. I have long hair as do my 2 girls & it just wraps around the bottom of the Hoover – not sure how it would be if we had pets too.

    Great little hoove
    I bought this to use I’m my kitchen and living room, both of which have hard floors. It’s excellent for running around every day to keep the place clean and tidy. Powerful enough for what I use it for and does the job well. I have used it on carpets a couple of times and it’s OK but bit great. It qp t do the job for a proper full om house clean and can’t compete with a cabled Shark/Dyson so don’t expect it to.

    Light but powerful
    What a super compact cordless hoover. Just what we need for our 3 bed flat with a mixture of hard floor, Berber carpet and Persian rugs. Because we have Berber carpets in the bedrooms, we needed a hoover that could have the brush bar switched off and this has been difficult to find in most cordless models. Suction is great and is a brilliant design for really compact storage. Dust collection bin is small, but easy to empty.
    My only disappointment, so the loss of a star, was that the lights on the front of the brush head only come on when the brush is revolving, so not on for hard floor/Berber carpet areas.

    Does what the video shows it does
    The best on the market for the price and it really does do what the video Shows! The best battery vacuum there is (without spending 600 on a Dyson) I’ve gone through 3 in 2 years thinking spending a little will Solve it, but this one definitely has.

    Nifty little sucke
    What’s not to love? We live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have a dog who seems to shed year round and I can hoover the whole place including the stairs without the battery running out. I’ve even managed to vacuum two days running on one charge.
    Obviously, if you use it in ‘turbo’ mode the battery runs out more quickly but I can still get most of the house done.
    The big toothbrush thingy is absolutely genius. I hope whoever thought of it applied for the patent!
    The fact that you can take every part of the canister to bits in order to clean it is amazing.
    Like I said, what’s not to love!

    Good battery
    Battery is fine and does the job! The problem with the machine is that on full boost power battery only lasts for about 7 to 8 minutes, so it is really necessary to have 2 batteries to be able to do sufficient of the house cleaning!

    Great value and works so well on dog hai
    I bought this because of the good housekeeping review. Wasn’t let down!! Bargain price and because it’s so much easier than a corded one I vacuum almost daily. It’s great on carpet and hard floors alike and empties out easily too. I can’t fault it.

    Best cordless I've ever used
    I’ve had four or five cordless vacuums and most have something major wrong with them. Some are loud, don’t pick anything up, get clogged up and the Vax I had couldn’t stand up and fell over and scratched the wall. This Hoover 500 is superb. It’s lightweight, has a long battery life, easy to manoeuvre and the attachments can be fitted very quickly. It even folds down if you’re tight for space.

    Good for dog hairs
    Brought this item as our dog is always dropping hair, it’s been a good Hoover but sometimes it does block when there is a lot of hair but it is very easy to get to all parts and clear the hover. I have to say I can hover downstairs and just get some of upstairs done before the battery dies. But the Hoover is very light and versatile and easy to use a good buy.

    It's Good, Does what it says on the box.
    It works both on carpet and hard floors. Good for going over furniture and can be quickly taken from one mode to another, the tools that I mainly use are attached and not fiddly to change.

    The only slightly negative thing is the size of the dust collector, it has to be emptied after each use, maybe a good thing!!

    A right angled long haired dusting brush would be useful. The tube is rectangular so the generic ones don’t fit.

    Great piece of ki
    We looked at a newspaper review article on these products and this came second to an alternative that was 600. We decide it was worth the risk and if it wasn’t as good, we could but three Hoovers if necessary, which had to be a better deal. In use it is fantastic, very powerful. Truly embarrassed to see how much it pulled out of our carpets on the first attempt and very light to hold.

    This product has revolutionised my housework!
    My friend had told me about her cordless Dyson but it was sooooooo expensive so I did a wee bit research and thanks Good Housekeeping for giving this hoover almost as many percentage points as Dyson… you saved me a fortune. I love the light weightedness, the uprightness and the swivel headedness of this hoover. I have a memory of my mum getting super excited by her first hoover circa 1983 … I finally get her excitement .

    When I got the hoover I was shocked about the dimensions but then it really surprised me!
    It’s light and very handling. Even if doesn’t seem powerful, it does a good job.
    The double batteries help a lot!
    It’s good for cleaning up hair but I don’t think is great for pets hair.
    I recommend it for flat up to 50 sq mt, after that the battery wouldn’t be enough and the dust container would too little.
