Amazing for quick clean ups in the kitchen and for whizzing around the house while baby sleeps! Fantastic price and as good as (if not better) than other leading brands for an absolute fraction of the price. Really impressed by this. Should have bought it a lot sooner!
This is light, portable and gets up a lot of rubbish. It does pick up hair -and I don’t even have a pet – I’m surprised how long I’m trimming the hairs off the brush, I had no idea we moulted that much!. I’m not sure how long it does last, i’ve never used it at one go from freshly charged to requiring another boost but it certainly lasts long enough to go through my modest house with left overs. The one thing I would mark it down for is the sheer difficulty of getting off the rubbish holder, difficult to wrestle off even worse to get back on properly.
Liked this nice stick hoover picks up nicely good for everyday use
Bought to replace our Dyson vacuum. The Dyson was always poor at cleaning; we called it the ‘Dyson dust re-distributor’ and could always tell if an area had been cleaned with the Dyson or our Sebo (which actually works); eventually, the Dyson was lasting less than five seconds before the (replacement) battery ran out so needed to be replaced. The Hoover has been a revelation – much more effective than the Dyson ever was, quieter and the battery has yet to run out (not sure that we really needed to get the second battery but it means we can relax about recharging). The modular design is practical and intuitive. It is very light to hold. The capacity before it needs to be emptied is quite small but enough for us and it only takes moments to tip it out and start again. Can’t really think of any negatives…
I previously left a review saying how well this worked, but let’s see how long it lasts. Well! After just a few weeks, the lid to the collection bin has broken and fallen off! It is very plasticky and not durable atall. I have checked to see how to report this in order to get a replacement part.
The procedure is such a faff! I have to return the broken pieces by walking a mile to a shop (I don’t drive). Then I’ll have to wait however long to get a replacement, without a vacuum cleaner at home.
I have found this procedure a real chore in the past, and it’s the only thing I find taxing about Amazon. I can’t find a way of talking to someone in order to get this sorted……I will try not to order any more large items from Amazon because of the faff when things go wrong.
So, mu advise…..don’t buy this cheaply made vacuum…….
Feels like designed by a company that knows all about vacuum cleaners! I have nothing but praise for this machine having used one at twice the price prior! Ergonomically designed. Controls are at finger tips and where easily visible. Open the bin with a press of a button! With the bin set vertically it simply empties itself! The floor unit brush is removable with a click of a button ready to clear hairs that clog floor brushes, very simple and effective. Even came with dual filters so you may have a new filter when the used on is drying upon cleaning. Well Done Hoover!
Did the cleaning much quickly not heavy great all round the house
Works really well all around the house and is easy to clean after use. I hoovered with my 1 Yr old Henry first and then went over it again with this one, so surprised at how much it picked up
Just bought this because I am sick of my g tech pet air ram going over stuff but not picking it up, I purchased that because my old Dyson was too heavy and I can’t afford the new cordless ones, very disappointed with g tech, they are overated. I love this one, very lightweight, picks everything up with plenty of suction and the accessories are great help, I’m 65 so anything that helps me keep my bungalow clean is great. As with anything I buy I find understanding the instructions difficult so I will probably look on you tube. Having used this vacuum several times I have found that the battery doesn’t last long , this should come with a second battery so there is always one ready to use. I have now purchased a second battery so I can vacuum the whole house.
I am now 23/5/22 thoroughly sick of this vacuum. I hadn’t realised when I bought it that it needed to be on turbo constantly in order to get enough suctio to pick up properly. I have read that in turbo the max time is about 8 minutes, I probably get less than that and it isn’t enough time to hoover throughout my small bungalow. As the charge time is 6 hours it is too difficult to clean my house in one day. Keep reading people are getting 2 batteries with theirs, I certainly didn’t !!!!!!!!
Works well so far (about 6 months) – great at getting blasted dogs hair out of the carpet (I think we’re getting out stuff that’s been there for years). Definitely needs bigger dust storage as it has to be emptied too frequently (and the corners of the dust bin are a pain to get into, even with the supplied tools). Can’t speak for stairs, as we don’t have any, but I don’t see why there’d be a problem, as it’s pretty light. Suspect a bigger house would need to invest in extra batteries – we usually manage most of the (relatively small) house on a charge, but only just. Doesn’t really need a dock – we just leave it standing upright on the floor with the battery charge cable plugged in. Satisified overall, given the price (175) – much cheaper than the D word

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.
Our Dyson cordless broke after 1 year and we got this to replace. Much better in my view. Good suction, great battery life (you get 2) and stores conveniently .
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.
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!

This Hoover was very lightweight with a good suction to it, very impressed
This is a very well made device with nice features. The attachments click in easily and they even give you a special Hoover bag to store them in so they don’t get lost – nice touch. I cleaned my car with it and it was very good. Swapping attachments for crevices, mats, seats etc. The transparent dirt collector is a good feature as you can see how much dirt and debris you have collected and know when to empty it obviously. Stands up on its own minimising use of space. Half the price of other similar machines but works very well. No negative comments to make so far. Great scores given to it on comparison sites.
Batteries do not last long on turbo, but you do get two. Spare filter is useful.
Love this hoover very light
If I would say it had a down point it would be that you do need two batteries
