and here, we’re giving you the good, the bad, and everything in between so that you can decide if this is the right vacuum for you. The number of attachments you get with it is impressive and we particularly like the up-to-top tool for reaching those awkward cleaning spots. Simply download the Hoover Wizard app and you'll be able to check the battery level, receive notifications when it's time to clean and even set parental controls to stop the little ones from playing with the vacuum cleaner. There isn’t an anti-hair wrap brush head so if you have pets or just long hair, be prepared to cut hair from the brush roll as part of a regular maintenance routine.

Compared to Hoover’s previous model in this line, the H-Free 700, the 800 has a 55% larger filter on the outflow and this means that it can hold more dust before it needs emptying. They mention that it has poor suction power, the battery life lasts virtually no time at all, and it loses power over time. The Hoover H-Free 800 is a smart vacuum that you can connect to your Wi-Fi and access performance stats as well as battery statuses via the accompanying app.I have to use the Turbo function to get it to pick everything up, which means that the battery only lasts for about 20 minutes. Cons: The battery life on this Hoover vacuum is disappointing and only offers 35 minutes of cleaning time - although some user reviews claim it’s even less.

The Hoover H-Free 800 comes with a one-year warranty which is a little disappointing when you compare it to other models such as the Shark DuoClean which has a five-year warranty. This Hoover cordless vacuum comes with an impressive number of attachment tools and they include all the usuals you’d expect such as a crevice tool and a turbo brush, but you’ll also be getting the up-to-tool which angles down on top of cabinets, extractor fan hoods, and just about anything that you’d struggle to reach normally. H-FREE 800 is designed with the H-LAB brushless motor to offer you a constantly high-performing cleaning experience without losing suction power*. But if yours is on its way out and you’re sick of lugging it up and down the stairs, or trying to squeeze it into an already-heaving cupboard, you might want to consider a stick vacuum instead. It uses a combination of a motor and air focus to push dust down in the dust cup so that when you come to empty it, it’s much easier for the dust to leave the cup.A selection of easy-fit tools are included, all of which can be used either on the handheld, or on the end of the long reach pole.

This Hoover has eight different cleaning tools and a wall mount to keep it tidy when you’re not using it. Unusually, you can also connect it to wi-fi, where you can check how the vacuum is performing, its battery status – and even how many calories you’ve burned while using it, if you’re interested. Upon initial inspection I was very impressed with the quality of the product, packaging was good everything clearly labelled.Battery seems to hold up well,I've vacuumed the bungalow twice and it's still showing a full charge. Hygienic emptying - HSpin-Core+ technology uses its own motor to separate dirt with an additional air flow, driving dust, residues and hair down to the bottom of the container. It's ideal for clearing any dried up, ground-in dirt that has been left in the footwells of your car by muddy shoes. It coped well with bigger debris (like those pesky rogue biscuit crumbs) and it worked excellently on hard floors too.

It scored top marks on almost all the GHI’s pick-up tests – collecting up all pet hair in one quick sweep when used as both the stick and a handheld, so it’s a great option for dog or cat owners. Some mention it is very good, durable and maintainable, and good enough for most chores; while others say it did not function properly, the motor ceased working completely, and it is useless.They say that it broke after two months, the bracket isn't strong enough, and the anti-wrap brush has broken.
