Working with permanent magnets that reduce friction and vibrations and increase speed, this 120W brushless motor guarantees optimal performance and a longer life.

The short battery life, mediocre suction, and tiny dust canister mean it’s not suitable for anything bigger. Ensuring a longer runtime and a 3-hour quick charge, the high-efficiency lithium battery is easily replaceable and provides up to 12 minutes of continuous work when fully charged. This is especially applicable to Scottish Offshore (KW15-17, ZE, HS, PA20, 41-49, 60-75, 77-78, KA27-28, PH40, 42-44), Scilly Isles (TR21-25), Northern Ireland (BT), Channel Islands (GY, JE), IOM (IM), Eire and BFPO addresses.

We also think Hoover needs to rethink the emptying system on this vacuum, as it’s one of the worst we’ve tested (hence the low “Ease of Use” rating).

Featuring a self-adjustment mechanism and a velvet electrostatic roller, it ensures perfect surface adherence and better pick up. It’s a good size and weight for higher areas, although we found that it struggled to clean away sticky spider webs. Ultra lightweight at just 660 grams, H-HANDY is an ally for all of your unexpected fast cleaning needs at home or in the car.

And then when the battery does run out on you (which is will because 12 minutes isn't long), the vac will just stop with no warning. I help families to renovate their lives so they can create a beautifully organised family home and enjoy life to the full, from the four walls they live in, to the experiences they share together. It comes with a 3 in 1 multi-tool changeable attachment, this is really well thought out as you can place the attachment tool into the vacuum and then swap over the end piece to what area you want to vacuum.The products are given to us free of charge and we test them for as long as possible before sending them back to the brand, unless we are able to keep it as we are with this vac.

Using the upholstery brush, I managed to pick up most of the mess, but some more stubborn hairs were caught up in the velvet.

There isn’t a dedicated pet tool included with this model, but you can get it with the H-Handy 700 Pets. The 3in1 tool will sit nicely behind the charging vac so it's all kept together and ready for when it is next required. Standing proudly to attention on its own powered docking station, the Hoover H-Handy 700 is always fully charged and ready to go.

It was ineffective at picking up dust and other debris when using the main nozzle, but immediately stuck to the carpet fibres when using the crevice tool. That it’s always ready in its stand, handle pointing up, charged and ready to go, is a significant boon.

With powerful suction for such a small device, it has enough power to tackle most messy accidents that might happen around your home, although its relatively small collection bin means it’s best reserved for smaller jobs. Also, you would think a small vacuum like this wouldn’t have much capacity for the debris, no problem with this space at 159mls as this is fine for the jobs you want to use it for.
