Its neck is a little limited in movement to just tilt and swivel, but the underside of the floor-head is well thought out, with four wheels and air-channels that run out to the side of the head. Glide effortlessly around your home and enjoy the benefits of a powerful cyclonic clean for up to 25 minutes at once. For me, it’s impossible to reach if I have the cleaner in my left hand, and the lever digs into the top of my finger. Over time, dust, dirt and allergens can accumulate in these hard-to-reach areas, but this cordless stick vacuum makes short work of them.

On shorter-pile wool carpets, passing over the same area time and time again, it did pick up the majority of hairs. Being disabled I need something light and easy to use, this ticks all the boxes and I'll never go back to anything else. This stick vacuum offers convenient cordless cleaning throughout your home, with powerful 22v lithium performance. Freedom cleans your floors beautifully thanks to its rotating brush bar, but it can also be used as a handheld vacuum in your car, on your stairs or on just about any other surface in the home. The upholstery tool features a basic but functional design, with cut-outs to stop it sticking to your sofa.

The tool complement is complete with an extension tube and a basic, but again very serviceable, crevice tool.

It impressed us with great performance, but considering cordless vacuums are not designed to be your main vacuum, we think it's very expensive. A powerful 22 V motor uses the latest cyclonic vacuum technology to suck up dirt more effectively for great results each time. With no dedicated hard-floor head you’ll need to use the standard floor-head, even though the brush can’t be switched off.

Using the cleaner above floor level, the angular design causes various edges of plastic to dig into your hand. Freedom 2in1 is a cordless stick with integrated handle, fully accessorised to make cleaning your home effortless.

You can freshen up sofas and curtains with the handy Upholstery Tool and, because this model uses Cyclonic Technology, there’s no need for a bag. Powered by lithium-ion batteries, Freedom delivers up to 25 minutes of suction power without fading: plenty of time to clean a typical sized home from top to bottom.

Freedom is the popular range of cordless vacuum cleaners from Hoover, designed to help make housework less of a hassle. Powerful, fade-free suction and a range of attachments make the FD22RP a versatile vacuum cleaner for your whole house.
