But the hose and tool setup is a flawed design that we can’t overlook. While it’s useful to have two different hoses, it’s frustrating to unclip them, swap them over, and then add your tool each time you want to use it. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is great for cleaning pet hair on the floor, as well as other surfaces. So, despite its limitations in other areas, it could be a good choice for pet owners who need a vacuum on a tight budget. For a budget vac, we think the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets performs pretty well – as long as your expectations are realistic. It doesn’t have the same suction power as a premium cleaner, but it’s still decent for the price. Just expect to do a few extra sweeps to completely clean a floor. Additionally, the onboard storage feels more hassle than it’s worth. The accessories fall off easily, especially the extension pipe. The long hose is also a nightmare, as it flaps around or slips off altogether. You might want to store it elsewhere and grab it when required. Filtration It’s not all bad news though. At 6.4kg, it’s a fairly average weight for an upright and is around the same as the 6.5kg of the Shark NZ801UKT. While it’s heavier than some models, the weight is well-balanced and it feels light to push around.

Yes, the Hoover Breeze Evo has washable filters. These need to be cleaned frequently to maintain the vacuum’s performance. Verdict Firstly, the belt on the floorhead is prone to snapping or falling off, so it requires some upkeep. As do the filters, which need regular cleaning to prevent clogs. Breeze Evo is a long reach vacuum, with 7 metre power cable, plus extra long stretch hose and extension tube for above floor cleaning - in total up to 12.5m maximum reach. This bagless upright vacuum weighs under 5kg in use, allowing you to move it around your home without straining. With the washable EPA filter, this vacuum will capture small dust particles and keep pollutants out of the air in your home. As you’d expect for a vacuum in this price range, it doesn’t use HEPA filters. These are the gold standard for filters as they catch 99.97% of microparticles, like pollen and bacteria.The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets has similar features to the standard Hoover Breeze Evo, but comes with an extra mini motorised turbo brush. This accessory has rotating brushes to agitate fibres, making it useful for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and car interiors.

The Hoover Breeze Evo is intuitive to use for floor cleaning. There are two foot pedals, one to recline the vacuum and another to switch it on, making it convenient to use. We also like that the Breeze has a rotary dial to adjust the height of the brush bar, allowing you to clean different surfaces with relative ease. The 4.5 metre hose is long enough to manage a whole flight of stairs with the Hoover Breeze Evo parked at the bottom. Just be wary of stretching the hose too far, or else it can topple the vacuum over. Includes non-motorised accessories with onboard storage (including a dusting brush and upholstery tool) The tools are useful for above-floor cleaning. However, there isn’t a mini turbo tool included – you’ll need to buy the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets vacuum if you want one. Hoover Breeze Evo Suction Power and Cleaning Performance This is a pretty standard range of non-motorised accessories, although it is nice to see a longer crevice tool than you find on a lot of modern vacs.When you fill the 3 litre capacity, emptying the bagless dirt canister is a straightforward process. There’s also a generous 3 litre dirt capacity that comes in handy for longer cleaning sessions. The Shark AZ910UKT, which is another pet model, only has a 0.99 litre tank. And the more expensive Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach is still smaller at 1.5 litres. At 6.4kg, the Hoover Breeze Evo also isn’t the lightest upright vacuum. For example, the Shark NV702UK is a lighter 5.2kg, and the Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach is a bit less at 6.1kg. The floorhead on the Hoover Breeze Evo provides strong performance for such an affordable cleaner. It looks basic and clunky, and there aren’t any headlights, but it’s effective for floor cleaning. We think the Hoover Breeze is a decent upright vacuum for the price, but only if you can overlook some significant flaws.

Breeze Evo is a bagless vacuum with large 3 litre capacity and a mini turbo brush to help loosen stubborn pet hairs from your carpets or upholstery. The 4.5m stretch hose is long enough to clean a full 13-step staircase, without having to balance the cleaner halfway up the stairs. Suitable for different floor types, Breeze Evo has a rotating brush bar that can be adjusted to suit different floor types. This lets you deep clean carpets with different pile lengths, yet still glide smoothly on hard floors. In our opinion, the main downfall to this Hoover is edge cleaning. The bulky floorhead isn’t quite capable of getting larger debris from the edges of skirting boards and furniture. It leaves a wall of mess, which then means you have to go through the hassle of swapping hoses and attachments over to clean the last bits. Stairs are a strong point for the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets, as the stretch hose is long enough to cover a whole flight in one go. Just make sure it’s at the bottom of the stairs, as the hose can topple the vacuum over if stretched too far. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is better at cleaning light dirt and dust than larger debris on carpets. You have to lift the vac off the floor and place it directly on top of bigger bits. Otherwise, the floorhead just pushes them around.It leaves floors clean, but expect to do a few more sweeps than you would with a more expensive vacuum. You’ll also need to play around with the brush bar height, as cleaning performance drops if the brushes are too high. There also isn’t a motorised attachment, which would be handy for carpeted stairs. You have to upgrade to the Pet model of the Breeze Evo to get one of these. But the basic range of tools still helps with cleaning right into the corners. Pet Hair The Hoover Breeze Evo has a basic design that’ll be familiar to anyone who’s used an upright vacuum before. Floor cleaning is simple enough, but changing accessories can be a fiddly experience that’s more hassle than it should be.

The rotating brush bar, with its variable height settings, is a good feature that makes this vacuum more versatile. It comes with a few helpful accessories, too. When it’s full, there’s one button to remove the canister from the vacuum, so you can hold it inside a bag to minimise how much dust escapes. Then there’s another button to open the flap and empty it. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is an affordable upright vacuum that’s designed for pet owners. A mini motorised pet tool is a welcome addition to this model, along with a large 3 litre dirt capacity and five-stage floor height selector.The hose and all accessories can be stored neatly on board the vacuum cleaner, for convenience and easy storage. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets has a basic floorhead with a motorised brush bar for deeper cleaning. There aren’t any headlights or advanced features, but it does a decent job on most floor types. When you’re finished, the vacuum is light enough to carry upstairs to carry on cleaning the bedrooms. So, stair cleaning is a strong area for the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets. Pet Hair As the two Breeze Evo vacuums are almost identical in design, however, we’re not surprised they have similar issues. One of those is the crowded appearance, which is even worse on the Breeze Evo Pets due to the extra tool. While there is onboard storage, it’s often easier to just store the attachment elsewhere.
