Both the standard and Pets model come with two attachments – a crevice tool and a combination dusting brush and furniture tool. It has a drop down lid on the underside which makes it easy to move collected dirt straight into the bin and the entire thing can be removed should you wish to give the filter a thorough clean. As you’d hope, there’s a release latch to open the bin, in theory making it easy to quickly empty over the bin. Here, you can explore a range of different cordless vacuum cleaner designs with various features and attachments depending on your needs. It takes many of the best ideas from more expensive models and has brought them together in a compact and affordable package.

Featuring clever onboard tool storage and a generous-sized easy empty bin, H-FREE 100 helps get your housework finished quickly and efficiently.This provides you with the flexibility to cook multiple dishes simultaneously at different temperatures. As a cat owner, we’re used to finding balls of grey hair around the house, whether that’s on the sofa where she’s been curled up for hours or tucked behind large pieces of furniture. The main vacuum itself is the handle part, with a curved, black body that incorporates the dustbin and all the buttons you’ll need to use the vacuum.

There’s a Turbo mode for tough situations but you’ll only get a measly eight minutes of run time before it conks out. Instead of simply ramping up the main specifications for boosted suction or improved capacity, Hoover has approached the design of this device from a usability angle. When put together – which is seriously straightforward, simply slot your chosen attachment into a hole at the bottom or the end of the nozzle – we also noticed that the H-Free 300 has the ability to stand up on its own accord, meaning you don’t need to find a piece of furniture to lean against mid-clean. This has some handy LEDs to help you see where you’re cleaning and a motorised brush which can be switched on and off when needed. It is normal for re chargeable products to take up to 5 hours, some may take 12 hours to fully charge the battery, especially if the product is new.For example, the Shark IZ300UKT has a standard power setting whose suction sits between its weakest and most powerful settings, designed for everyday cleaning. When using it on corners of ceilings because it is so light you don’t get arm ache or need to hold the hoover up into the corners with two arms, unlike previous models we’ve used, and now all the winter cobwebs are gone! p>The HO9DC5S3378 is a built-in Hoover double electric oven designed to offer you versatile cooking capabilities in a sleek black finish. The H-Free 500 is the lightest and most compact cordless stick of Hoover’s range and we’ve given it the full review treatment.

Most of our cordless vacuum cleaners allow up to 30-45 minutes of cleaning time, perfect for tidying up the whole house. Hoover quotes the battery life at up to 45 minutes, but I assume that’s only possible with the motorised floor head switched off. As you can see from the chart below, the Hoover HF500 more or less holds its own in terms of suction power. You can choose lightweight wireless Hoovers with flexible tubes, making it quick and easy to clean underneath low furniture without bending. Hoover boasts that this lasts up to 25 minutes – it’s even written on the body of the vacuum for some baffling reason – but in our testing it ran for over half an hour before giving up the ghost, even with a bit of turbo mode thrown into the mix.

Cleaning performance was mostly good, although I did find myself reaching for the Turbo option frequently to really pick up the mess, and some spills took a few swipes or more to clean up everything. While the G-Tech HyLite is smaller and can fit in a drawer, it isn’t significantly smaller than the Hoover H-Free 500. That second colour is used for a few accents on the handle, but is most notable on the main shaft, which comes entirely in one colour or the other. We tested the HF500 with our usual suite of challenging tests, spilling both flour and Cheerios on both carpet and hard floor, then measuring how much the vacuum collects on a single pass. The shaft attaches and detaches with the help of a quick release button, as does the main brush head.
