The Hoover H-Free 500 excels on many important points, namely cleaning (the big one!), weight, storage and ease of use. Sure, it lets itself down a touch on bin size and battery life, but those in smaller homes or apartments probably won’t even notice. She was sent the Hoover H-Free 500 to test in her Devon home, to find out how well it performs across various floor types and how well it copes with busy family life, and her three super-fluffy, world-class-moulting dogs. The HF500 Anti-Twist comes with an optional wall mount that can be attached to the wall for storing the appliance. As most of our ground-floor is hardwood or tile, I was able to do the whole 100sq m (no motorised brush) with plenty of battery life to spare. However, if I tried to do the whole house, therefore adding four bedroom carpets and the landing runner upstairs (which needs the motorised brush-head) as well as the two tiled bathrooms and staircase, I had no chance of completing it on a single battery. While the G-Tech HyLite is smaller and can fit in a drawer, it isn’t significantly smaller than the Hoover H-Free 500. If you’re after a vacuum that you can fit easily out of the way, the Hoover H-Free 500 is by far the most powerful of the two.

Powering up the Hoover H-Free 500 cordless vacuum for the first time, I noticed two things. Firstly, it is rather loud, and, secondly, it is rather light. Since you’ll only be vacuuming for about 40 minutes max, the loudness is worth suffering to enjoy the lightness. This vacuum is so light, I didn’t need to bother switching to the handheld mode to clean sofa cushions and the top of our padded ottoman, I just hoiked the floorhead up (with one hand) and carried on cleaning. The battery is removable and you can buy a model that comes with two batteries Hoover H-Free 500 performance – Needs Turbo mode for bigger spillsNo need to worry about tangled hairs : our new ANTI-TWIST™ floorhead features an integrated comb to prevent hair wrapping around the roller during cleaning. Switch the brush bar on by pressing the CARPET button to agitate the carpet fibres to loosen dirt and debris. In general, I found the Hoover H-Free 500 cordless vacuum very pleasant to use, easy to flip between the various permutations and it was also nice not to have to keep the power button held down while you clean, unlike other more expensive options. Admittedly it was a tad louder than I am used to, or enjoy, especially in Turbo mode but by no means ear-splitting. I found this vacuum much lighter, and more flexible than my regular cordless vacuum, and I found it went far deeper under the sofas and other leg-based furniture. It was also perfect for doing the stairs – I clipped the floorhead into the handheld nozzle to make it the ideal width for the stair runner.

Given that I had to switch on Turbo mode regularly to clean up bigger spills, this isn’t a vacuum cleaner I could use for my entire house. Instead, I see it as a tool for smaller properties or as an addition to a plug-in vacuum cleaner. Spoločnosť Hoover ponúka široký sortiment príslušenstva a náhradných dielov pre váš spotrebič.

Výška len 69 cm pre pohodlné skladovanie kdekoľvek v dome. Mimoriadne malá veľkosť vysávača H-FREE 500 garantuje možnosť uskladnenia kamkoľvek potrebujete. Zároveň umožňuje príjemné a pohodlné vysávanie a dokonale čistý domov. After agreeing to switch allegiances from my premium brand cordless for five weeks to test the Hoover H-Free 500, I seriously put it through its paces on all the many and varied floor types in our (approximately 180sq m) four-bedroom family home. We’re talking solid wood and rugs downstairs and mainly carpet upstairs, plus tile in the bathrooms, utility and hall. If you buy the more expensive Pets model, you also get a small motorised brush tool, designed for clearing pet hair off stairs and the sofa.

But what about the cleaning results? In the main, I found the suction in normal power mode was good (in Turbo mode it is exceptionally good) and more than capable of dealing with the mountains of dog/child hair we tend to accrue every day meaning I would recommend it to those after a good pet vac.
