Product Information

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. 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. Whether it’s in storage mode, or you have the tube attached, when placed in an upright position, this vacuum STAYS in an upright position. Game changer! There’s so much more… The versatility of the HF500 means that it can be used upright or as a handheld device which is perfect for families like ours who need a vacuum that can be used anywhere thanks to our super messy kids!

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. 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.

The first time I pushed the floorhead along (on the wooden flooring), it didn’t seem terribly smooth, and when I came upon larger debris – for example dead grass from the recently mown lawn – it just pushed it around rather than vacuuming. I tried carpet and was met with even worse resistance and debris avoidance. Not a great start. However, I then remembered those weird wiper blade strips I’d installed and took them off, reinstating the velvet strip. Problem sorted. Let’s admit it, even if we own various other brands of vacuum cleaners, we all call them a Hoover, right? Hoover is the OG brand of vacuum cleaners and they’re still totally bossing the vacuum cleaner world with a gorgeous range of products, including the H-FREE 500 Pets. I guess the important thing to remember is that this product CANNOT be compared to a corded alternative. Hoover state that Performance Matches A Corded Vacuum and although this is definitely the most powerful cordless vacuum I have used (and I’ve used many in my time), it doesn’t compare to my favourite corded vacuum. But, really, in my opinion, you cannot compare a corded and a cordless as they are for totally different jobs… When my HF500 arrived, I couldn’t believe the size of the box. Hoover is not lying when they say this is the most compact cordless vacuum in their range. Founded in Ohio in 1908, Hoover has over 100 years of experience in developing the very best vacuum cleaners – as well as other cleaning products such as washing machines and tumble driers.

The HF500 Anti-Twist comes with an optional wall mount that can be attached to the wall for storing the appliance. Two further LED lights show the battery status and the power mode so you can stay informed of what settings you’re using and when it’s likely going to need a charge. It won’t fall over when put in the parking position I always like to give a balanced review, so of course any shortcomings need to be mentioned too. However, when it comes to this product, it’s pretty tough to find. I am a huge fan of this product and it truly does boast a number of features that sets it apart from other cordless vacuums on the market. Let’s take a look at each in turn: It’s extremely lightweight and compactSkvelá obratnosť a manévrovateľnosť: s H-FREE 500 je ľahké aj vysávanie pod nábytkom alebo okolo neho. Postará sa hravo aj o prach pod stolmi a pohovkami, kde je priestor medzi podlahou a nábytkom len 8,5 cm.
