Hoover 500 AMAZON EXCLUSIVE 3in1 Dual Battery Cordless Vacuum, Light, Agile, Compact, H-FREE 500 HF522LEN

When I first received the vacuum and looking at the box it seemed a bit too small for a vacuum to be in there, but this shows how space saving it can be Both myself and my wife have been using this hoover for over 6 weeks now, and can say that I am very impressed with it. Both myself and my wife put together some pro and cons for the vacuum so you can see how we liked and disliked it. There are more pro then con for this vacuum. Where the cons are: - Charging time - Hard floor cleaning - Battery life (when using turbo mode) - only two tools. Pro - Two batteries (21.6 V 2500mah - Each) - Brush on the wand pick up hair from carpet very well - Brush has a notch to cut out the wound-up hair - Space saving - Stands by itself - High suction (Only on turbo mode) - Easy empty rubbish - Light weight - Handy light on floor so you when the brush is working - One button start As you can see that there are more pros for them vacuum then cons for the price and features you cannot go wrong. I would have liked a few more tools so I could use it within the car as with the attach tool it can be a bit fiddley. The brush is very easy to clean out just have to unclip the roller and the whole brush pops out. The vacuum glides over floors and is very easy to move around been that it is light weight. Threre are different models you can choose from and you will need to get the one that will suit you home.

I have tried so many cordless Vacuums in the past so I was a bit sceptical about spending so much on a new one, I am so glad that I did.I have a cat and a dog so obviously I need a powerful cleaner with good suction and brush head to be able to clean up all the hair and mess animals make.Due to arthritis I found the standard Vacuum heavy and bulky as I had to have one upstairs and one downstairs as lifting one up and down the stairs was sometimes a problem. This Vacuum is so lightweight I can easily carry it up and down the stairs, so I really recommend it if you do have similar issues.All of the tools and accessories fit on the Vacuum so no worries about losing them or in my case the dog finding them and eating them :-) and changing the tools is so easy same when wishing to turn the cleaner into a handheld.... simple press of a button and you have a handheld.As this is a pet Vacuum it has to be powerful, I would say that on standard mode it does not have the power to pick up all the hair on carpet, duvets etc so you really need to use the turbo mode. The turbo mode gives a huge power boost to the Vacuum but does drain the battery VERY quickly, but you really only need it when picking up stubborn pet hair. On standard mode it is powerful enough to be used for general day to day cleaning and dusting etc.The brush works really well on carpet and can be switched off for use on a hard floor. Also the pet brush attachment works really well at picking up pet hair or carpet with heavy footfall where it gets a lot of use and would need the extra brush.There are 2 batteries supplied with this Vacuum, which I thought excellent a bonus, but actually you will need both batteries fully charged to hopefully do the entire house obviously depending on how big your house is and how many pets or messy kids you have or a messy husband.... if you are someone who Vacuums every day then you may be OK as you will have less dirt to worry about and can fly thru the cleaning. But if you need to use the turbo mode use it wisely as you will run out of power quickly. I wish the charger came with 2 charger cables so we could charge both batteries at once in 6 hours instead of 12 hours.The dirt collection cylinder needs to have the instructions printed on it for people like me who do not read the instructions :-) when I first emptied the container I noticed it was small and I had to stick my fingers inside it to pull out all the dust and hair. Then one day I accidentally pushed the middle section of the container up and voila out the middle came out and emptying it is now so much easier.The dirt collection chamber is quite small so you have to empty it move frequently that some others but for the extra power and how easy it is to empty I am OK with this.In the end I guess I am more than happy with this Vacuum, clears the space of two Hoovers, means I can take it up and down the stairs easily, has great power when needed. What more could you want.... well maybe a bit cheaper would have helped, but it sometimes is true that you get what you pay for and on this occasion that is true. I just hope it lasts a long time to justify the price.....

This cordless vacuum cleaner wasn't on my radar until I tried out some other brands and realised how heavy they felt in use. I decided that some of the brands were too expensive and then stumbled across the Hoover H-FREE 500 range. These cordless cleaners are light, maneuverable and easy to use. I bought the version with two batteries as I liked the idea of longer cleaning times. This is a very good vacuum cleaner and makes cleaning much quicker than the corded version it replaces. It is easy to store and I use it to clean the whole house and it can easily be pulled out to tackle smaller jobs. The only downside is that it could do with a wider range of attachments. A proper crevice tool and a hose with a duster attachment would make it perfect. A good product that has been very well designed. It is an allrounder that can tackle most cleaning tasks.

Hoover H-FREE 500 Pets Energy 3in1, advertised as a pet hoover, it was my first choice. We have a Newfoundland dog, and a cat, and the dog casts a lot of hair.Having being used to a standard upright vacuum cleaner all my life, this was a shock, small, neat & compact, and weighing very little compared to a standard upright, cordless being a great benefit with young children around.Only 2 rooms & the stairs have carpets, the rest of the house is hard floor.Carpets in carpet mode), and the hard floor just on normal running mode. Power was excellent, and I am comparing to my 12 year old upright, moved dog hairs and biscuit crumbs with off the carpet no problem, and as you would expect the hard floors were easy to vacuum, with the light on the front being very handy to see dust on the hard floor, also cleared dog hair off the coir door mat (carpet mode) with no effort, it was noticeable that on carpet & coir mat, the hoover seemed to bounce off the floor occasionally, probably because of its weight.Because of the small size of the rotating brush bar, I had to remove it and clear it of hair, it was easily detached,and hair came off no problem, but it basically means I would need to clear the brush bar after every use, which surprised me considering it seems to try to appeal to pet owners, also need to empty the waste container after every use, not very convenient, but when things are scaled down in size, its to be expected.Stairs, for this I went hand held, and I used the Motorised Pets Turbo Brush, worked well, very little noise, (just as well because my partner is on night shift, so was sleeping, but she never heard anything), love the fact there was no trailing cable, and no long attachment to hold, however, hairs wrapped round the roller, and no access to the roller to clear them, (as the unit is sealed), except from the area where the dirt goes in, clear after each use, and should not be a problem.Turbo is noticeably more powerful, only lasts 8 minutes per battery, very handy for quick jobs like the car or stairs.Filters were easy to remove and clean, although a small bristle brush would be a handy attachment for cleaning the metal filter inside the waste box, just used a kitchen Dish Brush.All in I first impressions are good, be interesting to see what the life expectancy of he batteries is, from real use, not factory use.Its now 2 weeks later, love this Vacuum cleaner, the twins are even using it to do there rooms, and they are only 6, but its so light its easily manageable for them.Never going back to bulky, corded vacuum cleanersUnfortunately mid july the rubber on the handle has started flaking and falling off, only 4 months after purchase, see pic. Changed the rating to reflect this

Bought a Dyson two years ago and it packed in. It wasn't cheap either. The Hoover is much better, doesn't run out after a few minutes and you can hoover the whole house in one go. Would recommend big time.
