HL5 Pets Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Pet Hair Attachment, Powerful Suction, Push&Lift Portable Mode, Anti Hair Wrap, LED Lights, Hepa Filter, Corded, 850w [HL500PT]

I’ve had this Hoover Hoover for 2 days and can honestly say it’s the best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever owned. My previous one was a Shark cordless which fell apart after a year of use; but with three dogs and two cats I decided to go back to a more powerful corded vacuum cleaner. Price had something to do with my choice, along with wanting a no frills upright easy to use vacuum with a reasonably sized dust collector that doesn’t need bags. Did my homework and this was best option for me. It’s just perfect. Not heavy, has wheels to move from room to room, good length cord (I can do the entire ground floor from one socket), indicator light to show you’re in carpet mode: easy to switch to hard floor mode, lights to light up area you’re vacuuming, gets close to skirting boards, extendable hose is great-easily reaches ceilings and inaccessible corners. And it picks up an amazing amount of dust fluff and dog hair/cat hair. Everywhere looks so much better. I do vacuum daily so was shocked at what it picked up. It’s neat, doesn’t take up much storage space (I tuck it into a cupboard). Icing on the cake for me is the turbo pet hair attachment, which, if you use in a circular motion, removes every hair (unlike my Shark pet hair attachment which had never worked very well as not enough power). And the cherry on top of the icing on the cake: IT NEVER RUNS OUT OF POWER BECAUSE YOU PLUG IT IN AND IT HAS A MIN-MAX SLIDER TO CHOOSE YOUR POWER LEVEL, perfect for light power on bedding, cushions etc or max power for fitted carpets. I can’t wait to try it out on my car interior. A very happy HOOVER Hoover user.

Recently adopted two rescue dogs. Unfortunately they had been in the charity dogs home for two years before we adopted them so they were accustomed to outdoor living and consequently had fabulous thick coats. They have very quickly adapted to indoor dogs and have begun to moult. They have beaten my Henry into submission and destroyed my Vax cordless dog vacuum completely. I was going to buy a Shark anti-hair wrap vacuum cleaner as I also have three long haired daughters who also moult to a lesser extent than the dogs, but the expense and reviews were concerning, then I saw this Hoover model when browsing. The reviews were pretty good and the price was reasonable so I took a chance. What a revelation! It removed the hair from my carpets easily without a bit of trouble. There is anti-wrap hair technology which is basically a big comb that collects all the straggly bits and when it is full, there is a light that turns red that informs you that it needs removing. The collection bin is easy to empty. The front roller, which is also where the comb is situated, is easily accessible and therefore easy to clean. The filters just rinse through with lukewarm water and air dry. The additional accessories work well. The lift-away feature is useful for stairs, and the electric cord is of a suitable length. It has a little slider than controls the power of suction so is equally good on rugs on the lower suction setting. My hard floors have not escaped the cleaning process either. Well impressed! It is heavier than the cordless Vax but more manoeuvrable than the Henry. It doesn’t run out of battery because it is corded. It has the ease of a cordless without the downside. The best vacuum cleaner that I’ve had for a number of decades, not just years! I personally think the results from this model Hoover is better than a Dyson or Shark and is certainly better value for money. It appears well made and sturdy so fingers crossed that it lasts a long while. Very pleased with this machine and enjoy vacuuming again.

Overall, a great little hoover with powerful suction. Pulled up more dust than my older upright Dyson. Loss of one star for being a little heavy. When you disconnect the hoover from the main body, it tends to topple over. Lastly it does not come with a brush attachment for surfaces.

Amazing hoover!!! I had a cordless before this one as it was easier on my back, but the disadvantage was that it barely sucked. I purchased the HL5 with no real expectations, but it has blown my mind! Vacuuming is done in no time! The cord is a good length and the ability to remove the body of it from the main part has made doing the stairs a doddle. Something I have always struggled with previously. Another brilliant thing about this hoover is how easy it is to keep clean. Roller pops out with a couple of clicks and the filter is easy to remove for cleaning. In a house with 3 long haired females and a dog I was worried about the hair getting wrapped up in it, but I needn't have worried. I thought my carpets were clean, but after the very first use I was horrified at how much dust it sucked up. I have no hesitation in recommending this hover.

Haven’t bought a hoover machine for years as they have been of a very poor quality. However, my Shark died after 18 months and I can’t bear Dysons so bought this on the strength of the reviews Very good suction - a real carpet gripper. Easy to go into lift away mode. Very smooth over hard floors - doesn’t scrape as other machines do and pick up on hard floors is extremely good Equally powerful suction in lift away - cleaning the stairs and the car is a breeze Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the lift away part to use just the wand with the floor head (as you could with my Shark) so it is not possible to clean under my bed or my sofas which is a niggle but, because of its other strengths, I am forgiving it this Only a crevice tool and a mini turbo brush. A brush tool for cobwebs and for car surfaces would be really useful Overall, I am really impressed with this
