Hoover Breeze Pet Upright Vacuum Cleaner, 850W Motor [TH31 BO02]

Have not had to purchase a vacum for years but mine finally wore out, i wanted a upright vacum with a lead and i relied on customer reviews ( thank you ) to help me choose the right one. This Hoover Breeze EVO is wonderful, very well made and sturdy , comes fully assembled apart from just putting on the handle with the one screw provided. It's lighter than my old vacum and works so much better, i also love the hose , it seems short when you see it but extends a long way so much better than my old vacum . I haven't used the pet hair remover as don't have pets but i'm overall very pleased, also the dust bin is large which is a great help. I would highly recommend , also good for the price.p,s, i have now used this vacum and love the brush head attachment , ran over my mattress in seconds and fantastic on my settee and armchair , i really wished that i had bought this vacum sooner. Also great sucktion with pipe and reaches all the places my old vacum never use to.

Had this for three months now, used daily and I have no complaints. The suction is superb, with settings depending on hard floor or carpet pile. All the tools are contained neatly with the hoover itself so everything is at hand. The stretch hose is perfect for the stairs, makes life so much easier. What’s noticeable is how bad my old vacuum was compared to this. Highly recommended.

Good value when compared in price to others on the market. Great suck when used on carpeted and uncarpeted floors and as I had been without a vacuum cleaner for several weeks the cannister was soon full so resorted to instructions for how to remove it, empty it, clean and replace filters etc. No problem. On first use, because I have a number of rugs with very thick pile as well as an area of thinner carpet and some plain wood floors, I did need to resort to instructions in order to discover for myself the best setting for the switch on the front of the thing. Here I must complain. I am very elderly, my fingers are arthritic, and that damned switch - which needs to be adjusted a number of times during each cleaning session, dependant on which floor surface requires cleaning, is the very devil. It is appallingly stiff and with very little leverage to turn it. A pity because it makes floor cleaning a real pain if, like me, you go from thin carpet, to wood, to thicker pile larger rug, to vinyl in every cleaning session. Now! The tools! I don't have animals so the pet gadget doedn't concerne me. However, I did hope, with the use of the long suction tube and the 2 rigid extension pipes, to be able to suck out from under the beds which stand on wooden floors, the dust which regularly accumulates. Being old and a bit feeble, I was hoping not to have to shove beds backwards and forwards and side to side in order to use the basic vacuum. I Had assumed the rigid tubes and one of the brush attachments would do the job. However, the suction through the hose and the tubes and the brush attachment is so feeble that no dust is picked up. I do not kniow why. I have emptied the cannister and removed and cleaned all filters, detached the hose at both ends to check for obstruction, but the suck remains extraordinarily feeble. It is incomprehensible to me. I have set the number on t he aforementioned front switch to 5, which is what the instructions direct the user to do when using tools. but still no suck through either the hose itself or the hose plus tubes. I cannot find any ot her review which mentions this, althouh I admit I haven't read them all. So in summary, this vacuum is lightweight, which is what I wanted, it is marvellous for floor surfaces, provided the user is prepared to adjust the settings several times during use, doing battle with that wretched front switch. switch. which is inconvenient both in position - right down almost at floor level so unkind to stiff backs and knees- and in design, So in summary, Good price when compared with others on the market, almost no suction when trying to use tools - I gave up! - and a VERY badly designed and inconveniently sited floor brush adjustment switch. I now wish to amend the above review, Having expressed disappointment with the poor suction when using the tools, I spent most of this sfternoon burrowing into reviews and information provided by youTube contributors. I discovered finally that there was a blockage right inside the head of the vscuum which prevented a viral flap from closing when the switch ion the head was turned to the tool position. Lots of poking about with a flexible length of plastic ensued, quite a bit of dust and debris appeared, I emptied the dist cannister yet again, cleaned the filters again, reassembled the entire thing and, behold, there is now magnificent suction through the rigid tubes and the flexible tube. For the assistance of anyone reading this, the blockage was deep inside the opening into which the bottom end of the flexible tube is attached. So finally, I do indeed now have the truly excellent vacuum for which I hoped when I ordered this. Furthermore, the switch on the head the stiffness of which I complained aboutearlier now moves freely. Clearly whatever blockage existed was affecting the function of this switch as well as the suction when using the tools. I hope this information helps any ot her puyrchaser who has been as disappointed as was I by the vacuum's performance. Judging by the large number of comments which appeared when I Googled my dissatisfaction with the suction along with the model's name and number, this is quite a common problem.

Great hoover picks up all dog hair efficiently, good selection of tools included and actually very quiet .

Great suction, is light, good cord length Im really happy with the performance.

Has good suction and tools but is nowhere near as good overall as my old Hoover turbo which it replaced. Brittle plastic, shorter electrical cable, shorter flexible pipe, flimsy and falls over frequently when using it. It's also a pain to have to constantly change the floor setting as there doesn't seem to be one that does most floors, an automatic setting would be good. It works and it's a reasonable price but really hope Hoover will use common sense and get back to their previous Hoover turbo model, which was brilliant, before I have to buy another. Would've happily paid a little bit more to get the older model. Have now used it a few times, it seems to be blowing dust everywhere when I use the tools rather than the upright hoover, can't see any way to stop this happening.

My carpet is nearly 10 years old...... Wow after using the hoover breeze once, my carpet looks amazing. It's so easy to use and empty. A little weighty but would still highly recommend it.

This hoover is light, as other reviews mention. Anyone with a shoulder/arm/back issue will find that this hoover is easier to move and use than many others. It empties easily but pet hair does often get stuck up near the top and is a pain to try and get out. It also didn't take long for it to start smelling of dog when used. I don't know if it's because the filters are good or bad but it's a thing. The hose does reach up 13 stairs and the small stair attachment is fabulous. It can be a pain to put the attachment in if the hoover is running because it spins up quickly and if you try to rotate it to get it in place, it unlocks the mechanism to clean the attachment. It's convenient to have one setting to use over the whole house, carpet or hard floor. There are multiple settings but for the typical carpet you shouldn't have to change it. What I hate? It doesn't stop the beater-brush when you remove the hose to use any attachment which can be scary for cord placement. I often fear I'll turn around and the beater-brush will have damaged the cord. Also, I cannot tell you the number of times the bloody thing has fallen over and hit me when I'm using the hose and attachments (like to hoover under a bed). I have been hit in the back and head so anyone with any issues there should be careful. What I love? It's quiet enough to use in the middle of the night to suck up large spiders without waking the house. It's also powerful enough to kill the spider once sucked up so it' doesn't suffer. Finally, it's easy to empty the spider outside or into a bin without having to get close to it. It does a decent enough job for the price.
