Hoover 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]

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.

This hoover is amazing my carpets are cleaner then they have ever been and with minimal effort. The suction levels are great so you only need to make one pass plus with how lightweight and easy to manoeuvre it doesn't take long at all to hoover, and it removes dog hairs like nobodies business . The main body can be easily detached for more hard to reach places and the attachment for cleaning upholstery is brilliant it even cleaned my dogs bed with ease. It's very well built, very well thought out design and does exactly what it claims to if you're a dog owner buy this hoover it'll make your life so much easier

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.

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.

This is amazing brilliant product value for money should have purchased this months ago. The only thing I have to complain about is the anti hair wrap does not work I lose what feels like a full head daily but after vacuuming I took the brush out and yip the hair was wrapped round the brush but very easy to remove. Would recommend this product easy to build sturdy and a bit weighty bit not drastic the flex length let's me do the whole house from one plug which is a big plus for me. I vacuumed last night and I live here myself my grandkids haven't visited this week.

We had this for a year and really liked it. Easy to use and really good suction. Just after the one year warranty ended it stopped working properly. It overheated, and the suction didn't work. I tried several things over several weeks; I replaced the filter, and took it apart to make sure nothing was being blocked still no luck. When I called Hoover, they told me that I was past the warranty (by two months by the time I called, but it stopped working just weeks after the warranty ended), so there was nothing they could do, but I could pay for it to be repaired which is likely what I will do. However, I will never buy a Hoover again or recommend this to anyone. I have also been told by two other people who have the same vacuum the same thing happened to them. Am I being unrealistic to expect a vacuum to last longer than a year? Most other vacuums I have had did. If you do decide to purchase, definitely get an extended warranty.
