Hoover HBCA230FFK

Advantages: Great cleaning quality for such a small compact machine
Disadvantages: Couple of design flaws that just irritate

...A Hoover is a Hoover, is a Hoover - Unless it's a vacuum cleaner of course! Well how many of us incorrectly talk about using a Hoover? When in fact we're just using another Vacuum cleaner - Just one of those idiosyncrasies of life today how a manufacturers name is somehow more associated with the task or appliance being used, rather than its accurate use. However, in this instance I do have a Hoover! A genuine one. A bright blue one! So, how about a little about the company: Hoover began in America, in Ohio. Eventually it established itself in the United Kingdom, and was a major player in the early and mid 1900's dominating the Vacuum cleaning industry.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything about it

...After the sad death of my Dyson and three days without a hoover I was very pleased when a large cardboard box arrived containing my replacement - a Hoover Hurricane 350 series. I couldn't wait to get it open and get at my carpets, so out of the box it came ... eventually! It was quite large, heavy, and black (though at this point my enthusiasm was not to be dampened - I had a new hoover and I was going to like it).

It also had... Read review
