Hoover SU 144 S Freejet / 144 S2 / 144 > Reviews (2)

This cleaner would not be suitable as your main vacuum cleaner even if you live in a very small flat, but it is useful for quick clean up jobs that would be too much trouble for a larger machine. It's rechargable so you aren't limited by a power cord and in use I found the Freejet cleaned for over 10 minutes before losing power, more than enough for most quick jobs. It doesn't use bags and the container is simple to remove and empty. The filter can be cleaned under running water as can the container. It comes complete with a charging stand that the machine stands on when not in use and there's a red light to show it's charging. One useful feature is the handle folds in half so you can store the Freejet in a small space. Performance isn't up to the standard you'd expect from a mains cleaner, but for a rechargable it's more than adequate and does pick up pet hairs, though a lot of them collect round the brush but are easy to remove. The brush can be turned off for hard floors, but I tend to use the cleaner with the brush revolving all the time. No extra tools are provided so its uses are limited, but for quick clean ups on carpets and hard floors, the Freejet is useful to have around.
