Damn good Hoover . . .

Advantages: Light, efficient etc
Disadvantages: None

...Right, those members remembering Hoover Juniors, will know they are a bog standard little vaccuum, correct so far. What has changed is the design, gone is the functional practical austere look, this is the new Doctor Who of cleaners. This is the new improved "Hoover with attitude" It looks modern, stylish even, and I dare say designers have been briefed to give it a sort of "In your face image". While I have absolutely nothing against the idea of a household appliance being trendy, or even cool, I just think that we should keep out feet on the ground. "It is only a vaccuum cleaner" nothing more, nothing less. Weight is only 3.8 Kgs, very light for this type of appliance. Availability is good, you will find them everywhere. As for the price, do not pay more than £35, this seems an enormous amount of money to me, but...

Advantages: long hose that can go up the stairs
Disadvantages: noisy , dusty

...Back in the summer my vacuum died so we went searching for a new one , I decided on a Hoover because I remember years ago my mum and gran having a Hoover so I thought they would still be a good make. ~Features~ * 1800 Watt Max Motor Power * 210 Air Watts of Suction Power * Washable HEPA Filters * 4 height brush adjuster * Baglass dust container 2.5L * Onboard tools * Weighs 6.9kg The vacuum is red in colour with the front panel being in orange , at the front you will find the on/off switch , to tilt it back there is a black foot pedal which is a bit fiddly but eventually it will release and tilt . To empty the dust container you press the black button on the front of the machine and remove the panel , you then lift out the dust container , open the lid to empty. The vacuum is quite light on the stairs compared to...

Review of Hoover DM 4485 Upright

hoover vision HD 862

Advantages: NUMEROUS! PLEASE READ ON......
Disadvantages: none significant, but more than 1 yr guarantee would be nice, at the price

...young teen took to it easily, always a good thing!! It has one year guarantee, with an extra 4 years on parts, but you pay labour (has to be repaired by Hoover at Hoover prices). They also offer you 4 years labour insurance at about £180, to be arranged within 30 days. What I like best is the big drum size, quick 15 minute wash, very high spin, and fact that the drum is quite high so loading isn't such a strain on the back. The porthole is very wide and the door opens wide, although not to a full 180. All in all I think it was a sound buy. I paid £359 from a local dealer including delivery and installation and taking away all packing. I could have probably got it cheaper from a big online store but I like to support local firms and knew they would give a trustworthy service as I have bought from them before. The small neat manual...

A Little Hoover for Little housekeepers

Advantages: Keeps them entertained, actually sucks up dirt
Disadvantages: None

...This wonderful little Hoover is a must have for every house keeper. It is not only cheap but it is extremely versatile. It fits in every little nook and cranny and picks up the tiniest pieces of dust and dirt. It does not need plugging in and comes battery operated, it does not even need hoover bags. All accessories included including Hoover brush and pole. This Hoover is so house friendly she even smiles at you whilst you work. Fantastic for little hands. Unfortunately like everything there is a down side - it is only a toy. Made by Cadson this smaller version of the real Hetti Hoover has been especially designed for your little house keepers to follow you around the house. It comes in a size about a quarter of the size of the real thing and is very light weight for your little ones. Having this Hoover will mean your little...

Review of Casdon Toy Hetty Vacuum Cleaner

Hoover makes washing machines???

Advantages: fits in a king size duvet
Disadvantages: onlly 1200 spin

...My last washing machine broke down a few weeks ago and after a painful 13 days my new Hoover was delivered, no it is a washing machine just made by Hoover. I bought it from Littlewoods catalogue and it cost me £299. Setting up and installation First I had to remove all the plastic packaging and polystyrene and place the washing machine near its permanent position. Next I cut the cable tie that was holding the hose in place. Then I removed four big long fixing screws in the back of the washing machine and covered them with a cap that was provided. Next to fix a bit of insulation sheet to the bottom of the machine with some double sided sticky pads and a couple of plastic caps. I did not need to adjust the feet as the washing machine was stable and did not hop across the floor. It only has a cold fill so only one hose to fit...

Review of Hoover VHD 8122

Hoover Dustmanager Bagless Upright Cleaner.

Advantages: Extra long stair hose.
Disadvantages: Short flex.

...This hoover looks great but Im a little disappointed with it. The flex is shorter than an old hoover model that broke down after 11yrs of service. The handle seems shorter. Also you can't feel the suction from the front of the cleaner, I know im comparing it with the old model but I can't help it. The tools are in an inconvenient place at the back of the hoover because it make's it difficult to reattach the hose after stair cleaning. ( They get in the way). The bagless cassette you empty is small and for a larger house needs emptying at least twice. I have a black lab and we get alot of dog hair's i found it annoying not only emptying the cassette but also the pull out filter as it got clogged up with dog hair's , I accidently sucked up a grape and found that in the filter and not in the cassette , so watch you don't hoover up...

Review of Hoover DM4470

Vax V006 turboforce upright vacuum cleaner

Advantages: bagless, long flexible pipe attached, very long lead, good at getting up pet hairs
Disadvantages: cleaning filter, noisy, overheats

...This cleaner arrived in a box in three pieces, the instructions were not very clear but the pieces were simple enouch to work out how they should be assembled. On first use the main thing noticed was the noise, this is not a quiet vacuum for when the children are in bed. The turboforce and rotating brushes were brilliant at lifting the pile and picking up the pet hairs, fantastic i thought, but shame abouth the sound. The cable is very long so from one room to the next it is very easy to move without having to relocate the power supply. All was well although with such good pick up the waste container was soon ready for emptying. This can be a messy task as the filter needs taking out and manually tapping until it is clear of debris. Don't do this in the house or all your hard work is wasted. Unfortunately after what seemed...

Review of Vax V-066 TurboForce Power Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Hoover TC1209 - Nice cheaper quality hoover

Advantages: Small & Light, easy to carry around & easy to store
Disadvantages: Fills up quite quick

...AI bought this hoover after my trusty Henry gave up the ghost. I was looking for something cheap that would do what it says on the packet (so to speak). I only paid about £40 for this hoover & must say am very pleased with it, it has a 2000 watt motor so the suction is more than enough. The hose length is 1.5m with metal telescopic extension tubes, you can stretch it to hoover most of your stairs but I do find it easier to carry it up and place it on the steps (its narrow enough to stay there without tumbling to the bottom). It also has no problems picking up pet hair. It has a 2 litre dust collection box (bagless) with a washable filter. You also have a variable power option (so when im doing the wood floor I can turn the power down a bit as not so much suction is needed). There is a foot operated cord rewind and on/off control...

Review of Hoover TC1209

Swan 1800 watt bagless upright vacuum cleaner.

Advantages: powerful, robust,
Disadvantages: tacky onboard tools, difficult to clean top filter,scratches wood flooring.

...Purchased this from catalogue as a replacement for my 6 yr old Dyson. Overall the hoover is fairly robust. The extra wide slim brush bar is handy especially for getting under edges of furniture. It does its job. I found the powercord to be shorter than expected and have to change plug sockets fom room to room. Its awkward to clean out the filter especially the top one due to not been able to get your hand in to grab the leftover fluff etc which is remaining after emptying and tends to blog up your filter quickly during use, causing loss of suction. This needs to be checked often especially if you have a moulting dog, causing it to build up rapidly. The onboard tools are handy though slightly small and tacky. The turbine brush which clips into the handle is also robust and very powerful,it can be used by attaching onto the hose to clean...

Review of Swan SU3015 Bagless Upright

Lets Hoover up?

Advantages: Has it all! ... its very tiny!
Disadvantages: Nothing major really!

...This bagless Hoover, vacuum cleaner (weird saying that as I always call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover anyway) comes with loads of gadgets specially for the very accetable price of £60! The list is: A massive "2000W Max Motor Power"- so you know is going to pick up dust well! A "Hepa Filtration" - which filters the air, ideal for all you allergy sufferers out there! A "Pets Turbo Brush" - designed to pick up all pet hairs (really good as a lot of vacuum cleaners dont come with this and you have to purchase this seperately from the supplier) Its "Nanopack Feature" - basically its super time and can be stored in a 45cm cube! "Rubber Rotowheels" - which will protect your laminate flooring when it moves across. All "Tools on Board" - so you dont lose them or waste time looking for the one you need! The pros--- other than...
