Product Information

Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. The Direct Impulse Motor has been developed for consistent power output : the highly efficient motor spins at 80. It has a drop down lid on the underside which makes it easy to move collected dirt straight into the bin and the entire thing can be removed should you wish to give the filter a thorough clean. The latter is handy to keep your vacuum cleaner topped up if you don’t have power in your storage cupboard.

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations June 2014 you have a duty to take reasonable care of Products whilst they are in your possession.This model includes the standard tools, plus a Pets brush, which features motorised rotating bristles to lift cat or dog hairs and allergens from soft furnishings and carpeted stairs. As the vacuum was already part-way charged out of the box, we could also start cleaning straight away – something that we were very pleased about.

The bin bit of the Hoover H-Free 300 equation is an integral part of the design, with a drop down lid on the underside so you can dispatch collected dust and dirt straight into the trash. Rather, our First Look features are informed previews, providing a basic overview and getting a feel for the products most exciting features. A definite plus to this vacuum I found was the transition from smooth flooring (we have vinyl and ceramic in our house) to carpet and rugs. Naturally though, it’s worth considering that the life of the battery is affected depending which setting you use – while you’ll get a full 40 minutes of cleaning time in auto mode, use it on turbo and you’re looking at something closer to 15 minutes max. The main floor brush makes light work of crumbs and we were surprised at how well it picked up larger pieces of dirt too, especially when on full power.Like other Hoover models, there’s also a rubber wiper in the box, which can be inserted into the floor brush for better suction on hard floors and a wall-mounting kit, which allows you to hang it up on the wall or inside a cupboard. Rob Clymo has been a tech journalist for more years than he can actually remember, having started out in the wacky world of print magazines before discovering the power of the internet. There’s also the Hoover H-Free 300 Pets edition too, which comes complete with a motorized mini turbo brush for taking on those more extensive pet fur and hair tasks. Hoover provides a single battery for this model, which can be charge in-situ, or pulled out and charged separately. The inexpensive solution we sought, pulled a surprising amount of dust out of our rugs first time used.
