I was intrigued by the claim that this cordless can run ‘for up to 30 minutes without any loss of high suction capacity’. Synonymous with vacuum cleaners, Hoover has been in the cleaning business for over a century so they definitely know a thing or two about suction.

It passed this with flying colours, though it must be said that I feel that the head of the vacuum itself is slightly smaller than other options that I've tested. With the hOn App, you can register your vacuum and access extra contents such as a quick guide, maintenance info alerts, troubleshooting and tips. If you live with four-legged companions, you'll probably want to opt for the Hoover Cordless HF9 Pet version instead, which features a motorised mini turbo pets brush, for getting up dog hairs and any stubborn messes. Thanks to the extra efficient 350W brushless motor, the new Hoover Cordless stick grants continuous power1 with no loss of suction: long enough to effectively clean your entire home2 (according to EN 60312-1 clause 5.

At first I thought the lights were just a nice extra, but in action, they were brilliant at spotlighting patches of dirt and hair I’d missed on both my carpet and hardwood flooring. This score shows how well each cordless vacuum cleaner picks up dust from in between the crevices that you find between traditional floorboards. An attractive and easy to use vacuum cleaner, the Hoover HF9 unfortunately can’t deal with ingrained fluff in carpet and has a flaw where it doesn’t always turn on even when charged. The Anti-Twist floorhead with integrated comb, is designed to stop hair from wrapping around the roller during cleaning to keep your new Hoover Vacuum's suction from dropping while the motorised mini power nozzle lifts stubborn pet hair from your carpet fibres.

She's tested a range of cordless vacuums from Dyson, Shark and more, this time turning her attention to the Hoover HF9 to test its suction power and ease of use.I love that the vacuum head on the HF9 fully separates apart so that you can get into the bristles and roller heads and get any nastiness out.

Debris (like food that's fallen from the counter) as well as dust and hair are no match for this vacuum on hard floors. Late or missing repayments may have serious consequences for you and cause you serious money problems. Hoover recommends using the brush and hook supplied to clean the interior of the bin – it’s not difficult, but it is a messy job.Still, with 65% collected in a single pass, I was left with no doubt that it was capable of capturing the remainder without having to make too many more passes. As someone who owns a cat and dog who feel it’s their given right to moult all over the carpets, the anti-hair feature comes as great news. It feels sturdy and premium when in regular use, with the head turning easily with the necessarily one-handed operation to get under low obstacles like sofas and cabinets and to whizz around sharp corners. EASY RELEASE PEDAL With HF9 there's no need to bend down to the floor: the practical pedal allows you to easily and conveniently detach the wand from the floor nozzle. Luckily that's far from being the case with the HF9, which was as capable on hard floors as it was on my carpet.
