Product Information

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.

It's a useful mode to have and one that I enjoy using in especially hair-prone areas, but make sure not to have it turned to 'Boost' all of the time if you're conscious of using up the battery. It lags behind the soft rollers of the Shark and Vax models, though, which both tackle Cheerios well. It even left those lovely triangles on the carpet surface that cleaning influencers on Instagram often show off. Similarly, it's hard to ignore the appeal of something like the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute if you love that brand.

The ‘pet’ version is worth it if you’re continually cleaning up hairs and if anythng goes wrong, the five-year warranty gives you peace of mind. You can quickly whip around with it and get those balls of fluff plus crumbs and other daily detritus sucked up in a flash. The design also features anti-twist technology that minimises the chance of hair – both human and pet from getting entangled in the rollers.

From there, you just stand over your household bin, open the trap door on the bottom and everything usually drops out. Throw in crevice and upholstery tools, plus the option to upgrade to a Pet edition, you have a machine that can pretty much take care of cleaning every nook of your home. According to Hoover, it’s twice as powerful as Shark’s best-selling cordless model (although it doesn’t specify which).It’s certainly much more capable in the suction department, even if the battery levels do seem to go down faster than my trusty H-Upright 300 Pets model. The light on the front of the suction head showed us exactly where the dust was while the wheels made manoeuvring the device easy.
