Hoover Upright Vacuum cleaner, HU500SBH, Floor Sensor, No loss of suction, HEPA, Multi-cyclonic, H-UPRIGHT 500 Plus, Blue

Product Information

There’s a reason that upright vacuum cleaners remain so popular: they’re easy and convenient to use, and quick to get going. Once complete, I had a relatively clean path through the middle; there was a faint line at the sides, however, where just surface-level dirt had been picked up. When the collector is taken off and the machine is turned on the filtered area below the collector sucks, not blows.

The long reach of this Hoover is enough to cover a whole flight of stairs, so you won’t need to balance the vac on a step.

H-UPRIGHT 500 REACH uses advanced multi-cyclonic technology for improved dust separation, pushing dust away from the filter, and helping the filters stay cleaner for longer.

Running the vacuum cleaner along the skirting board, the H-Upright 500 Plus didn’t perform particularly well at the edges. If you’re on a tight budget, then the extra hassle of having to clip in the hose may just be worth it. Finally, I combed cat hair into the carpet and then ran the vacuum cleaner through on Automatic mode. It struggles on most hard surfaces and is close to useless at getting dust out of gaps between floorboards.Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ.
