Product Information

HF9 Double Battery - The double battery HF9 model with 2 battery packs and an additional motorised mini turbo brush. After emptying the bin, we then tried the upholstery tool and the crevice tool on the sofa (plus cushions) and skirting board respectively. Two silicone strips at the back mean you can set the body down horizontally without it falling over. The design is well thought out and straightforwardly modular, with two connection points in the shaft.

The first few times it happened I thought the battery had run down, but on plugging it into the mains charger I saw it always had over 70% left, and would only turn on after it had been plugged in a few minutes. It even left those lovely triangles on the carpet surface that cleaning influencers on Instagram often show off. I did see some left in tiny cracks between the laminate tiles, but the crevice tool finished the job.

After doing the floors and the upholstery on a small flat, and then vacuuming the floors for a second time, we only used about 20 minutes of charge – this, we felt, was a pretty decent result.

As with the HF500 before it, this is a latch in the ankle joint of the vacuum that’s strong enough to hold the extension wand and vacuum unit upright if you want to walk away from it. Emptying is straightforward but you still get a bit of dusty blowback and you may sometimes need to poke around inside to get some of the contents out. In fact its efficient power management and powerful brushless motor will clean 120sqm of hard floor and carpet, with no loss of suction, from a single battery pack. Easy to manoeuvre, it has an ergonomic handle, adjustable suction, and an Anti-Twist™ design to prevent hair tangling. Above the buttons is a simple screen with icons showing what mode you’re in (carpet or hard-floor) and whether Turbo is engaged.

With its larger capacity and extra accessories, it’s much better suited to larger homes and more demanding jobs. We tried all of the accessories, from hoovering sofas to skirting boards and we also tested the suction head on hardwood floors, lino and rugs. Perfect balance of performance and runtime Thanks to its efficient power management and powerful brushless motor, HF9 delivers the perfect balance of outstanding suction power along with a max runtime of 30 minutes with main motorized nozzle - long enough to clean a 100sqm home, with no loss of suction (according to EN 60312-1 clauses 5.
