Hoover Upright Vacuum Cleaner - Breeze Evo

Product Information

When you’re finished, the vacuum is light enough to carry upstairs to carry on cleaning the bedrooms. So, stair cleaning is a strong area for the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets. Pet Hair The mini motorised tool is one of the stand out features of this vacuum. Even if you don’t have pets, the compact size and rotating bristles are ideal for thorough cleaning all around the home. It’s a good width for using on stairs, and handy for areas like furniture and pet beds.

Yes, the Hoover Breeze Evo has washable filters. These need to be cleaned frequently to maintain the vacuum’s performance. Verdict The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is better at cleaning light dirt and dust than larger debris on carpets. You have to lift the vac off the floor and place it directly on top of bigger bits. Otherwise, the floorhead just pushes them around. It leaves floors clean, but expect to do a few more sweeps than you would with a more expensive vacuum. You’ll also need to play around with the brush bar height, as cleaning performance drops if the brushes are too high. The Hoover Breeze Evo has a basic design that’ll be familiar to anyone who’s used an upright vacuum before. Floor cleaning is simple enough, but changing accessories can be a fiddly experience that’s more hassle than it should be. The different height settings do come in useful for carpets. Increasing the height reduces the brush bar depth, but also makes the vacuum easier to push around, so it takes some time to find the right setup.

When in use, however, the Hoover feels light and easy to move around on different floor types. We also like the cord clip to keep the cable out of the way and prevent you from running over it. It’s a basic system, as you would expect from a budget vacuum, and it works well on loose dirt and dust. But there’s no collar system to push out clumps of hair or other debris, so you’ll sometimes need to pull these out by hand.

Breeze Evo is a long reach vacuum, with 7 metre power cable, plus extra long stretch hose and extension tube for above floor cleaning - in total up to 12.5m maximum reach. This bagless upright vacuum weighs under 5kg in use, allowing you to move it around your home without straining. With the washable EPA filter, this vacuum will capture small dust particles and keep pollutants out of the air in your home. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is great for cleaning pet hair on the floor, as well as other surfaces. So, despite its limitations in other areas, it could be a good choice for pet owners who need a vacuum on a tight budget. The 4.5 metre hose is long enough to manage a whole flight of stairs with the Hoover Breeze Evo parked at the bottom. Just be wary of stretching the hose too far, or else it can topple the vacuum over.Not sure whether to buy the Hoover Breeze Evo? Here’s our review of this popular budget vacuum cleaner.

Breeze Evo upright vacuum has an adjustable rotating brush bar, giving you the choice of five different settings. This allows you to get the best results on all the different floor types in your home, from the kitchen tiles to the fluffy carpets in the bedroom.They’re also not as effective as HEPA filters, although they are as efficient as can be expected for a vacuum in this price range. It’s certainly not the best vacuum for allergy sufferers though. Emptying and Cleaning There’s also a generous 3 litre dirt capacity that comes in handy for longer cleaning sessions. The Shark AZ910UKT, which is another pet model, only has a 0.99 litre tank. And the more expensive Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach is still smaller at 1.5 litres. In our opinion, the main downfall to this Hoover is edge cleaning. The bulky floorhead isn’t quite capable of getting larger debris from the edges of skirting boards and furniture. It leaves a wall of mess, which then means you have to go through the hassle of swapping hoses and attachments over to clean the last bits. It’s not all bad news though. At 6.4kg, it’s a fairly average weight for an upright and is around the same as the 6.5kg of the Shark NZ801UKT. While it’s heavier than some models, the weight is well-balanced and it feels light to push around. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is an affordable upright vacuum that’s designed for pet owners. A mini motorised pet tool is a welcome addition to this model, along with a large 3 litre dirt capacity and five-stage floor height selector.

litre Capacity - Which can also be emptied easily and hygienically, without exposing your hands to the dirt. When it’s time to use the tools, changing the hoses and tools over is a fiddly job. You need to disconnect and reconnect hoses and attachments each time. This is our main gripe with the cleaning performance of the Breeze Evo, especially as the main floorhead doesn’t manage edges too well, so you’ll need to use tools frequently.

Thanks to the 4.5 metre stretch hose on the Breeze Evo upright vacuum, you can reach all the way from the bottom of a typical 13-step staircase, right to the top. This is a great feature, as it means you won't have to balance the vacuum awkwardly halfway up the stairs, or risk it falling over. Breeze Evo also boasts a cable length of 7 metres, helping make your housework hassle-free. The brush roll is higher in the hard floor modes, but if you have it too high, the suction power is noticeably less effective. We do like that you can have the brush roll completely off the surface for delicate floors, though. Stair Cleaning The height selector is a useful feature, but it takes some experimentation to get right. This setting only affects the height of the brush roll, rather than power or speed, but it still changes the vacuum’s performance. If the brush roll is too high, for example, the cleaning performance suffers. Too low, and it’s hard to push around. When you fill the 3 litre capacity, emptying the bagless dirt canister is a straightforward process. There’s a wide range of tools included with this Hoover. Along with the pet tool, there’s also Hoover’s longest crevice tool, a 2-in-1 dusting brush and furniture nozzle, and an extension tube.
