HooverCylinder Vacuum Cleaner Bagless, Breeze with HEPA Filter, Lightweight & Compact, Pet Tool, Blue [BR71 BR02]

I love this cleaner. We got it yesterday for my mother. I unplugged and had it ready to go in a minute or two.It moves around the floor really easily and has excellent suction. Switching floor surfaces involves sliding the big stitch on the top of the hoover head, which wasn't as easy as the top button you press down on some machines, but straightforward enough. It really grips the floor well and the suction is powerful. Still easy to move around though.It is such a lightweight cleaner too, and the head is good quality and tough to take knock. As you whiz around the house.There were two other heads included, a smaller stairs brush head and a tiny little thing for getting into gaps. That just wasn't very long.The only negatives are that when the cleaner head and pipe clip into the back of the machine to store, it can take up more space than you should need. Also, when cleaning you can find the top pipe twists in the bottom, making the head turn out of alignment a bit. Simple points that really don't make a difference but just stop the cleaner being perfect.All in all, one of the best vacuum cleaners you will get for under a hundred pounds.Well recommended.

Ok first, we bought this as due to illness I can’t lift heavy things and needed a lightweight, easy to use vacuum. We have two dogs, one moults heavily year round. In order to keep up with the amount of vacuuming that needs to be done we have a Henry for monthly use (boyfriend does that), a hand held for daily use and this Hoover for weekly.However, the pet brush is useless for the task at hand (Collie hair) and gets tangled in minutes. It’s a shame the pet hair brush tool couldn’t stand up to Collie hair but to be fair, I haven’t found one yet that can. So I just use the standard brush in combination with the other vacuums and it’s fine for that. The suction is pretty powerful for such a small machine and it’s performance on laminate and linoleum is great, on carpet and rugs average.The cord is quite short and could do with being much longer for our home but as it’s light it isn’t a problem moving it around. The brush and stair attachments are handy for skirting boards, radiators and window sills, the cylinders and filters easy to access and clean, which is good because with these dogs and rural living it fills up pretty fast. It’s also not too loud, light enough to lift for ceilings and crevices and dinky enough for smaller storage cupboards. I saw in another review that the Hoover itself can get static and attract hairs. This does happen a little but I just vacuum them off!So - if you want one stand alone pet vacuum cleaner that can do everything in a larger home that requires frequent heavier cleaning it’s not the one.If, however - you DON’T have pets with fur and lighter cleaning to do in a smaller home it’s a nifty bit of kit that does the job, particularly on hard flooring.- If you DO have pets that don’t moult very much and a small home it’s a good easy to handle machine that’s easy to look after and convenient to use, clean and store.- If like us, you have heavier cleaning to do and much hairier pets it’s good as a fast and easy back up for weekly maintenance cleaning in conjunction with a meaner machine for regular deep cleans.

Excellent vacuum cleaner. Light easy to use, has power. Great retail price, value for money. Thanks.

It's as hoped for. Strong suction which is adjustable, neat shape, easy enough to empty, my opinion, not rocket science! I like it.Only downside is that the cord length is a bit shorter than I'm used to, but other than that, I highly rate it. Especially the price.

The hose which fits to the vacuum front is very weak and poorly made i dread having to take it out or put it in. It like a plastic pump which you hear clicking in but most of the time it is silent so you have to keep putting in and out until you can hear you did it right, like it doesn't engage very well, also emptying the bin is a chore and not quick to do or put back together

Perfect size for what we wanted, good tools as well. Easy to empty, and lightweight. Picks up well even dog hairs!

The suction on the hoover is powerful (be aware if you're after something lightweight), as this requires muscle power to get the hoover to move, especially over carpets. The setting can be changed, but I find the carpet setting wasn't enough to pick everything up, but the hard floor setting was over the top. I clean it out after every use and have found that it's losing a little of the suction. Could be a good thing with how much it was when first it use, but it remains to be seen whether it will last in the long run. Another thing is, the noise level. My husband thought something was taking off when I first put it on! This isn't the quietest of vacuums. Other than these points, it's a vacuum that's just used for around the house and has got the job done many times. If you're looking for a good vacuum that doesn't break the bank, then this is a good enough choice.
