Product Information

If you struggle with heavier machines, the low weight of the H-Free 500 should certainly have grabbed your attention. Even with the wand attached and the motorised floor brush fitted, the H-Free 500 measures just 1179 x 252 x 195mm and weighs just 2.

The vacuum head detaches from the stick easily and can be reattached further down to save on storage space. The box contains : 1 x Multifunctional Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner,1 x Charger Plug, 1 x Wall Mount, 1 x 2in1 Dusting/Upholstery Tool, 1 x 22 Volt Battery Pack and 1 x Pets Turbo Brush. Disclaimer: I was sent this Hoover H-FREE 500 Pets 3in1 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner cleaner to review free of charge, but words and pictures are mine.

With the additional pet turbo brush and crevice tool, it does everything you’d want from a vacuum cleaner without taking up much space or being overly cumbersome to carry around; even kids can do it!It seems powerful compared to other stick vacuums, and the pet attachment is particularly brilliant for getting dog hair off the stairs! If you have pets with absolutely no respect for ‘no pets on the furniture’ rules, the pets turbo brush will make you feel sick with how much hair it can get out of a seemingly clean sofa. H-FREE 500’s lithium battery gives you an impressive runtime of up to 40 minutes in Auto Mode, or up to 25 minutes when using the motorized floorhead. As you might expect with such a compact vacuum cleaner, the cylinder is a bit smaller on the Hoover than the Dyson V8 Animal and the Shark IZ201UK, which means you’ll need to empty it more often. If you’re looking for a small and lightweight vacuum cleaner, the Hoover H-Free 500 could well be for you.

I have robot vacuum cleaners upstairs and downstairs which keep the majority of the floor looking OK, and a bagged, corded vacuum cleaner which performs consistently well but is heavy and cumbersome, and so doesn’t get brought out as often as it should perhaps. I then spread a teaspoon of rice onto the floor and gave the Hoover H-Free 500 a single swipe through it. There’s a Turbo mode for tough situations but you’ll only get a measly eight minutes of run time before it conks out. At the risk of sounding vacuum cleaner obsessed, a cordless stick vacuum is a must for spillages, crumbs and at the moment, pine needles.It can simply be slid into action or retracted away from the nozzle in one motion and saves you from having to root around for the correct attachment and wasting time fitting it to the end of the vacuum. The left side shows you the battery status during the cleaning session and charging, while the right side indicates the cleaning mode selected. It’s also frustrating that to get the most out of the floor head you have to manually swap out the soft strip for the wiper blades.
