Hoover Upright Vacuum Cleaner - Breeze Evo

Product Information

Like most upright vacuum cleaners, the floorhead has a rotating brush bar to agitate carpet fibres and loosen the pile for a deeper clean. 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 But the hose and tool setup is a flawed design that we can’t overlook. While it’s useful to have two different hoses, it’s frustrating to unclip them, swap them over, and then add your tool each time you want to use it.

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. Not sure whether to buy the Hoover Breeze Evo? Here’s our review of this popular budget vacuum cleaner. The Hoover Breeze Evo uses standard washable filters. They’re effective enough at retaining dust and dirt, but they tend to clog fairly easily and need regular maintenance to maintain suction.The fixed steering position of the floorhead will appeal to those who dislike balancing a swivel system. But it does make it harder to navigate the Breeze Evo around a furnished home. Especially as it’s quite a short and bulky floorhead, so it’s not ideal for getting under furniture or into tight spaces. Other Tools and Accessories There also isn’t a motorised attachment, which would be handy for carpeted stairs. You have to upgrade to the Pet model of the Breeze Evo to get one of these. But the basic range of tools still helps with cleaning right into the corners. Pet Hair 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.

Hoover has also included five height settings for the brush roll to suit different floors. On hard floors, for example, you can raise the brush to protect the surface and avoid sending debris scattering across the floor. These settings are adjusted using a simple rotary dial – there are no foot controls like on some pricier vacuums. 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.

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. 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 canister is transparent plastic and there’s a “MAX” line showing when it needs emptying. One button removes the canister from the vacuum and another opens the trap door, so you can hold it in a bin bag to help stop dirt from spilling out. For a budget vac, we think the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets performs pretty well – as long as your expectations are realistic. It doesn’t have the same suction power as a premium cleaner, but it’s still decent for the price. Just expect to do a few extra sweeps to completely clean a floor. litre Capacity - Which can also be emptied easily and hygienically, without exposing your hands to the dirt.
