Hoover H-Lift 700 Pets XL 3in1 Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, HL700PXL, Lift-Out, Stick, Powerful, HEPA, Extra Tools - Grey/Red

You don't realise how rubbish your old vacuum is until you get a good one. And that's exactly what happened to us! We have had a Henry for quite a while and this seemed to be doing a great job, but in an effort to stop using bags we wanted to look for an alternative. We came across the H-Lift 700 Pets XL and went all in (purchased at £170) as we didn't have Dyson money to spend, and the feature set looked perfect for us.Well, let me tell you, that first vacuum session after it arrived was eye opening! After putting the Hoover together, which was incredibly easy by the way, and running this round the first half of the room I was astounded and what this thing was picking up! You think you have everything clean until something like this comes along. We had to empty the bin several times during our excursion through the house, making up for years of cleaning missed by our poor little Henry. He really had his work cut out for him poor little guy.The vacuum itself is easy to manoeuvre in it's upright form, with movement forward helped by the spinning brushes. But if you need to get underneath some furniture, or just find it too heavy to move like this, you can take the main body off and just use the stick. My wife found this particularly useful especially as she is 37 weeks pregnant! And for those edges, corners and hard to reach places, the house detaches from the stick to enable you to use the many tools provided for all such nooks and crannys.It's simple to use, it's mighty powerful, and so far we have thoroughly enjoyed how much cleaner our carpets have been. And for the price, this is a perfect buy for any family looking to replace an old vacuum.

The first thing I noticed was the weight of the hoover it was quite heavy!Took me a few minutes to fully assemble.Once turned on I found it very powerful and had excellent suction,it picked up 95% overall dirt in one sweep I am very impressed!Once I started hoovering I found that the weight did not bother me that much.The recline and swivel feature was brilliant and helped get to places quickly.Due to the long wire it has a very good reach and you could use one plug for a very wide area.I found the Wiper blade very difficult and fiddly to assemble at first my husband found it easier.It was easy to empty dirt, and depending on how much dirt there is can hold upto 3 uses.The attachments were easy enough to use and assemble and just as powerful as the main attachment.Overall it is a very impressive with this hoover makes easy work of a dirty floor.

Wow, have always used a dyson, but this product exceeded my expectations.Easy to manouvre, lots of additional tools, great attachment for pet hair, easy to dismantle for hand held element.Most impressive suction, gets down deep into the carpet fibres, lifts all dust / hair (you won't believe the amount of dust...)For the price, it is probably the best in the market on comparison. Highly recommend. Scored 4 on the weight as like all modern hoover's that have the removable hand held, can feel a little heavy on the push, but it is not as heavy as the Dyson.I love it, it's a really great hoover.

So just over a year ago I purchased this item to replace my aging vacuum, Initially very impressed with the suction and despite being a bit heavy it was quite good to use.After a while I started to notice problems.1, There are several points in the run from collection to bin where clogs can occur, so every couple of uses i have to clean the tubes of dog hair (yes it was the pet version that i bought to try and eliminate this issue)2, At the point where the tube meets the bin it goes through 2 90deg turns and then the opening into the bin is small so is forever getting clogged at this point. (make sure that you have something that goes round corners to poke out the blockages)3, When you empty the container because the top near the filter is so small you get a collection at this point and have to take it apart to clear.4, The extension tubes just push in and do not lock in place, so expect these to fall out a few times when trying to reach high places.5, The pet brush for the extension again just pushes on so makes it next to useless as everytime you try to push against something it will fall off (now sitting in a cupboard for over 6m)6, To top it all off after just over a year the motor for the brush head has decided to pack up, and the cost of replacement, well i was offered a 25% discount as it is just outside of warranty, comes at £59.99 as they dont sell just the motor (so £79.99 if your not lucky and this is almost 50% of the cost of the machine new) The rubber band connecting the motor still looks like new so at least i don't need one of those..7, The weight of the machine is quite something, even when you take it apart to do the stairs it is still quite a hefty item. (my wife makes me do the stairs every time and even when its her turn i have to lug the machine upstairs for her, yes she can do it but just hates it)So to summarise, if you want a vacuum that will work well for a bit, then fail after a year, you enjoy cleaning your cleaner and you like lifting weights then this is the machine for you (well for about a year anyway)

I love the quiet tone- the second setting is bit louder - suction very good so far! Emptying is great one button straight into bin. Have to clean/ wash filters monthly- godly but small price to pay for keeping hoover working properly. Love that can use it hand held also as small mini vacuum with hose for stairs & finally as full heavy duty upright- IT IS heavy - if very older or fragile or arthritis may be an issue ? but the roller ball helps helps manoeuvrability - when power on you don’t notice as much. All in all very happy with purchase - so far! Great for picking up pet hair!
