Cons: The battery life on this Hoover vacuum is disappointing and only offers 35 minutes of cleaning time - although some user reviews claim it’s even less. Reviews also discuss ‘poor battery life’ with one user, in particular, adding “from fully charged, we got a maximum of 12 minutes cleaning”.

Battery seems to hold up well,I've vacuumed the bungalow twice and it's still showing a full charge. It is very easy to switch the machine off "continuous mode" because the handle is not big enough to hold the machine safely without touching the switch.

This Hoover has eight different cleaning tools and a wall mount to keep it tidy when you’re not using it. And finally, with a 55% wider filter on the outflow**, H-FREE 800 retains more dust to ensure better air quality and reduced maintenance.

The advanced power of the ultra-light lithium battery achieves up to 35 minutes of autonomy with the motorised turbo brush. The Hoover H-Free 800 is a smart vacuum that you can connect to your Wi-Fi and access performance stats as well as battery statuses via the accompanying app. Dust, debris and hair is pushed to the bottom, making it easier to empty the bin when the time comes. They say that it broke after two months, the bracket isn't strong enough, and the anti-wrap brush has broken. Some mention it is very good, durable and maintainable, and good enough for most chores; while others say it did not function properly, the motor ceased working completely, and it is useless.

It scored top marks on almost all the GHI’s pick-up tests – collecting up all pet hair in one quick sweep when used as both the stick and a handheld, so it’s a great option for dog or cat owners. All in all, anything that helps us save space in our cupboards is a winner with us – and especially if it has a near-perfect score.The number of attachments you get with it is impressive and we particularly like the up-to-top tool for reaching those awkward cleaning spots. Make sure your whole home looks pristine with the Hoover H-Free 800 HF822OF Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. If you have a large home and big areas to clean, you might want to consider an alternative such as the Dyson V11 Outsize so that you can enjoy a longer battery run time. It separates larger particles from finer dust and creates a powerful airflow to make sure you don't miss anything. They mention that the charge lasts virtually no time at all, and the battery runs out in less than 10 minutes.

The bottom line: The Hoover H-Free 800 is a cordless vacuum that connects to your Wi-Fi so that you can use the accompanying app to get updates on the vacuum’s performance and battery life. The Hoover uses H-Spin-Core technology - a system that separates smaller dust particles from larger ones which in turn improves the performance of the vacuum and means the filter doesn’t require as much maintenance. A selection of easy-fit tools are included, all of which can be used either on the handheld, or on the end of the long reach pole. Another review noted that “suction is great but only when you’re using turbo - which runs the battery down quickly”. However the LED lights on the floor nozzle of which there are only three are pretty useless, most have five and are just like headlights.Upon initial inspection I was very impressed with the quality of the product, packaging was good everything clearly labelled. You have to turn the "carpet sweeper" over to see if the carpet roller is working - there is no change in the tone of the engine (or indicator light) to indicate whether you are in carpet or hard floor mode.
