Hoover HE310HM Bagged Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner - H-ENERGY 300, Green

Product Information

This compact cylinder vacuum is light, quiet and easy to pull around, thanks to its four 360º rotating castor wheels. Battery life is around 40 minutes on the Low mode, but just 25 minutes when you use the cleaner on Medium. It drops a lot further on Turbo mode, although you shouldn’t need to use this mode too often. This vacuum performed well, provided good suction on all floor surfaces and the generous bag capacity meant it didn’t need changing too frequently.

The filter is only basic; it isn’t EPA or HEPA rated. If you any folk in your home who suffer allergies, a vacuum cleaner with better filtration may be required, such as the Dyson Small Ball Allergy. When it comes to buying gadgets and technology products, particularly in the Vacuums category it’s important to invest in good quality products. HOOVER H-ENERGY 300 Home HE310HM Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner is no exception. There are a number of reasons why quality is so important when it comes to these types of products. The brush bar and wand fit easily under low furniture and extend smoothly to reach up high to vacuum cobwebs and curtains. Quality isn’t based on suction power alone, but also the efficiency of the tools, which is where my real-world tests come in. First, I started be spreading an ‘X’ of flour onto a carpeted floor. Firstly, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to be more reliable. This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction. When you’re relying on a product for an important task, such as work or communication, reliability is key. Investing in a high-quality HOOVER H-ENERGY 300 Home HE310HM Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner can give you peace of mind and help you avoid frustrating situations where your device fails you.The true mark of any vacuum cleaner is its ability to clean well. I start my tests by measuring the power in AirWatts of each mode. I measured the cleaner at 29.13AW on Low power, 64.47AW on Medium power and 118.66AW on Turbo. The Medium and Turbo speeds are similar to the Dyson V11 Outsize’s results on Eco and Medium power settings, and then the Dyson has a Turbo mode that more than doubles the power. Hoover has also installed two LEDs to highlight the surface you’re vacuuming. The first one is on the main body and is activated only when the main wand isn’t attached, giving you light when you use handheld tools. An onboard dial allows you to adjust the suction power to one of four levels for upholstery, curtains, hard floors and carpets, although it feels a bit basic. A slider on the brush bar also allows you to change the suction level for rugs, hard floors and carpets. Plug in the wand and there are lights on the motorised floor brush, so you can see clearly where you’ve cleaned and where you need to clean.

Not everyone needs a top-of-line, do everything cordless vacuum cleaner. For some, a cheaper, less powerful model will likely fulfil most needs. Step forward the Hoover H-Free 300 (HF322PT), then: a well-priced cordless cleaner with a removable battery, pet tools and a great range of accessories.

At the rear, there’s a Power Control touch-sensitive button that you tap to run through the Power mode. With non-powered tools, there are three power modes: Low, Medium and Turbo; add a motorised brush and you just get Medium and Turbo modes. Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality HOOVER H-ENERGY 300 Home HE310HM Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. This vacuum performed well, provided good suction on all floor surfaces and the generous bag capacity meant it didn’t need changing too frequently. However, it felt a little basic so I gave it 16 out of 20.
