Product Information

It struggles on most hard surfaces and is close to useless at getting dust out of gaps between floorboards. the hoover has a ball effect that allows the head to get into the corners, but the handle and cylinder tend to lean to the right and is heavy to maintain a straight line. I also like the fact that Hoover are offering free replacement parts for 10 years (subject to their engineer fitting). The electric cord has to be unwound one loop at a time, the upper hook does not twist to allow the wire to fall off in one pull. The rotating bristles pick up a lot of dust and dirt from the fibres, plus the strong suction is capable of pulling out pet hair.

Performance System 4 TOP eco+ ensures great performance on all surfaces, even on carpets, with an energy saving: up to 50%* Moreover, thanks to its efficient filtering system, it releases purified air. It is far too heavy for me to use The cable length is ideal as is the hose length, but the small brush is really flimsy. The lightweight construction of this vacuum cleaner ensures effortless handling, reducing strain on your arms and back. Still, we think it’s probably a vacuum cleaner to avoid if you’ve got lots of hard floors in your home. As a plug-in model, cleaning reach is important, and the H-Upright 500 Plus provides up to 15 metres, thanks to the long power cable, hose and the extendable crevice tool (this is 36cm long and has a further extension tube to take it to 76cm).There is a lever on device which allows you to graduate the suction which the manufacturer says may be needed when doing carpets. If you’re on a tight budget, then the extra hassle of having to clip in the hose may just be worth it.

We found out the hard way that you must switch off the auto sensor and brush bar buttons when vacuuming delicate surfaces - when we attempted to vacuum over a Persian carpet with the auto sensor button and brush bar on the machine went into overdrive and tried to chew up the tassles. The H-Upright 500 Plus comes with two washable HEPA filters (one in the top of the bin and one at the front of the cleaner), which is great news for allergy sufferers. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Performance equal to 1600W, based on internal tests of dust pick up according to EN Standard EN 60312, when compared with model UTP1611 001. There’s a reason upright vacuum cleaners are such a popular choice – this classic style does it all, with a lightweight, easy-to-manoeuvre design and exceptional cleaning power.

If you’ve collected a fair bit of fluff and hair then you may need to open the top flap, pull out the cone and give it all a good shake. The HEPA filtration system traps allergens and microscopic particles, ensuring cleaner and healthier air in your home. A 2-in-1 crevice and soft dusting brush is also fitted on the body of the machine, which can easily be detached and added to the hose for use on corners and narrow spaces such as bookshelves, as well as on hard surfaces to avoid scratching them. The HEPA filter is also a bonus for all things animal-based, as it traps allergens rather than releasing them back into the air. H-UPRIGHT 500 REACH is ultra manouevrable in use with a swivelling, low profile floor nozzle to glide around your home easily.
