It’s a simple trick but one that ends the constant hunt for places to lean your vacuum while you’re cleaning. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. For a completely dirt free empty you need a cordless vacuum that uses bags, such as the Henry Quick. Packed full of features and easy to manoeuvre, the HF9 is worthy of a high score from the YourHomeStyle team. If necessary, the HF9 can temporarily stand in a vertical position on hard floors if you need to pause cleaning for a moment.

It's a useful mode to have and one that I enjoy using in especially hair-prone areas, but make sure not to have it turned to 'Boost' all of the time if you're conscious of using up the battery.At first I thought the lights were just a nice extra, but in action, they were brilliant at spotlighting patches of dirt and hair I’d missed on both my carpet and hardwood flooring. The vacuum itself moves nicely and isn't so powerful that it starts to pull at the carpet or on my rug, which is a plus. This score shows how well each cordless vacuum cleaner sucks up large debris, like rice and lentils, from flat hard surfaces. At first look, I thought that this vacuum looked very similar to the Shark Stratos IZ420UKT cordless vacuum, which was also released in 2022. We test vacuum cleaners by spilling measured quantities of both flour and Cheerios onto hard floor and short-pile carpet.

The end result wasn’t perfect but 65% of the Cheerios were captured on a single pass, while the rest were caught in front and pushed ahead like a snow plough. The Turbo Boost function delivers 12 minutes of extra-powerful suction, which is ideal for tackling even the most demanding of messy floors.Whenever you do need to access the brush, it's easy to do as the top window pops open for instant access, taking the hassle out of maintenance. The problem with some cordless vacuums is the fact that their suction power leaves a lot to be desired. To bring the name we all know and love into the newest vacuum sphere (the world of cordlessness) Hoover has engineered the HF9 - their new Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with ANTI-TWIST™.
