Hoover WRE01001, Whirlwind Evo Bagless Upright Vacuum, Grey & Red, 500 W, 80 Decibeles

Product Information

With only two tools supplied with the vacuum, this is possibly the most frugally equipped cleaner we’ve ever tested. Although considering many people end up using only one or two most of the time anyway, maybe it isn’t such a silly idea. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it. The funky red bin has a respectable 1.5-litre capacity and lifts cleanly out of the main body for emptying. Well, eventually.

The dust container will need to be emptied regularly to keep your whirlwind cleaner working effectively. There is also a filter inside the container that should be cleaned regularly. Start by removing the dust container from the cleaner. Press the release button as shown and lift it off. Included is a 2-in-1 dusting brush and crevice tool for effective cleaning of a wide range of surfaces, nooks and crannies. The tool can be stored on board when not in use. Take the container to your dustbin or a bin bag and press the release trigger to open the flap, shake the container to release all of the dirt. The Whirlwind SE71 moves around on two large wheels with floor-protecting rubber tyres, and a central trolley wheel that sits underneath the base of the vacuum. The way the main wheels are mounted to the body gives them a lot of free play, so expect a little wheel wobble if you tend to clean the house at high speed. To keep your cleaner working efficiently with good suction powerand also to stop it overheating and cutting out we advise you to keep the filters clean. Your product has 2 filters, the first is the hepa filter that you will find inside the dust container. Lift the clip as shown at the top of the dust container and lift it up.Lastly, if you've tried all of the above and you're still experiencing a loss of suction, it's probably due to the motor. Now you can replace the motor, it's not the easiest of jobs but it's certainly doable and you may find that you don't need to replace the whole motor, just the carbon brushes in the motor. The second filter is found in the lid of the duct container. First remove the container from the product by lifting the release catch on top as shown here. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Hoover is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Vacuum cleaners category. To keep the cleaner working efficiently and effectively the filters will need to be cleaned regularly. There are 2 filters on the cleaner the first of which is inside the dust box. Start by removing the dust container from the product by pressing the release button on the top of the container, place over your dust bin or bin bag and press the catch on the bottom of the container that will open the flap and allow the dust to escape. Give the container a shake to help release all of the dust and dirt.

To remove the filter you will need to twist the lid off the dust box and lift it off. Twist the filter to remove it from the lid and separate from the mesh screen. Dust everything out but for best results wash in warm water and let dry thoroughly. Both these filters can be dusted clean or washed in warm water, if you do wash them please make sure that they are dried thoroughly before re fitting them. Clean the blue fibre filter and the spongy bit.To keep your cleaner working efficiently with full suction power and to prevent it overheating and cutting out we recommend that the filters are regularly cleaned. There are 2 filtersin your product: the hepa filter is found inside the dust box. Release the catch on the carry handle and lift the box out.

Until you begin to clean, that is. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. The clever removable handle inserts into the floor nozzle for storage. With the overall height reduced to under 70cm, your vacuum fits into a cupboard, without taking up too much space. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Keep the cyclonic unit clean

If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. To open the box so that it can be emptied and to also clean the hepa filter twist the lid until the 2 arrows line up, then the lid will come off. Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Vacuum cleaners category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Hoover WRE06 Whirlwind Evo Upright Vacuum Cleaner vs other products in the Vacuum cleaners category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives. To keep your cleaner working effectively and giving the best possible suction we recommend that the duct container is emptied when it is 2/3 full and the filters are kept clean. To empty the dust box start by removing it from the cleaner by pressing the release trigger on top of the handle.

The cyclonic unit can be lifted out of the container as shown and cleaned by immersing in warm water along with the container. Make sure everything is dry before re assembling. At first it seemed impossible to detach the bin, despite the clip releasing as it’s meant to. It later transpired that the inserted section of the hose protrudes so far into the bin that you actually have to unclip and remove the hose to get the bin out of the cleaner. No mention is made of this in the instruction manual, and quite frankly, it’s one extra stage in emptying the bin that we could do without.Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product.
