Hoover Upright Vacuum Cleaner - Breeze Evo

Product Information

There also isn’t a motorised attachment, which would be handy for carpeted stairs. You have to upgrade to the Pet model of the Breeze Evo to get one of these. But the basic range of tools still helps with cleaning right into the corners. Pet Hair The Hoover Breeze Evo uses standard washable filters. They’re effective enough at retaining dust and dirt, but they tend to clog fairly easily and need regular maintenance to maintain suction. As you would expect from a budget vacuum, however, the Breeze Evo feels flimsy compared to pricier vacs. You’ll also need to spend longer cleaning than you would with a vacuum with better suction. As you’d expect for a vacuum in this price range, it doesn’t use HEPA filters. These are the gold standard for filters as they catch 99.97% of microparticles, like pollen and bacteria.

The mini motorised tool is one of the stand out features of this vacuum. Even if you don’t have pets, the compact size and rotating bristles are ideal for thorough cleaning all around the home. It’s a good width for using on stairs, and handy for areas like furniture and pet beds. Can this budget cleaner really handle daily dirt and pet hair though? And is it worth forking out for the upgraded “Pet” version in comparison to the regular Breeze Evo? Read our in-depth Hoover Breeze Evo Pets review to find out. Overview of the Hoover Breeze Evo Pet’s Features The rotating brush bar, with its variable height settings, is a good feature that makes this vacuum more versatile. It comes with a few helpful accessories, too. The Hoover Breeze Evo has a basic design that’ll be familiar to anyone who’s used an upright vacuum before. Floor cleaning is simple enough, but changing accessories can be a fiddly experience that’s more hassle than it should be.The Hoover Breeze Evo is a low-cost vacuum cleaner that we think is an option to consider if you’re on a tight budget. It’s easy for users of all ages to manoeuvre, and the performance is more than sufficient for the price. This is a pretty standard range of non-motorised accessories, although it is nice to see a longer crevice tool than you find on a lot of modern vacs.

Breeze Evo is a long reach vacuum, with 7 metre power cable, plus extra long stretch hose and extension tube for above floor cleaning - in total up to 12.5m maximum reach. This bagless upright vacuum weighs under 5kg in use, allowing you to move it around your home without straining. With the washable EPA filter, this vacuum will capture small dust particles and keep pollutants out of the air in your home. The “MAX” line shows you when it’s full, although it’s easy to see this anyway as the canister is made from clear plastic. It’s worth noting that dust and dirt doesn’t always settle to the bottom, so you might not get the full 3 litres of capacity. Stairs are a strong point for the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets, as the stretch hose is long enough to cover a whole flight in one go. Just make sure it’s at the bottom of the stairs, as the hose can topple the vacuum over if stretched too far.They’re also not as effective as HEPA filters, although they are as efficient as can be expected for a vacuum in this price range. It’s certainly not the best vacuum for allergy sufferers though. Emptying and Cleaning litre Capacity - Which can also be emptied easily and hygienically, without exposing your hands to the dirt. It’s a basic system, as you would expect from a budget vacuum, and it works well on loose dirt and dust. But there’s no collar system to push out clumps of hair or other debris, so you’ll sometimes need to pull these out by hand. In our opinion, the main downfall to this Hoover is edge cleaning. The bulky floorhead isn’t quite capable of getting larger debris from the edges of skirting boards and furniture. It leaves a wall of mess, which then means you have to go through the hassle of swapping hoses and attachments over to clean the last bits.

Firstly, the belt on the floorhead is prone to snapping or falling off, so it requires some upkeep. As do the filters, which need regular cleaning to prevent clogs. The Hoover Breeze Evo is intuitive to use for floor cleaning. There are two foot pedals, one to recline the vacuum and another to switch it on, making it convenient to use. We also like that the Breeze has a rotary dial to adjust the height of the brush bar, allowing you to clean different surfaces with relative ease.The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is great for cleaning pet hair on the floor, as well as other surfaces. So, despite its limitations in other areas, it could be a good choice for pet owners who need a vacuum on a tight budget. There’s a wide range of tools included with this Hoover. Along with the pet tool, there’s also Hoover’s longest crevice tool, a 2-in-1 dusting brush and furniture nozzle, and an extension tube. When in use, however, the Hoover feels light and easy to move around on different floor types. We also like the cord clip to keep the cable out of the way and prevent you from running over it. But the hose and tool setup is a flawed design that we can’t overlook. While it’s useful to have two different hoses, it’s frustrating to unclip them, swap them over, and then add your tool each time you want to use it.

The Hoover Breeze Evo is an affordable upright vacuum cleaner. It has a three-litre bagless dirt capacity, five brush bar settings for multi-surface cleaning, and a low-power motor to reduce energy costs. There’s also a generous 3 litre dirt capacity that comes in handy for longer cleaning sessions. The Shark AZ910UKT, which is another pet model, only has a 0.99 litre tank. And the more expensive Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach is still smaller at 1.5 litres. You can also raise or lower the brush roll depending on the floor type. The lowest setting is great for deep cleaning carpets, while raising the brush off the floor makes it suitable for delicate surfaces. It’s a simple process to change the height by twisting the rotary dial on the floorhead.Includes non-motorised accessories with onboard storage (including a dusting brush and upholstery tool) We think the Hoover Breeze is a decent upright vacuum for the price, but only if you can overlook some significant flaws. When it’s full, there’s one button to remove the canister from the vacuum, so you can hold it inside a bag to minimise how much dust escapes. Then there’s another button to open the flap and empty it. The hose and all accessories can be stored neatly on board the vacuum cleaner, for convenience and easy storage. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets has an extra mini motorised pet hair attachment, along with all the other accessories. This tool adds more versatility, as it allows deep cleaning on more surfaces.
