Hoover 700 handheld vacuum, ultra lightweight, powerful, ergonomic, car, 3in1 tool, dock,  H-HANDY 700 EXPRESS HH710M

Product Information

Even if you don’t have pets, anything made from fabric will benefit from this deeper clean. So, having this attachment included adds to the overall versatility of a handheld vac. We liked that it out-performed Shark's rival cleaner, the WV200UK for battery life, although we found their cleaning capabilities to be pretty similar. The ultra lightweight nature of the H-Handy makes it a good option for cleaning stairs. However, the small nozzle is time-consuming, so we’d suggest using the dusting brush attachment. It would have been nice to see a motorised attachment included, particularly for carpeted stairs. It seems like decent value as a stylish cleaning accessory, although there are cheaper, more rough and ready handheld vacuums to be found. We thought the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express looks and feels like a premium vacuum from the moment you unbox it. It has a streamlined design, similar to the Shark WV200UK, and feels solid. Plus it has a stylish metallic front panel for added chic.

When the bin is full, you remove the entire thing, pop out the washable filter and tip out the dirt. You can rinse away the mess in the bin, too: just make sure that you leave everything to dry before using the vacuum cleaner again. It comes with a two-in-one attachment that has an extendable dust brush as well as a regular suction nozzle which is easy to switch around mid-clean. At just under 42cm, the H-Handy is a good length for reaching both floors and higher areas. You can access tight spots, like under the sofa and baby car seats, with ease. We also thought the LED light was a nice tough for illuminating dark corners. For instance: the comparatively priced Shark WV200UK goes for just eight minutes on a full charge, although in our testing, we ran the Hoover from fully charged to flat and it took 10 minutes and eight seconds before it gave out.Spoločnosť Hoover ponúka široký sortiment príslušenstva a náhradných dielov pre váš spotrebič.

The Pet model includes an extra motorised nozzle with a velvet-like agitator for pulling up pet hair. This disturbs the fibres of fabrics, cleaning them deeper than a non-motorised nozzle. It’s easy to grab from the cradle, due to the grip-friendly rubber handle. The wand shape of the vac is intuitive and simple to move around thanks to its minimal weight. Hoover has also incorporated magnets into the motor design to reduce vibrations, although we found it hard to say how much difference this really makes.

The short run time is also apparent when cleaning a car interior. You’ll need to act fast to get a whole car cleaned before the battery runs out. And, unless your car is already very clean, it will involve several empties of the dust canister. If I have one minor complaint it’s that you don’t get a wider tool with this model, so larger areas can take a little longer to clean. The dusting brush is a good size for cleaning blinds, for example, while being gentle enough for a computer keyboard. The crevice tool is also useful for cleaning under furniture or in tight locations, while the regular nozzle is fine for floors. Thinking of buying the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express?

Hoover H-Handy 700: Out the box

A downside to the Hoover’s design is the fiddly 3-in-1 attachment. You have to adapt the setup each time to change to the accessory you want, which is less convenient than having separate tools. This is a small issue though – and makes storing the attachment easier.
