Hoover 300 3in1 Cordless Vacuum: agile, dual LED lights and brushless motor, H-FREE 300 HOME HF322HM

Product Information

I would also prefer the connection of the stick and other attachments to be less stiff when trying to get them off the unit after use. The Hoover H-Free 300 is a very solid stick model to consider if you really can’t be bothered to pull out the ‘proper’ machine from under the stairs, or wherever it is you keep yours. If you any folk in your home who suffer allergies, a vacuum cleaner with better filtration may be required, such as the Dyson Small Ball Allergy. Just so you know, whilst we may receive a commission or other compensation from the links on this page, we never allow this to influence product selections.

There’s a really useful brush attachment too, which features longer bristles that makes it more practical than some of the stubby tools we’ve used with other models. Hoover knows that operating a vacuum cleaner shouldn’t be rocket science and I was pleasantly surprised the main instructions for using each part to the vacuum were in a simple image-by-image guide - for someone who dreads reading pages of instructions, this was a refreshing and more than adequate change! It wasn’t clear in the instructions how to recline the wand without pushing your foot lightly on the vacuum head, though, so this tended to be our go-to method.The H-Free 300 is one of several Hoover H-Free stick vacuum models ranging from the 100 through to the 800 and the 300 is designed to slot into the middle ground, which it does nicely. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. This kind of design is less tiring to use than models that require you to keep the trigger depressed throughout cleaning.

I love being able to do all the rooms without worrying about the different carpets or hard floor types. We tended to run the vacuum at full tilt most of the time as this is how it functioned best for our cleaning needs. The Single Cyclone separation system and the additional level of filtration by the pre-motor filter separate and trap even the finest particles of dust inside the bin. Meanwhile, the rollers on the cleaning head aren't particularly substantial but they served us well enough during testing.Quality isn’t based on suction power alone, but also the efficiency of the tools, which is where my real-world tests come in. The battery life is not brilliant if we switch on the carpet brush and some of the mouldings look a bit fragile but overall we are happy with the Hoover.

With a full capacity battery, it will mean less time spent recharging and more time spent cleaning your floors. A solid mid-range vacuum cleaner, the light Hoover H-Free 300 is a good grab-and-go cleaner for smaller jobs, although you’ll want a standard plug-in cleaner for deep cleans in your home.

Because of the weight concentration, the C300+ doesn’t convert to a handheld like many cordless vacuums do, but, to make up for this, the stretch hose that attaches to the head is long enough at a mere 3. The Hoover H-Free 300 has won us over for its general appeal though, with a great little design that makes it super convenient.
