It seems like decent value as a stylish cleaning accessory, although there are cheaper, more rough and ready handheld vacuums to be found. We found it to be far more agile than the Dyson V7 Trigger, for example, which is bulkier and struggles in tight spots. But the trade-off is that the Hoover holds around 75% less dirt than the Dyson, so you need to empty it much more frequently. Unfortunately, this is an unnecessarily messy task (more on that later). Hoover says the H-Handy will go for 12 minutes from full charge, which may not sound like a lot, but it's actually more than you'll get from comparable models from Shark.
The battery may require a reset and thiscan be done easilyby removingthe batteryfrom the handle of the product and then simply re fitting it. The red light will turn blue when the battery is fully charged. For most people, this is sufficient for trapping dirt particles – particularly during small cleaning jobs. But if you have severe dust allergies, a HEPA filter is more effective than an EPA filter. For example, the Shark WV200UK uses a HEPA filter and has a similar design to the H-Handy. There’s just a 0.15-litre bin in this vacuum cleaner, which is absolutely tiny by regular vacuum cleaner standards. However, given that this vacuum is specifically for spot cleaning, this should be fine. 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.YOU'RE spoilt for choice when shopping for a handheld vacuum cleaner these days, with the latest model we've got our hands on being the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express.
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. There’s a 3-in-1 tool attachment included with the H-Handy 700 Express. You can use it as a crevice tool, which has a sliding collar to convert into a dusting brush. Or, you can turn it around for an upholstery tool with a felt-like micro brush. Accessing the Hoover’s filter is straightforward, as you just need to press a button on the top of the vacuum. The filters are washable and should be cleaned on a monthly basis. Hoover also provides a brush for getting rid of dirt on the filters, which is a useful extra. Emptying and Cleaning 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.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. We found that the design of the 3-in-1 tool was less convenient than the Shark WV200UK though. Instead of a flip-down brush, you need to push the brush along the crevice tool to use it. Whenever we tried to do this with the tool attached, we also pulled off the entire tool, as there was nothing clipping it into place. There also aren’t multiple power settings. A lower suction option would have been useful for extending battery life, but this isn’t an option. Car interiors are often the reason people buy a handheld vacuum cleaner. Sadly, we don’t recommend the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express for car cleaning.
In short, both of these Hoovers are the same cleaner but with different accessories. 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. Competition is growing in this area, however. If you have a Vax ONEPWR vacuum cleaner, then the Vax ONEPWR Cordless Hand Vac comes barebones (no battery), and offers up to 25 minutes of runtime; it also has a bigger bin. It’s half the price of the H-Handy 700, making it a bargain for ONEPWR owners. Weighing just 0.66kg, but with a tiny 0.15 litre capacity to match, everything about the Hoover is small and nimble. However, during our testing, we preferred the Shark WV200UK in almost every respect. We think it provides better all-round cleaning performance and suction power. We also preferred its bin emptying mechanism, although it’s not perfect in this regard either.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. Good product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this ideally for the car but found myself and all the family using it in the home too, great for any small area! Comes with a handy tool attachment to get in them hard to reach places. I measured noise from the vacuum cleaner at 84.5dB, which is a little loud – although you’ll only be using this model for short periods of time, making it bearable. Should you buy the Hoover H-Handy 700?
