Product Information

Suction power is adjustable, its easy to maneuver, long hose lets u reach the far areas and so much more. It’s decent enough on carpets, but struggles on hard floors and loses suction power as the canister fills up. But I liked the way it was described and the features particularly the 10m cable which stops you having to switch plugs when doing the job. Performance System 4 TOP eco+ ensures great performance on all surfaces, even on carpets, with an energy saving: up to 50%* Moreover, thanks to its efficient filtering system, it releases purified air. There isn’t a collar to push the dirt out as you get on some Dyson models, however, so you may have to get your hands in to pull out clumps.

Finally, you can install the wiper blade at the rear to increase suction to the floor, although this does make the cleaner much harder to push around, particularly on carpet. For homes with a range of floor types, the Hoover H-Upright 500 Sensor Plus vacuum makes for a powerful solution.

It’s a worthwhile tool if you have pets, but you can still expect to untangle hair from the bristles to keep it in good nick. The compact design of the Hoover H-UPRIGHT 500 PLUS ensures easy storage, saving you valuable space in your home. If you have pets, then Hoover has a Pet version of this cleaner (model number HU500SBH 001) that adds a mini motorised brush into the mix for cleaning pet beds and sofas. There’s also a 2-in-1 dusting brush/crevice tool combo, which is effectively a crevice tool with some brushes on the end.

The swivel floor nozzle is meant to make it easier to move around furniture, but it actually makes the weight harder to balance. The model also comes with floor sensor technology to suit all floors types and multi-cyclonic technology, which separates the dust from the air within the machine for less filter maintenance. We test both modes in a variety of other cleaning scenarios, such as on stairs or in a car, and consider how easy it is to use. You can press the brush bar on/off button at the top of the unit when the Floor Sensor function is OFF.As good as reach is, the H-Upright 500 Plus doesn’t make it easy to switch from one mode to another. It will slow the brushes down for hard floors to minimise the risk of damaging them or scattering debris, then the speed picks up on carpets for deeper cleaning. It’s ultra-manoeuvrable, features an on/off brush bar, H13 HEPA filter and Intellicare technology to help protect your carpets. While the side suction on the head ensured it picked up dirt alongside the corner of the room right up to the skirting boards, it did struggle with larger pieces of debris such as cardboard and paper, however.

However, I still found it to be a bit vigorous, with some of the scattering of rice grains being pushed around on the floor. There’s a reason that upright vacuum cleaners remain so popular: they’re easy and convenient to use, and quick to get going. Lowering the suction makes it easier to push the vac around, but reduces the cleaning power (and the vacuum still requires some effort to push on thick carpets. You have a range of floor types in your home: Be it hard floor, short pile or long pile carpets, the Hoover H-Upright 500 Sensor Plus’ main selling point is its automatic sensor technology, which detects which floor type it is vacuuming and adjusts it accordingly. Overall, the Hoover H-UPRIGHT 500 is a reliable and efficient vacuum cleaner that delivers powerful suction and convenient features for effective cleaning.As I was cleaning, it became apparent that the H-Upright 500 Plus’ suction power pulls loose dust in from the front before the head has gone over it.
