Product Information

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. In terms of charging, Hoover say it'll take the H-Handy three hours to charge from flat to full. Hoover H-Handy 700: The verdict It seems like decent value as a stylish cleaning accessory, although there are cheaper, more rough and ready handheld vacuums to be found. 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. Direct Impulse Motor– This brushless motor delivers outstanding suction with great efficiency and a long lifespan.

We also found that it struggled to clean carpets, pet hair, and other tougher jobs. And we really hope that Hoover re-thinks the messy emptying system for their next handheld vacuum! The Hoover is stored with the handle facing up, so it’s easy to grab in a cleaning emergency, and turning it on also activates the LED headlight. It doesn’t use a trigger switch like Dyson cordless vacuums, so you don’t need to hold it down to maintain power. Manoeuvrability and Ease of Use Weighing just 0.66kg, but with a tiny 0.15 litre capacity to match, everything about the Hoover is small and nimble. 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.We don't have a fancy tool to measure the exact power the Hoover delivered in testing, but it seemed like enough for small jobs around the house. 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.

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? 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).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. Thinking of buying the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express? Read our in-depth review to find out whether this handheld vacuum is worth buying. Even so, the attachments available can reach right into the many corners and edges on a staircase. And the battery should give enough run time to manage a whole flight, depending on how thorough you are. Pet Hair The compact nature of this vacuum also means the nozzle is quite small. While it’s great for tight spaces, it can be time-consuming to clean larger spills. Other Tools and Accessories (Including 3in1 Tool) 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.

Yes, this Hoover has a battery that’s easy to remove from the handle of the vacuum. Replacement batteries are available, which gives peace of mind if the battery fails in the future. Hoover H-Handy 700 Express Review Verdict Handheld vacuum cleaners can be rather basic, forgoing accessories for simplicity. The H-Handy 700 avoids this, instead including a single crevice tool attachment, which has a two-way brush that slides up and provides you with either a brush or an upholstery tool. Washable EPA with protective mesh– Prevents nasty particles escaping in your home and is easy to clean. 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.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. Front LED cleaning light– Allows greater visibility so you never miss even the tiniest of crumbs, ideal for use in shadows under furniture. 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. We also found that the rigid design is a problem inside a car. Unlike a vacuum with a flexible hose, the Hoover can’t bend to get into awkward tight spots. At around 42cm in length, it’s harder to manipulate in small spaces. 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.
