Hoover Breeze Evo TH31PFB001 Pets Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

You can also raise or lower the brush roll depending on the floor type. The lowest setting is great for deep cleaning carpets, while raising the brush off the floor makes it suitable for delicate surfaces. It’s a simple process to change the height by twisting the rotary dial on the floorhead. The Hoover Breeze Evo is intuitive to use for floor cleaning. There are two foot pedals, one to recline the vacuum and another to switch it on, making it convenient to use. We also like that the Breeze has a rotary dial to adjust the height of the brush bar, allowing you to clean different surfaces with relative ease. Like most upright vacuum cleaners, the floorhead has a rotating brush bar to agitate carpet fibres and loosen the pile for a deeper clean. When you fill the 3 litre capacity, emptying the bagless dirt canister is a straightforward process.

As you would expect from a budget vacuum, however, the Breeze Evo feels flimsy compared to pricier vacs. You’ll also need to spend longer cleaning than you would with a vacuum with better suction. The fixed steering position of the floorhead will appeal to those who dislike balancing a swivel system. But it does make it harder to navigate the Breeze Evo around a furnished home. Especially as it’s quite a short and bulky floorhead, so it’s not ideal for getting under furniture or into tight spaces. Other Tools and Accessories The Hoover Breeze Evo uses standard washable filters. They’re effective enough at retaining dust and dirt, but they tend to clog fairly easily and need regular maintenance to maintain suction. The 4.5 metre hose is long enough to manage a whole flight of stairs with the Hoover Breeze Evo parked at the bottom. Just be wary of stretching the hose too far, or else it can topple the vacuum over.It’s a basic system, as you would expect from a budget vacuum, and it works well on loose dirt and dust. But there’s no collar system to push out clumps of hair or other debris, so you’ll sometimes need to pull these out by hand. Also, while the longer hose gives more reach, the suction power is reduced compared with the short hose or floorhead. Carpets Firstly, the belt on the floorhead is prone to snapping or falling off, so it requires some upkeep. As do the filters, which need regular cleaning to prevent clogs. It leaves floors clean, but expect to do a few more sweeps than you would with a more expensive vacuum. You’ll also need to play around with the brush bar height, as cleaning performance drops if the brushes are too high. The rotating brush bar, with its variable height settings, is a good feature that makes this vacuum more versatile. It comes with a few helpful accessories, too.

The tools are useful for above-floor cleaning. However, there isn’t a mini turbo tool included – you’ll need to buy the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets vacuum if you want one. Hoover Breeze Evo Suction Power and Cleaning Performance The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets has an extra mini motorised pet hair attachment, along with all the other accessories. This tool adds more versatility, as it allows deep cleaning on more surfaces.But the hose and tool setup is a flawed design that we can’t overlook. While it’s useful to have two different hoses, it’s frustrating to unclip them, swap them over, and then add your tool each time you want to use it. As you’d expect for a vacuum in this price range, it doesn’t use HEPA filters. These are the gold standard for filters as they catch 99.97% of microparticles, like pollen and bacteria. The Hoover Breeze Evo has a basic design that’ll be familiar to anyone who’s used an upright vacuum before. Floor cleaning is simple enough, but changing accessories can be a fiddly experience that’s more hassle than it should be.
