With easy-to-navigate controls and instructions, the HOOVER HL5 Upright Vacuum Cleaner is a breeze to use. It's a corded and bagless model that offers high-performance suction and can be used on a range of floor types. Most reviewers found that it was more powerful than the cordless hoovers they have used. It can do the job whether you are looking to deep clean your carpets or keep the hardwood floors dust-free. Reviewers are excited about this feature as many of them feel it can reach corners that are compact and often hard to reach. 

It also comes with a versatile wand that can be detached to clean smaller or higher surfaces. With just a push and a lift, you can use the quick-release pedal to make the vacuum more portable to tackle stairs and other above-floor cleaning as well. It's also easy to maintain as the Hoover as it comes with an anti-twist comb to prevent hair from knotting around the brush, making it the perfect choice if long hair from pets or yourself has been a constant source of worry in your cleaning process. However, some people found the hoover a bit heavy, so unless you are specifically on the hunt for a lighter device, this hoover will keep home spotless.

It has a large DuoClean floor head that comes with two brush rolls that ensures deep cleaning of your carpets by pulling up tangled hair and when coupled with the Anti Hair Wrap Technology, you also do not have to worry about untangling knotted hair from the brushes.

If you've got dogs or cats at home that leave fluff and hair wherever they've been, you need the Vax Air Stretch Pet Max Vacuum Cleaner as it has an additional TurboTool that will remove stubborn hair from your carpets and upholstery with ease. It offers a good performance with a powerful pick up so you can use it on both carpets and hard floors. With a stretch hose and long card, it has an extensive reach of 17 metres, making light work of cleaning up high and down low all around your home.

Several reviewers share their happiness about the lightweight device and how it is to clean and maintain it. The feature to adjust the airflow is also useful. However several people feel that an anti-hair wrap feature would make this product exceptional as longer hair tends to get stuck in the rollers which can be cut off so as to not affect the functioning, but a built-in feature would increase the efficiency.

Looking for a vacuum that won't strain your arms and isn't heavy to move around? The BISSELL Featherweight only weighs 2kg so it's super lightweight.

Reviewers are happy with the fact that the device is not too noisy and with its easy to remove filters that are also washable. The transparent section lets you see when it's full making it convenient to clean and maintain. Some customers felt that the efficiency was compromised on carpeted floors, so that might be something you want to take into consideration if you have lots of carpets or rugs at home.

Dyson is one of the UK's most popular vacuum cleaner brands and The Dyson Ball Animal Origin Upright Corded Vacuum Cleaner is a brilliant option if you’ve got pets and long hair stuck on floors is a big concern while cleaning. It rides on a Dyson Ball which is ergonomically designed for more comfortable vacuuming and the telescopic handle rotates in three directions for 360-degree cleaning.

Lorna White, a Senior Digital Writer at Yours has been using this hoover and loves the versatility of this machine after testing it. This vacuum cleaner is a powerful all-rounder with Dyson's latest de-tangling technology making it useful to suck up long hair and pet fluff wherever it gets. The various attachments are essential for cleaning hard to reach places and the dust bin is very large meaning you don't have to clean it out too often. The only concern she had was the weight of the hoover and if you struggle to lift heavy things or have stairs, it might be a bit too large and clunky for you.

Several users were also happy about the DuoClean technology that comes with two brush rolls that does a good job of deep cleaning carpets while also gliding across hard floors.

The anti-odour cartridge fitted in seals all the smells inside the vacuum and it works with the Anti-Allergen Complete Seal that traps 99.9% of dust and allergens to keep the air you breath clean and fresh. However, if you are on the lookout for a lighter device, then some customers shared that they felt it was a bit on the heavier side and experienced some difficulty in trying to manoeuvre it.
