Hoover Breeze Evo TH31PFB001 Pets Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

When it’s time to use the tools, changing the hoses and tools over is a fiddly job. You need to disconnect and reconnect hoses and attachments each time. This is our main gripe with the cleaning performance of the Breeze Evo, especially as the main floorhead doesn’t manage edges too well, so you’ll need to use tools frequently. 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.

The tool and hose setup also poses problems for everyday use. They’re bulky to store on the vacuum, often fall off, and it’s a fiddly process to change them around when needed. Includes non-motorised accessories with onboard storage (including a dusting brush and upholstery tool) We think the Hoover Breeze is a decent upright vacuum for the price, but only if you can overlook some significant flaws.Additionally, the onboard storage feels more hassle than it’s worth. The accessories fall off easily, especially the extension pipe. The long hose is also a nightmare, as it flaps around or slips off altogether. You might want to store it elsewhere and grab it when required. Filtration The different height settings do come in useful for carpets. Increasing the height reduces the brush bar depth, but also makes the vacuum easier to push around, so it takes some time to find the right setup. 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.

At 6.4kg, the Hoover Breeze Evo also isn’t the lightest upright vacuum. For example, the Shark NV702UK is a lighter 5.2kg, and the Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach is a bit less at 6.1kg. 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 Hoover Breeze Evo is a low-cost vacuum cleaner that we think is an option to consider if you’re on a tight budget. It’s easy for users of all ages to manoeuvre, and the performance is more than sufficient for the price. Overall, we think the Hoover Breeze Evo provides value for money if you want a basic vacuum. But if you can stretch the budget a tiny bit further, opt for the Pet model to get the turbo tool. Even if you don’t have pets, it’s still a very useful gadget to have in your cleaning arsenal. Comparison With Other Vacuums Hoover Breeze Evo vs Hoover Breeze Evo PetsBut 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. Not sure whether to buy the Hoover Breeze Evo? Here’s our review of this popular budget vacuum cleaner. Like most upright vacuum cleaners, the floorhead has a rotating brush bar to agitate carpet fibres and loosen the pile for a deeper clean. There’s a 2-in-1 dusting brush and furniture nozzle, an extension tube, and Hoover’s long crevice tool. The latter is a welcome addition, as crevice tools are getting shorter on a lot of recent vacuums, which limits where you can use them. 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.
