Hoover Breeze Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner Bagless, Lightweight & Compact, Teal [BR71 BR01]

I love this cleaner. We got it yesterday for my mother. I unplugged and had it ready to go in a minute or two. It moves around the floor really easily and has excellent suction. Switching floor surfaces involves sliding the big stitch on the top of the hoover head, which wasn't as easy as the top button you press down on some machines, but straightforward enough. It really grips the floor well and the suction is powerful. Still easy to move around though. It is such a lightweight cleaner too, and the head is good quality and tough to take knock. As you whiz around the house. There were two other heads included, a smaller stairs brush head and a tiny little thing for getting into gaps. That just wasn't very long. The only negatives are that when the cleaner head and pipe clip into the back of the machine to store, it can take up more space than you should need. Also, when cleaning you can find the top pipe twists in the bottom, making the head turn out of alignment a bit. Simple points that really don't make a difference but just stop the cleaner being perfect. All in all, one of the best vacuum cleaners you will get for under a hundred pounds. Well recommended.

Ok first, we bought this as due to illness I can’t lift heavy things and needed a lightweight, easy to use vacuum. We have two dogs, one moults heavily year round. In order to keep up with the amount of vacuuming that needs to be done we have a Henry for monthly use (boyfriend does that), a hand held for daily use and this Hoover for weekly. However, the pet brush is useless for the task at hand (Collie hair) and gets tangled in minutes. It’s a shame the pet hair brush tool couldn’t stand up to Collie hair but to be fair, I haven’t found one yet that can. So I just use the standard brush in combination with the other vacuums and it’s fine for that. The suction is pretty powerful for such a small machine and it’s performance on laminate and linoleum is great, on carpet and rugs average. The cord is quite short and could do with being much longer for our home but as it’s light it isn’t a problem moving it around. The brush and stair attachments are handy for skirting boards, radiators and window sills, the cylinders and filters easy to access and clean, which is good because with these dogs and rural living it fills up pretty fast. It’s also not too loud, light enough to lift for ceilings and crevices and dinky enough for smaller storage cupboards. I saw in another review that the Hoover itself can get static and attract hairs. This does happen a little but I just vacuum them off! So - if you want one stand alone pet vacuum cleaner that can do everything in a larger home that requires frequent heavier cleaning it’s not the one. If, however - you DON’T have pets with fur and lighter cleaning to do in a smaller home it’s a nifty bit of kit that does the job, particularly on hard flooring. - If you DO have pets that don’t moult very much and a small home it’s a good easy to handle machine that’s easy to look after and convenient to use, clean and store. - If like us, you have heavier cleaning to do and much hairier pets it’s good as a fast and easy back up for weekly maintenance cleaning in conjunction with a meaner machine for regular deep cleans.

I was very disappointed when my 2300w hoover decided not to work and set about looking for a new which is time consuming and not one has all great reviews and the prices vary enormously. As I have previously had the brand I decided to stick with it, I read the negative reviews but thought for the price it is worth a go, yes they are right initially the hose pipe kept falling out of the plastic handle but I have managed to rectify this by ensuring it is pushed in hard, it does feel flimsy plastic unlike my old sturdy one. However it does the job very easy to move round the suction was better than my old one I have to use the vent on the handle because once it gets on a mat it does not let go easily! Overall for the price and quality I feel it was an extremely good buy and pleased I purchased it.

Excellent hoover for the price, picks up a lot more that my cordless one doesn't from deep within the carpet (I've had 2 different cordless ones in the last 6 months), a lot of power and sucks on to the carpet. Easy to manoeuvre due to the size and easy to hold for my mum who has a broken ankle, good choice of attachments & tools to make it a good All-In-One hoover.

This was fine at first - maneuverability was good and it's pretty lightweight. The suction was never amazing, but fine - at first. 9 months in with occasional use and regular maintenance, the suction was nonexistent. It comes with a 2 year warranty, so I contacted Hoover, and they said vacuums are not eligible for service appointments and to get in touch with Amazon to exchange it, as that's their contract with them. I contacted Amazon and there was no option to service or exchange - only a refund. Problem was, the price went up £20, so to replace it, I'd have to pay another £20, which isn't exactly meeting the warranty conditions. It took 3 Amazon reps to credit me the full price to replace it, but ultimately, I think there are better vacuums out there for around the same price or a touch more. I ended up getting a Eureka Apollo and it is like night and day - the suction is incredible and overall it performs way better for the same convenience.

This is the second one I have bought via Amazon, I gave the first one to my daughter. This Hoover model is ideal for vacuum cleaning the interior of SUVs or cars of a similar size. It has a powerful suction and an attachment with a brush facility that is perfect for cleaning the dash and other areas liable to collect dust or food detritus. I gave the first one I bought to my daughter because it had proved its worth, and even after 2 years is working perfectly. If one maintains the cleaner IAW the manufacturer's instructions, it will last for many years.

The suction on the hoover is powerful (be aware if you're after something lightweight), as this requires muscle power to get the hoover to move, especially over carpets. The setting can be changed, but I find the carpet setting wasn't enough to pick everything up, but the hard floor setting was over the top. I clean it out after every use and have found that it's losing a little of the suction. Could be a good thing with how much it was when first it use, but it remains to be seen whether it will last in the long run. Another thing is, the noise level. My husband thought something was taking off when I first put it on! This isn't the quietest of vacuums. Other than these points, it's a vacuum that's just used for around the house and has got the job done many times. If you're looking for a good vacuum that doesn't break the bank, then this is a good enough choice.

Initially purchased one to clean the inside of my car. The positives are that it is lightweight, has good suction. The cons are that the cylinder capacity is rather small, but if you only use it to clean the inside of your car then it is quite sufficient. Secondly the cable length is so short, you will need an extension cable when using it. Supplied crevice tool is the bog standard very short and stubby type, which is totally useless when trying to access down the side of your cars handbrake etc. After purchasing an alternative crevice tool, this vacuum is just what I wanted, so much so I purchased one for my daughter. Absolute downside, not for use in the home, cyclinder capacity is no good for home use.
