Hoover Breeze Evo TH31PFB001 Pets Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

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. 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. We think the Hoover Breeze is a decent upright vacuum for the price, but only if you can overlook some significant flaws. Includes non-motorised accessories with onboard storage (including a dusting brush and upholstery tool)

The Hoover Breeze Evo is an affordable upright vacuum cleaner. It has a three-litre bagless dirt capacity, five brush bar settings for multi-surface cleaning, and a low-power motor to reduce energy costs. The floorhead on the Hoover Breeze Evo provides strong performance for such an affordable cleaner. It looks basic and clunky, and there aren’t any headlights, but it’s effective for floor cleaning. 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.

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 Not sure whether to buy the Hoover Breeze Evo? Here’s our review of this popular budget vacuum cleaner.

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.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. 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. 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. 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 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.

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. 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.
