Hoover Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Red - Upright 300

Product Information

The Hoover H-Upright 300 HU300RHM is a vacuum cleaner designed for dry cleaning. It has a powerful maximum input power of 850 W, making it capable of efficiently cleaning dust and debris. The vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter that helps to trap even the smallest particles of dust and other allergens, making it a great choice for homes with allergy sufferers. The dust capacity of this vacuum cleaner is 1.5 L, allowing for extended cleaning sessions without the need for frequent emptying. The dust container is also designed to be bagless, eliminating the need for disposable bags and reducing waste.

The Hoover is reasonably light for a corded model, weighing just 4.94kg. This is lighter than its similarly priced competitors, with the Shark DuoClean with Lift-Away NV702UK weighing 5.25kg and the Dyson Small Ball Allergy a hefty 6.9kg. It’s easier to carry around but isn’t small, standing at over a metre tall (1,147 x 300 x 320mm). The mains cord is 8.1m long and there’s a built-in hose for connecting the attachments to, which stretches to 2m. Safety First! Please make sure your appliance is switched off before beginning any maintenance work. Thanks to a motorised rotating brush bar, the HU300RHM makes light work of both carpets and hard floors. With hard floors or deep pile rugs and carpets, its recommended to turn off the rotating brush bar for a more suitable clean. With a noise level of 80 dB, the H-Upright 300 HU300RHM is moderately loud but not excessively noisy. There is no dust container full indicator or storage compartment, but the vacuum cleaner is relatively lightweight and easy to store away after use.

The Hoover H-Upright 300 cleans well and won’t break the bank, but it’s better on carpet than hard floor

You can switch this on and off, depending on the surface you’re cleaning; Hoover recommends you switch it off when cleaning floors and deep pile rugs.

The vacuum cleaner comes with a flexible hose that is 2 meters long and a crevice tool. The cord length is 7.1 m, which provides ample reach for cleaning large rooms or hallways.

Additionally, this vacuum cleaner features a HEPA air filter, ensuring that the air expelled from the cleaner is free from dust and allergens for a cleaner and healthier environment.I didn’t really want to attempt a conversation when I was vacuuming with the Hoover Upright 300 Pets, and I especially didn’t want to when I was using the motorised mini turbo brush – the pet hair tool. Bear this in mind if your animal housemates are sensitive to loud noise. A more difficult test is my carpet tile test, where I sprinkle flour right up to the skirting board. With the H-Upright 300 set to hard floor mode, it left a trace amount of dust behind, as you can see from the images below.

Weighing only 5KG it is easy to carry, manoeuvre and use all around the house. The ergonomic soft grip handle means its comfortable to hold whilst the 80 steering angle makes getting around furniture a breeze.First, the model I reviewed doesn’t come with many accessories. I’d recommend you opt for the Pet model, which comes with a better attachment for handheld jobs and doesn’t cost much more. Cleaning performance is also determined by the tools included with a cleaner. Lower suction power can often be negated with the use of decent tools that agitate dirt. To test this out, I ran my normal cleaning tests. On the brush bar is a manual slider: keep it closed for more suction on hard floors; or open to make the cleaner easier to push on carpet.
