Hoover Upright Vacuum Cleaner, HU500GHM, HEPA, Long Reach, Multi-cyclonic, H-UPRIGHT 500 Reach

Product Information

With its sturdy construction, this vacuum cleaner is built to last, providing years of reliable service. With its ergonomic design, the Hoover H-UPRIGHT 500 PLUS is easy to manoeuvre, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach areas with ease. We test both modes in a variety of other cleaning scenarios, such as on stairs or in a car, and consider how easy it is to use.

A 2-in-1 crevice and soft dusting brush is also fitted on the body of the machine, which can easily be detached and added to the hose for use on corners and narrow spaces such as bookshelves, as well as on hard surfaces to avoid scratching them. Whether you want to deep clean your carpet or tidy a hardwood floor, a versatile stand up Hoover will get the job done. Myself I find it ok to just leave the roller brush on all the time as I find it best to clean regularly and not let the dirt and grit build up on wooden floors! But one of the benefits of a corded vacuum cleaner is the fact that you don’t have to worry about recharging batteries every time you use it and fretting that it’s going to stop working mid clean – something we’ve been caught out many a time here at TechRadar while using a cordless! The pet hair brush is largely effective, but at times we found that pet-hair got stuck to the underside of the brush by static charge rather than removed by the vacuum.The electric cord has to be unwound one loop at a time, the upper hook does not twist to allow the wire to fall off in one pull. The Hoover H-UPRIGHT 500 PLUS also comes with a range of attachments, including a crevice tool and a dusting brush, making it suitable for cleaning different surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. As good as reach is, the H-Upright 500 Plus doesn’t make it easy to switch from one mode to another. This is an excellent, compact upright for those who want comprehensive carpet cleaning, but perhaps not for those with hard floors. It's mediocre on hard floors, particularly laminate, where it tends to push dirt around rather than remove it.

the hoover has a ball effect that allows the head to get into the corners, but the handle and cylinder tend to lean to the right and is heavy to maintain a straight line. Well-respected large-appliance brand Hoover sells a wide range of vacuums including cordless, handheld, upright and cylinder designs. The Hoover H-UPRIGHT 500 PLUS is a vacuum cleaner that offers efficient and thorough cleaning for your home. A relatively powerful vacuum cleaner with neat storage, the Hoover H-Upright 500 Plus offers decent value. NOTE: It is recommended to empty the dust bin after each use or when dust is up to the max fill lines.You can press the brush bar on/off button at the top of the unit when the Floor Sensor function is OFF. The hose attachment is totally separate so you have to plug it into the back of the Hoover each time you want to use it which I found a bit annoying if I wanted to keep switching between upright and hose. you can clean a full flight of 13 stairs without having to balance or move the vacuum from the bottom step.

Things are better in upright mode, where the vacuum’s height-adjustable wand makes it comfortable for pretty much anyone to use. However, if you’re looking for even more flexibility, take a look at our cordless vacuum collection. Once complete, I had a relatively clean path through the middle; there was a faint line at the sides, however, where just surface-level dirt had been picked up. Finally, I combed cat hair into the carpet and then ran the vacuum cleaner through on Automatic mode.Press the ‘auto’ button positioned conveniently below the main handle of the Hoover H-Upright 500 Sensor Plus and you can make use of its built-in floor sensor technology. So I wouldn't recommend this cleaner for my Granny but myself after three weeks of use my wrist muscles have strengthened up and I don't notice it now.

The long reach of this Hoover is enough to cover a whole flight of stairs, so you won’t need to balance the vac on a step. H-UPRIGHT 500 Plus is a range of corded bagless upright vacuum cleaners with automatic Floor Sensor Technology for optimal performance on all floor types and with multi-cyclonic dust separation technology for no loss of suction.While it provides decent performance on carpets, it struggles on hard floors and is inconvenient to use. With the auto button and separate brush bar on, we were impressed with how powerfully it picked up dirt and debris and felt it change suction power between the tiled floor in the kitchen, laminate floor in the hallway and carpet in the living room. But I liked the way it was described and the features particularly the 10m cable which stops you having to switch plugs when doing the job.
