Hoover Freedom 2in1 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, FD22L, Handheld, Above Floor Cleaning, Lightweight - Blue

Product Information

A soft and good-sized dusting brush that clips to this, and looks suitable for battling high-rise cobwebs. The floor-head has more bite and pulls dust and debris from the carpet better, although our carpet test still showed it wasn’t great. Freedom offers convenient cordless cleaning throughout your home, with a runtime of up to 20 minutes. The upholstery tool features a basic but functional design, with cut-outs to stop it sticking to your sofa.

The action of agitating the tool against the carpet shifts a fair bit of debris – but again, you need some arm strength to do it.An affordable cordless cleaner, but difficult to handle and delivers poor cleaning results across the board. On shorter-pile wool carpets, passing over the same area time and time again, it did pick up the majority of hairs. Both are a decent size, and with the airflow condensed into a smaller area, both provide reasonable suction.

Its cleaning power on carpets and hard floors is equally limited, however, and its disappointing build quality and poor ergonomics make it an ongoing challenge to use. Although this happened less frequently with the Hoover than on the Vax, it was often enough to suggest that this cleaner is far from pet-friendly.

Hoover is the latest brand to join the pistol-grip cordless vacuum cleaner revolution with the affordable Freedom FD22G. Freedom is the popular range of cordless vacuum cleaners from Hoover, designed to help make housework less of a hassle.

Over time, dust, dirt and allergens can accumulate in these hard-to-reach areas, but this cordless stick vacuum makes short work of them. We and our partners use cookies and similar tech to improve your site experience, show you personalised ads, and learn from your behaviour so we can, for example, recommend products you'll love!The Hoover Freedom Pets certainly lives up to its name with excellent pet hair pick-up when using the main floor head, as well as when using the mini turbo nozzle. Lifting it up to clean anything above the floor, or even moving from room to room, does require quite a feat of wrist strength. It impressed us with great performance, but considering cordless vacuums are not designed to be your main vacuum, we think it's very expensive.

A crevice tool is included to tackle all sorts of jobs, such as vacuuming dust up from skirting boards. One assumes that after a few months of stuffing the charging cable into the wrong hole and nothing happening, you’ll get used to that. Freedom cleans your floors beautifully thanks to its rotating brush bar, but it can also be used as a handheld vacuum in your car, on your stairs or on just about any other surface in the home.The FD22RA is a great choice if anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma, as the dust bin has been treated with silver-ions, to prevent bacteria from growing. A motorised rotating brush bar offers superb edge-to-edge cleaning, pulling up dirt and debris right up to your wall. Dust pick-up is very good on all floor surfaces, but it takes a lengthy six hours to charge and that'll give you a fairly average 25 minute run time. And the advanced cyclonic technology means this 2-in-1 cordless vacuum delivers great results every time, everywhere.
