Hoover TH71 SM01001 Smart Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner , 3 L, 700 W - White and Red

Product Information

The 700 watt motor is equivalent to a performance of 2100 watts and has an “A” energy rating. That’s always good to hear if, like me, you vacuum often; all ways to keep costs down are appreciated! On the front of the machine there is a carpet care control selector which raises and lowers the height of the brushes. With the machine in the upright position I simply moved the selector to the required setting for the carpet type or floor covering for edge-to-edge cleaning.

The main difference between this Eufy and pricier robots – including ones from the same brand –is in the software. There's no app control or integration with smart speakers, and it doesn't take the same logical path around the home when cleaning as other more expensive Eufy models do. Sometimes it’ll go in straight lines and sometimes seek out the edges of a room, while on occasion, it’ll travel in circles, which means it may take slightly longer to clean the whole room or floor. We also found that it wasn't always great at moving around objects such as deep-pile rugs, piano pedals, and pet food bowls. Smart Evo offers easy, effortless vacuuming. Weighing less than 4kg, Smart is designed to be lightweight, nimble and extremely easy to handle. You can use it on all types of floors and there’s a 2in1 dusting brush and crevice tool to help you effectively clean a wide range of surfaces, nooks and crannies. All tools are conveniently stored on board and its efficiently designed size will also take up minimal storage space in your home. As well as deciding whether you want a robovac that just vacuums or one that mops, it’s also important to consider battery life, as nobody wants a robot vacuum that runs out of power halfway through cleaning your home. Similarly, look for robot vacuums that have large dust canisters or those that empty their dust bins, meaning it really can be left to clean your floors unaided. How much you spend depends on your budget and your must-haves in a robot vacuum cleaner. As a rule of thumb, the more features and functions a robot has, the more expensive it will be. This doesn't mean that the performance you are getting with a robot vacuum will be any less, though. Do robot vacuums work on pet hair? The iRobot Roomba S9+ is the best robot vacuum you can buy right now, so why have we put it at number three? That's because it's also one of the most expensive ones, with a price that will put it out of reach for many. If you can afford it, however, it's exceptionally good.That doesn’t mean they’re a complete replacement for the best vacuum cleaners, as they’re not quite as good at deep cleaning – not to mention aren’t capable of handling stairs or multiple floors. Plus, if you have pets, you might have to invest in one of the best robot vacuum cleaners for pet hair to truly get your home clean. We also found the robot vacuum tended to try and climb up low-lying furniture, while the customization of maps in the app wasn't as robust as we'd have liked. That said, it's still a great performing robot vacuum –although if you can live with slightly lower power, the same firm's cheaper D8 and D9 are very good too. The only other thing that’s needed to maintain top performance from the cleaner is to keep the washable filters clean and they are very easily accessed. On this model it’s recommended to wash the HEPA filter after every 5 bin empties while the exhaust filter should be washed once a month. The Eufy's slim size means it has no problems cleaning under furniture with low clearance. However, that slimness means it has a smaller dust bin than many other models on the market.

If you're looking for the ultimate in AI-powered cleaning this Eufy isn't it. But if you want a cheap, cheerful and very effective cleaner, it's hard to beat at this price. If you're looking for a robot vacuum on a budget, the Eufy 11S is worth considering. It has a reasonable price and that price is often discounted, so you’ll be hard pushed to find a rival that's such good value for money. The best models to choose are ones that have rubber brushes that are free from bristles, so the pet hair doesn't get trapped around them. Although that's not to say robot vacuums with bristled brush bars aren't as effective at collecting the hair. If you choose one of these, look for a design with a tool to help remove pet (or human) hair that's got tangled to make your life easier. Can a robot vacuum replace a normal vacuum? So, overall the Hoover Smart TH71SM01001 is a very reasonable priced lightweight but powerful cleaner that features edge-to-edge cleaning with convenient on board storage, a stretch hose and a host of tools that will make cleaning the whole house a breeze!

From the box I needed to fit the handle to the cleaner body and fix it with the screw provided, this is very easy to do and I didn’t even need a screwdriver as this was easily tightened with a coin. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ That said, the best robot vacuum cleaners are great at taking that day-to-day cleanup off your plate.

This is particularly important if you need to carry the vacuum cleaner upstairs – you don’t want to be lugging anything too heavy up and down the stairs.

We wouldn't recommend cutting that corner if you have hairy or shaggy dogs, however: the reason we think this is such a good choice for pet owners is because its automatic emptying solves one of the big problems of vacuuming up after dogs, which is the sheer amount of hair they manage to shed. Our greyhound isn't exactly hairy, yet somehow she seems to shed her own body weight in fur every couple of days so we're constantly vacuuming it up and traipsing to the bin. This Roomba does that for you. The use of bags also helps reduce the presence of dog dander and other potential irritants, which is handy if like us you have family members who are allergic to it.

Robot vacuum cleaners FAQs

As much as we love our four-legged pals, we don't love cleaning up their hair or the messes they make. So we really like this Roomba, which excels at cleaning up after your pets. Key features on this model include advanced laser navigation and mapping – so it knows which way to go without bumping into obstacles – and an Auto-Empty Station that cleans its onboard 14.2oz / 420ml dust box for you into a disposable 0.5 gallon / 2.5-liter dust bag. This means that not only is there no need to keep emptying the dust box, you may only need to think about emptying the bag once a month or so. There's also an 8.1oz/240ml water reservoir and a clip-on mopping pad.
