Hoover Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Red - Upright 300

Product Information

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.

The Hoover HU300RHM is a lightweight, easy to use upright vacuum. 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, I started with the carpet test, sprinkling a teaspoon of flour onto the floor. Giving the H-Upright 300 a single sweep through the mess, with the head set to carpet mode, I found that it left a trace of the mess behind. There’s a tendency for vacuum cleaner manufacturers to make ever more expensive and complicated cleaners. The Hoover H-Upright 300 offers a tonic to that formula: it’s a cheaper, lighter upright cleaner that gets all of the basics right.Another downside for me was the machine’s reach under furniture. The bulk of its body means the floorhead doesn’t fit far under a bed, for example, and we all know the pet hair makes its way there as well. Having to swap to using the hose plus attachment or hose, handle and attachment combo makes the job take longer. Hoover Upright 300 Pets on carpets, hard flooring and upholstery Carpets and rugs

Approaching the mess from different angles and giving the H-Upright 300 a few more sweeps soon collected most of the mess, with just the crevice tool needed for the tiny particles remaining right at the edge. To use the hose and attachments, you have to disconnect the hose from the floor head. This is easily unclipped and then also needs to be freed from a retaining clip. Attachments connect on to the end of the hose or, if you want extra reach, you can release the handle from the main body and use it as an extension. The collection bin has a generous 1.5-litre capacity and is easily released from the chassis for emptying. It also contains the filters, which are washable in water and rated to the HEPA H13 standard. The Hoover H-Upright 300 is a fairly basic model, with a single rotating brush in its floor head. 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.

Once you’ve finished cleaning, the bin lifts out of the cleaner, and you can flip open the bottom to empty dirt quite easily. There’s one filter here and a another in the cleaner, both of which should be cleaned with water to maintain maximum suction. Performance The Hoover H-Upright 300 HU300RHM is a vacuum cleaner designed for dry cleaning purposes. With a maximum input power of 850 W, it provides sufficient power for effective cleaning. 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. 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 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.

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.There’s a power button on top of the dust bin, plus a button next to it that disables the motorised brush bar. That’s good to see, since cleaning hard floors and deep-pile carpet can be difficult with the brush spinning. Unfortunately, this vacuum cleaner does not feature a dust container full indicator or a storage compartment. However, its durable construction and reliable performance make it a suitable choice for households or small businesses in need of an efficient and effective cleaning solution. 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.
