Hoover
Hoover has a history of over 100 years and was originally founded by William Henry Hoover. Today they look to produce products that use the latest technologies.
Much of the technology featured in their appliances has been created to help improve people’s quality of life. For instance, many of their vacuum cleaners include HEPA filters which help to capture allergens. This in fact gives a nod to the original creator of the vacuum cleaner; James M. Spangler, who suffered from asthma.
Today Hoover is part of the Haier Europe group, one of the world leaders in household appliances.
Hoover Upright 300 Vacuum Cleaner
If you are looking for a new hoover to help you get ahead in spring cleaning season. Then this could be the vacuum you have been looking for.
The Hoover (affiliate link) Upright 300 Vacuum Cleaner is one of the lightest, steerable corded vacuums on the market coming in at just under 5kg. In fact, it offers an 80-degree swivel which allows you to manoeuvre around furniture with ease. While getting up close to walls is easy, as seen in the photo above.
Anti Allergy
However, perhaps one of the most impressive features of the Hoover Upright 300 Vacuum Cleaner is the fact it helps clear your home of allergens. This particular model features the H13 HEPA Filter, which is perfect for allergy sufferers. A H13 filter catches a large amount of fine dust that can be missed by other vacuums and is one of the highest grade filters on the market. On top of this it takes advantage of Advanced Multi-Cyclonic Technology, which offers advanced dust separation, which means everyday dirt is pushed away from the filter, allowing it to stay clean for longer.
The use of both these features can help make a huge improvement to the purity of the air in your home. As such being a huge help to people who struggle with allergies inside the home.
What’s more, the HEPA filter is completely washable and easy to access to do so on the Hoover. Meaning you can also know your family is well cared for.
This particular version of the Upright 300 comes with a crevice and dusting tool, meaning it is also easy to use all around the home. To reach upstairs or those frequently occurring cobwebs in the corners, it is simple. All you need to do is detach the hose from the base and attach a cleaning tool of your choice. Overall (including tools) a total reach of 10.6m is achievable.
You can also change the settings to work with the surface you are hoovering. With a carpet / hard floor switch on the base, and an on-off switch for the roller.
My Thoughts on Hoover Upright 300 Vacuum Cleaner
Personally, I was really impressed with this vacuum. From the moment it was delivered, I remember remarking about how light it felt as I had to get it in.
The packaging it is sent in is mostly (if not completely) recyclable. Most of it consists of cardboard, with the tools and handle wrapped in a bag. I believe these could be recycled at larger supermarkets, but I’m not 100% sure. However, compared to the old style packing which used a lot of styrofoam I was impressed.
Putting the hoover together was simple. It came mostly complete, all that needed doing was the handle being slotted into place. While the tools could then be placed into clips on the back of the Hoover so they are always close to hand.
In Use
Using it is simple, there is a single on / off switch, next to a button that turns on and off the roller bar. While on the base features a bar that can be slid back and forth depending on if you are hoovering carpet or hard floor.
If you are wanting to use the accessories, everything is attached via a sturdy clip like feature. Which you simply press and then slide the accessory on or off. I found this a much better way to work things compared to other makes I have tried.
When it comes to manoeuvering, the 80-degree swivel allows for easy access around furniture, while you can easily get close up to walls and edges.
Overall, I am really impressed with the Hoover Upright 300 Vacuum Cleaner.
The Upright 300 Vacuum Cleaner normally comes in at £189.00, however right now if you head over to the Hoover website (affiliate link) it comes in at just £125.
What do you think of the sound of the Hoover Upright 300 Vacuum Cleaner would it be good for your home?
Pin It!
I was looking into getting one of these. I’m still rocking the old-school henry hoover. Time for an upgrade!
I mean there definitely is something about Henry isn’t there?
Perfect for my needs!
This looks powerful, I went for a handheld one that you charge and it’s a bloomin nightmare!
They can be such a pain you have to pay quite a bit to get one that works well – I think corded still are the best at packing a punch.
Sounds a great hoover at a really reasonable price! Definitely one I will look in to buying
It is a great hoover – I love that it includes a HEPA filter as well, very useful for people with allergies.
The new Hoover sounds impressive. Being lightweight is a priority for me, as being able to easily carry the device upstairs is essential. Also, it sounds easy to use which is brilliant as our current model a Dyson, can be a little tricky at times.
Although Hoover is known by everyone, Dyson has taken its place these past few years. However, it sounds like this new Hoover which helps to clear allergens, could help to regain Hoover’s top position as leader in this market.
Definitely, it is of a weight that it should be easy for most to carry upstairs (my Mum managed it as it was one test we put it to). It is good to see Hoover coming back with some new ideas.
A detailed review, thanks
It sounds good and I really need a new hoover! Mines so heavy so good to know this is really light.
It is so light I was really surprised by how light it is compared to previous ones I’ve used.
its good to have a light hoover some can be too heavy
Definitely, it amazes me how heavy some are, it makes the job so much harder for people.
Thanks for the review because with so many vacuums on the market, it’s not easy to select one.
It is really hard there is so much choice these days isn’t there?
It’s great to see a traditional vacuum cleaner manufacturer catching up with and competing with new boys on the block.
Definitely – I like how they have tried to think outside the box as well and added in the filter.
I love the hoover brand, they’ve been around for so long and have always found them a reliable brand
They are so well known, aren’t they? Good to see traditional brands coming back as well.
My dog sheds constantly – he’s already destroyed one vacuum with his fur! Will keep a look out for this one 🙂
Oh no dog fur can be the worst can’t it! Definitely worth checking out the pet version of this one.
It’s good to see traditional brands reclaiming their market space in this sector. I like the look of this machine, particularly that it feels light to handle.
Definitely, it is nice to see there are still the old brands about and they are still making waves on the market.
I’ve been looking to get a new hoover but didn’t know which kind I wanted. I like the sound of this one and I’ve heard good things about the brand.
They are definitely a good brand and if you are after something light this is so good.
I have chronic health and back issues, so a light hoover that is decent would be amazing
It can make all the difference as some are so heavy aren’t they? I was definitely impressed by how light these are.
Thank you for such a comprehensive review. Things like weight and attaching, using the tools matter to us!
You are welcome I really hope that it helps some people who might be thinking of getting this Hoover.
That is really neat that it has a HEPA filter on it. I don’t think I’ve seen that on a hoover before! ♥
It is such a good idea and I’m sure will really help allergy suffers as well.
Thanks for the review – I need to replace my ancient Dyson soon, so this was helpful.
Ohh your welcome, this is definitely so much lighter than the old-style Dysons.
Sounds amazing! Thanks for the review! I might look out for one.
No problem at all I am glad people are finding the review helpful.
I like the idea of the weight, I tried to use my friend’s Dyson a few weeks ago and it was so heavy, I don’t know how she ever manages the hoovering!
They really can be so heavy! I don’t understand why it’s like trying to move something unmovable.
this looks great, id need a new hoover with how much my cats shed hair
Pet fur can be a nightmare, it might be worth checking out the Pet version of this one, I believe it has an attachment great for getting that fur up!
Sounds really good! I have arthritis and so the lighter the better!
It makes such a difference having a lighter vacuum doesn’t it?
I am unable to do the hoovering anymore as it is too much for me, so delegate to hubby, but the lighter the better sounds good!
I have to admit I don’t do it myself either as I just don’t have the energy, Ash does it all here.
It’s nice to hear there is a vacuum that’s so light and easy to manoeuvre. But I replaced my old one with a cordless and I don’t think I could swap back. The only drawback is the short run time before it needs recharging!
Yes, we have a cordless here as we don’t have many plug sockets, but you can hardly make it around the place before the battery runs out! This one is over at my parents as they have stairs so the lightness is making it easier to carry up and down.
This does look like a really good vacuum, ours has packed up – we are hoping to get another one soon!!
Oh no, I hope you find a good hoover to replace yours. This is definitely a good deal with the discount right now.
As soon as I read lightweight I needed to read on. My current vacuum cleaner is so heavy I can hardly move it along, even my husband has trouble using it. This sounds like just what I need
Some of them just are so heavy, aren’t they? I don’t know how they are made to be used sometimes.
I enjoyed the history but can you find me a good stone / wood cleaner!
Ohh I’m not sure I can definitely try!
Wow that is an impressive machine for the price and with lots of history
It is great isn’t it – I couldn’t believe the price really as sometimes they cost so much!
