Hoover 700 handheld vacuum, ultra lightweight, powerful, ergonomic, car, 3in1 tool, dock,  H-HANDY 700 EXPRESS HH710M

Product Information

The nozzle is the main cleaning head on the Hoover H-Handy. Without any motorised brushes or attachments, it relies on suction power rather than any form of agitation. At just under 42cm, the H-Handy is a good length for reaching both floors and higher areas. You can access tight spots, like under the sofa and baby car seats, with ease. We also thought the LED light was a nice tough for illuminating dark corners. With that said, the H-Handy can still be useful for small dry spills inside your car. It’s certainly more convenient than a regular vacuum cleaner – just don’t expect to deep clean your car with it. For car cleaning, take a look at our guide to the best car vacuums instead. Stairs

In short, both of these Hoovers are the same cleaner but with different accessories. The Pet model includes an extra motorised nozzle with a velvet-like agitator for pulling up pet hair. This disturbs the fibres of fabrics, cleaning them deeper than a non-motorised nozzle. The short run time is also apparent when cleaning a car interior. You’ll need to act fast to get a whole car cleaned before the battery runs out. And, unless your car is already very clean, it will involve several empties of the dust canister.A downside to the Hoover’s design is the fiddly 3-in-1 attachment. You have to adapt the setup each time to change to the accessory you want, which is less convenient than having separate tools. This is a small issue though – and makes storing the attachment easier. When the bin is full, you remove the entire thing, pop out the washable filter and tip out the dirt. You can rinse away the mess in the bin, too: just make sure that you leave everything to dry before using the vacuum cleaner again. There isn’t a dedicated pet tool included with this model, but you can get it with the H-Handy 700 Pets. If you have animals, we suggest you opt for the pet version instead, as we found the basic version of the 700 provides poor pet hair performance. The ultra lightweight nature of the H-Handy makes it a good option for cleaning stairs. However, the small nozzle is time-consuming, so we’d suggest using the dusting brush attachment. It would have been nice to see a motorised attachment included, particularly for carpeted stairs.

Another issue is that we found the vacuum expels its exhaust air out of the sides of the main body. Several times we were trying to clean a patch of floor, only for debris we hadn’t cleaned yet to be blown away by the vacuum. Filtration It comes with a two-in-one attachment that has an extendable dust brush as well as a regular suction nozzle which is easy to switch around mid-clean.Even so, the attachments available can reach right into the many corners and edges on a staircase. And the battery should give enough run time to manage a whole flight, depending on how thorough you are. Pet Hair It seems like decent value as a stylish cleaning accessory, although there are cheaper, more rough and ready handheld vacuums to be found.

Accessing the Hoover’s filter is straightforward, as you just need to press a button on the top of the vacuum. The filters are washable and should be cleaned on a monthly basis. Hoover also provides a brush for getting rid of dirt on the filters, which is a useful extra. Emptying and Cleaning There also aren’t multiple power settings. A lower suction option would have been useful for extending battery life, but this isn’t an option.

Even if you don’t have pets, anything made from fabric will benefit from this deeper clean. So, having this attachment included adds to the overall versatility of a handheld vac. Direct Impulse Motor– This brushless motor delivers outstanding suction with great efficiency and a long lifespan. One of the first items I test when reviewing any vacuum cleaner is its power in AirWatts. This provides an indication of the vacuum’s level of suction. With the Hoover H-Handy 700, at the nozzle I estimated that it produced 63AW, which is a little more powerful than your average cordless vacuum cleaner’s standard setting.

We found it to be far more agile than the Dyson V7 Trigger, for example, which is bulkier and struggles in tight spots. But the trade-off is that the Hoover holds around 75% less dirt than the Dyson, so you need to empty it much more frequently. Unfortunately, this is an unnecessarily messy task (more on that later).

The dusting brush is a good size for cleaning blinds, for example, while being gentle enough for a computer keyboard. The crevice tool is also useful for cleaning under furniture or in tight locations, while the regular nozzle is fine for floors.

The compact nature of this vacuum also means the nozzle is quite small. While it’s great for tight spaces, it can be time-consuming to clean larger spills. Other Tools and Accessories (Including 3in1 Tool) We don't have a fancy tool to measure the exact power the Hoover delivered in testing, but it seemed like enough for small jobs around the house.
