Hoover's HL4 Upright Vacuum Cleaner, now available for £99 with the code HL4-100, has garnered enthusiastic reviews from shoppers, with many praising its suction power and lightweight design. One user declared it the "best Hoover I've had in years," while another said they would "choose this over a Dyson any day."
Powerful Suction and Lightweight Design
The HL4 is marketed as Hoover's most powerful lightweight upright vacuum, featuring an 850W motor that delivers consistent suction on both carpets and hard floors. Weighing under 5kg, it is easy to carry between rooms and up stairs. The vacuum includes an anti-twist brushbar with an integrated comb to prevent hair tangling, LED lights on the floorhead to reveal hidden dust, and a rocker switch to adjust brushbar speed for carpets.
User Reviews Praise Performance and Value
Customers have highlighted the vacuum's excellent suction, ease of use, and value. One user wrote: "One of the best uprights I’ve used, and it doesn’t cost a fortune. Would choose this over a Dyson any day." Another said: "Best Hoover I have had in years, great suction, so easy to swap to using the hand tool and very lightweight." A third reviewer noted: "The suction is excellent, and it is easy to empty. The filters are straightforward to clean. Highly recommended."
Minor Criticisms and Overall Satisfaction
Some users noted minor drawbacks, such as a short hose and a stiff hose release button. One reviewer mentioned: "The hose could be longer, and I wish it had a brush attachment. The button to release the hose is hard to push." However, the majority of feedback is overwhelmingly positive. One satisfied buyer described it as "a beast," adding: "It's corded, which isn't a problem; it's incredibly powerful, and you'll love it too." Another pet owner said: "The suction is great, it lifts so much doghair out of the carpets. The carpets look brand new."
Alternatives and Availability
For those considering alternatives, the Shark Lift-Away Upright Vacuum is reduced from £249 to £169.99, offering detachable pod technology. The Vax Air Stretch Max Upright Vacuum is a budget-friendly option at £100 with a long-reach hose. The Hoover HL4 is available directly from Hoover with the discount code HL4-100.
