The current £89 price on Amazon applies to the turquoise version of the Hoover HF1 Max Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, designed for pet owners. That is a 36% reduction from the original £139.99. Other colourways remain at higher prices: black at £99, magenta at £128.99 and purple at £147.99.
Features and performance
The cordless vacuum provides 200W of suction for picking up dust, crumbs and everyday mess. There are three speed modes: eco for daily touch-ups, standard for general cleaning and turbo for deep-cleaning carpets and area rugs. The machine also features anti-hair-wrap technology and an LED light that highlights hidden debris.
Design and runtime
The Hoover HF1 Max runs for up to 50 minutes on a single charge. Its double-edge cleaning and cordless design allow it to reach dirt in small corners and under sofas. Weighing just 2.2kg, it can stand upright on its own, and the handheld mode makes it easier to clean stairs.
Each model comes with a crevice tool, a motorised pet tool and a wall mount with charger.
Customer reviews
The vacuum holds a 4.2 out of 5 star rating from nearly 500 Amazon reviews. One shopper said: “I spent ages searching for a cordless hoover, and this one’s honestly great. I love the simple dust bin – super easy to empty and clean. It’s really lightweight and can be carried upstairs with just one hand, the bendy head gets right under the sofa and around furniture perfectly.”
Another wrote: “Easy to use, lightweight and versatile. I don’t care for housework but this vacuum helps make it easier. Nice price too.”
A third reviewer added: “Best hoover I’ve ever had! You have to buy this hoover. I only got it because mine broke last week and I didn't want to spend lots of money on yet another one. But honestly, this is the best one I've ever had.”
However, some buyers noted battery problems. One said: “The battery doesn't always set properly, and it won't turn on. I have to take it out and put it back a few times before it lines up correctly, which is a pain because you have to take it out to charge it. Other than that, it's light and versatile.” Another commented: “It is a lightweight vacuum cleaner but somehow the battery lasts for not more than 30 minutes.”
