The Hoover HF6 Pet TurboSense Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, reduced from £199 to £129 with code REACHX70-HF6, has earned praise from pet owners who say it matches premium rivals for pet hair pickup. One Golden Retriever owner described being 'absolutely thrilled' with how the tool handled hair 'from sofa and cushions'.
Billed by Hoover as its 'most powerful cordless vacuum', the upright cordless model delivers up to 250AW of suction and runs for up to 100 minutes in Eco mode, which the brand says is the longest runtime in its cordless range.
Features designed for pet homes
The HF6 includes a Smart Floor Sensor that detects carpet or hard flooring and automatically adjusts the roller speed. It is also designed to pick up debris when moving forwards and backwards, and a motorised mini turbo brush tackles dog and cat fur on cushions and fabric surfaces. The main brushbar features Hoover's Anti-Twist technology to prevent hair wrapping around it.
The vacuum has three power settings – Eco, Standard and Turbo – plus LED headlights and a 0.7-litre dust bin with a one-touch emptying system. It comes with a wall mount for charging and storage, along with a two-in-one dusting brush and crevice tool.
Shopper reviews
Reviews praise the HF6's performance on pet hair. One customer wrote: "I'm absolutely thrilled with this. As a Golden Retriever owner, finding a vacuum cleaner that effectively tackles pet hair has always been a challenge, but this model does a really good job. The motorised pet tool works wonders on my sofa and cushions, effortlessly picking up dog hair without any hassle."
Another said: "Bought the Hoover HF6 vacuum cleaner almost a month ago and so far it's the best vacuum I've ever had. It's reasonably lightweight and it's managed to pick up dirt and hair pretty easily on the lowest setting. The bin is easy to empty, and it comes with a hooky stick thing to get out fur/hair that gets stuck if you have a lot to pick up."
A third called it a 'must-have hoover', adding: "Very pleased with it better than previous cordless hoovers. It's easy to use, it is very good at picking up house dirt and pet hair, and unfortunately, my own. The difference in the carpet is very big, including lifting the pile, giving you the stripes some like."
Criticisms and alternatives
Not all feedback was glowing. One customer noted: "It's powerful and works very well on floors. The accessories are fine, but I wish there were a hose attachment available to buy. It's quite heavy carrying the motor and battery section around when dusting, and a hose would make that much easier."
Another review compared the HF6 to big-name brands, calling it 'As good as a Dyson' and praising its "Exceptional suction and manoeuvrability."
For shoppers considering alternatives, the Shark PowerPro Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is on sale for £189.99, down from £299.99, while the Dyson Cyclone V10 Total Clean Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is available at Currys for £299, reduced from £449.
