The Hoover HL4 upright vacuum cleaner is now available for £99, reduced from its original price of £199, when shoppers use the exclusive discount code HL4-100 at Hoover's website. Customers have described the vacuum as the 'best Hoover I've had in years,' praising its powerful suction and lightweight design.
Key Features and Performance
The HL4 is touted as Hoover's most powerful lightweight upright model, featuring an 850W motor that delivers zero loss of suction. It weighs under 5kg, making it easy to carry between rooms and up stairs. The vacuum includes an anti-twist brushbar with an integrated comb to prevent hair tangling, along with specially crafted bristles and a velvet brushbar to lift embedded dirt and pet hair.
LED lights on the floorhead illuminate hidden dust and debris under furniture or in dark corners. A rocker switch allows users to toggle between hard floor and carpet settings, boosting brushbar speed for deeper cleaning on carpets. The 2.5-litre dustbin capacity reduces the need for frequent emptying, and one-click disposal makes emptying quick and hygienic. Suction power can be adjusted via controls on the handle.
Customer Reviews
One satisfied customer commented: 'Best Hoover I have had in years, great suction, so easy to swap to using the hand tool and very lightweight.' Another buyer noted: 'We've had this Hoover for just over 5 weeks now. Its performance has been outstanding. It's quieter than our old Vax upright and is good for picking up bits like cat litter between the carpet and the skirting board.'
A further review stated: 'The excellent reviews for this model in Good Housekeeping were accurate and true! The anti-tangle brush bar is a boon too. Would highly recommend!' Another shopper, who owns horses and pets, said: 'This is so effective, collects the debris, hay seeds etc plus the dog and cat hairs. The headlights are amazing too. Thanks for a brilliant product at an affordable price.'
Alternative Options
For those considering other models, Argos stocks the Shark Flexology Anti Hair Wrap Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner for £140, reduced from £180. Currys offers the Vax HomePro Pet-Design CLSV-HPPC Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for £179, down from £319, which includes anti-hair wrap technology and up to 45 minutes of runtime.
While the HL4 has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, one reviewer offered a nuanced perspective: 'I like this vacuum very much. It's light and manoeuvrable... The hose could be longer, and I wish it had a brush attachment as well as the nozzle. The button to release the hose is hard to push and release, but I expect that might loosen over time.'
