Hoover has slashed the price of its HL4 Upright Vacuum Cleaner to £99, a £100 discount that undercuts Amazon's current price of £149.43. The offer, available directly from Hoover using the code HL4-100 at checkout, brings the vacuum down from its original £199 price tag.
Powerful and Lightweight Design
The HL4 is touted as Hoover's most powerful lightweight upright vacuum, featuring an 850W motor that delivers consistent suction across carpets and hard floors. Despite its power, it weighs less than 5kg, making it easy to carry between rooms and up stairs. The vacuum includes an anti-twist brushbar with a built-in comb to prevent hair tangling, along with LED lights on the floorhead to illuminate hidden dust in dark corners. A rocker switch allows users to toggle between hard floor and carpet modes, boosting brushbar speed for deeper cleaning.
Customer Reviews and Praise
The vacuum has garnered widespread praise from customers. One reviewer called it the "best Hoover I have had in years, great suction, so easy to swap to using the hand tool and very lightweight." Another noted its "outstanding" performance, adding that it is "quieter than our old Vax upright" and effective at picking up cat litter and debris. A third reviewer, who lives on a smallholding with horses and pets, said the vacuum "collects the debris, hay seeds etc plus the dog and cat hairs" and praised the "amazing" headlights.
One customer described it as "a beast," stating that while cordless cleaners are great for flooring, "they don't really beat a carpet and leave it looking like new but this does." However, some mixed feedback mentioned the hose could be longer and the hose release button hard to push, though the overall sentiment remains highly positive.
Specifications and Features
The HL4 boasts a 2.5-litre dustbin capacity with one-click disposal, reducing trips to empty it during large cleaning sessions. Suction power is adjustable via controls on the handle, allowing users to tailor performance for rugs or hard flooring. The vacuum's anti-tangle brushbar, combined with specially crafted bristles and a velvet brushbar, effectively lifts stubborn dirt and pet hair while minimising manual maintenance.
Comparison with Competitors
For context, Argos is offering the Shark Flexology Anti Hair Wrap Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner for £140 (was £180), which features DuoClean floorhead and Anti Hair Wrap Technology. Currys has the Vax HomePro Pet-Design CLSV-HPPC Cordless Vacuum Cleaner at £179 (was £319), offering up to 45 minutes of use and five accessories. However, the Hoover HL4's current price of £99 positions it as a budget-friendly option with strong performance credentials.
