Hoover Upright Vacuum Cleaner, HU500GHM, HEPA, Long Reach, Multi-cyclonic, H-UPRIGHT 500 Reach

Product Information

Remove the dust box and take it to your dust bin, press the flap release trigger and empty it out as shown I used my water-lift meter and anemometer to measure the vacuum’s power in AirWatts. I measured this cleaner at 155.34AW, placing it firmly in the mid-range. Spend more on a vacuum such as the Shark AX950UKT, and you’ll get more than 200AW. Finally, you can install the wiper blade at the rear to increase suction to the floor, although this does make the cleaner much harder to push around, particularly on carpet. Unless you’re experiencing problems with dust collection, I recommend that you leave this out. The H-Upright 500 Plus comes with two washable HEPA filters (one in the top of the bin and one at the front of the cleaner), which is great news for allergy sufferers. They’ll need to be cleaned regularly. You have one type of flooring in your home: While this machine works well on all types of flooring, if you have one type of flooring in your home, it may not be worth paying more for a feature you don’t need.

Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach HU500GHM review - Which?

Remove the belt and brush and fit new ones - loop the belt around the motor spindle, then loop over the brush and stretch into place. Before you fit the cover give the brush a turn by hand to make sure that the new belt is not jammed. Storage space is tight: At 113.5cm high and 6.25kg in weight, this isn’t the lightest design you can buy and older folk may find it cumbersome. For something that’s easily portable up the stairs you may want to consider a cordless or cylinder model instead. to maintain the belt and brushes, turn the cleaner over and use a standard Phillips screwdriver to remove the 6 screws holding the brush cover on lift off the cover to get to the belt and brushesWe test each corded vacuum multiple times on carpet, laminate and floorboards. To assess performance, we cover each surface with dust and calculate the percentage the vacuum removes. We repeat this with an assortment of debris, including biscuit crumbs and pet hair. All the tests are repeated in handheld mode. We test both modes in a variety of other cleaning scenarios, such as on stairs or in a car, and consider how easy it is to use. On hard floor, the brush bar automatically dropped down in speed. However, I still found it to be a bit vigorous, with some of the scattering of rice grains being pushed around on the floor. Int his scenario I found that it was better to use the vacuum cleaner with the brush bar turned off. Now take the cyclonic unit out and remove any debris collected. The dust box and cyclone can be washed in warm water but again ensure that they are dry before re assembly. Your cleaner has brushes that sweep the dirt up from the carpet and these are underneath the cleaner. To replace them start by removing the bottom cover.

If there’s one feature you can rely on Hoover to deliver, it’s neat onboard storage for all of its tools. The H-Upright 500 Plus doesn’t disappoint in this regard. Here, the motorised floor brush is attached to the base, while the other accessories clip around the body, including the 2-in-1 crevice tool and brush, the extra-long crevice tool and the attachable hose. There’s no motor power control, although you can open the vent at the rear of the cleaner to reduce suction power on some floors. Safety First! Please make sure your appliance is switched off before beginning any maintenance work. The H-UPRIGHT 500 comes with a range of accessories, including a crevice tool, dusting brush, and extension wand, making it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas. Its handle is ergonomically designed for comfortable cleaning, and it features a long power cord that allows for easy mobility.Next up is gaps in the air flow. This hose is in pretty good condition, but over time the plastic can degrade and rub against parts of the machine and you can end up with something looking like this. Now this is a pretty extreme example, but even the smallest of holes can cause a loss of suction. Take the dust box off and empty it out over your dustbin, press the latch to release the flap at the bottom of the container. Twist the top of the container to remove it and get to the pre motor filter. Thanks to a hose that stretches to 4.5m, you can clean a full flight of 13 stairs without having to balance or move the vacuum from the bottom step.
