Thinking of buying the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express?

Many cylinder vacuums don’t include a turbo brush, so we think this is a welcome addition that has a positive effect on the vacuum’s carpet-cleaning performance.. Aside from the floorheads, the Duronic also includes a 2-in-1 nozzle for cleaning awkward areas.This combines a crevice tool with a dusting brush, although we felt that the quality of this tool is low – especially as the crevice tool is shorter than most competing models..

While the Duronic has a flexible hose, it’s only 1.5 metres long, which can feel restrictive – especially as the body of the vac isn’t the easiest to manoeuvre around the home.This hose is the same length as the Hoover Enigma, but considerably shorter than most.Suction Power & Cleaning Performance.

Cleaning Performance Rating: 3.7/5.The Duronic VC7020 provides surprisingly strong suction for an inexpensive vacuum cleaner.

While raw suction isn’t everything when it comes to a vacuum’s cleaning performance, the VC7020 won’t let you down in terms of power.. There’s also a suction adjustment dial, which is great for adjusting the vacuum when moving between different surfaces.. A downside is that the vacuum’s suction tends to reduce as the dust canister fills up.

This is a common issue we’ve found with cheaper vacuums, as these models don’t have the same level of cyclonic design found on vacuums like the Dyson.Plus it has a stylish metallic front panel for added chic..

Weighing just 0.66kg, but with a tiny 0.15 litre capacity to match, everything about the Hoover is small and nimble.. We found it to be far more agile than the.Dyson V7 Trigger.

, for example, which is bulkier and struggles in tight spots.But the trade-off is that the Hoover holds around 75% less dirt than the Dyson, so you need to empty it much more frequently.
