[Mighty Gadget]

The Hoover HFX Pet is an innovative cordless vacuum cleaner with a unique Corner Genie head for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. It builds on Hoover's existing cordless vacuums by adding more power and convenient storage options.

The full review of the Hoover HFX Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner can be found at Mighty Gadget. 

Overview

The HFX Pet cordless vacuum comes with a main floor head and the detachable Corner Genie mini nozzle. It easily converts into a handheld vacuum and can fold in half for storage. Key specs include 30 minutes of runtime, rapid 3.5 hour charging time, and a large 1.2 liter dust bin.

Design and Features

Weighing 3.7kg, the Hoover HFX feels relatively lightweight yet solidly built. The floor head works well on carpets and hard floors while the Corner Genie excels at cleaning edges and tight spaces. Its mini motorized brush loosens pet hair effectively. The dust bin is easy to empty with a no-touch release. Battery life delivers a sufficient 30 minutes for average homes. The only negative is lack of a second battery for extended cleaning sessions.

Cleaning Performance

Suction power feels noticeably stronger than the HF9 model, likely thanks to the more powerful 455W motor. The anti-hair wrap design prevents tangles or clogs when vacuuming pet fur. Overall pick up is excellent across bare floors, rugs and carpeting.

Convenience and Storage

The HFX cordless vacuum folds in half for convenient storage, taking up minimal space. Charging is also rapid at 3.5 hours. The wall mount allows grabbing the vacuum quickly when needed.

Verdict

At £369, the Hoover HFX Pet brings excellent cleaning abilities plus handy design features tailored for pet owners. The Corner Genie head reaches where regular vacuums cannot, and suction power has been stepped up. Downsides are minor - mainly lack of a second battery. For convenient, tangle-free pet hair cleaning, the HFX Pet is easy to recommend.

What I Like

• Innovative Corner Genie head for hard-to-reach areas
• Good suction power from the 455W motor
• Anti hair wrap technology prevents tangles
• Large 1.2 liter no touch dust bin
• Convenient folding design and wall mount
• Rapid 3.5 hour charging time

What Could Be Better

• Run time limited to 30 minutes
• No option for second battery to extend cleaning
• Heavier than more compact stick vacuums
• Lacks accessories like crevice or soft dusting brush

In summary, the Hoover HFX Pet brings excellent upright vacuum cleaning capabilities tailored for pet owners needing to tackle hair and tight spaces. Convenient folding design and rapid charging add to the appeal. Lack of accessories and single battery limitation remain the only notable downsides.
