The new Hoover HF500 is the compact battery-powered stick vacuum designed to deliver impressive performance in collecting dust and debris. The motorized nozzle with an integrated brush prevents hair from wrapping around it during cleaning. When in storage mode, it stands at only 69 cm tall, making it convenient to store wherever you want.
Vacuum Effortlessly
No need to change brushes based on different floors anymore. A unique brush and the combination of soft and hard bristles allow it to effectively clean all types of hard floors, parquet, and carpets.
Ease of Use
The HF500 can temporarily stand upright* if necessary, allowing you to handle quick tasks with ease.
*When the stick is in use and you are monitoring it, you can temporarily leave it in its vertical position on hard floors. However, if the stick is left unattended, it must be stored on its wall mount.
Always ready for use
The HF500 is equipped with a built-in 2-in-1 furniture dusting tool and an integrated crevice nozzle, which can be easily attached to both the main body and the tube for cleaning high surfaces. It is ideal for hard and fabric surfaces. The integrated crevice nozzle is ready for use for cleaning tasks.
Easy Charging
Easy to charge. The battery can be charged directly in the product or simply removed and charged separately. You can check the battery status via the colored LED light on the product or the LED light on the battery if charged separately.
Easy Maintenance
Cleaning without stress and wasting time thanks to a quick maintenance function. The motorized nozzle with an integrated brush prevents hair from wrapping around the roller during cleaning, and the practical top cover allows easy access to the brush.
Impressive Performance
The Direct Impulse motor developed to provide consistent output power for a high-performance motor that spins at 100,000 rpm and delivers 75AW suction power, for impressive dust and debris collection on all types of floors.
Notification Screen
The 2 practical colored LED lights on the handle show the exact status of the battery charging and maintenance condition. The left side shows you the battery status at any time during cleaning and charging. The right side indicates when pre-filter maintenance is required.
Unique Visibility
The front large LED strip allows you to clearly see the dirt in dark areas on the floors during cleaning.
Easy Touch Screen
Practical LED touch screen for easy adjustment of the power setting with a single touch according to your cleaning needs.
Fast Charging
Fully charge the product in just 2.5 hours. Simply plug the connector into the battery on the vacuum to charge it. Alternatively, you can remove the battery and plug it into any outlet for easy charging. The battery is also equipped with an LED indicator light that shows when it is time to recharge or when it is ready to use.
Easy Storage
Small spaces? No problem. When in storage mode, the HF500 is only 69 cm tall for storage in a kitchen cabinet or wherever else you want.

Having already owned a more expensive rechargeable stick vacuum, a comparison inevitably arises between the two.
Positives:
- The vacuum is really very lightweight (2.6kg), fits everywhere for cleaning. (The more expensive one I have is 4.5kg)
- Its suction power is deemed sufficient.
- It cleans carpets well and with pet hair, without many passes. Of course, the Turbo mode is always needed there.
- The built-in foldable accessory for stairs and dust is very convenient. So you don't have to carry it with you.
- The batteries are removable.
- Very important that this particular model comes with 2 batteries as one is never enough for large spaces.
- The pet hair cleaning attachment for sofas, etc., is also useful. It can be used in cars and any upholstery.
- Lastly, it is a positive that it can be stored without needing to hang it up.
Negatives:
The battery does not last long. On mixed - carpet - floor where Turbo mode is necessarily used, it lasts no more than 15-20 minutes or about 60sqm. Fortunately, it comes with a second battery.
- The bin is very small. It will need to be emptied more frequently than other models.
- Cost... I consider the €250 to be overpriced. Perhaps because it has a second battery, which is a significant cost for someone to buy extra. Of course, it comes with fewer accessories, but it's not that tragic.
IF you find it for €220, it's just fine.
Conclusion: Compared to the more expensive vacuum, it does its job well with negligible differences in cleaning. It is clearly more practical and much lighter, but with a shorter battery life.
The vacuum cleaner is wasted money, as I saw in other buyers, the tube of the nozzle gets destroyed and cuts off, making it useless, and Hoover whistles indifferently.. also having an AEG at my disposal for seven years, it is much lower in power!
We have stored away the big vacuum cleaner and now we only use this one. It is lightweight, very easy to use and clean its attachments, and most importantly, it doesn't keep any hair stuck on the brush but collects them all in the detachable and easily washable bin.
We have been using it daily for a year and it works flawlessly. Our house is 115 square meters and the battery's performance is more than enough, it even has a turbo function which we only use on the couches. The top part can be removed and it becomes a handheld vacuum for small areas.
We accidentally dropped the bin while washing it in the sink and it broke, but we quickly found a replacement at the dealership here in Greece and to our surprise, it was very affordable.
If you want to leave it standing for a while, it stands upright on its own. The removable battery is a great advantage as you can charge it wherever is convenient for you, and of course, this is convenient because you can buy a second one to have more vacuuming time if you have a large house.
If you want to use a stick vacuum daily, it is the best for the money!!
Very good quality. Strong, Light compared to others, has small volume and stands upright for storage.
update 8 months later! In the sixth month, the elastic hose of the brush broke, which was replaced due to warranty (they told me that if it had been 8 to 12 months, they would not accept it even though it would be covered by warranty) After 2 months it broke again! When you turn on the turbo, the red light of the filter lights up for no reason. In the end, I do not recommend it if you have children and constantly collect crumbs or pet hair. It requires frequent cleaning and the intake of debris from the brush constantly gets stuck and does not suck. It is not worth its money.
