The American brand Hoover was founded in 1908. The company is legendary because it was she who managed to present the world's first hand-held vacuum cleaner to the public. In 1995, the European business of the enterprise was acquired by Candy Group.
Since then, the Italian company has been responsible for the development of the brand almost all over the world, with the exception of North America, which has managed to expand the brand line not only with vacuum cleaners, but also with new product groups: built-in and stand-alone large household appliances.

Stick Vacuum Cleaner
The device was delivered in a fairly presentable cardboard box in black and red. The front part shows the assembled Hoover Freedom cordless vacuum cleaner and several important characteristics that I managed to get acquainted with on the way from the post office home.
Opening the box, I realized that this is the rare case when you have to resort to studying the instruction manual. Fortunately, the developers took care of the user, and were not too lazy to gradually present the assembly of the device in pictures. It is worth adding that each element inside is well-packed. Even for instructions, a branded plastic bag was found in the brand’s office.
Thus, I was satisfied with the first impression of my acquaintance with a vertical vacuum cleaner. I believe that in the review of the wireless Hoover Freedom it will not be superfluous to talk about the purpose of the nozzles and other components of the configuration:
- Motorized nozzle - the main one, equipped with a rotating brush, which can be turned off;
- Crevice nozzle - to remove debris in hard to reach places;
- For pet hair - removes villi and pet hair from different coatings;
- Flexible nozzle 2 in 1 - for furniture and dust;
- Wall mount - allows you to store the battery vacuum cleaner in a vertical position;
- Charger - for charging a lithium-ion battery;
- Instruction
All parts look quite high quality, without defects. Also, I did not feel an unpleasant smell from the box, which is typical for cheap plastic.
Hoover Freedom Parameter Overview
Previously, I did not have to use a wireless vacuum cleaner, so, first of all, I would like to share my impressions about the ease of use in the review of the Hoover Freedom wireless stick vacuum cleaner. Due to its light weight (2.3 kg), without much fatigue, he cleaned the whole apartment: from the bathroom to the hall, where a lop-eared cat likes to relax. You understand that the presence of a pet in the house significantly increases the amount of work. At the same time, the presence of a built-in handle and a quick nozzle exchange system allow the device to be operated with one hand.
This is convenient if you need to raise a chair, armchair or other objects of the interior. It is worth adding that the handle is equipped with a special limiter that prevents accidental button presses. Using a special latch, you can lock the controller in the on mode.
A 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery with a voltage of 22 V was enough to clean a two-room apartment. At the same time, the presence of the Led indicator and charging status was pleasantly pleased. However, one charge is enough for 25 minutes of work. It takes 6 hours to fully charge.
Scope of the vacuum cleaner
From the name of the model it is clear that the device has an extremely extensive scope. Although, the word "Freedom" is more likely to characterize battery operation, because there is no need to drag wires along and constantly look for a free outlet. In the review of the Hoover Freedom vacuum cleaner, I can not help but talk about the simple connection of nozzles to both the engine compartment and the pipe. As a result, it is very easy to clean manually in the car: seat upholstery, luggage compartment. I was also pleased with the quality of vertical cleaning of cracks in the kitchen, the space near the sofa, baseboards.
Of course, the cleaning efficiency is due to the quality of the nozzles. I especially like the flexible one, with the help of which it was possible to remove dust under the bed, from the surface of the cabinet and between the pillows of the sofa. When installing the brush, it really effectively removes the cat's hair.
In general, the scope of the vacuum cleaner is limited only by your imagination. Due to the complete set of nozzles and the possibility of operating the device in two modes, it is possible to remove the most remote places from dust and debris.
Vacuum cleaner care
And in this part of the review of the Hoover Freedom vacuum cleaner there is nothing to complain about. The 0.7 liter container is extremely easy to clean - open the special latch and remove the container.
I want to say that I was quite surprised at how quickly the capacious tank filled up. Naturally, this is not my first vacuum cleaner, but earlier two cleanings were not enough to completely fill the garbage container per 1 liter. This indicates the effectiveness of the device.
Special attention should be paid to a special filtration system called Allergy Care Plus. Fortunately, there are no allergic people in the family, so I can’t check how effectively the device prevents allergens. But I have no reason to doubt the relevance of the manufacturer's statement. Actually, the module looks quite convincing.
Thus, there were no problems in the care of the vacuum cleaner. All parts are removed and connected in one motion. But their diversity can catch you by surprise, as was the case with me. In this case, the instruction will help to understand for what needs this or that part is intended. However, the basic answers are already in this review of the vertical vacuum cleaner from Hoover.
Additional features
In addition to a well-thought-out filter system from allergens, and high-quality nozzles, this device attracts by the presence of a high-quality fabric filter. To clean it, just rinse under water.
I also liked the quality of the handle of a Hoover Freedom cordless vacuum cleaner with a soft coating. For 22-23 minutes of operation, I was not tired at all, although all this time I held the device with one hand
Another attractive fact is the presence of silver ions in the coating of the container. As you already understood, there is no power regulator. But based on personal experience, I want to say that the effectiveness of this type of equipment is better analyzed by the speed of filling the garbage container.Therefore, I think the functionality of the device is quite adequate.
Hoover Freedom Personal Opinion
Summing up the review of the Hoover Freedom vacuum cleaner, I want to say that the stick vacuum cleaner is a rather convenient and useful device in the home of every user. The absence of wires makes it very maneuverable and easy to transport around the rooms. At the same time, the 2 in 1 model has an extremely extensive scope: from narrow gaps between furniture to the passenger compartment. A remarkable bonus from the American manufacturer is the number of nozzles thought out to the smallest detail. I especially liked the nozzle for cleaning animals, because my girlfriend is already tired of cleaning the coat throughout the apartment, not to mention the clothes.
Conclusion
For these reasons, I believe that this cordless vacuum cleaner has a good price / quality ratio and fully complies with the specifications declared by the developers. Thus, I can highlight the following pros and cons.
- excellent equipment;
- convenient, easy handle;
- good maneuverability;
- capacious battery;
