Verdict

The Hoover H-FREE 100 PETS (HF122RPT) is a 2-in-1 cordless stick and handheld vacuum cleaner weighing 2.5 kg, powered by a removable 22V lithium-ion battery that delivers a 170W power output. It stands out with an exceptionally large 0.9L bagless dust capacity, a continuous power mode trigger lock, front LED nozzle lights, and a specialized motorized mini turbo brush designed for pet hair removal. Main pros include its lightweight maneuverability, generous bin capacity that reduces emptying frequency, on-board tool storage, and a versatile runtime of up to 25 minutes in standard mode (or up to 40 minutes depending on configuration). However, its notable cons include a long battery charging time of approximately 5 to 6 hours, a noisy 84 dB operating volume, and a significantly reduced battery life of only 18 minutes when using turbo mode.
