Verdict

The Hoover H-FREE 500 PETS HF522UPT is a 22V cordless stick vacuum cleaner designed with a brushless motor delivering 75 air watts of suction power and a 0.45-liter bagless dust bin. Main characteristics include an ultra-lightweight design weighing just 2.2 kg (1.7 kg in handheld mode) and an exceptionally compact storage system that compresses its height down to 69 cm. Key pros include an agile Flat&Drive floor nozzle equipped with front LED lights, a dedicated motorized mini turbo pet brush for embedded hair, and a removable lithium-ion battery providing up to a 40-minute runtime. However, prominent cons include a lengthy 6-hour charging time, a relatively small dustbin capacity requiring frequent emptying, and suction that drops off significantly outside of its brief 8-minute turbo boost mode.
