Verdict

The Hoover H-FREE 800 HF822OF 011 is a 22V cordless, bagless stick vacuum cleaner weighing 2.74 kg, equipped with a brushless inverter motor, an LED control panel, a 0.7-litre dust bin, and integrated Wi-Fi connectivity via the Hoover Wizard app. Main pros include a versatile 3-in-1 convertible design with an extensive 180-degree rotating accessory kit for home and car cleaning, фронт LED nozzle lights for better visibility, and constant suction performance using H-Spin Core+ separation technology. However, main cons include a relatively limited 35-minute maximum battery runtime that requires a long 5-hour recharge cycle, alongside a floor nozzle that lacks anti-hair wrap technology, requiring manual removal of tangled hair.
