Filtamagic Compatible Hoover Genuine Blaze, Breeze Evo Series bagless Upright Type U71 Filter kit

Product Information

The different height settings do come in useful for carpets. Increasing the height reduces the brush bar depth, but also makes the vacuum easier to push around, so it takes some time to find the right setup. Includes non-motorised accessories with onboard storage (including a dusting brush and upholstery tool) There’s a wide range of tools included with this Hoover. Along with the pet tool, there’s also Hoover’s longest crevice tool, a 2-in-1 dusting brush and furniture nozzle, and an extension tube.

The Hoover Breeze Evo TH31 BO02 001 is a bagless vacuum cleaner that measures 310mm in depth, 1090mm in height, and 320mm in width. It weighs 5200g without accessories, has a 7m cord length and a 4.5m hose length. The vacuum cleaner has an annual energy consumption of 22kWh and a noise level of 80dB. The Hoover Breeze Evo is intuitive to use for floor cleaning. There are two foot pedals, one to recline the vacuum and another to switch it on, making it convenient to use. We also like that the Breeze has a rotary dial to adjust the height of the brush bar, allowing you to clean different surfaces with relative ease. The tool and hose setup also poses problems for everyday use. They’re bulky to store on the vacuum, often fall off, and it’s a fiddly process to change them around when needed.

There’s also a generous 3 litre dirt capacity that comes in handy for longer cleaning sessions. The Shark AZ910UKT, which is another pet model, only has a 0.99 litre tank. And the more expensive Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach is still smaller at 1.5 litres. Also, while the longer hose gives more reach, the suction power is reduced compared with the short hose or floorhead. Carpets We think the Hoover Breeze is a decent upright vacuum for the price, but only if you can overlook some significant flaws. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets has an extra mini motorised pet hair attachment, along with all the other accessories. This tool adds more versatility, as it allows deep cleaning on more surfaces. For a budget vac, we think the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets performs pretty well – as long as your expectations are realistic. It doesn’t have the same suction power as a premium cleaner, but it’s still decent for the price. Just expect to do a few extra sweeps to completely clean a floor.

One of the features of this vacuum cleaner is its easy-to-empty container, which allows for seamless dust disposal. It also comes with a crevice tool, but does not have a dusting brush nor a soft grip. The dust container does not have an indicator for when full. As you’d expect for a vacuum in this price range, it doesn’t use HEPA filters. These are the gold standard for filters as they catch 99.97% of microparticles, like pollen and bacteria. When it’s full, there’s one button to remove the canister from the vacuum, so you can hold it inside a bag to minimise how much dust escapes. Then there’s another button to open the flap and empty it. But the hose and tool setup is a flawed design that we can’t overlook. While it’s useful to have two different hoses, it’s frustrating to unclip them, swap them over, and then add your tool each time you want to use it.

Where to Find your Model Number

The floorhead on the Hoover Breeze Evo provides strong performance for such an affordable cleaner. It looks basic and clunky, and there aren’t any headlights, but it’s effective for floor cleaning. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets is better at cleaning light dirt and dust than larger debris on carpets. You have to lift the vac off the floor and place it directly on top of bigger bits. Otherwise, the floorhead just pushes them around. When it’s time to use the tools, changing the hoses and tools over is a fiddly job. You need to disconnect and reconnect hoses and attachments each time. This is our main gripe with the cleaning performance of the Breeze Evo, especially as the main floorhead doesn’t manage edges too well, so you’ll need to use tools frequently.
