The Mirror readers can get more than half off the Hoover HF9 that shoppers say is the 'best they've ever had' and 'better than a Dyson or Shark'.
Hoover is back with another spring clean deal that cuts £140 off one of its flagship vacuum cleaners to more than half price. The brand's HF9 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner With Anti Hair Wrap can now be reduced from £249 to £109 with the discount code POWERFUL.
This marks a 56% discount from the original price and a £60 saving compared to Amazon 's asking price (£169) and Shark's rival Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum (£169). Hoover touts its HF9 as the 'ultimate home cleaning appliance', claiming it has 'double the suction power' compared to some rival brands.
It's designed to tackle both carpet and hard floors, with its brush bar able to adapt to different surfaces thanks to its Hard Floor and Carpet modes. This makes the brush bar spin slower on delicate surfaces and faster on carpet to remove deeply embedded dirt, while the extra-powerful Turbo Boost setting delivers up to 12 minutes of stronger suction.
The vacuum's long-lasting battery can run for 30 minutes continuously – enough to clean 120sqm – without losing suction and takes 3.5 hours to fully charge. Hoover is rivalling Shark's anti hair wrap and Dyson 's de-tangling with its own 'Anti-Twist' technology, which automatically removes hair from the brush bar as it cleans.
The lightweight vacuum can also be easily converted to a handheld device, allowing easy cleaning of stairs, sofas or car interiors. Other standout features include LED lights in the brush head to illuminate any hard-to-see dirt, the freestanding 'Park and Go' feature and a five-year warranty on purchases made direct from Hoover.
The deal is £140 cheaper than Dyson's 4.4-star rated V8 Advanced (£249.99) – said to be the 'most powerful V8 ever' – but this model boasts a slightly longer 40-minute run time. But the Hoover HF9 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner With Anti Hair Wrap boasts a higher 4.6-star rating from 830 reviews – 766 of which are four or five stars.
One satisfied shopper said: 'Best Hoover I've ever had. Great suction, better than a Dyson or Shark. I have just bought one for my mother, and my sister received hers today, we all love it.'
Another said: 'I cannot fault this. The design and quality of material is excellent compared to my Miele which cost twice as much. I especially like its height and anti hair wrap. Plus, it stands up alone between uses and whilst charging. Its suction is brilliant, easily switching between hard floors and carpet and its accessories are quality – really good on the sofas.'
A third thrilled buyer said: 'Absolutely brilliant Hoover, picks up dog hair and the tiniest bit of fluff. It is reasonably quiet and doesn't scare my dogs like my last vacuum and the price was exceptional.'
It may not suit everyone though, as some users have found the Hoover HF9 – which weighs 3.4kg – too heavy. This less-impressed reviewer said: 'Looks great, functions as described but too heavy for me to be lifting up stairs.'
However, others have hailed the Hoover as 'lightweight', 'easy to use' and 'efficient', while this five-star review said: 'Love my new Hoover, it's lighter, more powerful and more manoeuvrable than my old one. Also has a battery timer and light and stands up on its own. I have been hoovering more often than I used to as it's so easy to carry around the house.'
