The Duronic VC7020 provides surprisingly strong suction for an inexpensive vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning Performance Rating: 2.9/5.The Hoover H-Handy 700 Express generates decent suction power, but during our testing it couldn’t match the best handheld vacuums (such as the pricier.

Dyson V7 Trigger.The H-Handy 700 Express can also be a little noisy, but as it’s only used in short bursts this is bearable.. We found it useful for picking up larger debris, as it works best when the nozzle doesn’t have direct contact with the surface.For example, if you have kids who often spill crumbs or cereal in the kitchen, then it could be a handy addition to your cleaning toolkit.. It’s less effective for smaller particles though.

The lack of an agitating brush bar also meant it provided poor performance when cleaning pet hair, so we don’t recommend it for people with dogs or cats.. Keep in mind that the small dust canister fills up very quickly, especially when sucking up larger debris such as cereal.So, even though it’s powerful enough to clear up your Cheerios, you’ll need to empty it a few times to pick up a whole bowl.. Around the Home.

If you need a vacuum that functions similarly to an electric dustpan and brush, then we think the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express can be a useful tool.

During our tests, it didn’t provide enough suction or cleaning power for tough jobs, but was useful for quick spot cleans.. We also found that the combi-tool accessory makes the Hoover H-Handy 700 Express versatile enough to tackle a range of surfaces around the home.They call this “anti-hair wrap”, and it’s available on most of Shark’s newer vacuum cleaners..

The system is similar to Dyson’s, although it works in a slightly different way.There’s still a comb, but this removes hair from the brush bar rather than migrating it towards the entrance of the floorhead.. Shark is quite tight-lipped about how their comb actually removes hair.

It seems that the comb separates both long and short hair, before removing it from the brush bar so it can enter the bin..In our experience, the Shark system does a decent job, but it doesn’t prevent all hair from getting caught around the brush.
