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

Product Information

It’s a basic system, as you would expect from a budget vacuum, and it works well on loose dirt and dust. But there’s no collar system to push out clumps of hair or other debris, so you’ll sometimes need to pull these out by hand. 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. 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. Can this budget cleaner really handle daily dirt and pet hair though? And is it worth forking out for the upgraded “Pet” version in comparison to the regular Breeze Evo? Read our in-depth Hoover Breeze Evo Pets review to find out. Overview of the Hoover Breeze Evo Pet’s Features

Overall, we think the Hoover Breeze Evo provides value for money if you want a basic vacuum. But if you can stretch the budget a tiny bit further, opt for the Pet model to get the turbo tool. Even if you don’t have pets, it’s still a very useful gadget to have in your cleaning arsenal. Comparison With Other Vacuums Hoover Breeze Evo vs Hoover Breeze Evo Pets The height selector is a useful feature, but it takes some experimentation to get right. This setting only affects the height of the brush roll, rather than power or speed, but it still changes the vacuum’s performance. If the brush roll is too high, for example, the cleaning performance suffers. Too low, and it’s hard to push around. The rotating brush bar, with its variable height settings, is a good feature that makes this vacuum more versatile. It comes with a few helpful accessories, too. It’s not all bad news though. At 6.4kg, it’s a fairly average weight for an upright and is around the same as the 6.5kg of the Shark NZ801UKT. While it’s heavier than some models, the weight is well-balanced and it feels light to push around.

As the two Breeze Evo vacuums are almost identical in design, however, we’re not surprised they have similar issues. One of those is the crowded appearance, which is even worse on the Breeze Evo Pets due to the extra tool. While there is onboard storage, it’s often easier to just store the attachment elsewhere.

The fixed steering position of the floorhead will appeal to those who dislike balancing a swivel system. But it does make it harder to navigate the Breeze Evo around a furnished home. Especially as it’s quite a short and bulky floorhead, so it’s not ideal for getting under furniture or into tight spaces. Other Tools and AccessoriesConsidering buying the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets?

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 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. We think the Hoover Breeze is a decent upright vacuum for the price, but only if you can overlook some significant flaws. Stairs are a strong point for the Hoover Breeze Evo Pets, as the stretch hose is long enough to cover a whole flight in one go. Just make sure it’s at the bottom of the stairs, as the hose can topple the vacuum over if stretched too far. 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.When you fill the 3 litre capacity, emptying the bagless dirt canister is a straightforward process. Firstly, the belt on the floorhead is prone to snapping or falling off, so it requires some upkeep. As do the filters, which need regular cleaning to prevent clogs. 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. Additionally, the onboard storage feels more hassle than it’s worth. The accessories fall off easily, especially the extension pipe. The long hose is also a nightmare, as it flaps around or slips off altogether. You might want to store it elsewhere and grab it when required. Filtration Not sure whether to buy the Hoover Breeze Evo? Here’s our review of this popular budget vacuum cleaner.

The Hoover Breeze Evo uses standard washable filters. They’re effective enough at retaining dust and dirt, but they tend to clog fairly easily and need regular maintenance to maintain suction. The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets has a 350W motor. This is considerably less than most upright vacuums, which tend to have motors in the 700-900W range. However, it can still generate relatively strong suction power. Are The Filters Washable? In our opinion, the main downfall to this Hoover is edge cleaning. The bulky floorhead isn’t quite capable of getting larger debris from the edges of skirting boards and furniture. It leaves a wall of mess, which then means you have to go through the hassle of swapping hoses and attachments over to clean the last bits. At 6.4kg, the Hoover Breeze Evo also isn’t the lightest upright vacuum. For example, the Shark NV702UK is a lighter 5.2kg, and the Hoover H-Upright 500 Reach is a bit less at 6.1kg.The Hoover Breeze Evo Pets has a basic floorhead with a motorised brush bar for deeper cleaning. There aren’t any headlights or advanced features, but it does a decent job on most floor types. You can also raise or lower the brush roll depending on the floor type. The lowest setting is great for deep cleaning carpets, while raising the brush off the floor makes it suitable for delicate surfaces. It’s a simple process to change the height by twisting the rotary dial on the floorhead. Hoover has also included five height settings for the brush roll to suit different floors. On hard floors, for example, you can raise the brush to protect the surface and avoid sending debris scattering across the floor. These settings are adjusted using a simple rotary dial – there are no foot controls like on some pricier vacuums.
