Used it a few times and it works well. The one thing that's handy is that there's a button you press, so you don't need to keep the main button pressed all the time, which is likely to give you cramp or worse. I believe the Dysons don't have this. From reviews I read that the battery works about twice as long as the Dysons too. Not that relevant though as I typically only use this for 5 minutes tops at a time, more often than not for less than 1 minute. I guess the good thing is that you only have to plug it in maybe once a week or so.

Guys - do you know if its ok to leave the battery on charge and not unplug it once its fully charged ?

I bought one of these from an Ebay seller, total including shipping was £96/€110: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hoover-FD22G-Freedom-22v-Cordless-Bagless-2in1-Upright-Stick-Vacuum-Cleaner-/381793637272?hash=item58e4ac9398. Refurbished but in perfect condition, delivered by courier in 3 days. SWMBO has been very impressed so far, should have got one years ago. Battery life is very good, not as powerful as a normal mains unit but good enough for everyday clean-ups and dog hairs.

I used it to clean the car over the weekend, which I haven't hoovered in a very long time and it came through with flying colours. Battery lasted the duration and it picked up everything. I was also able to run it over the high traffic areas of the house without any range anxiety from the battery, it might not be quite as powerful a regular vacuum cleaner (and even that might be debateable), but it certainly picks up plenty of fluff, hair, bird seed, etc., without a cable to trail after you and in a much lighter package.

Just an FYI for anyone who bought/is buying one, and because I noticed it myself and it is mentioned in a few of the Amazon reviews, it is possible to remove the dust cylinder to clean the upper part of it, rather than stick a knife or similar into it to scoop the dirt out. The release button is on the base of the device between the battery and the cylinder itself.

This went back down to Â£99 this morning so I bought one.

The Hoover was delivered yesterday which was a day or two ahead of the expected time.

Unboxed , it is lightweight , powerful enough and very easy to understand. It has a trigger for spot work and a lever if you want it set to ''always on.''

The battery clips out just like a power tool.

The attachments and filter clip out very easily likewise.

You dont' have to disassemble it to empty the container. A flap on the base can be easily opened to allow the dirt to simply fall out.

I'm going to enjoy keeping my car really clean from now on too with no awkward cables.

The battery hasnt been tested yet but it's a LI and I've had nothing but good experiences with those . Plus it swaps out so easily, I think its easy to send back to Hoover or to replace/repair at one of those battery world type small businesses.

Careful with AddressPal!

According to amazon the product dimensions are 111 x 27 x 23 cm, which means it's an oversized parcel costing you €25.00!

Oversized Items
The standard AddressPal cost is €3.50

Weight: Not Exceeding 20kg

Dimensions Not Exceeding 72cm X 31cm X 25cm

Where an item exceeds the maximum dimensions of 72cm X 31cm X 25cm, you will be contacted by An Post by phone. The item will be made available in your local Delivery Service Unit and the cost for delivery will be €25.00.

Good spot. I hadnt know that. I normally use parcel wizard for large packages but this ebayer doesn't deliver to Northern Ireland so I thought AddressPal would work just as well

conormc1984 · 30-01-2017 11:34AM

Has anyone got it delivered with parcel motel. If so how much did it cost. Thanks.

I'd say just wait for amazon to go back down to £99, and get free delivery to Ireland. As it is bulky.

It was down to 129euro with DID last week. So may be worth keeping an eye out if there are sales in bricks and mortar shops as well. Avoids any hassle with deliveries

whowantstwoknow · 30-01-2017 01:45PM

mine arrived, does the job, but anybody else find it hard to find a location to hang this up with the length of the power cable? Also would have been nice it they spent a few more bob on mount so that when you hang it up, its connect to the power directly.

aside from that it should be a nice addition..

Thanks

I got mine delivered from Debenhams uk to addresspal. Cost the standard 3.50 but the box had 20 written on it in red marker - Assume it was supposed to be 20 quid .....

Theres a perfect spot for it in my big bedroom. Right at the door and with the socket right next to it. So I cant complain. I leave the charger plugged in and the power cable resting on top. Very happy with this product so far.

My local Tesco had this model on clearance yesterday (Hoover Freedom FD22G stick cordless vaccum cleaner).

Got it for 52.15 euro.

Not sure if this is nationwide.

(Also the same Hoover product as a handheld (without the stick part) was around 30 euro).

Mine stopped working after a few minutes (even though it had charged overnight). Red and blue lights flashing together. Manufacturers website says to reset the battery (take it out and stick it back in). Quick fix, works again for a few minutes but then same happens again

Glad I bought from Amazon. They're sending out a courier to pick up the old one here in Dublin and they've already processed the order for a new a new one. Completely free of charge. Even though I had the item delivered to my Parcel Motel UK address. Some customer service.

Tesco Clearwater Finglas had it for something like 360 Euro and change.

I remember staring in disbelief at the audacity of that price.

That was me, bought it last week for £99 incl. shipping. It was £99 on Tesco direct too (plus shipping and parcel motel to get it here, but is no longer available. Cheapest in the UK now seems to be Amazon at £124 or a few bricks and mortar shops here in Ireland like DID for €149 (half the recommended retail price)

I did a good bit of research and this one gets good reviews. More than one owner who claimed to own both this and a similar Dyson said this one is better (they have the same power) and the battery lasts longer

Amazon link with the reviews:

Linky

This is back down to £110 new on Amazon at the moment.

AnneRyan · 26-02-2017 12:26PM

Hoover Freedom is great, no drilling walls for the charger is the best thing. I have a Dyson Animal downstairs and Hoover Freedom upstairs. Dyson has better build quality but otherwise both are brilliant. Picked it up in DID for €99 in January, Dyson €349 in Power city.

Masala · 04-03-2017 10:10PM

If u still interested... Pop to your local Tesco as these now down to €119

sheepy01 · 05-03-2017 01:32PM

After some research I did on these type of hoovers, I ended with the conlusion that only the Dyson ones are reliable... that might justify their pricing

youcancallmeal · 14-03-2017 05:01PM

I read somewhere you shouldn't use vacuums with rotary brush heads like the Hoover has on laminate flooring because it might damage it. Anyone use it on laminate flooring and notice any issues?
