Great cleaner

published

Great cleaner for the price. Got this cleaner for my sister as her other cleaners werent picking up the dog & cat hair. Love the powerhead, the suction is fantastic. Also love the attachment for the furniture as we can now sit on the couch without being covered in hair. Love the fact its got a bag as you then dont have dust going everywhere when you empty the vacuum.

Very good product

published

We are very happy with this product, it has additional motor for suction and it does a very good job. We got it from godfreys for $320, but found it cheaper in costco's.

Overall we are happy with the production and only minus is we should clean the drum quite often and hair structs.

Great Hoover BUT .......

published

We were impressed with the demo for this Hoover and bought it there and then, had it a couple of months now and though it does a great job the drum is a massive pain to use if it can get caught any where it will it tips way too easily and chips the walls whenever it hits them, basically because of that we wouldn't buy another hoover with a drum an upright is a far better option and way less hassle.

Easy to use

published

Love this vacuum cleaner.It glides over the carpet making it easy to push.The turbo head is great and picks up a lot of dirt.The bags are cheap to buy which is a bonus.I love the fact all parts are solidly made and not with a flimsy plastic.Having adjustable suction for rugs and curtains is a great.

Carpet clesning is brilliant BUT..

published

Pros..Carpets never felt so clean...the power head gets up every little dog hair...love it. Very quiet and the bags hold heaps...
Cons...the hard floor head is a disappointment, only has brushes on one side, the other side is a rubber strip...luckily the head of my previous vac fits so i use that for hard floors.
The cord could be longer and it does topple over easily...
Every time i hear something rattle up the pipe i worry that it might damage the wiring, only time will tell.
All in all, i am pretty happy with it thus far...the power head makes it a real winner if you have pets.

A great vacuum

published

Love this vacuum. It has strong suction but is adjustable for doing rugs and curtains etc.
The action turbo head is amazing on carpets and gives a really thorough clean.

I wish it had a longer cord, but other than that it has been perfect on my carpet and Lino floors.

Decent VC

published

I had a Dyson before but when it quit I decided I didn't want to spend that much again. The Hoover does a great job - probably as good as the Dyson in suction power. The power cord is a little shorter and so is the hand held hose which makes reaching some places more difficult. It's also a little difficult to get all the debris out of the bagless container. We have dogs so there's a fair amount of dog hair. I usually have to completely disassemble the container to empty it instead of the one button release as advertised. But overall, for the money I think it is a good product.

Worst Handling Vac Ever !!!

published

Performance of cleaning / suction power is good.
Worst manoeuvrability EVER.
This Vac gets stuck on it own cord, wont go over cord.wheels too small, falls on its side at the slightest change in direction (away from straight line).
Given this company has been around for such a long time.... This is a disaster in "handling / ease of use"
Most frustrating Vac ever..

Best vacuum I have ever used.

published

I purchased this recently, and by far its the best vacuum I ever had. I have a big shout out to the Staff at Godfreys Clayton who sold me it. They told me it would do a great job on my grandmother's carpets and it does!. She has really bad asthma and the number of fine particles that came into the diverter was astounding. Considering I spent an hour Vacuuming the floors just the other day it really makes you realise how much junk we have been breathing in.

Can't live without it

published

Our Hoover was the first 'good' vacuum we had bought. Until now, we were using old hand-me-down vaccums while in share houses/away at Uni. We were happy with the price and the main focus for us was being able to pick up all the animal hair we have at our place. The Hoover does a good job of this and we use it daily. The bags aren't too pricey to keep replacing and it even offers a function of adding a 'bagless' barrel to the handstick in the future which we thought we might invest in down the track. We have had an issue with the belt however it was covered under the manufacturers warranty and we had no issues once it was returned to us fixed.

Good for Carpet

published

I went to purchase a vacuum with a price of $200-300 in mind at Godfreys. The Sales Person showed and demonstrated the vacuum on carpet with dummy mites and I was amazed the difference in performance. Hoover extracted the dust even after vacuuming with other vacuum.
I understood that it has Level-3 of base (a bit heavy, but must for carpet). The level-3 has a rotating brush at the head and vibrates so that hairs and dust at the base of carpet are extracted.
Really an innovative idea.
I am happy with it and would have given Five Start but not giving as Level-3 Head is a bit heavy but must and I purchased it in $400 plus, which I think is a bit expensive as such a technology should be generally available and at cheaper price.

Great sucton power on carpets

published

Very happy with suction power, especially on carpets. Gets right down to the bottom of the pile when the powerhead is turned on.

Maneuverability could be improved as it feels a little clunky and hard to get into small spaces, but its performance makes up for this.

Great for our small townhouse, and does a good job on the tiles too.

Brilliant

published

I have recently purchased the Hoover Action Pet vacuum and I couldn't be happier. It has brilliant suction with different vacuum heads for hard floors and lounges which is ideal for us as our cat sometimes sleeps on the lounge. Not only is it light weight and easy to maneuver around it is also quiet. We have hard floors and carpet so this vacuum is ideal. I highly recommend the Hoover Action Pet Vacuum.

Happy wife Happy life

published

I have 2 dogs that shed a lot of hair. I have a couple of other vacuums with turbo heads, but nothing really picked up the majority of the hair without a bit of elbow grease involved. I got this Hoover July 2016 and I have never looked back. The power head is brilliant & requires little effort. We were amazed at the results on our carpet & lino flooring. Would highly recommend to anyone with pets.

Great for pet hair

published

We have four dogs(short haired) and the electric power head is excellent at picking up the dog fur with minimal effort from me physically!
It is nice and quiet too though I do use it with an extension cord as its cord is not super long.
Very happy so far.

Questions & Answers

Australyve

Australyveasked

My three-year old Hoover Action Pets broke at the level of the white plastic circle on top of the main unit, into which you fit the end of the hose. I see bits of white plastic and a loose screw. The white plastic circle is loose now. It looks like the plastic got brittle and snapped at the screw. After only 3 years, that's disappointing. Any idea if it's fixable?

Hello,
We would recommend to have the machine booked in through your nearest Godfreys store for further inspection just to make sure there are no faults with the machine.

How do you remove the plastic mesh panel on top so that you can replace the black foam filter underneath (that sits above the exhaust filter)? Have been trying to prise it off with a screwdriver, but half of it won't budge.

Looking for vacuum efficient picking up long hair on carpets. Tired of wasting money on vacuums that don't work

Hi Rhonda, I would say this vacuum definitely works on human hair and let hair (I have a long hair cat with lots of fine hair), the only thing is human hair will get caught around the brush motor head part, but most vacuum with a motorised brush will have this issue too
