Hoover Regal 9001PH Potentially Lethal Electrical Shock from faulty product and no support from Hoover – Please be aware the metal wand on these vacuums is not grounded to earth. My daughter's vacuum had a manufacturing fault where the 240 volt wiring… Read more

that passes through the wand to power the head was pinched between the plastic end cap and the metal wand. The sharp edge of the metal wand penetrated the insulation on the wiring causing the wand to become live. My daughter received a nasty electrical shock that could easily have been fatal.

Hoover would not provide support as the vacuum was bought from Godfreys who had gone into “receivership”. My daughter bought the vacuum specifically because it was branded Hoover and had the reasonable expectation it was a genuine Hoover product backed by Hoover.

Unfortunately I do not know if the sale of this product constitutes deceptive advertising and sales practices, I can only say that my daughter felt deceived by the use of the Hoover name and the Hoover trademark on a product that is not supported by Hoover.

I am frankly appalled and deeply concerned for the safety of other users of this product. It is very disappointing to have to write this review for a brand I had previously regarded as iconic and whose strong reputation, built over many decades, appears to have been sadly eroded.

I did approach the Godfreys receivers (PWC) with this issue, alas to no avail. I have also raised the issue with Choice ACA who recommended the vacuum in their 2023 review and notified the ACCC of my concerns regarding this product.

This vacuum is labelled as "double insulated" and has no earth pin on its power plug, however the vacuum wand tube is metal and has a label warning "Danger Live Parts Within". With no earth pin on the power plug it is not possible for the metal wand to be connected to ground. It is concerning that an exposed metal tube containing live components is part of a product labelled "double insulated". Usually exposed metal parts on mains connected appliances are firmly connected to ground to avoid the possibility of becoming live should a wire come loose or other fault occur.

Disappointing – Bought this vac to use on couches for cat hair but found it bot very good on picking it up. Went away for 2 months and switched it off and when we returned it would not charge up so absolutely dead in the water. Would not buy another Show details

I purchased this vac 2 months ago. When I got it home I fully charged the battery and timed the "running time" of the vac on "hard floor" mode. The… Read more

item ran for 14.02 minutes. After 2 months of use I retested the running time of the vac , also on "hard floor" mode. I believe this is the vacs least "power hungry mode. The item ran for 14.03 mins. Now given that it's stated both in the specs, and on the box that the vac came in, that the vac's running time is "up to 35 minutes of run time", why I am I only getting around 40% of the claimed run time? I have considered buying a second battery for the vac, but the cost of this was $149. I do not recommend this product

Hoover Turbo Power Pets -Unbeatable value – This is the second time I have purchased this vaccum cleaner. The first one I accidently sucked up water (quite a lot) from a through hole on a… Read more

boat. After drying the machine out it still worked but only on full power but I was amazed that it worked at all and eternally greatful that it didn't kill me during the water incident. It continued to work for 2 years after that event. I have recently purchased a new one seeing the previous one was almost indestructible and have not regretted the purchase. It has powerful suction as the name would suggest but also allows you to reduce the power level for vacuuming curtains and upholstery. Has the standard tools, including a turbo brush for pet hair (very effective) plus 2 filters: a removable pre motor filter and an exhaust filter, both can be removed easily and washed by hand. The bags are an ongoing cost but I find bagged units less dusty to dispose of than emptying a non bagged unit and much prefer them for that reason alone. Pros: very robust and reliabe, has multiple filters, has a turbo head for pet hair, can adjust the power mode, uses bags. Con: ongoing cost of bags.

This vac performed reasonably well on both hard flooring and carpet. Suction is adequate and I found battery life to be quite good with the 4ah… Read more

battery. Power head was good and operation in general was pleasant enough to use. Nothing great but good enough for what you could expect at this price. Came with some useful attachments also. Now to my dislikes.

If you find satisfaction in items built well then this vac isn't for you. Plastic mouldings are very average with poorly joining parts and what I can only describe as a very cheap feel in the hand. All attachments are of very poor quality with the feel of a cheap toy you'd get in a show bag that you wouldn't expect to last the trip home. Visually it looks good in online videos but once I unboxed it I felt the need to advise my wife that it's clearly a poorly built product and to be gentle with it.

Its ok for a quick clean up but longer than then a few mins I found it to be to top heavy and uncomfortable to hold.

I bought this vac as I had previously owned the evolve which failed in within 12 months so already had a compatable battery so could use both for longer run times with the emerge.

On the second day we owned this vac the power head completely failed. I wasn't at all surprised was only too happy to return the Hoover to replace it with another brand.

I should add that my first cordless vac was a Bosch that I loved and lasted 4 years of heavy use only to be replaced by the Hoover emerge after the battery was worn out. The emerge was ok but also felt poorly built and would block up if you even thought about using it, when that failed I bought the evolve with the delusion that it would be good enough for the inbetween clean with our corded vac with the added benefit of having a second battery. Went back to Bosch for a cordless and have been very happy.

Last December I bought a robot vacuum cleaner that did a fantastic job but sadly for only one week. It couldn’t be repaired therefore I got a full… Read more

refund. I decided this time to buy a stick vac. Using the famous “D” brand as a reference I tried several well-known brands and was not impressed. Finally I came to this product and apart from the price, I liked the size of the motorised head and above all that the battery is not inbuilt but detachable similar to those used in power tools. The floor head is motorised, the rollers are easily removed for cleaning them and has a bright LED light. I can vacuum the ground floor of the house that has carpets, hard wooden and tile floors, in about 30-35 minutes. Using the default power setting it ends up with one bar of charge of the 4Ah battery. Note: At $149 a spare battery is double the price of an equivalent battery for a power tool. This is unacceptable.
