Hoover Dog & Cat 5016

It’s two faced, but it sucks good – Had mine for a couple years now, still going well. It is however most ugly vacuum I’ve ever owned… Every time I look at it I’m disturbed with the two buttons that look like eyes. If you look at it one way, you have Cheech and the other way round, there is Chong with his long face. It does the job of picking up my dogs hair without too much hassle. I’m the issue with my long human hair tying up the rollers. Show details

Do not buy! – Got this vacuum 6 months ago and within 3 weeks we lost suction, we got it fixed and now the engine sounds like it's misfiring and there's a burning smell. We won't buy a hoover again. Show details

You get what you pay for! – Good suction for the first 3 months! Then couldn’t suck the froth from a beer. Oh well, my bad…you get what you pay for! Obviously Hoover are not producing vacuums like they used to. Don’t waste your money. Show details

If this can pick up cat litter on an old part-shaggy carpet, it can pick up anything (including pet hair) – Finding a vacuum that would pick up pet litter on my old carpet seemed impossible. I thought the only one that could do the job was one that the professionals use which would have been clearly out of my reach financially. Then, I heard about the Hoover Dog & Cat Turbo Bagless T4008. It has 1800W & comes with accessories. I had never had a… Read more

bagless vacuum before. Something I really like about it is that you can see what you've picked up without having to dump the dirt out of a bag, in case it sucked up something you might have lost. It's not the greatest colour (gray with touches of orange) but who cares, it worked. I was gobsmacked! This beaut little maching actually picked up every piece of kitty litter in one swoop just like the ones professionals use. I didn't even have to go over & over the carpet. It also does a great job of picking up cat fur. The orange round piece on the top is to turn whatever speed you want. The speed isn't marked as slow, medium or fast. It's a smooth turn that puts the user in control. It lets you decide whatever speed is comfortable for you. Of course, the higher the speed the noisier it becomes. I actually like vacuuming now. I have seen this vacuum listed at over $200, but as of this writing (16-8-2019) Godfreys is selling it for $139. Amazon AU; MyDeal; & Catch are each selling it for a very cheap $98. If this vacuum can pick up all the pieces of cat litter on my very old part-shaggy carpet, it can pick up anything. With the Father's Day sales on now, don't let this little gem pass through your fingers. I think the Hoover Dog & Cat Turbo is fantastic!

Great machine at a great price – So I would be nitpicking to say that there really is anything wrong with this washing machine. Having said that I am also used to having cheap vacuum cleaners from Kmart and target which seem to last a while but their attachments and accessories seem to be made out of chalk and they just break so easy. Targets latest vacuum has a spelling mistake… Read more

on it so I definitely could not buy that because the fact that target think that suction power is spelt “suncoin Power” and have put it above the power selector would do my OCD in big time. And for a vacuum from Kmart with a turbo brush was going to cost me the same price as this Hoover so naturally I thought it would probably best that I go to the Hover. Now I read the reviews from the Godfrey site in regards to this vacuum cleaner and most people were complaining about the length of power cord. This is about the only thing that I personally could complain about. For the power of the machine I was so impressed by the suction, or in Targets language,”Suncoin”. I thought that the first time I used it would be in my couch, that used to get vacuumed every second day and I could not believe how much dust and yuck was trapped in the waste bin. It honestly looks like this couch had never been a clean and a day in its life it wasn't just that they was dust in there there was actually like clumps of what I would only assume is dust and dead skin cells. I've only had this machine for about a month having said that I vacuumed every day because I bleach my floors every day I also vacuum the couch every second day and I vacuum the mattresses once a week when they get the new linen put on them so it gets used a fair bit. It's filter set up is not the best but it does filter quite well. I guess for the price it's just a new vacuum with old technology. All the tools that come with it are of good quality and seem to be quite sturdy. The clear cover of the turbo brush comes off so you can actually get around the brush to get any hair or rubbish out that you need to and to me this seems like such a great idea as I have seen other expensive brand names that don't have the same removable cover. It's easy to empty and wheels around easy. It's not heavy yet feels quite strong. I'm very happy about it. If I could I would give it a 4.5 star rating just based on the short power cord but I have to drop it to a 4 as I can't give it that extra half that I think it deserves.

Total rating (more stars being ideal)

Weight: 5/5 - more stars means lighter

Suction: 5/5 (Suncoin)

Quality: 5/5

Ease of use: 5/5

Noise: 4.5/5

Power cord: 3.5/5

Best vacuum ever, 3 cats and I have thick carpet – I use this with the rotating head on carpet and omgsh it is FABULOUS! I've had mine for about 3 years with zero issues. Strong suction, and the nob can be adjusted for less suction. I wash the little grey spongey filter thing every few uses with mild detergent until the water comes out clean, letting it air dry near an open window. I suggest this… Read more ·  1

to anyone who asks, and will buy it over and over again, if it decided to break one day! I'm waiting for hoover to make a backpack version :P I have 3 cats so lots of hair!

Perfect! Couldn’t fault it if I tried! – This vacuum has been used on carpets, floorboards and Lino and each time exceeded expectations. I was actually grossed out by the amount of dust and pet hair it picked up! Perfect for 2 dogs and 3 toddlers! Show details ·  1

Best corded vacuum we've ever had. So we bought another – Best corded vacuum we've ever had. So we bought another. First purchase was 6 years ago and still running. accessories were starting to show wear and hose was stretched so it's been demoted to garage and car duties only. We purchased a 2nd unit 2 years ago when on sale not expecting it to last this long. Picks up everything imagineable Show details ·  1

Hoover Cat & Dog Turbo is terrible – In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was punished by Hades and condemned, for all eternity, to force a rock up to the top of a mountain every day only to have it roll back down to the bottom every time it neared the top. Whenever I use my Hoover Cat & Dog Turbo I am reminded of Sisyphus because I too feel as if I have been condemned by the God of the… Read more

underworld to complete a laborious and futile task until the end of time.

Absolutely terrible product. 1 out of 5 stars, and it only even gets that because you can’t leave zero.

I hate this vacuum, it is a waste of $$$ – Absolutely and honestly the worst vacuum that I have ever brought. Worked as expected for about 3 months and slowly but surely lost it's suction. It makes all the right noises as usual and I replaced the filter pack , but now I look at it and say " never buy a vacuum from Godfreys again. Totally frustrating for a user that really likes to vacuum -… Read more

but not with this waste of time and effort Dog & Cat vacuum. Hoover are no better for selling this let down vacuum. Unusual to find poor reviews , I think that Godfreys don't publish bad reviews ; or post the buyers true review.

Complete waste of money – Suck hair off a carpet? You are kidding me ! It would not even such a tiny feather of a plate. Stay Away from this product. Or you will not only waste you money but lose a lot of weight and raise you blood pressure. If anyone wants it free, they could have it: before I chuck it in the bin for plastic recycling. Show details

Dodgy turbo function – The dog and cat turbo head doesn't push forward - its useless. Otherwise just a standard vacuum. Hard to clean the heads as well. Show details

Not pet effective – Just got one for Christmas and first use it didn't suck up any cat hair at all. It hardly even sucks up on the tiles too. For a vacuum thats suppose to 'suck' it really sucks. Show details

A vacuum cleaner that really does the job – I purchased this vac about 2 years ago and it has made cleaning my huge house a breeze. I have 2 cats and one being a long haired fluff ball who leaves his fur everywhere I needed a good cleaner to help lift the fluff with much effort and this cleaner with its rotor brush mechanism is just fantastic. You do need to make sure you thoroughly clean… Read more ·  2

all filters and ensure the rotor brush is free of hair etc to achieve best results. Would highly recommend and the price is very affordable unlike most well performing vacuums.

Excellent for its price – Does a great job for this price range. I like the variable suction speed. A bit noisy at top speed is the only con I see with the vacuum cleaner.  Show details ·  1

Excellent vacuum for the price – I use this vacuum in the house on carpet, vinyl and furniture, as well to vacuum my car interior. For the price (I paid $149 at Godfreys), it is excellent. The model I bought is 1800W and has excellent suction. It isn't too loud either. The dust chamber is easy to empty, except I find the hose connecting to it gets stuck when I remove it. The HEPA… Read more

filter needs to be washed regularly because the dust builds up in it and the vacuum loses suction. I think a vacuum with a bag is best for pet hair; it provides better suction and keeps the dust out of the filter for longer. The only other issue I have with it is it can be tricky to change the attachments to the hose, they tend to get stuck. All in all, I think this vacuum is great for the price. I live in an old house with lots of pet hair and it keeps the place clean. No bags is a plus for me to reduce environmental waste.

Worst vacuum ever – Don't ever put your fingers in the head if it's blocked because you will slice your finger as it's razor sharp!!! Yes, I sustained a deep cut. Also, emptying the vacuum is a nightmare. The pet fur and hair gets tightly woven tightly around a circle part in the canister (extremely poor design) and you have to physically pull it out with your… Read more

hands whilst dust is going everywhere and in your face. Avoid if you have a dust allergy!!! Terrible design. Biggest regret buying this!!!

Great buy, pet friendly – Very good quality for a everyday vacuum. I have cats, fur everywhere. Smell goes with it. I bought a attachment hard floors made a difference. Well price for what your getting. Show details ·  1

not happy with this – constantly blocking. I agree with Lily. A quick job takes an hour and am dusty and dirty at end of it. Filter needs cleaning every use and is full constantly. Show details

Great suction. Cheap and nasty parts – Purchased in the January sales. Nearly took it back the same day as suction was terrible. THEN I noticed a dial that adjusts vacuum intensity. It's great. That's it for good points. The cable is ridiculously short. The collection container needs emptying every time (3 bedroom house, half carpeted, half laminate / tiles). The carpet turbo head… Read more

broke within 3 months, and needed to be replaced. The plastic to metal connections constantly fall apart. The other regular floor head just snapped off under no tension whilst in its holding position on the end of the machine. The vacuum suction is great. The rest is frustratingly awful.

Literally the worst vacuum I’ve ever used – Suction was extremely poor from the start, now it just gets blocked constantly. Makes a 10 minute job take an hour, I can’t stand it. I’ve only had it 4 months, and have only been using it on barely messy carpets. Show details

Great power – I have only had this vacuum for a couple of months but love it so far. We have two dogs that shed no stop and it does an amazing job and getting most of the stubborn hair out of our carpet. After purchasing for $99, I’m very happy with the quality for the price of the product. However, the vacuum hose doesn’t clip into anywhere on the vacuum which is quite annoying for storage of it. Show details

weakling – i do not mind the short cord i do not mind the speed at which it fills up I like thats its light and quiet what I dont like is thats too weak to do much good with the cats hair. I do not like the turbo head constantly jamming I did not the turbo head breaking Suction is underpowered for its 1800 watts and the turbo head causes a large part of that power to be used up by rotating the brush. I have had better machines from this brand.  Show details

Don’t waste your money or time – Whoever designed this does not own dogs, Turbo head is very weak, suction very poor, parts are very flimsy. Good to see the price has been reduced to under $100 however I paid full price when it was new on the market at $300 & I’m fuming, I genuinely feel robbed following false advertising. If you purchase one of these you will be emptying the… Read more

bag less chamber several times during one session & when you do you will need long nose pliers to reach down into the chamber to pull the hair out as the hole that’s leads to the large chamber is so small that it clogs within minutes. I have a short haired border collie who is brushed regularly therefor there isn’t a lot of hair being shed in the house but it’s still enough to clog it.

It is average at best on hardwood floors but the turbo head barely rotates on carpet or hardwood.

The chord is so short that you will be plugging it in in each individual room.

I vacuum 2 rooms with carpet & the rest is hardwood but it just took me over an hour to vacuum my small house.

If you have the money buy a Sauber. Expensive but the Sauber has power & a turbo head that almost sucks your carpet up. My last Sauber lasted me almost 7 years and unfortunately I had to downgrade due to finances but wish I’d saved my money and not bought the Hoover “dog and cat”

Constantly gets clogged – My $49 vacuum from Kmart works better. It's hard to maneuver and is heavy and hard to use. It constantly gets clogged. I paid $98 for it. Not worth it  Show details

Do not waste money – This vacuum is constantly breaking and blocking, which means it doesn't do a very good job at sucking. It's a nightmare to clean my floors because of it. Cant clean one room without it blocking - very frustrating Don't waste your money. Just spend a little more and get a decent one. You may as well not have a vacuum with this one.  Show details

A good product – I bought this for my daughter and have used it on a number of occasions. I find that it is a very good vac for the price. It copes very well with her 2 cats that are heavy shedders of fur and the suction on this is so good at getting it out of the carpet . I would totally recommend this product  Show details

Great leaves the Kogan for dead – no it is a magnificent product for the price. However I was a bit sceptical at first because of the price, I and my cleaners are very happy with the product. Purchased a Kogan and it had many problems and even after returning it to them they stated that there was nothing wrong with it.Then I bought the hoover and now everyone is happy.  Show details

Very Happy – After our previous hoover finally died after 5 years it was time for a new one. The oldie had cost $99 which translates to $20/year. But I had to repeatedly repair the body of it because the plastic fractured. So I sought a replacement. Godfreys Tuggerah were out of stock of the model I wanted so they offered a better product at the $99 price.… Read more

The 5016 Dog & Cat Turbo is a much better machine. The 5 metre cord is far more convenient and the choice of heads is very good. The dust container is huge compared with the previous and the filters are larger and easier to clean. It's more powerful and I only set the power to 50% which is ample for our place. Yes I'm happy apart from a design problem which was also evident on the old machine. The wheels protrude about 10mm outside of the body of the machine which means it jams when pulling through a doorway or around table legs. That's damn annoying. That aside, It's a good, powerful cleaner.
