Videos & independent reviews
Coverage gathered from around the web so you can check our verdict against everyone else’s. We label who published what — manufacturer videos are marketing; independent outlets received nothing from us.
Written reviews elsewhere
“This model is able to remove only some of the dirt from our carpets during tests, but left most behind. We found that it was good at cleaning bare floors like hardwood, tile, and linoleum, making it a capable floor cleaner.”
Consumer Reports
Videos are hosted on YouTube and we don’t control their content. “Manufacturer video” is published by Hoover’s own channel; independent reviewers are not affiliated with this site and these links earn us nothing. Review excerpts are quoted verbatim with attribution — quoting is not endorsement.
