When the bin started to fill up, the extra weight made it unstable on a few occasions, causing it to fall over. In elegant moonlight blue, this stylish unit not only looks the part, but is primed for efficiency too – delivering effortless handling and flexible cleaning, . We got about a half hour from the unit before performance started to drop away using the main motorised floorhead attachment. Press the small red button located at each pipe junction and you can reduce the unit from a full-on stick down to a compact handheld, and back again, in mere seconds.

Thanks to Frontal LED lights on the floorhead and AUTO LED light on the handheld, the Dual LED DustLocator helps to find hidden dust on and above floors, like on bookshelves and behind cushions. This model also comes with a single battery, which can be charge in-situ or removed and charged separately. It's great for doing the stairs because the floorhead is small enough and the vacuum is lightweight - you can even attach the motor straight onto the floorhead without using the long pole.It has the LED light function, which means you can easily find that hidden pet hair, both in the home and car. If any dust or debris becomes stuck around the internal filter, you can remove the entire bin and pull out both this filter and the cloth filter on top, and clean them under the tap. In First Look content we give products a thorough once-over, checking that the features are as good as they say and that the product functions as it's supposed to. A solid mid-range vacuum cleaner, the light Hoover H-Free 300 is a good grab-and-go cleaner for smaller jobs, although you’ll want a standard plug-in cleaner for deep cleans in your home.

Press the button marked ‘Power Control‘ on the back of the unit though and you can pick up the pace, thanks to the more powerful Turbo setting. They provide an early glimpse of new products, showcasing releases from both exciting new startups and well-loved brands. Granted, we haven't had it for long enough to tell you how that battery pack fares over time, but aside from that the Hoover H-Free 300 is an excellent stick vacuum that’s perfect for pulling out when you just need a quick refresh and dust down, rather than a full-on spring cleaning session. Running the H-Free 300 over on Medium power, a single sweep forward and backwards through the mess was sufficient to pick up most of the dirt, but up close there were traces remaining.

Moving to a hard floor, I sprinkled a teaspoon of rice onto the floor, then ran the cleaner through on Medium mode. The H-Free 300 doesn't quite make it to that list, but we will be adding it to the cordless vac list. We found changing accessories was straightforward and quick too – our favourite by far was the mini-motorised tool, which left our velvet sofa fresh and cat-hair free. While other cordless vacuums, such as the Vax Blade 2 Max, seem a little top-heavy, which means they can feel cumbersome to use over time, the C300+ works in the opposite way – the majority of its weight is concentrated at the bottom.

Upping the power to Turbo and pushing the head into the skirting board sucked up more of the flour, but it still fell short of picking up all of it. The Hoover H-Free 300 has won us over for its general appeal though, with a great little design that makes it super convenient. The Hoover H-Free 300 is a very solid stick model to consider if you really can’t be bothered to pull out the ‘proper’ machine from under the stairs, or wherever it is you keep yours. Steering is effortless, with a swivelling floor nozzle, and a handle that reclines for cleaning under furniture.However, as a temporary solution during cleaning, self-standing is a handy feature for occasions when you might need to answer the phone or move a bit of furniture, for example, and a capability that I haven’t seen in another cordless vacuum cleaner.
