Hoover Velocity Evo – All You Need To Know

amomentwithfranca · 4 January 2019 · 21 Comments

A vacuum cleaner is something that we all need to use at home but there are always so many different options to choose from that it can be hard to know what to pick or which model is best suited to your needs.

AO recently sent me the Hoover Velocity Evo Reach VE02 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner worth £139, to try out at home. I have previously tried out a Dyson and a Shark at home so I was curious to see how the Hoover brand would compare to these two brands.

To really be able to try the Hoover Velocity Evo Reach VE02 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner I thought it would be a great idea to take to my in-laws when they had the girls over to stay recently. As they have a dog and we don’t, I felt like using the vacuum cleaner in this environment would really put it to the test.

Content

The box contains the following:

  • 1xVelocity Evo Bagless Upright Vacuum
  • 2-in-1 dusting brush/ crevice nozzle
  • Long crevice
  • manual

The Hoover Velocity Evo Reach VE02 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Suitable for both carpets and wood flooring, this vacuum is perfect for all the floorings in your home giving the same performance throughout. The clever Intellicare technology protects your carpets, as the power output of the brush bar is reduced when the vacuum is stationary. The vacuum comes with a handy crevice tool for those hard to reach areas and a turbo tool for removing stubborn dirt and pet hairs. However, if you are in need of thorough carpet cleaning, I recommend you to use a professional cleaning service such as ProLux Carpet Cleaning.

KEY FEATURES

  • Bagless cleaning – easy to empty and no bags to buy
  • Gives great results on both hard floors and carpets
  • Special technology helps to protect carpet fibres
  • Comes with a handy tool for corners and crevices
  • Turbo Tool removes embedded dirt and pet hair

I was really interested in finding out what Nick’s parents thought of the vacuum when it came to picking up dog hairs. I, of course, gave it a test drive myself when we arrived to get a feel for how it manoeuvred around the home and tackled pet hair on the floor. Then I left it in the capable hands of Nick’s parents to report back me about how it performed over the course of a few weeks. Because you really can’t get a feel for something like this after just one use. You need to know how well it performs on a day to day basis after regular use.

How well did the Hoover Vacuum Perform?

“The vacuum picked up the bits up off the carpet well. It is a little bit noisy when you press the button to use on carpet but it definitely worked better on carpets with the button pressed. It did make Poppy (dog) run away at first, but she then got used to the noise. The vacuum stands up much better by itself without the cable on the back of it. All attachments fitted very well so they stay with the hoover. You can also have the cable fitted on the hook as suggested, to stop you running over it and it is a good long length too”

The Hoover Velocity Evo Reach VE02 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner has some really great features which I liked:

  • Great hoover for the carpets
  • It is very powerful with a great 12 mt reach
  • It comes with a large capacity 1.5L
  • Performed well on both carpet and hard flooring
  • Very good at picking up the dog hair
  • Easy to move room to room
  • The attachment suction is good
  • Easy to empty
  • It comes with a lot of pieces to put together to use extension

With these accessories, you can reach higher areas as well as corners and crevices

But also some which I didn’t like:

  • It can be very heavy to push at times
  • The vacuum won’t stand upright even if you don’t have the cable hanging on it which is a big issue for us. It just falls to the floor every time. I didn’t like this because it can also be an issue when you store it.

As you can see this vacuum cleaner performs well but it has a couple of things to be aware of which for some can be an issue but for others, it might be overseen by the fact that it performs well and does the job.

Are you looking for a new vacuum cleaner? What do you look for when buying a new vacuum cleaner?

*Disclosure: AO sent us this vacuum cleaner for the purpose of this review. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    I am very fussy when it comes to vacuum cleaners, I think the fact that this doesn’t stand well if the cable isn’t on correctly would put me off but other than that, it sounds great #kcacols

    This sounds great I’ll have to check it out. I bought a cordless vacuum around 6 months ago and it’s really not up to scratch. It gets clogged so easily and doesn’t pick up pet hair well. This sounds perfect for us. Thanks for the review. #KCACOLS

    I’m on the lookout for a new vacuum cleaner, having a Jack Russell means hairs all over the place and the one I have is hard work, so I’ll be definitely looking into this one.

    I love to vacuum, especially when I am stressed! Our vacuum is very heavy for stairways and such, not to bad on pushing. It would drive me batty if it wouldn’t stand up though! Argh! And, I know bagless is most all new hoovers, however I find them messy as all get out? Do you like a bag or bag-less? #kcacols

      Yes that part was definitely annoying! I think I prefer the new bagless hoovers. For me the suction function needs to be strong. This is what I really go for 🙂 x

    We have a Dyson, it’s good but bulky. To be honest I don’t use it that often. We have a cleaner that comes every other week and I use the rechargable one during the week #KCACOLS

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍.

✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers.

✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
✨Eating in Peru✨.One of the things that I lo ✨Eating in Peru✨.One of the things that I love the most about Peru besides family and friends of course, is the food! Peruvian food is one of the best in the world! It really is! And eating in Peru is a must! Trying any dish even if it is not neccesary a peruvian dish, it is cooked in such a way that the taste is just incredible! 😋 .While I was there for a couple of weeks I really made sure to try my favourite dishes again as well as new dishes and visiting classic restaurants as well as new restaurants and cafes that have opened in the last 5 years that I haven’t been able to visit. .If you go to Peru and stop in Lima, I really recommend you to visit @elmercadorestaurante, @cafedelima, @bottega_dasso, @panchitasazoncriolla, @eltiomario_restaurant, @lacaffettedilonato, @churreriamanolope, @franklinrestaurante, @lalamiraflores, @osakanikkei, @elpandelachola, @mattoniperu, @laterrazadelpardo, @cafevictoria_barranco among others! We have a really good list of restaurants and cafes that are worth a try. Peru is one of the best culinary destinations in the world 😋 .I also went to #limamarinaclub for dinner and the food together with the sea view was such an amazing atmosphere. This is a members club but I had to mention it because I really enjoyed this place ☺️.Have you tried Peruvian Food or eating in Peru? .#peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #peruvianrestaurant #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #peruvian #limaperu #limafood #loveeating #foodiegram #food #over40 #over40blogger #overforty
