In our rigorous vacuum cleaner tests, Hoover vacuum cleaners generally score well for cleaning laminate floors, and for walls and corners. Most Hoovers also achieve average scores or above for their performance on carpets.
However, one model scores poorly for carpet cleaning and others are rated poor for ability to pick up pet hair. Scores for noise vary from good to very poor.
