- 850W POWERFUL SUCTION - UNCOMPROMISED CLEAN ON EVERY FLOOR: Driven by an 850W anti-tangle corded upright motor and a dual-speed rotating brushbar, the HL420 delivers deep, consistent suction across every floor type - lifting embedded carpet debris and switching to hard floors without losing a single watt. Three adjustable suction settings match power to the job, from delicate rugs to deep-pile carpet. Unlike cordless alternatives that suffer progressive suction fade as battery charge drops, the HL420 delivers consistent full-power 850W performance from the first room to the last.
- INCLUDES CAR DETAILING KIT - THE ONLY UPRIGHT THAT CLEANS YOUR HOME AND YOUR CAR: The HL420 comes with a dedicated car interior cleaning and detailing kit - a 1.2m flexible precision reach hose plus four specialist mini detailing attachments in a carry tote storage bag - engineered to clean car seat gap debris, dashboard ventilation slot dust, carpeted footwells, door pocket liners and boot interiors that a standard floorhead cannot access. Full upright power for your home. Full detailing reach for your car. One machine. Complete coverage.
- The washable H13 HEPA anti-allergy filtration system captures 99.95% of fine airborne dust particles, seasonal pollen allergens, pet dander particles and microscopic dust mite debris - returning only clean, purified air to your home. The H13 grade allergen filter rating is the gold standard in domestic air filtration, and a meaningful step up from the standard EPA filters on lower-spec models. Fully washable: no replacement costs over the machine's lifetime.
- 2-IN-1 PUSH & LIFT - INSTANT HANDHELD FOR STAIRS, SOFAS, CARS & BEYOND: The Push & Lift foot pedal conversion system transforms the HL420 from a full-size corded upright vacuum into a compact lift-away handheld portable vacuum in seconds - no tools, no effort. The detachable portable cleaning unit retains full 850W suction for stair tread surface cleaning, upholstered sofa fabric, car seat interior debris and above-floor dust removal. Anti-Twist tangle-prevention brushbar technology keeps hair and fibres from wrapping mid-clean - no stops, no loss of suction.
- LED HEADLIGHTS & 100° STEERING - SEE MORE, MISS NOTHING: The LED illuminated precision floorhead reveals hidden dust and debris under sofas, along skirting boards and in dark corners that would otherwise go missed entirely. The 100° ultra-manoeuvrable steering angle glides around table legs, chair feet and tight furniture gaps without lifting or repositioning - one continuous fluid pass through every obstacle in your home. At under 5kg in use, it's one of the lightest uprights in its class: clean the whole home without fatigue.
- 2.5L BIN · 7.6M CORD · 3-YEAR WARRANTY - BUILT TO LAST, BUILT TO REACH: A large 2.5L bagless one-click dustbin keeps you moving through larger homes without constant emptying interruptions - no mess, no replacement bags, no running costs. The 7.6m full-reach power cord covers multiple rooms without swapping outlets. Register via the hOn app within 30 days of purchase for your complimentary 3-year warranty with maintenance alerts and troubleshooting guides.

General information you should know about Vacuums:
Vacuum cleaners, also known as vacuums, have become an essential tool for maintaining clean and tidy homes and offices. They use suction to remove dust, dirt, and debris from floors, carpets, and upholstery. Whether you have pets, allergies, or simply like to keep your living space spotless, investing in a good vacuum cleaner is a wise decision.
One of the key benefits of using a vacuum cleaner is the time and effort it saves compared to traditional methods of cleaning. Instead of spending hours sweeping or mopping, a vacuum cleaner can effortlessly clean a large area in a fraction of the time. This efficiency allows you to spend more time doing things you enjoy rather than chores.
Another advantage of vacuum cleaners is their ability to effectively remove allergens and pollutants from the environment. Many models are equipped with HEPA filters that capture tiny particles such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, improving the air quality in your home. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.
Vacuum cleaners come in various types and designs, each suited for different cleaning tasks. Upright vacuums are the most common and versatile, suitable for both carpets and hard floors. Canister vacuums, on the other hand, offer increased maneuverability and are ideal for cleaning stairs, furniture, and curtains. For those with large homes or multiple levels, a cordless stick vacuum provides convenience and portability.
When comparing vacuum cleaners, several factors should be considered. Firstly, look for models with strong suction power and adjustable settings for different floor surfaces. Additionally, pay attention to the capacity of the dustbin or bag, ensuring it is adequate for your cleaning needs. The length of the power cord and the presence of additional attachments, such as crevice tools or pet hair brushes, can also enhance the versatility of a vacuum cleaner.
In conclusion, vacuum cleaners are essential tools for maintaining cleanliness and improving indoor air quality. With their time-saving capabilities and effectiveness in removing allergens, investing in a vacuum cleaner is a wise decision. When comparing different models, consider factors such as suction power, dustbin capacity, and additional attachments to find a vacuum cleaner that suits your specific needs. With the right vacuum cleaner, keeping your home or office clean and fresh will be a breeze. So why wait? Start your journey towards a cleaner, healthier space by purchasing a vacuum cleaner today.
