It suits small homes and flats with mostly short runs of floor, and buyers who want a simple machine without bags.

The Vax Pick Up Pet CVRAV013 goes first because it leaves owners a little happier and has been rated by more owners. The Hoover HP1 Bagless HP105HM is the newer design. ## About the Hoover HP1 Bagless HP105HM The HP105HM is a corded bagless cylinder from Hoover with a 700W motor. Dust is separated by a single cyclone into a 2L bin, and the filtration is a washable EPA system, so there are no bags to buy. The cleaner weighs 4.1kg on its own and measures 270mm high, 412mm wide and 287mm deep. Power is fixed. There is no suction dial, so you get one setting on every surface. Hoover rates noise at 78dBA and gives an annual energy use of 27kWh. The cord is 5m long and the working radius is 7.5m, which is enough for a room or two before you need another socket. Hoover lists an All Floors nozzle and a 2-in-1 tool (crevice tool and dusting brush) that stores on the machine. The tubes are metal and telescopic. There is a carry handle and a single castor wheel. The brand's page does not give a full box list, so check the listing for what is included in your version. ### Key specs - Type: Corded bagless cylinder - Power: 700W, fixed - Bin capacity: 2L - Weight: 4.1kg (cleaner only) - Size: 270mm high x 412mm wide x 287mm deep - Cord and radius: 5m cord, 7.5m working radius - Noise: 78dBA - Filtration: Washable EPA, single cyclone - Tools: All Floors nozzle, 2-in-1 crevice tool and dusting brush - Warranty: Registered automatically on purchase (length not stated on Hoover's page) ## What owners report about the Hoover HP1 Bagless HP105HM Owner feedback for this exact model is thin, and what we found comes mainly from the first page of written reviews on Hoover's own shop on Feefo. Most of it is positive. Owners say it picks up well for its size, that the suction is good for the money, and that it cleans carpets properly. Several like how light it is and that it fits in a cupboard. One owner points out that not buying bags is a plus. The complaints are small ones. A taller owner found the tube too short and had to stoop. Another said the accessories are on the small side, and one wanted more attachments as standard. On noise, one owner found it quieter than expected, but that is a single remark. We found nothing on cord length or on how the machine holds up after months of use, so we can't say either way. ## Who the Hoover HP1 Bagless HP105HM suits It suits a flat or small house where a light, cheap machine is enough, and anyone who wants to be rid of bags. At 4.1kg it is easy to carry upstairs, and the 2L bin is easy to empty. Hard floors and carpets are both covered by the one nozzle. Look elsewhere if you are tall, since owners report the tube being short. Larger homes will feel the 5m cord and 7.5m radius, and the fixed power and 78dBA noise suit people who don't mind a single loud setting. For more reach, the Vax Air Stretch Pet CCQSASV1P1 gives 12m. For a bagged machine at a similar weight, the Hoover H-ENERGY 300 HE310HM is the alternative. ## Questions about the Hoover HP1 Bagless HP105HM ### Is the Hoover HP105HM a good vacuum cleaner?

Too few review sites cover cylinder vacuum cleaners for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 24 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
