Dyson vs. Hoover: a personal comparison of which suits you better

I’ve seen tons of commercials detailing the Dyson and Hoover vacuum brands. It looks like they work great, especially on pet hair, but which one works better? Vacuums can cost a lot of money, and if yours doesn’t work well or breaks down, it’s just not worth it! Dyson vs Hoover is an important choice, so let’s take a look in this vacuum throw-down!

​Dyson Vs Hoover: Brand Comparison

Dyson is all about engineering masterpieces that are easy to use while being light and balanced. They take great pride in creating something that’s meant just for you, whether you’re looking for something cordless, an upright model, a barrel type, or even more accessories for your vacuuming needs. Dyson’s Cyclone cleaning technology is perfect for power and pet hair as those small accessories help you get into those tough corners. They even create fans and heaters now too, and if they work as great as the vacuums, it might be something to consider.

Hoover is definitely more well-known for their floor cleaning products, providing not only vacuums, but hard floor and carpet cleaners too. They take pride in keeping your floor clean with the best products, including cordless options, upright, canisters, sticks, or even hand vacuums. Just like Dyson, they especially love their bagless vacuums, and work hard not only to make your vacuum work well, but also store well. The Windtunnel cleaning technology is unique to Hoover and perfect for those of you who have allergies and need to keep your house clean.

Dyson DC40 Review

Dyson’s Cyclone technology is an important part of their top notch vacuums. With a vacuum that works on all floor types to clean up your home in a jiff, you won’t need to run out to get another vacuum again anytime soon. One of my favorite Dyson vacuums, this one is super powerful as its self adjusting cleaner head is really effective. Both lightweight with its powerful Ball technology, this vacuum doesn`t lose suction as you`re using it. I also love that you can empty it easily and in a hygienic manner with just a simple click.

Dyson DC40 Animal Review

Do you own a pet? I can’t imagine not having one, but I can definitely imagine a life in which I don’t go around picking up pet hair everywhere! The Dyson Animal is pretty much like the regular DC, except this version will use its Radial Root Cyclone technology for the elimination of pet hair. Featuring a powerful mini turbine head that performs well in cleaning sofas, upholstery, small corners, I also love the filter that helps with allergens.

Hoover Windtunnel Review

We’ve gone over the Dyson, but what about Hoover? Well, Hoover is also a strong cleaner, sporting light 16.5 pound vacuums to make it easy to use.

Boasting its exclusive Windtunnel technology that claims to never lose suction, this vacuum also comes with washable filters along with HEPA filters.

  • It picks up dirt across all surfaces, including couches, very well
  • It’s not only a powerful vacuum, but actually a quiet one
  • Works great on any carpet

Is the Hoover Better Than the Dyson?

Sadly, I can’t really make that decision for you. Both of these vacuums brands are well known, popular, effective and make great options for your home. If you want some specifics, they tie in many categories, including suction and tools included. Hoover has a larger range of vacuums, but they both have bagless models that’ll make your life easier. Dyson does hold up over the long term a little better while Hoover is more cost effective. No matter which vacuum you pick, they’ll clean your carpet and home in no time. It all depends on what you need for your home and which features matter more.
