What is the Hoover HL5 Anti-Hairwrap (HL500HM 001)?
The Hoover HL5 Anti-Hairwrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner (model code HL500HM 001) is a corded, bagless upright from Hoover's UK range built around one specific problem: hair and thread wrapping around the brushbar. It runs on an 850W motor, holds up to 2.5 litres of dust in its bagless bin, and weighs 5.84kg. Filtration goes through a washable HEPA (H13) filter, and Hoover lists a noise level of 80dB for the machine. In the box you get an onboard crevice tool and a 2-in-1 crevice-and-dusting nozzle, both released quickly through Hoover's Instant Wand Release rather than needing you to dig through a separate accessory bag.
No live price tracked for this model right now
We don't currently have any UK retailer offers tracked for this exact model, so we can't quote a live price, name a specific retailer, or confirm stock levels at the moment. Rather than guess at a figure, it's more useful to explain what tends to move the price of a machine like this up or down, and where UK shoppers typically go looking for it.
What drives the price of the Hoover HL5 Anti-Hairwrap
Two features separate the HL5 from Hoover's more basic corded bagless uprights, and they're the main reason a machine like this tends to sit above entry-level pricing within the brand's line-up:
- ANTI-TWIST technology with an integrated comb. The brushbar has a comb built into it that's designed to stop hair wrapping around the bar as you vacuum, instead of clumping and gradually choking suction. This is the HL5's core differentiator — it isn't fitted to Hoover's other corded bagless uprights in this range, so if pet or long hair pickup was the main frustration with a previous machine, it's this feature specifically addressing it, not just an extra tool in the box.
- PUSH&LIFT foot pedal for a portable, above-floor cleaning mode. A foot pedal releases the main body from the floorhead for above-floor cleaning — stairs, upholstery, curtains, car interiors — without switching to a separate handheld unit or detaching the whole wand assembly.
On top of those two, the washable HEPA H13 filter reduces the ongoing cost of buying replacement filters over the machine's life, and the LED headlights built into the floorhead plus the 2-speed/variable suction control on the handle are the kind of everyday convenience extras that typically sit on the more expensive end of a manufacturer's corded upright range rather than its cheapest model.
Where UK shoppers typically buy Hoover upright vacuums
UK shoppers typically find Hoover upright vacuums like this one through major electricals retailers, Hoover's own UK online store, general retailers with an electricals section, and online marketplaces. Prices and stock for the same model can vary noticeably between these outlets, and a specific configuration like the HL500HM 001 code isn't always stocked everywhere a more generic "HL5" listing appears — it's worth checking the exact model code on a listing before you buy. Because we don't have current figures for this model, checking retailers directly for live offers is more reliable than relying on a number quoted elsewhere online, which may be out of date.
How the HL5 compares with other Hoover corded bagless uprights
Hoover sells several corded bagless uprights in the UK, and the HL5 sits toward the upper end of that group specifically because of its anti-hair-wrap tooling and portable mode — other models such as the Breeze Evo, Breeze Pet, and Upright 300 Pet cover different priorities (a simpler base spec, HEPA filtration with pet-specific tooling, or the lightest multi-cyclonic build) without combining ANTI-TWIST and PUSH&LIFT the way the HL5 does. If you're still deciding between them, it's worth browsing other Hoover vacuum cleaners as a full range, or looking at other corded bagless upright vacuums more broadly if you haven't settled on the brand yet. A side-by-side spec check is also useful here, since capacity, weight, and filter type differ enough between these models to matter for a specific home — our comparison tool lets you set the HL5 next to any of them on the same page.
What to check before you buy
A few practical points worth confirming before you commit to this model:
- Match the exact model code. Hoover sometimes lists closely related configurations under different codes; confirm a listing is genuinely HL500HM 001 rather than a similarly named variant with different accessories or a different bin colour.
- Accessory count is limited. The HL5 ships with an onboard crevice tool and a 2-in-1 crevice-and-dusting nozzle — there's no dedicated pet or mattress tool included, so check the listing's accessory list rather than assuming one is included.
- Washable doesn't mean permanent. The HEPA filter is washable, which cuts down on buying replacements, but like any filter it will still need replacing eventually rather than lasting the life of the machine.
- Weight and noise. At 5.84kg it's a mid-weight corded upright rather than a lightweight stick-style machine, and Hoover's stated 80dB noise level is worth bearing in mind if you're vacuuming around sleeping children or in a flat with thin walls.

What does the model code HL500HM 001 mean?
It's Hoover's internal product code for this specific configuration of the HL5 Anti-Hairwrap range, used to distinguish it from other HL5 variants that may differ in colour, accessories, or bundled tools. Checking this code against a retailer listing helps confirm you're buying the exact machine described here, since we don't currently have any UK retailer offers tracked for this model. Confirming the code matters more than usual here, because there's no tracked price to cross-check the listing against, so the model code is the main way to verify you're looking at the right machine.
Is the Hoover HL5 Anti-Hairwrap bagged or bagless?
It's bagless, with a 2.5-litre dust bin rather than a disposable bag. This sits alongside an 850W motor and a washable HEPA (H13) filter, which cuts down on buying replacement filters over the machine's life. At 5.84kg it's a mid-weight corded upright, and the bagless design pairs with the model's two main differentiators — ANTI-TWIST brushbar technology and a PUSH&LIFT foot pedal for portable, above-floor cleaning — that set it apart from Hoover's more basic corded bagless uprights.
Does PUSH&LIFT mode use a separate handheld unit?
No. A foot pedal releases the main body from the floorhead for portable, above-floor cleaning — stairs, upholstery, curtains, car interiors — so you don't need to switch to a separate handheld attachment. This is one of two features that separate the HL5 from Hoover's more basic corded bagless uprights, alongside ANTI-TWIST brushbar technology with an integrated comb. Both features are why this model tends to sit above entry-level pricing within Hoover's line-up, even though no live retailer price is currently tracked for it.
Is the HEPA filter on this model washable?
Yes, it's a washable HEPA (H13) filter, which means you can rinse and reuse it rather than buying disposable replacements as often. Like any filter, it will still need replacing eventually rather than lasting the life of the machine. This filter works alongside the 2.5-litre bagless bin, the 850W motor, and the ANTI-TWIST brushbar comb, and it's one of several everyday convenience features — along with LED headlights and variable suction control — that typically sit on the more expensive end of Hoover's corded upright range.
