Discover if the Hoover React Professional Pet Plus UH73220 lives up to the hype for pet owners. We break down its stellar pet hair pickup on carpets and floors, mediocre carpet cleaning, and more. Plus, top alternatives for ultimate home cleaning.
Pet owners know the struggle: fur everywhere, from carpets to hardwood. The Hoover React Professional Pet Plus UH73220 promises targeted relief with its pet-focused design. Priced around $200, this corded upright vacuum shines in pet hair removal but falls short on deep carpet cleaning. In our hands-on tests, it earned an overall score of 62/100, excelling on bare floors (4/5) and pet hair (5/5) while struggling with high-pile rugs (2/5). No hose or attachments limit versatility.
If you're battling pet shedding, read on for performance details, pros/cons, and better picks.
Quick Pick
Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Lightweight, cordless power for pet hair anywhere. XL dirt cup, ideal for homes. Check current price
This vacuum aced bare floor cleaning, scoring 4/5. It picked up 95% of debris like rice, cereal, and sand in one pass. Pet hair on hard floors? A perfect 5/5—100% removal without scattering. The brush roll adjusts automatically via React technology, sensing dirt and boosting suction.
Pro Tip: For sticky pet messes, pair with a deep cleaner like Hoover Everyday Solution Carpet Shampoo.
Low-pile carpets got a 3/5 (85% sand pickup), but high-pile lagged at 2/5 (70% pickup after multiple passes). Pet hair on carpets was flawless (5/5), thanks to the Pet Turbo Tool—though it's on-board only, no hose for above-floor reach.
Noise levels are tolerable (4/5, around 78 dB), quieter than many uprights. Emissions score 3/5 due to minor dust leakage from seals.
Convenience is 2/5—no hose means stairs and upholstery are off-limits. At 18 lbs, it's manageable but not lightweight. The 25-ft cord and 0.5-gallon bagless cup are standard. Emptying kicks up some dust; washable filters need monthly rinses.
Our Verdict: Great for quick pet hair sweeps on flats and low rugs, but upgrade for full-home versatility.

Maintenance Tips:
For all-around power, the EUREKA PowerSpeed Lightweight Upright offers pet turbo at a budget price.
We simulated pet homes: shedding labs, cat hair clumps. UH73220 devoured hair but labored on embedded dirt in plush rugs. Runtime? 20-30 mins per session before emptying. Compared to cordless rivals, it's powerful but tethered.
Battery Life Note: N/A (corded), but ONEPWR lasts 40+ mins on eco.
Value Score: 7/10—solid entry-level pet vac, but alternatives boost convenience.
