The Circlio cordless hoover impresses with its carefully designed packaging as soon as it is unpacked. The hoover is delivered in a sturdy cardboard box that provides the product with sufficient protection against damage. Plastic film and foam are used to secure the product components, ensuring protection during transport.

All parts are in perfect condition and securely packed. The operating instructions are detailed and written in five languages, including German and English. In addition, a practical quick guide on the packaging provides a quick overview and makes it easier to get started.

The Circlio cordless hoover impresses in the practical test with a performance that fully meets the manufacturer’s specifications. It has a very good cleaning performance on hard floors and carpets, although choosing the right mode is crucial. The green light, which makes dirt visible and makes cleaning easier, is particularly practical. In turbo mode, the brush occasionally gets stuck on carpets, which can slightly impair the cleaning flow.
The battery life corresponds to the manufacturer’s specifications. In ECO and FLOOR modes in particular, the battery delivers an impressive performance of approx. 65 minutes, enabling long, uninterrupted use. The charging time of approx. 2.5 hours is also realistic.
In terms of handling and ergonomics, the hoover impresses with its intuitive and flexible operation, its low weight and the modern touchscreen, which enables quick and easy control. Regular maintenance of the roller brush and filter is recommended, which seems a little more time-consuming, especially at the beginning. Maintenance is made easier by the removable brush and the 2-in-1 cleaning tool supplied.
The noise level is pleasantly low, especially in ECO mode, which makes the hoover a good choice for households with sensitive ears. Even in powerful Turbo mode, the noise level remains comparatively moderate.
Overall, the Circlio cordless hoover is a powerful and well-designed appliance that scores points for its versatility, ergonomics and quiet operation. Minor weaknesses, such as the brush blocking in turbo mode, only slightly affect the overall result.
