Review Of The Hoover Sprint 21.6 Cordless

Can Housework excite you you wouldn't have thought so but I am actually genially excite with my new acquisition thanks to the kind people at Hoover for sending it to me. As a child of the 70's and 80's that's the 1970s and 1980's and not before I assure you ! in those times I remember carpet sweepers and they were big and clunking and they seemed cumbersome maybe it was because I was knee high to a grasshopper or had an aversion to housework.


The Hoover Sprint  a run time of 50 minutes due to its Lithium -Ion batteries( 21.6 v) enough time to do the house and drink multiple cups of tea with the time saved.A fingertip control button allows you to activate the brush bar for a deep clean on your carpets, you can deactivate the bar to allow cleaning on hard floor surfaces too.




It is light weight 3.kg and manoeuvrable.


Being cordless you can clean almost in your home and the Led lights illuminate dark area making them easier to clean and lightweight it is less of a strain on the arm.You can clean from all sorts of angles as the bar reclines enabling you to clean comfortably under sofas etc, it offers excellent cleaning power round the home and by the flick of a button you can turn the revolving brusher offer allowing you to go from capeted areas to wooden floors /tiled kithcen /bathroom areas etc with ease. The brush bar will ably lift dirt and debris out of your carpets and the Hoover Sprint is a doodle to empty and it has a filter you can clean when it is necessary to do so.


I think this would be ideal for my mother in law who is 92  this year and very sprightly and as does all manner of exercises to keep her fit ( I actually think she is fitter than I am ) and she is partially sighted to so the Led lights would be useful as well.




The Hoover Sprint is easier to store and charging is a simple as well just plug in and well wait for it to charge. It takes around 6 hours for it to be fully charged then you’ll have 50 minutes of use to clean to your hearts content .In fact you’ll have enough time to do an average 3 bedroom house twice before the need to recharge.

There is a very handy LED battery status shows you when it needs to recharge. The Hoover Sprint flexes ,pivots and bends to easily manoeuvre around and under your furniture.





A 0.8 litre bin that’s easy to see when it needs emptying , the weight of the bin and the motor are distributed at the bottom of the Hoover Sprint cordless.
The Hoover Sprint 21.6 retails at about £199 but there are deals out there to be had on this handy addition to your cleaning family.







Disclosure I was kindly sent this by Hoover and all my thoughts words and opinions are my own.


Saying Hello Is The Sweetest Goodbye

It’s a very long time not to see your child for s whole month while they settle into university and of course you settle into not having food disappear. Your husband says you don’t need to sent food parcels but surely this is what Amazon pantry was invented for ?!

And stuffing Belvita breakfast biscuits and little fruit pots etc , ready meals into a survival bag it was akin to the Berlin airdrop and Mr T asking if there was anything left in the shop.A month is far to long not have seen the teen ( I was going to alter what I call him but I will figure than out next year !)

University is so much work the teen showed us his university work schedule and it is truely and utterly mind boggling.The costs that students have to bear is quite unreasonable at times like take for example 5p a print or 9 p  double sided.So we’ve brought the teen a printer which we will take up next time along with a headed clothes house/airer which really is a God sent when the university charges so much to tumble your clothes.

Papa Johns For A Night in Treat

Sometimes it is nice to threat yourself and with Papa Johns you can do that and it is prefect for a movie night at home or family get together , I know we will be all having a pizza when my son is home from university. I think that my son and his flat mates have tried themselves to a pizza on the odd occasion.


Papa Johns has launched 'Papa's Deep Crust' . Paps's Deep Crust is almost double the depth of a regular Papa John's pizza and is coked in a specially designed pan, using an extra cup of cheese compared to other Pap John's Pizzas.It also features a specially designed tomato sauce.An even tattier treat ; it's now on offer until 26th November 2017 priced from £10.99 from Papa John's outlets nationwide.

As part of this launch of "Papa Deep Crust, Papa John's delivered its brand new deep crust pizza to the deepest part of the London network (Hampstead at 58.5m 192 ft) as part of a unique platform dining experience.The usual comfortable benches were swapped for cosy seating and home comforts to give a taste of a perfect Papa John's night in as diners tucked into deliciously light and fluffy 'Papa Deep Crust '







Papa John’s prides itself on using fresh ingredients, ensuring the use of fresh never frozen dough.  The specially formulated recipe features a buttery, seared crust for a fuller flavour and a light and fluffy deeper dough, almost double the depth of regular Papa John’s pizzas cooked in a specially designed pan, to offer an even more indulgent taste than before.
 
A new recipe tomato sauce has also been created, using Californian vine-ripened tomatoes which go from field to can in six hours. Added to this is a blend of signature spices and extra virgin olive oil which are then reduced to create a richer tasting sauce, complementing the new thicker base perfectly. Every ‘Papa’s Deep Crust’ pizza uses an extra cup of cheese, which is spread all the way to the edge of the dough to create a caramelised, crispy cheese crust. Each pizza is then completed with all the favourite pizza toppings, including fresh “store cut” vegetables.



Disclosure Thank you to Papa Johns who sent me one of their delicious pizzas.
