- None

+ This is nice and light and easy to use.

- The nozzle s a bit akward to use sometimes.

+ Powerful, cordless, hand held vacuum cleaner with washable filters. Excellent for cleaning the stairs and upholstery.

- On the heavy side.

+ Very strong pick up

- Small opening on spout only picks up small items

+ Good, powerful suction, easy to empty

- Power doesn't seem to last long - half hour on full speed at most. It's also quite heavy, but then isn't designed to be used for prolonged periods.

+ Light, quite, easy to get off the dust. I am very happy with it. I would recommend it to anyone.

- Just a little bit expensive but it is worth.

+ Small light & easy to handle

- There isn't really enough power, and the battery doesn't last that long, so it's OK for regular bits here and there but not much use for a major clean up. However I read up a lot before buying, and it did seem that this is the best there is when it comes to "cordless"!

+ powerful and efficient

- a bit bulky

+ Really handy size for car or caravan

+ powerful,compact,stylish shape

- colour is a but naff(gray & ice blue)

+ Very good suction power

- Unit gets quite hot when on charger

+ easy to use and store, simple to empty,

- has to be emptied often and hose opening is very small

+ Once fully charged the battery lasts well, excellent suction, picks up dog hair easily which is what i bought it for. Good, small size. Easily stored on its charging stand. I would recommend this product to everyone, especially pet owners.

- Needs charging regularly although if stored in its charger stand this isnt an issue.

+ Easy to use and store, great suction and flexable nozell, folds down to store, sucks up cat litter with ease

- Only 10 minutes max on full power, needs to be kept on charge at all times as the charging light stays on all the time,
so never sure when fully charged, great for car use

+ Powerful and versatile hand held cleaner. Far superior to the old dustbuster it has replaced and considerably cheaper than the equivalent we were considering.

- None so far.

+ Very powerful, long lasting battery, easy to store. Really good to pick up small amounts of crumbs etc. around the house and saves having to get the main vac out.

- None

+ Very powerful and battery holds charge a very reasonable time

- None so far

+ Very powerful and versatile

- None really, but a bit heavy to hold with extended use.

+ excellent power storage and ease of use

- none -- yet

+ I actually bought this as an anniversary present for my son and daughter in law and they went on holiday the following day. I went to theirs to house sit and used it myself. I found it very powerful and easy to use. It will be a bonus for them cleaning the car and stairs to name but two uses.

- None so far

+ Easy to use. Suction power is good for its size. Folds away for easy storage. I originally bought mine for cleaning the car, which it's average at. You're better off using a normal sized vacuum for this but it's great for cleaning long hair off vinyl flooring between big vacuum sessions. I also use mine to clean dust off the window sills when its been windy as it saves getting the duster out. Great for doing a quick clean and glad I bought it.

- Overall, it's a great product.

+ Good suction, easy to use and store, good battery life

- A bit heavy to handle after a while

+ Really good suction, brilliant everyday use around the house and car. Easy to use even by my 4 year old son. Very satisfied.

- None worth mentioning.

+ Very good to use and cleans the edges too.

- Runs out of charge quite quickly

+ Does exactly what it says on the tin. Bought it so that I didn't have to keep getting the hoover out. Great very handy

- None that I've come across yet

+ Very powerful for a hand held, excellent!

- Shape is a bit 'clunky' but benefits far out weigh this minor appearance issue!

+ So well designed and easy to use I no longer have to drag a large vacuum cleaner up the stairs. I clean them with this hand-held

- Have'nt found any

+ Handy, easy to use and powerful enough for a handheld.

- 'Charge' does run out quiet quickly.

+ The product folds down so it is more compact to fit inside a cupboard.

- It is more expensive than its rivals

+ It does what it is supposed to do. Great for all the small clean up jobs, easy to use and empty.

- Could do with a brush for some difficult to shift fluff or dirt from carpet, particularly in the confined areas in the car.

+ Ideal for use on stairs/ light use when picking up crumbs from furniture/floor. Good at picking up cat hairs

- Bit on the heavy side .

+ Works absolutely brilliantly, good suction power, easy to clean and empty.

- None

+ Basically the Dustbuster is pretty good, although a little on the heavy side. The two speed suction is very good and a nice improvement on previous model I had. However, although you think the nozzle is empty after having emptied the dust collection chamber there is always a residue of dirt emptied onto the floor when returning the body to the charging receiver.

- Apart from the points mentioned above, I'm a little surprised at how small the dust collection chamber is when having regard to the overall size of the Dustbuster. Also it would have been a little more beneficial if the battery had a quick boost facility, in order to finish the cleaning rather than have to return it for the 16 hour charge
