+ You get what you pay for. This hoover works well and has great suction. I think it is good value for money.

- I have only had it for a few weeks and already it has less suction. I have followed the instructions regarding cleaning the filters but I do think the suction is not as good as it was at the start. If you want a better hoover then you need to spend more money.

+ It's easy to assemble and to empty, light and easy to stow in a cupboard. Suction is good and it looks very sleek too - especially with the neat way that the head for corners and edges fits in underneath at the back.

- It would be nice if the flex were a little longer.

+ Excellent price for this wattage. Excellent sucker. All round substantially better than our last pull-along.

- The wheels are a bit rubbish and don't run as smoothly as they could. Also, the tools have a tendency to fall off if not shoved on properly. Not critical, but some form of catch and release would be better for the tools. Also, a longer cord please.

+ I've got both laminate and carpet flooring and it performs very well on both. It's also small and compact which is why i chose it as i have limited storage space.

+ Light to carry. Small and easy to store.

- This Hoover does not even have enough power to suck up a paperclip off the carpet. It is less than useless!

+ Small and compact with a nice design.

- Cord is too short, always having to re-plug in a nearer socket. Suction is not that great, changing tools is a pain and the hoover at maxium is too noisey.

+ This is a compact and powerful vacuum which is easy to use and does what it claims. The dust canister can be slightly difficult to remove but practice makes perfect. I am very happy to recommend this product.

- None, apart from the dust canister which requires two hands to remove it and care not to press the latch to empty it too soon.
