Janet, Clitheroe

Score 9.0/10

+ Lightweight and user-friendly: lead not too long (easier that way) and tools are to hand. Much easier to use than my other Hoover One and an improvement on the Hoover 1900w. Overall a satisfactory addition to the household.

- Haven't really had any yet. It seems to go on for longer than the 1900w without cutting out.

Score 7.0/10

+ Easy to push round, better than a bagless for allergy sufferers, good value for money.

- With all Hoover uprights you have to make sure cleaner is standing straight & press foot pedal very firmly before leaning handle back — otherwise that part breaks, the cleaner will no longer stand up, and it is more cost-effective to buy another one rather than have it repaired (note that our old one did last 8.5 years). Cord only 6M (old one was 8.3M) but most uprights seem to have only 6M cord length nowadays. Colour is just painted onto a black casing (old one wasn't), so it would soon start to look knocked about if it bumps into anything.

+ Powerful, smooth running, long extension hose, tools on body, hose disconnects for awkward corners. Ours replaced previous model which was reliable.

- Bag replacement is a little fiddly.
