Should I be looking at bagged or bagless vacuum cleaners?
The advantage of a bagless vacuum cleaner is the money saved on buying the replacement bags and the environmental advantage of having less to dispose of. Vacuum cleaners tend to work most efficiently when their dust bag or container is empty, so if you have a container, you could empty it every time you use the vacuum cleaner to keep it running more efficiently. However, emptying a dust container without a bag can be messy and a hazard for people with an allergy to dust, although some models are less messy than others. Some dust bags are self-sealing which helps prevent dust from escaping.
If you are looking into a bagless machine, bear in mind that the smaller the dust canister, the more often you’ll have to stop cleaning to empty all of the dust. However, bigger dust canisters will obviously make the machine heavier as they fill up.

I’ve lost the attachments for my vacuum cleaner, where can I buy some new ones?
You should check with the retailer you bought the vacuum from to check if they stock the attchements. If not, get in touch with the manufacturer and they should be able to tell you where you can purchase some from.
If you are still having problems, you can check for parts on www.partmaster.co.uk.
My vacuum cleaner is not picking up dust as well as it used to. Is there anything I can do to improve it or do I need to buy a new one?
Before you shell out on a new vacuum cleaner, change the filters– if you haven’t already done so in the last year – or clean them if they are lifetime filters. Also empty the dust container or change the bag – even if it’s not completely full. Vacuum cleaners are more effective when they don’t contain lots of dust.
My vacuum cleaner is broken, how do I fix it?
If you are experiencing a fault with your product we advise that you always check with the retailer that you made your purchase from. Check your guarantee or extended warranty to see if they are still in effect.
If your product is no longer under guarantee try searching the internet or enquiring in a local shop to see if the problem you are experiencing is a common one. That way you can work out whether it’s worth repairing or better to save for a new product.
How do I leave a review?
When someone buys a product from one of our retail partners, we email them a brief questionnaire asking them what they think of the product they’ve purchased. We then publish the reviewer’s scores and comments on our website and our partners’ websites. More detail about how we collect reviews.
Our focus is on genuine reviews from real people, so, unlike other review sites, you can’t add a review unless you’ve purchased something online from one of our retail partners.
