Janet, Leeds , “Pet owner”

+ Good suction, picks up pet hair efficiently. The emptying system is easy and not as messy as other bagless vacs I have owned, the filters are sensibly placed so they are not a complete mess after every use (again this is based on my last bagless).

- Its too bulky and when the cord is all winded round I find it hard to stow away as my space isn't that deep. It is also really heavy to lift but once out its fine as you don't have to lift it again so only feel the weight of the arm.

Score 8.0/10

+ Lightweight. Easy to manoeuvre. Well designed to fit cleaning tools onboard.

- The bagless area isn't very large so you have to empty it frequently.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Pet owner”

Score 9.0/10

+ It sucks every bit of dirt from the floor (including pet hair), and is easy to empty. That's what I want from a vacuum cleaner and I don't think anyone does it better than Dyson. Lots of other nice little features too but the main joy of it is, it does its job better than any other I've used.

- The price (although I shopped around and this was the cheapest, it's still a lot of money for a vacuum cleaner). Long hair gets wrapped up in the attachment and needs cleaning out every so often, but I have yet to find a cleaner where this doesn't happen.

Product Features

Shape	Cylinder
Type of Dust Container	Bagless
Bagless vacuum cleaners help you save money on replacement bags but they generally need to be emptied more often and they can be messy to empty. Also be aware that emptying dust canisters without bags can be a hazard for people with dust allergies.
Weight (kg)	8.75

Pet Hair Brush	No
Loosens hair from carpet fibres, however, standard nozzles can be just as effective if you buy a vacuum cleaner with powerful suction. Check the reviews to see what owners say about the suction on their vacuums.
Dust Capacity (litres)	2
Amount of dust the machine will take until you need to empty it.
Multifunctional	No
HEPA Filter	Yes
HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air) also known as S-class filters. These reduce the allergy-causing particulates that escape from the vacuum cleaner so are worth getting if you suffer from allergies to things like dust or pet fur.
Dimensions (mm)	352x460x289
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Cable Length (m)	6.5
The length of the cable in meters. Make sure that you get a machine with a long enough cable so that you don’t have to keep plugging and unplugging it into different sockets around your house.
Variable Power	No
Different levels of power are handy to have so that you can use less suction on more delicate surfaces and vice versa.
Colour	Grey
The main colour of the product.

Telescopic extension hoses make cleaning easier as you don’t have to bend or reach so much. But they don’t take up much space to store as they shrink back down again.

Different tools for different types of jobs like skirting boards, fabric, curtains etc. Tools normally include a crevice tool, dusting and upholstery brushes.
Cable Rewind	Yes
Automatically rewinds the cable at the push of a button so that you don’t have to spend ages winding it back up.
