+ Handle can go up and down, good for storage in under stairs cupboard. Not as heavy as some hoovers.

- Cable could be a lot longer, far too short. Would prefer on/off switch to be at height level. When doing stairs, hose does not reach the top - the hose is stretched to the limit, plus the hoover is falling over.

melanie , ILFORD ESSEX

+ The good points are that is not too heavy, easy to use, and has no bags.

- It is not very solid, and probably will not last a couple of years, the handle is quite loose, the comparment for the dirt to go in is not very solid, very plasticky, and hard to get everything out of it. I have tried other makes, and they seem to more solid, and the handle folds down, which makes it easier to carry.

Product Features
