jen, derby

+ excellent in a small house with a combination of wooden floors, rugs and carpets - easily switches beteen settings and tools. very easy to use. good for vacuunming the stairs and hard to reach areas. self-rewinding cable a good time-saving feature.

- Hose easily becomes bent near to front of the machine, trapping suction when changing direction. Not as compact to store as first thought

+ it's easy to operate, light to carry and brilliant for cleaning the stairs. Ideal for small houses.

- The dust container is a little smaller than the upright, so needs to be emptied a little more often, but it doesn't prove to be a major problem

+ Powerful vacuum, good accessories

- Hose does not rotate as you go, so often 'kinks' and loses suction until you twist it free

Sharon, Aberdeen

+ Easy to use - improved mechanism for emptying.

- Compared to previous models the flexible hose is less robust and susceptible to kinking which results in loss of suction.

Becky, Milton under Wychwood

+ It's very powerful and it's a real 'eye opener' to be able to see the dust it picks up.

- The red strips across the bottom of the large head and the small attachment started to peel off and curl and the edges virtually straight away.
