+ The hose attaches to the top of the cylinder body and rotates through 360 degrees. You can alter the suction power easily. In my opinion it is a well thought out design that works and it performs well too.

- No problems worked perfectly straight out of the box.

Bill, London

Score 9.0/10

+ Very well made cleaner, and very powerful. Particularly like the disposable synthetic dust bags which are much better than the paper or reusable ones. For some reason, Electrolux have only made a few of their cleaners with this option, which is a shame. This is terrific if you suffer from alergies. Also comes with a turbo brush which is superb for doing stairs and upholstery. Great value for money.

- The power cable is hilariously short. Electrolux obviously have tried to save a few quid on this. I have to use an extention cable to get around some of my flat. Also the plastic hose is a bit short too, could do with a couple of extra feet.
