Patricia, Chiclana de la Frontera , “I live in Spain”

+ It's very lightweight compared with other bagless cleaners making it very easy to maneouvre.
The turbo brush is ideal for those difficult to move cat and dog hairs.
The long hose makes it easy to reach without having to move the vacuum cleaner closer.

- When stretching the hose to reach it pulls the vacuum cleaner over unless someone can hold the cleaner while one is reaching with the hose.

Margaret, Cambridge , “Retired” More like this »

+ Very efficient machine. I like the fact that it is bagless, and it is easy to empty.

- Electric cord comes out at the bottom of the machine and is quite easy to tread on. The handle is a bit wobbly - I know it's because it comes apart and is telescopic but the fact that it wobbles bothers me.

Sarah, Norfolk

+ Powerful so good for removing pet hair. I have always owned Dyson's but this performance wise is equally as good.

- The handle is adjustable and removable, but because of this it moves slightly as you use it to push the hoover. Feels like you don't have total control.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “dog lover and 64”

+ Reviewer left no comment

- not64 very easy to empty when there are dog hairs, they get stuck round the inner coloumn and you have to clear them by hand, but at least it REALLY picks them up, also the hard extension part is too short, but its a value product so one does not expect everything to be perfect.

Sandra, Gloucestershire , “I'm a "Saga" lady”

+ Bagless enables the contents to be disposed of easily - in the composter.

- Looking at the ad on the Internet it looked as though the cord was retractable. It isn't. Having to wind up the cord after each use is inconvenient and the cord gets in the way of general operation. I would recommend Hoover produce a cordless upright bagless vacuum cleaner.

+ Very strong suction, leaves carpets looking great, easy to empty. Extra long hose for stairs which recoils neatly when stored after use.

- Small nozzle isn't that good for stairs as it takes ages to vacuum with it - I will probably have to buy another (bigger) tool from Hoover. Adjustable handle is ok but moves very slightly when hoovering.

Laura, Coventry

+ Very light to lift and move around.
Very powerful suction, actually lifted the carpet from the floor boards and you could see the lines where the hoover had been.
Easy to remove the container with the dust to empty it.
Handle retracts to allow you to store in a small (ish) space.

- None

+ Very good suction at 210 air watts where a dyson has 240 but for more than twice the price. Cleans the stairs in one go, is fairly lightweight and is easy to store. Very pleased with performance so far. Washable filter is excellent not to mention simple.

- Advertised with pet hair 'turbo' brush but this is not included as standard and costs about an extra £30. Dust canister is quite small and requires emptying practically after every use, but not a major problem.
