Lightweight and compact but at no compromise to performance. I have laminate flooring throughout the house and it cleans quickly and efficiently. Also, easy to pick up and use for cobwebs as is nice and light. Tools well designed and quick to change, casing is of sturdy robust plastic and dust container is easy to empty. Very impressed.

Would have liked a slightly longer cable, but can work around that.

It's pretty small and easy to pull around. It looks alright - if hoovers do it for you.
-
It doesn't suck very well and needs to be emptied all the time to try to keep any suction. The tube is made of quite thin plastic and so really flexes when you push it along - it'll probably break within a year - a metal one would be much better. It isn't really a great hoover at all.

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.

|
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.

|
HEPA Filter

|
No
|
|
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.

Different levels of power are handy to have so that you can use less suction on more delicate surfaces and vice versa.

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.
