Anonymous verified purchaser , “Busy mum or dad”

+ Looks great and the suction is really strong. A good job that it's got adjustable suction as we have to run ours at around 50% most of the time. We'd had our eye on this model for a while and when it came on C-Discount at this price we grabbed one straight away.

- The rounded edges on the suction head make it a little difficult to get into corners, but the strength of the suction gets the dirt anyway.

Product Features

Shape	Sledge
Type of Dust Container	Bagged
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.
Dust Capacity (litres)	4
Amount of dust the machine will take until you need to empty it.
Multifunctional	No
Noise Level in Decibels	78
Measures how loud the machine is. For quieter machines, look for models with a noise level under 60 decibles.
HEPA Filter	Yes
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.
Variable Power	Yes
Different levels of power are handy to have so that you can use less suction on more delicate surfaces and vice versa.

Different tools for different types of jobs like skirting boards, fabric, curtains etc. Tools normally include a crevice tool, dusting and upholstery brushes.
