+ very easy and straight forward to use, the suction is amazing and is much better than a friends dyson hoover i had borrowed! i love the fact you can change the power of the suction on the machine and it is the best hoover i have used for a while!!! as i am on a tight budget, it was a good cheap buy! impressed so far! not too heavy, and just right for my needs (family home)

- when hooverig, the little blighter keeps falling over when i try to turn around!!! other than that it is a good little hoover! the bagless bit could be easier to empty as all i have hoovered gets stuck inside. other than that All good!
