+ It's heavy and doesn't fall over at the slightest touch/movement and mark/damage walls and furniture like the Hoover it replaced. It has a large capacity unlike the Hoover which needs emptying regularly during a clean. It has a good range of tools and copes well with cat hair.

- Should the cable rewind fail (its spring loaded so will eventually) there is nowhere to store the cable and it's situated at the bottom of the machine which is inconvenient when using the cleaner.

Louise, Huntingdon

+ Great all round product, had a vax before. Suction is good, you can switch the brush bar off also when it stands upright the brush bar stops spinning unlike other hoovers. The cylinder is easy to empty and great to have filters that dont need replacing.

- Not too bad a point its a bit heavy to carry and be careful when using the hose as if you dont stretch it properly the hoover tends to fall over, otherwise its perfect.

+ This vacuum has excellent suction and contrary to other comments is not any heavier than other models.
The tools are great and conveniently placed on the cleaner.One tip when cleaning the stairs make sure
the cleaner is up against the bottom step to stop it falling when you stretch the hose.This cleaner is great value for money and far better than the Dyson I had previous.

- The hook on the handle to hold the cable could be more prominent

+ Easy to use after putting together. great design on nozzle to take off and on. Great suction, looks good too. Great little gadget for cleaning the car.

- Surprised at how heavy it is to lift up and down the stairs. Don't think the emptying is that easy. Fluff gathers around and you have to take it apart to get all the dust out. Although it only takes a few minutes to do.

+ The suction this cleaner produces is great - due to it's varied settings for high or low pile carpets.

- When cleaning the stairs, with the nozzle, it does have a tendency to topple over if not positioned correctly ie cushioned up against the bottom step with the pipes facing the stairs. The power cable can sometimes not retract properly on the first try - but on 2nd or 3rd goes it does retract quickly. (I'd much rather have the cables tidy and inside the machine, than have to wind the cable myself)

Stefan, Northampton

+ This is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used - so much better than a Dyson. I just love the option to switch the brushes 'on' or 'off'. Furthermore the extra attachments are awesome too, especially the 'brush' which wizzes round as you clean. It was very easy to assemble too, instructions were clear and simple.

- Nothing really apart from being 'heavy', however that seems to be most common with the bagless type of vacuum cleaners these days.

Laureen, Scarborough, North Yorkshire

+ Has very good suction and picks up very well.
The small hand tool is very useful.
I really like the light on the front.
It can be used on hard floor surfaces as well as different carpet thicknesses.
The cord rewind is useful.

- It is extremely heavy compared to our previous vacuum, I got armache due to the heaviness and the suction being very strong.
It is a bit fiddly having to manually adjust the brushes to suit the length of carpet/type of floor as you are vacuuming.
Whilst I thought having a cord rewind was useful, it is situated very low down and the cord drags on the floor in front of you and needs to constantly be lifted out of the way.
