Julia, Solihull , “Fun Happy Go Lucky”

+ Had a Dyson which lasted 11yrs (still slightly going) but they are soooo expensive, I thought I'd have a change. I am very pleased with the vacuum, I've decided to call it Bob? Excellent sucking power, I'm sure we had a hamster? Great for all floors, I have a deep pile rug and couldn't believe how much muck the rug had devoured. Extra length of hose comes in handy when doing the stairs. Didn't think that it would get close enough to furniture but it does. Overall it's a very good vacuum and I would recommend it.

- Extremely heavy for a 5ft 4" wimp, I now have one bicep twice the size of the other. I thought the bin having the one touch open thingy on it would save all the hassle of me getting dusty and having to drag the rubbish out but it hasn't (could just be my machine...could just be me?). I have found that using the hose without the extension, the vacuum has a tendancy to topple onto me (thus giving me concussion but thats fine because the fact that it sucks up everything in sight compensates for that) but using it with the hose extension and forward facing the vacuum the balance of the vacuum is good. It's quite noisy but that really isn't a bad point if it drowns out moaning children!

+ Better suction that the Dyson upright it replaced. Has a light on the front which is good for under the furniture. Extension hose brush-head is very effective on the stairs.

- Heavier than the Dyson upright. Extension hose does not have an 'on the vac' storage place.

Sam, North East , “Cat owner.”

+ Chord rewind. Great for stairs. Great suction,. An overall excellant machine but very very heavy.

- Very Heavy. Switch is just in the wrong place on the handle, I often switch it on/off my mistake, and the chord is too low. But that is being really picky.

- A little on the heavy side, but the suction power more than compensates!

Steve, London

+ Very good suction and is better than the dyson for performance. Attachment for the stair is very good as well. Removing and re-attaching the container better than the Dyson. The overall performance is very good and would recommend over the Dyson and there are minor improvements which would improve the overall rating.

- Extension to hose for stairs needs to be kept separate as there is no place to keep it on the VAX. Hose extension not easy to attach due to proximity of pipe attachments. Collected dust not always easy to empty when it gets trapped above the plastic guard in the container.
