Score 7.0/10

+ Great "suck". We like the separate small turbo brush.

- Complicated to put together. Wouldn't like let anyone that can't assemble flatpack furniture do it. Bodywork seems a bit flimsy. Initially had problems trotating the the dust holder open and closed but that seems to have gotten better with a bit of use. Don't like the position of the power switch...foot operated.

+ Absolute fantastic suction, lifts the carpet its that powerful. I've got 2 dogs who shed hair all year and this hoover is brilliant for getting all the hair up. Easy to use very large dust container and good tool storage, would definately recommend this hoover.

- It is quite heavy, especially when doing the stairs but the pipe does reach from bottom to top.

- Tools are poor no angle on stair cleaning tool, animal tool and brush tool making it very difficult to use, in fact took tools of my old Dyson and used them instead.

Score 9.0/10

+ Fantastic suction. Easy to use. Easy to empty. Looks good

- Don't particularly like the position of the on/off switch. I am happy with it being foot operated, but the position is a little awkward, as it's right next to the suction pipe. Also, where the suction hose connects to the base of the hoover is a little awkward, as it easily gets knocked when trying to hoover under the bed or furniture.

- lead no where near long enough so have to unplug regularly to move room to room. very heavy to push around and to carry upstairs as the hose bit can't stretch to do all the stairs. if you have a problem with neighbours be warned....they are likely to report you as a noise nusance - this hoover is seriously LOUD. i have never heard a hoover like it. all that said, its performance far outweighs any bad points, the carpets feel really, really clean.
