val, newcastle upon tyne

+ Excellent suction and good at removing dog hairs which is why I bought it anyway. Very pleased with all accessories that came with it - extremely good value for money compared to the brand I previously favoured (dyson). Perfect for cleaning the car also.

- Can't think of any.

+ Lightweight and stable. The hose that stretches all the way up the stairs is good.

- The fact that there are various pipes and heads that you have to manually change depending on what type of vacuum cleaning you are doing

+ Extremely easy to handle, flexible to use (excellent for stairs), & very effective at cleaning.

+ Turbo brush gets up alot of the dirt and hair that other vacuums seem to have trouble with.
Easy to handle, lightweight and very easy to empty.
Good additional tools.

- Hair and dirt collects very quickly on the turbo brush and this requires attention very early on (we've only used the vaccuum about 5 times and it needs clearing already.

Sawsan , Southampton

+ Very powerful vacuum that managed to get dust from deep under the carpet - pets hair as well.

- I would have prefered the flexi hose - stairs - as the permanent one to use instead of the other shorter one that you must use for daily use. This is because it is flexi, manouvedrable and most importantly longer.
You have to carry it to where you want to clean, you can't drag it.
Storage of other parts is not practical.
