This is by far the best Hoover I've ever owned. It looks good with its metallic red colour on the front and black on the back. It has excellent suction power and works well for picking up pet hairs. The detachable cylinder is so useful for things like hoovering the stairs or taking outside to do the car. It has 7 height adjustments to suit different floor coverings.

This hoover is pretty heavy to carry but not too bad to push. Even the detachable cylinder is rather heavy. This could be a problem for some people. It's also a rather loud hoover.

The detachable canister is quite small and fills up quite fast. However this is very easy to take off, empty and replace.

On the whole, this hoover is very good. It's a bit on the heavy side but a small price to pay for such an efficient hoover. I've been very pleased at the results using this hoover and hope it last many years. I would definitely shop for another Bissell when the time comes.
