Advantages: Very light and quick to use

Disadvantages: Handle could do with being longer

I bought one of these when I was pregnant and couldn't face getting the hoover out everyday. Its great as its light and picks up all the little bits you get which don't really warrant getting the hoover out for. I give the lounge a quick run around every morning and then again as and when needed.

I bought it in Argos for £9.79 and it was money well spent. It was cheaper than a lot of other makes.

You have to put the pole together but they just screw into each other and is very simple to do, you also receive a comb with it to untangle any hair in the brushes and this clips onto the handle for storage.

My daughter (6) even likes using this and always runs it around for me as it is very light for her to use.

It has twin emptying dustpans underneath which is very easy to tip into the dustbin.

The only downside to this is that the handle is not very long, I am 5'10" and think it would be good if they gave you a couple of extra pieces for the pole so you could choose what hight you want it to be.

Summary: great for a quick run round rather than getting the hoover out
