I brought this hoover about 8 months ago as it had a a pet head with it. The first time i used it i thought it was fantastic as the pet head really got up all the cat hair. Then After a about 3 weeks the pet head stopped working even after dismantling and putting back together it still wouldn't turn and so had to go back to the original head.

One problem i had with the filters were that they got clogged up very quickly and made the hoover smell terrible even after cleaning the filters every few days as stated in the instructions. I even tried cleaning the filters everyday and the smell still persisted even when i soaked the filters in bleach.

The overall hoover is very flimsy and not sturdy at all. The extension tube that attaches to the hoover is made of plastic and if you put any pressure on it, it bends and feels like it would snap. I had a wheel fall off a few times while trying to use it.

Pros:- Lightweight, easy to move around, Cheap

Cons:- Flimsy extension tube, Loses suction, Filter clogs up after cleaning the house once

Summary: ok little budget hoover
