A great hoover for suction and very easy to manoeuvre as it has the ball, however this is needed as it is quite a bit heavier than my old hoover ,the dyon dc04.

It has very good edge cleaners and really does hoover right up to edge and the brush bar can easily be turned off which is ideal when hoovering long pile carpets or rugs and for wooden flooring.

Emptying the contents is also very easy as you just press a release button and the bottom opens out, so keeps mess to a minimum.

However I have found the foot release pedal ,to recline the hoover for normal hoovering ,is quite stiff and not easy to use without shoes on. Also the hose only just reaches the top of my stairs, with a struggle, and the tools are angled and a little difficult to use.

So if you dont mind a little bit of hard work it does give very good results and I would recommend it.
