I bought this for my dad for christmas and was quite disappointed although it is good for getting out quickly if something is spilt or for cleaning the car it only has a six minute charge, this is the case no matter how long it is on charge for so if you have a dirty car to clean you will have to do it in stages, it also takes a while to recharge. It was quite expensive when i purchased it also. The suction on the hoover is good, it is just like a big dyson with alot of power so this does outweigh the bad charge time. easy to empty and obviously as it is a dyson no hoover bags needed also comes with a guarantee so once bought you dont have expense to repair or maintain it. Comes with a mains charger also. Hope this review helps summing up would buy the hoover but not if wanting it for big jobs such as mobile car cleaning.
