Advantages: Relatively lightweight and has a large amount of tools

Disadvantages: short power cord, overheats quickly, needs emptying constantly, loss of suction

We bought this vacuum cleaner 2 years ago when we had just bought our house, we didn't have an overly large amount of money to spend but the fact that this vacuum cleaner was supposed to be £100 and we got it for £75 we thought we'd done well.
It seemed relatively good to start off with the suction seemed to be ok but it didn't last long.
We also found that it only worked properly when the brushes were completely down at which point it started to damage the carpet.
The good points to this vaccum cleaner is that it comes with all the necessary tools you will need.
Another problem I seemed to encounter witht his vacuum cleaner was the fact that it needed to be emptied after every use (may have only been vacuuming 3 rooms which are relatively small).
If we chanced using the vacuum cleaner on all 3 floors of the house after 4 rooms it would start to smoke and the smell very unplesanet and it will have also overheated.
Also the cord of the vacuum cleaner was relatively short.
Overall I have had a very bad experience with this vacuum cleaner and have opted for a dyson and I will never go back!

Summary: Do not buy this vacuum cleaner.
