Advantages: Light, Easy to Use, 1800w, Very Cheap

Disadvantages: Not Great for the Heavy Handed

I haven't had this very long so it's not really fair of me to make any grand claims about this but so far, I've been really impressed with this.

I got change from £40 when I bought this which I thought was amazing for a hoover that's rated four stars both on dooyoo and on Amazon too. You can buy it from either Amazon or Tesco so it's probably widely available in general and worth looking out for.

What attracted me to this was the price to be honest. We needed a new upstairs vacuum as the Mrs insists on having one up and one down. The one she was looking at was £80 so I thought this was a real find and the Mrs agreed it was worth giving a go considering how well it rated in the reviews and that it was 1800w, 200w more than the £80 one my Mrs had been looking at.

The suction on this has been excellent to date. There's even a control so you can turn the suction down which is excellent for the Mrs as she likes to hoover curtains and the like (women, huh).

The only problem I've had with this is that I have to remember to be gentle with it because it's amazing light and small for a vacuum. When it was delivered at first I wasn't even sure it was the vacuum because the package was so small! Moving something so light across the floor is easy to get carried away with and the problem with that is you don't get all the dirt up if you don't make the effort to really push the vacuum head down and make it harder work than it feels like it should be.

The retractable plug is handy and the bag is easy to change. There's even a reusable bag included in this so you don't have to keep buying new ones! I have to go for five stars for this because I don't think there's better to be had with change from £40.
