We bought this hoover from Asda having just moved into our first flat and regretted it straight away. Firsly, you have to put it together yourself which took quite a long time and was, I thought, quite un-necessary. As soon as we switched it on the vents at the front started blowing the dust we were trying to hoover up away from the hoover (we have wooden floors). The only way to counter this was to invent a new manouvere whereby you have the cleaner facing the other way from the dust and you turn around quickly to get it. A dust ambush! It seems a little strange that this hoover has been branded a "Pet Lover" as I would imagine pet hair is just as likely to be blown about the place by this useless cleaner as dust is, unless they mean that your pet would love having its hair everywhere? They forgot to put that part on the box. I would suggest buying a £25 Sainsburys own brand vacuum cleaner as we now have unless you want to spend the rest of your life hoovering.
