Advantages: Bagless with washable filters.

Disadvantages: Big and bulky.

This upright vacuum cleaner weighs 7.7k ~ and has a long cord at 6.6m.
The collection capacity is 2.8l. and it is 2000 watt.
Has Hepa filtration system with permanent washable filters so no need to replace them.

It has a 13ft cleaning hose attached making it a cylinder/upright,
And comes complete with floor and carpet brush, crevice tool and dusting brush which attach at the back of the vacuum.
The cord is wound on at the back too,and it comes in a silver and turquoise colour.

This isn't the best looking Vacuum and I think it's quite bulky looking,
It is really good for laminate flooring as it glides across easy enough and does a good job round the wall edges and corners,
but it's not so good on rugs or carpets,

You have to put a bit of effort in, especially if you have any pets, my mum has a cat and I have to go over and over to get the rug clean,

Mum doesnt have stairs and even though it is extra lightweight, because of its bulk I reckon it would be awkward to lift up and down especially for the older person, Its quite noisy too but not too bad.

Overall it is light and easy to move around with easy to use controls and good if you have laminate or wood flooring but not as good on carpets or rugs.
It is also bagless which saves money.

Sells new at around £150.
reconditioned for around £70.

Summary: Dont waste your money.
