Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Poor design and build quality

I agree with the previous reviewer. The design is terrible. The flimsy bit of plastic holding the telescopic handle in place snapped after less than 20 uses of the machine (mostly with the handle not even extended).

So I need a replacement handle. OK, I go to the Hoover Spares web site and they don't even list this model of cleaner!

Another design flaw is the power cable, which enters the machine very low down. This means constant bending to lift the cable out of the way.

And the filters are not at all easy to clean without getting all the filtered dust etc straight in your face.

All in all a cheap bit of rubbish, not worthy of the Hoover name. Dyson here I come. (And there is maybe also a lesson here about not buying special offer electrical goods from Tesco. If it seems very cheap it probably is - and not in a good way.)
