Advantages: Design and colour, suction

Disadvantages: Breaks very easy and not reliable

Not long ago I purchased this hoover from Next online, seeing as it was the Hoover make I thought I was on to a good thing, it cost £79.99 and was more trouble than it was worth.

Good Points: The hoover is a lovely red colour and as a hoover looks very attractive to be sitting around your house inbetween chores. The hoover itself does have very good suction and easily picks up all the cat hairs, it seems a very powerful machine and appears to have more power behind it than some of my previous hoovers.

Bad Points: Unfortunately with this hoover the bad points far outweigh the good points. Firstly I have to mention that it is quite a heavy hoover to be pushing around, so a good amount of strength is needed to use it. After having the hoover fo less than a month the adjustable handle snapped and broke off, I was given a replacement handle and all was ok for a while. Then soon after the whole bottom panel of the hoover broke off, this included the wheels and everything underneath. Using it then obviously became impossible so it then needed to be replaced.

Considering this hoover was from the Hoover brand I was expecting far more out of this hoover, having to replace a hoover after a couple months really is poor for a trusted brand.

Summary: I would not recommend this hoover, I expected better
