I have to say that I hate the Hoover Hurricane and am off to buy something else!
Now two weeks out of warranty it has finally given up the ghost. The belt has broken...again and the telescopic handle button has cracked so it can't extend and I am left leaning over the machine. The filters are useless and it overheats on a regular basis. Fluff collects in the front of the machine around the brush and then gets spat out all over the place. The attachments are the worst I have ever used, there are only two of them and both are pretty useless. The tiny brush on the crevice tool is a complete waste of time and broke within two weeks.
It scratches my hard floors on the 'hard floor' setting and doesn't clean carpets properly. Finally it is very unstable, falling over on numerous occasions causing damage to furniture and bruises to me!
MY ADVICE TO YOU IS PLEASE DON'T BUY IT....YOU WILL REGRET IT AND WILL HATE IT AS MUCH AS I DO!!!!
