Advantages: Value for money; easy to store

Disadvantages: short extension to pole; difficult for using on stairs

I bought this product from Tesco for about £45 roughly 2 years ago. As a student at the time with only 1 room to clean, it didn't get much use. However now living in a house, I have noticed that it doesn't suck up as much dirt as I would like.

It did, however, come with some useful attachments: a crevice tool that doubles as a little brush and a small standard shaped head (useful for soft furnishings).

It doesn't sit well on stairs, so makes vacuuming the stairs awkward. The regular standard head has a built in brush, but it doesn't stay out, you have to keep pressing it out.

It has a extending pole, which is quite sturdy, however it doesn't extend very far. It's fine for me at 5'6", but not for a 6'2" man.

My over all opinion is that you get what you pay for. It's good for what I paid for it, but probably better paying a little bit extra for a better quality one.

Summary: If you've got the money, pay a little bit more for better quality.
