Advantages: great suction, simple design and proven reliability

Disadvantages: well Guys, don't tell your mates you've got one

Now, I've had a run of bad-luck with vacum cleaners breaking-down after only a few months use - Dyson, Hoover, Pannasonic, Vax all as unreliable as the next.. that was until I met little Miss Pink-Hetty who is a small industrial miracle.. if real she'd make a super housewife - cleans all day long without a whimper or rest-break! It was chance brought us together, Mr Red-Henry was sold-out but let's just say it's nice to have a woman's touch about the house! Her 1200 watt motor is more than adequate to tackle any floor-surface; tile, wood, rugs or deep-pile carpet. I prefer the bag over bagless-cylinder too, a little old-fashioned maybe but it's a simple proven design with really very little compromise to convenience.
Some other Hetty facts:
Made in Great Britain - yay!
Installed with 'AutoSave' low energy system - two power settings offer upto 50% energy reduction - ideal for light-tasks!
Easily manouverable, stays upright even with the firmest tug - stores away neatly
Low-noise level is another great Hetty bonus - I'm still traumatised from childhood experiences of Mum's Hoover making as much noise as a Jet-aircraft taking-off!
Hose length is just right but no small hose-tool accessories, which I would never use anyway so don't miss not having.
Easy to store away - the art of living in a flat is storage, Hetty fits into a standard broom-cupboard quite easily next to the ladder, golf clubs and ironing board.
Changing the bag when full is very simple - the whole filter system too couldn't be easier to inspect via the lift-off head, er, I mean lid! With a power-rewind cable and as many hose accessories you could need I think Hetty has got the lot - and she's kinda cute too! Great value and vacuming is just more fun and reliable again! Cost £88 B&Q

Summary: Value and performance in a cute female-form, who'd have thought it!
