Advantages: hardwearing (supposedly)
Disadvantages: Mine broke
This is the girly pink version of the much loved henry hoover.
Comes complete with a set of tools and a funky pink bag to store them in a set of big eyes and 5 hoover bags.
There is a high power button for those stubborn bits of muck that just wont come up on normal speed.
I purchased one of these in March this year expecting it to last at least five years after becoming disillusioned with Dyson.
As a domestic goddess I use these (obviously not the pink version!)at work all of the time and have been known to drag them up and down the place upside down, trap the cord in doors ect.
Imagine my horror when after hardly using mine after just 6 months it conked out, luckily the hoover was still under warranty(it is 2 years)
I have now got a brand new one but am a bit worried now perhaps I should have gone for the male version after all.
As I only have laminate flooring in my house and I only hoover once a week I just cannot see what went wrong??
Any ideas??
Summary: hoping for better this time around or getting my dosh back

- 05/10/09 These machines aren't indestructible and certainly perhaps the ones you have at work are older, Made in Britain - current Numatics are sometimes made in China so the newer ones can fail more. Also another inherent weakness could be burst paper bags which happen inside the canister due to the high suction. Once the dust gets past the Microtex/Tex filter ring and into the motor, it can be detrimental.
T his could be alleviated by buying the HEPA FLO bags which are material disposable and don't get ripped by the strong force of suction. |
