Advantages: Bagless, ingenious emptying method

Disadvantages: Heavy

This was the first upright I had every owned, and purchased to replace a troublesome Dyson.

I was impressed with the appearance of this machine - super stylish, and did not look out of place standing in the living room (for want of nowhere to put an upright!). It did the job much better than I had expected and I was well pleased with it.

After using for a couple of months I decided that looks were not everything; the casing was not so sturdy as it looked, and the bottom cable clip snapped - back to the shop for an exchange!

The second model performed brilliantly for about 3 months, and then became super noisy and the motor blew up. Maybe you just get what you pay for - I paid less than £100 for this machine. Maybe I was expecting too much.

Big advantage of the machine was the wind-down emptying method - never got dirty hands, never had to touch the dust.

I just wish it had lasted a bit longer, because on the face of it this would appear to be a great machine.

Summary: Motor blew up after about 3 months - this was the 2nd machine I had had.
