Advantages: Powerful and good looking

Disadvantages: Faulty clips on hose attachment, too heavy

When our vacuum cleaner started falling apart last year, we decided to look for a new one with stronger motor power as this was our single most complaint from the previous one. We did our research in the stores and checked out the Argos store manual and bought it at a good price of £70. I have been using this cleaner for over a year now.

As we expected, this vacuum cleaner has a lot of power and the variable speed control is great. The attachments are also very useful allowing you to clean all types of surfaces and furniture in the home. My wife finds it especially useful in the kitchen in scooping out food particles around corners and crevices.

The cleaner is very good looking and looks like a sports car and sometimes sounds like one as well!!

On the flip side, it is very heavy and you really feel the weight when you are doing the stairs. I generally have to give my arms a rest every 5-6 steps and balance the cleaner on the steps.

The clips on the hose attachment broke in 3 months after purchase and, and I think this happened due to the weight of the cleaner and the strain on the clips as you are wheeling the cleaner around.

Summary: Overall, the product has not lived up to our expectations.
