This hoover is fab - small, compact, good looking but really powerful. It picks up cat hairs even when not on full power and the additional turbo brush can be used on carpet to pick up any stubborn pet hairs. However there's nowhere on board to store this and the other additional tool- they tend to fall off the hoover when using it, which is a little irritating. However this is the only downside with the hoover. It really is powerful, I haven't had to turn it to full power yet. The cord is really long so you don't need to constantly unplug and plug it in again to do the whole house. It's also very lightweight, so easy to carry up and down stairs. It's also no effort to push around, hoovering is no longer such a chore! Even emptying it is easy and simple. It's also easy to assemble with a clear, easy to understand user-guide.
