Advantages: Good suction

Disadvantages: Collection pot too small, and difficult to empty

I picked this hoover up from Argos about 18 months ago, in the sale at 50% reduced. The big problem with this Hoover is the tiny collection pot, of only 2.0 L. This needs emptying every other time I Hoover the house, and it is not the biggest of houses. Also it is quite a process to empty the pot, as you need to remove the whole pot, and then take the lid off, find somewhere to put it, while you remove the filter, and again find somewhere suitable to place it, before emptying out the contents. Having said that, I do think that one of the reasons it needs emptying so often is that it does pick up the dust, crumbs, hairs etc. extremely well. The electrical lead is only 6m long, and could do with being a little, well, a lot longer, and it could also be improved if it was an automatically retracting one. One other problem to me, is the weight of it, it is really heavy and bulky, and is a struggle for my other half to carry up and down the stairs. Not worth the RRP, but ok for the price I paid, would suit a bungalow better due to the weight.

Summary: Not all that great
