Advantages: Lightweight

Disadvantages: Flimsy

It is a very light weight hoover, so suitable for people who struggle to lift a weightier vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately it is a real nightmare to put together. I wasn't sure at first that the item in the box was acutally a hoover! You will need the instructions to put the unit together. You will also need a philips screwdriver and they do not give you one in the box to use.

Once you have put it together and plugged it in, it is very easy to push and use, apart from when you decide to try and use the tools on the hose. Out came the instructions again! I can't say I've ever had to use the instructions with a hoover before, but this unit just didn't seem logical at all.

It is tricky to unclip the hose and when I finally managed it, I broke the little door that covers the port on the base.

Time to dismantle and take it back to the shop for a refund!

Summary: I'm sure that there are better quality hoovers on the market for the same price.
