Ok, full disclosure, I always buy cheap vacuum cleaners, so I can’t compare this to the more expensive brands. I can judge this nifty hoover on it’s own merits. First off I’m a full-time carer so I’m always cleaning up mess. When you’re exhausted, however, the last thing you want to do is plug in the hoover and cart it around. This vacuum appealed to me because it takes the hassle out of hoovering. It’s lightweight, can transform quickly into a handheld cleaner and most importantly, it’s cordless. In this instance the manufacturers claims are justified. The charge gives you around 55 minutes of cleaning which is enough for me to do the whole house. It is in no way cumbersome and easy to manoeuvre. Lightweight enough for vacuuming not to feel like a chore and works well on both carpet and hard floors, although the performance is slightly better on carpet. I’ve cleaned the stairs with the handheld part of the vacuum and was amazed at the debris it picked up. You do have to empty it frequently but that’s easy to do. The filter is easy to clean with a bit of water and left to dry but I can’t find extra filters for sale anywhere. Hopefully this won’t be needed. Then there’s the suction, which is impressive, although slightly better on larger pieces of debris. This is no big deal however, as the cleaning power of this vacuum is still excellent.One more thing: register your warranty online – there is a leaflet inside the product box telling you how. This will give you an extra year’s coverage, just in case anything goes wrong with your vacuum cleaner. It’s good for the environment and good for your pocket! The extended warranty and the performance of the cleaner makes this a great value buy.

This vacuum is definitely for smaller properties as the tank isn’t very large, but I live in a bungalow so it’s perfect for me. It has 2 power settings and I’ve found the first setting to be enough for 90% of the work, and on this setting it’s very quiet. The second power setting has noticeably more suction, but it’s also much louder, which may scare pets (it did mine).I have a severe back condition and even for me I find it lightweight and easy to use, although if you’re tall like I am the handle is pretty short, which results in me having to bend over a little when using it. I would say if you’re 6ft or less you should be okay.The battery isn’t the best, you’re looking at about 60 minutes on the lowest power setting, but it’s easily charged and I’ve never run out mid clean. I also empty the tank after each clean as it fills up very quickly.Overall for the price I’m very happy, I’ve only had it for about a month so I can’t speak to the longevity or build quality, but for now it’s great.

I’ve waited a few weeks before reviewing this product because I wanted to give it a good testing to see how it performs, and I can honestly say it’s great. I thought a DustBuster on a stick wouldn’t be very good at sucking anything up, but I was wrong, it’s really very good. It has two speeds, low and high, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find I do everything I need on the first speed (low) I bought this for my kitchen, I have Lino and my regular hoover is a bit too strong for it and keeps lifting it off the floor, so I thought one of these to just quickly whizz around would be ideal, and I was right, it’s excellent, I actually whizz around everywhere with it in between normal hooverings. It’s very light, the battery life is good, it’s got a light on the foot part, it’s super easy to empty and it detaches to use as a handheld vacuum for the stairs, It also stands up by itself, no propping up and having it fall over. It’s really fantastic. One negative about my buying experience though…this is my second one, the first one I recieved was faulty, someone had already had it, it had been used and wouldn’t work after being fully charged, so had to get it returned and a replacement was sent the next day, but it disappointed me so much, I was buying a brand new product at full price, not something from Amazon warehouse, so that took the excitement off a bit. Nevertheless, I’d recommend this product to anyone.

I’m so impressed with this little cleaner.It is infinitely better than my Dyson.I particularly like….The lights on the front which enable you to see in dark corners.The length of the charge which enables you to do a lot before running out.How fast charges again by comparison with my other machine.How easy it is to take apart.The fact that the dust cylinder is situated at the base of the machine which makes it easier than a cylinder at the top of the stick because I have problems with my back and shoulder.It cleans well without being difficult to push.The actual brush width is wider than the one on my Dyson too.It stands up on its own which means it does not necessarily need to be wall mounted.It feels like a solid quality item.The price point is absolutely amazing value.Time will tell of course but so far so good.I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We’ve had an old Henry for years and I’ve spent many a moment frustratingly hauling his heavy red body around the house, watching him get stuck on every door post, looking at me insolently as I desperately try to pull him over the transition from carpet to laminate. I have arthritis and a host of other mobility issues which are just bad enough for something like vacuuming to be much more of a chore than it should be, so I decided to help myself out by getting something much lighter and cordless. I’m not going to lie, I was unduly excited when it arrived and I charged it immediately. It was really easy to put together, everything just slots where it looks like it ought to go, and it started charging without issue. The next day I used it all over the house, which isn’t huge but is still 7 rooms, without it losing any power at all. It glides like a dream and after using a big clunky vacuum and then the Henry hoover, which was pretty good on the suction front but was basically an abomination in red, it was delightful to be able to actually easily push a vacuum around for 40 mins without getting tired and hurting my hands. It’s very manoeuvrable, you can angle the head around corners and table legs and under sofas with ease and it glides very well over laminate, carpet and lino. The only thing it doesn’t do as well as a heavier duty vacuum is pick up a lot of hair. It gets some, especially from the smoother surfaces, but on carpet it didn’t always pick it up. I and my husband both have very long hair and we shed like alsatians so we do get a lot of hair build up on the carpet, but we just use a brush to accumulate it and pick it up and throw it away. If you have pets and they routinely shed everywhere you might want something a bit more powerful. But if like me you just need something to zip around an average home without breaking your back or tripping to your death whilst trying to get it up the stairs then this is well worth the purchase, and it is very good for the price. It also folds down at the top to take up less space and I’ve found it easy to empty and clean. The smaller dustbuster you can remove also works well for the hard to reach places and the stairs. Noise wise, it’s the same as any vacuum but there’s two settings so you can have it on low if you want it to be less loud. My bird screams at it slightly less than he does the Henry. It holds its charge well so far, I used it a long time the first time and then a few quick run rounds after before needing to recharge it. It shows in the front in lights when it’s running low which is handy. It comes with a years guarantee if you run into any issues (you can change this to two years registering online). I would highly recommend this vacuum and am not ashamed of the inordinate amount of pleasure I get from pushing its light weight around without pain shooting up my back and wrists. The only thing that’s slightly strange is the lights on the head, they’re quite bright and I can’t think of anywhere in our house that’s really dark enough to warrant them but I suppose if you get up in the middle of the night and fancy a cheeky clean theyre quite useful 😂

For the price this is a really good versatile hoover. A charge gives plenty of time to clean a number of rooms. We use it in a 41ft caravan and it will do at least three complete cleans on one charge. Very light and manoeuvrableCollection area is a bit small and filter gets covered fairly quickly but overall not a prob as we clean out after each useWould recommend for a smallish area

Very impressed with this vacuum cleaner. Bought it to keep upstairs for the bedrooms to make life easier. Good suction. Hardest bit was getting it out of the box, so well packaged!

I recommend this product to anyone, its really versatile which is a must when your moving around objects.Suction is surprisingly very good, but you have to make sure you empty the dust collector when full and to wash the filter as per instructions. Pics up pet hairs really well. When I use it I empty the dust collector every time and give the filter a gentle tap over the bin, and then use a piece of kitchen paper to wipe off anything thats left on it. By far, this is the best cordless Vac I have used.
