I purchased this vacuum from a local retailer on their recommendation and have been thoroughly pleased with my purchase. After having a well known bagless cleaner previously but not able to afford to replace with the same I considered other options with the thought that a less expensive cleaner would mean compromising in some way. I have found this cleaner to be wonderful. We have two long haired dogs but the cleaner picks up with ease. There is a switch on top of the main body of the machine so easily in reach during cleaning which allows for easy on off control of the brushes for changes in floor surfaces. I originall wondered if the capacity of the dust collection compartment would become a pain as it appeared quite small but again i have been pleasantly surprised to find that with it's simple release i actually don't find it a chore to empty and the design means that dust does not fall all around when releasing it. The fact that the central part of the hoover detaches is fantastic for cleaning the stairs and the inside of the car. it stands alone so can be easily moved up and down the stairs as you go. the pipes and tools supplied are adequate no special super duper tools but everything you need to reach high, clean furniture, picture rails skirting boards, curtains etc.
Just so you know i am not a sales person for this machine i have found two points of criticism. The firs being that the whole cleaner can be heavy to carry up stairs but it could be carried in two parts and my second slight complaint is the length of the hose is quite short, this is compensated by the fact that the inner part of the cleaner is easily detachable to carry with you but i sometimes find the length of the hose frustrating.
Overall excellent cleaner, looks good performs well, very pleased. I will not be returning to a more expensive bagless cleaner in the future!!
