    Advantages Advantages Excellent suction

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Over-heats and cuts out too easily

    The cleaning power of this machine is excellent with 4 settings depending on the thickness of carpet. It comes with all the usual attachments- 2 types of brushs, 2 extensions, approximatly 3 metres of hose and 6 metres of mains cable, which are all tucked neatly onto the back of the machine. Emptying and cleaning the bagless container is easy. Simply remove the front cover by pushing down the small lever on the front of the machine and remove the container. This needs to be cleaned every month by washing it out, then leaving it to dry for 24 hrs.The heppa filter ( underneith the container) ... more

    Advantages Advantages 4 carpet thickess setting, red, no bag, fittings

    Disadvantages Disadvantages falls over, cuts out, gets broken

    We have had this vacuum cleaner for 2 years, and we bought it as a treat, to make life easy as it is a hoover (big brand name) we thought it would be designed well and built accordingly, however, it wasn't and we are living with the weekly pain of using it (we are too mean to buy something else that might be as bad). Plus points It has the hoover option of adjusting the height of the base, from thin to luxury carpet, which does work well. It has the hose attached, making it easy to do the stairs. The tools are carried around, so should be easy to use on textiles etc (but see below). The hose ... more

    Advantages Advantages Stylish looks, good tools, height adjustment

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Died after 4 months, you can't get a bigger disadvantage than that...

    I don't like writing bad reviews, but this one has to be done, to prevent anybody else making the mistake I did, in buying the Dust Manager... Well, in 2008 we had a bad year with vacuum cleaners, and after the Argos Bagless upright vacuum dying due to bad wiring (went on fire more specifically), we needed a new vacuum, and after having a look on the internet, I saw the Hoover Dust Manager for about £100, and thought I couldn't go wrong with a Hoover, since they invented the vacuum cleaner! How wrong could I be! When we first got it, it came well packaged in a box, and after hooking it up to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lightweight, excellent pick up, edge cleaning,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hose not quite long enough, gets full very quickly

    I purchased this vacuum cleaner approximately four months ago. I chose it mainly because I felt that the brand was trustworthy, and because it was bagless, although the gold flecks in the casing made it aesthetically pleasing too. I have found this product to do exactly what it claims to do - it cleans both carpets and hard floors excellently and the tools are suited to a wide range of jobs. It is also very light, and I have no difficulty carrying it around the house. However, the hose is not long enough - it reaches to eleven stairs in my house - when there are thirteen in total. Also the ... more

    Advantages Advantages long hose

    Disadvantages Disadvantages throws dust out everywhere

    This is a complete waste of a vacuum cleaner. The dust container does not hold the dust in and most of it blows out the exhaust. The seals leak from around the dust container and especially bad with cat fur which just blocks up the filters after one carpet vacuum.Its an appalling design. It makes silly noises and the front cover is far too flimsy to take knocks. The rest of the cleaner is sturdy.The filters block up and u just end up in a mess. My advise is don't bother with this. Hoover you must try harder. I've had a bagged one one of similar design and i shall be going back to that one. At ... more
