Hoover S 48 WW Handy 2 Wet&dry

Advantages: It's great! Cable-free, rechargable, handy-sized, portable, efficient!
Disadvantages: You may grumble at battery life dwindling now - but 3 years use and still-going

...If you are looking for a handy vacuum to zap up a little mess or spills, this Black and Decker Wet and Dry Dustbuster is the thing! Retail price: Around £45. No maintenance costs. Background With small children at home, things are constantly knocked over by mistake. When you have a little spill to clear up, and you don't want to hoist a normal-sized vacuum out of the cupboard, use the Dustbuster. It is a hand-held vacuum, and weighs about 2kg. It has a 4.8V motor - sufficient for sucking up a small mess, in my opinion, and can be used for 10 minutes non-stop. Power and storage This is a cable-less.

I like the idea of not having to get my big hoover out everytime there is a little mess like crisps dropped, and the practicality of it is endless. I know at priced around £69 seems a little expensive, but I have purchased similar hand-helds in the past for around 30-40 and found them absolutely useless, so paying a bit more... Read review

Advantages: BAGS CAN EASILY BE OBTAINED,LONG LASTING IF REPAIRS ARE CARRIED OUT
Disadvantages: ITS ALL TO AVERAGE!!!

...A Hoover is a very important household piece of equipment, which is why it’s always wise to carry a spare. I was given a Hoover Turbo Power 2 hoover cleaner due to my Dad upgrading to an electro contour 500 with enough suction to take your hand off! My First impression of the Hoover was “ what a heap… but it don’t cost me anything”. I gave it a whiz round the house. I was now way impressed by its performance but it had a good enough excuse… I t was nearly 9 years of age. It has served my Dad well over the 9 years of use with at least one cat about all of the time so its obviously been well used. Appearance. Well behind the various scratches and a bash where the poor thing has collided with the wallpaper was a very dark blue Hoover. The general appearance is dull and it’s obvious... Read review
