Hoover S 96 DS Power Master DRY

Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use
Disadvantages: short charge time

.../dirt and comes with a Manufacturers 1 Year Guarantee. The Powermaster weighs around 1.55 kgs so is pretty lightweight compared with others on the market. My opinion of this hand-held is that it does exactly what I bought it for, it's pretty powerful so makes the stairs and other little jobs a piece of cake, the tools come in handy too for getting into little corners or the supersoft brush for just going over your furniture or cushions, I also found it useful for just going over the curtains to freshen them up. 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: Powerful suction, cheap
Disadvantages: As with all "bagless" handhelds bar Dyson, loses suction

...Whilst hand held vacuums are pretty unexciting, I felt compelled to write a review of this as I had so much trouble mysel in choosing one. Basically, the Dyson DC16 is excellent and despite a short battery life, the best hand held one can buy. However, at £100 that put me off. Agood fridend has a £30 Black and Decker model. It's good, but clogs up easily and then doesn't suck properly. I ended up going for the HOOVER S96DS. Having tried a few models at Comet, this seemed very good. If you're spending £40 or over, then I do recommend going for the Dyson as it's so much better, but Comet do this Hoover model for £20 (normally £40) as it's an end of line. For £20 it is excellent and far more pwoerful than it's counterparts. It does clog, but then so do all bar the Dyson. It's not excellent, but I would highly recommend it if you... Read review

Advantages: If you like to suck hard
Disadvantages: It does'nt like being hairy

...half decided on the "Hoover" dust manager. Looking very equipped to tackle our problem, (special Pet hair tool), (1900 watt very powerful motor), (loads of tools) and especially the bagless system, it was all we thought we needed. The Pet hair Dyson model actually won the vote but was just a tad expensive and this model seemed to match it on performance at a £50 cheaper price. Our machine looked sleek and cosmopolitan as I unwrapped it and admired the purple and silver colour scheme. (It does come in other colours) Easy to put together most of it was self-explanatory with just a handle to assemble with two simple screws to attach. Looking at the lounge floor my heart palpitated at the thought of a hair free house especially after you have itched your pants, and removed hairs from your stir fry. Looking at the controls (mounted... Read review
