Hoover TC 1192 ALYX Cyclonic

Advantages: Small and light
Disadvantages: Awkward place for attachments

...I bought this Hoover from John lewis for Around the £70 mark. After using an old electrolux upright that needed its bag changing, who does that these days!!! I decided a new bagless cyclinder was what i needed. So after much internet research and a limited budget the hoover was what i decided on. Only having a 2 bed semi i didn't need and industrial sized machine, but did need one that was light and could fit into all nooks and crannies The hoover was easy to set up and good instructions were included.

Advantages: Works for a while
Disadvantages: Stops when the cyclonic filter fills up

...My Dust Manager Cyclonic worked for a while then unexpectedly stopped because it had overheated. You then have to wait for the machine to cool down. A few minutes later the machine overheated again. The problem seems to lie with the cyclonic filter which in my case block long before the dust box fills up. So you have to stop regularly and clean the filter otherwise the machine just overheats and grinds to a halt. Hoover ask you not to take the machine back to the retailer but to phone their helpline. Engineers are helpful but unable to make suitable modifications just recommending that you clean the cyclonic filter regularly. Hoover are unable to offer either a refund or a permanent fix....

Disadvantages: Where do I start ?!

...Hoover Dustmanager Cyclonic Bagless Cylinder Cleaner. Sometimes inanimate objects make me really angry. I kind of have a 'Basil Fawlty' moment where I have to shout, scream and kick it a bit in the hope that it will somehow make it work. This vacuum cleaner ladies and gents is one of those such objects. Never before have I been driven to the brink of insanity or felt such rage and fury against something. I can feel my blood boil as I think about this hoover even though it went to the great rubbish dump in the sky a good 3 months ago now.
