Hoover VCN 6185 B

Advantages: picks up dirt from carpet well
Disadvantages: the attachments are not long enough

...Although it is a little bit yellow and ugly. I have been very impressed with this hoover. It picks up dirt extremley well and everything pulls apart to clean if something gets stuck.This hoover has been used to hoover up everything plaster dust to normal household dust and cat hair and other DIY jobs. It has taken a considerable beating from my husband who is not always kind to such appliances and kept on ticking. It is extremley hard wearing and after nearly two years does not show many signs of wear and tear only my only comment is that the attachements could be longer so I could reach further up the stairs when hoovering. This hoover is Great value for money hard working, wearing and I would buy another one when mine wears out.... Read review

...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
