Morphy Richards 73350 Upright

Advantages: Manouverable
Disadvantages: When I said it sucks I didnt mean in a good way!

...Every home needs a vacuum cleaner especially mine, with 2 young children running about it's inevitable that there will be mess, crumbs, trampled in play doh...................... my old vacuum blew up(as most of my appliances have a habit of doing) my mum is a bit of a vacuum addict and saw this as the perfect excuse to get rid of her old one and buy a new one for herself, so I gratefully recieved the Morphy Richards Orb. My mum sang it's praises and being a vacuum aimed at pet owners I had high hopes, ok no I dont have pets but if it can get up pets hairs it should be able to clean up the crumbs.

...Our iron packed up over Christmas, we have previously used Morphy Richards stuff because we have found them to be reliable and do a suitable job whoever gets the short straw and has to do the ironing! Since this is my 1st review of 2006, my girlfriend has been given the all important job of testing out this new little puppy. Today being bank holiday Monday, we thought it was safe enough to explore the outside world again and hey ho hey ho it's off to Asda we go!! (I know a song about that!).

...Morphy Richards Ultralight Cyclone 1500 W Vacuum Cleaner. This has to be by far the worst vacuum cleaner that I have had the misfortune to use in my entire life. The name suggests that it is lightweight, but this is far from so. It weighs 7.5 kg, compared to 5.3 kg for the Electrolux Cyclone Power Lite that I normally use. It is an upright hoover, which measures 42” high, 12.5” wide and 19” deep (front to back). It has a front loading dust cylinder in the same style as most modern vacuums. It has a bush button release mechanism to release the handle (from the upright position) but this can be a sod to get to operate properly, and it often results in the handle falling down and clumping me, normally on the back of the head. The cleaning accessories or tools, that are provided are adequate but by no means... Read review
