Russell Hobbs 13760 Cyclonic Cylinder

Advantages: COMPACT/NEAT, ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS/HANDLE, NICE PRICE!
Disadvantages: VERY, VERY NOISY!!!

I have only had this a few days and reading the reviews after buying it i was somewhat apprehensive and a little disheartened...i decided to try it out anyway! 1st time i used it i loved it! It had a powerful suction (though somewhat noisy) and did a great job on some cornflakes which my son had dropped on the rug. Bearing in mind i only have 2 carpets and a rug and the rest is wood or vinyl flooring, i find it effective for this job, though it may ...
...£40 i cannot complain...for £40 you cannot go wrong with this, i have seen better i have seen far worse and i have paid double for hoovers that had half the performance before now. It is easy to pull around and if you pull the lead all the way out BEFORE you begin and not during hoovering then the tight cord isn't an issue at all, i can live with it. The compact design and handle on top makes it easy to move around and store and it looks really neat ... Read review

When I initially bought this vacuum thought it was brilliant. For about the first 3 uses it was. I was really impressed that it came with a spare filter but have since learned that this is because the filters block up really quickly and easily. On the first few uses the suction was excellent but no it leaves a lot to be desired and even when I have emptied the clylinder and cleaned the filter it loses suction. Was vacuuming last week,(after having the vacuum about 5 days and using it about 4 times), nothing heavy, just the bedroom, and the big brush end of the vacuum broke off! Now if I want to vacuum it's a case of hands and knees! Sorry for anyone who read my previous 5* review of this product, I wrote this on the first day of having the product, when it worked! Don;'t buy one.

What a disappointment. Whoever designed this vacuum cleaner has a lot to answer for. The cable mechanism re-wind spring is so tight that it's virtually impossible to pull the vacuum along without having to manually pull out all the cable before you start. The greatest annoyance however is the fact that with the suction hose coming out of the top of the vacuum in the position it does unless you vacuum in a straight line it spends more time falling on its side than staying upright. I certainly would not recommend buying this product.
