Advantages: cheap but works Disadvantages: noisy and flimsy in parts
I bought this from a Tesco store about a year ago. I was just looking for a basic, cheap vacuum cleaner. It was the second cheapest one in the store; I didn’t want the cheapest because it had very little power, even compared to this one. I think the vacuum was £20. It came with two spare dust bags.

I bought this from a Tesco store about a year ago. I was just looking for a basic, cheap vacuum cleaner. It was the second cheapest one in the store; I didn’t want the cheapest because it had very little power, even compared to this one. I think the vacuum was £20. It came with two spare dust bags.

It has a power of 1600W.

The assembly was very easy, it all fits together as you would expect and also the instructions were very clearly written with helpful diagrams.
It does pick up crumbs, mud and dust well. I find the power is ideal for my home but we don’t have any pets or children so I expect there is not as much mess in comparison.
The cord length is good and I have had no issues with not being able to reach a place yet.
The actual vacuum is quite light and easy to carry and is not very large so is quite easy to find a storage place for it. It is also quite easy to manoeuvre.
It is a loud vacuum and I find it a bit tougher to move the head than other vacuums I have used in the past. But my partner finds it fine so it could just be me.
When replacing the bag, you do have to be careful because the parts seem a bit flimsy. My partner has already broken the clip that holds the pipe onto the vacuum, by pulling too hard on the pipe whilst moving around. Therefore that is not very strong and something to be aware of. My partner did manage to fix it though with a little bit of glue.
The instruction manual is clear and concise.
Overall, it is a good basic vacuum but you have to be careful about certain areas of flimsiness. It does however do a good job for the price.
