I decided to buy this vacuum cleaner when my old vacuum cleaner packed up. I had, for a long time, seen this in my Argos catalogue, but it was a bit over my budget at £140. When I saw this at £99.99 in Asda I bought it straight away as I knew it was the one I wanted. Packaging It came in a large box with a few diagrams and pictures,and the normal boasting of the product. Putting it together Assembly could not have been easier. All it required me ...

Advantages: First time use is okay.
Disadvantages: After you have used it a few times it does not work so well.

I purchased a Vax Sahara (£219.00) because its supposed to clean hard floors. I have a big kitchen and needed something easy to use to clean my hard floor. I thought the Vax Sahara was the floor cleaner for me, and boy was I wrong. The first few times were okay it cleaned my floor but only the same as a normal mop would clean it so I was not impressed. When the blade at the bottom of the Sahara was dirty I found it hard to take off and even harder ...
...thats a joke I had all wet patches dirt lines where it could not suck anymore. All in all I think Vax Sahara's are useless and you'd be quicker with a mop and bucket.My Vax Sahara is now in the shed and as not been used for about 6 months. ... Read review

Advantages: Small portable vacuum ideal for samll spaces and tight stowage
Disadvantages: Fiddle to fit flexible long reach hose

Advantages: Compact, powerful and effective Simple to use and easy to stow, we keep one of these handy little gadgets on the boat. Where electric power is available its so much easier than the traditional dustpan and brush. The brush head rotates as it sucks, driven by a rubber band. It seems primitive but is very effective, even able to draw dust from fairly deep pile carpet and soft furnishings. The black cover on the front is removable to access ...
...fit a flexible suction hose for long reach and crevices etc. We never bother with this, its simply not worth the palaver! The dust trap bag fits simply onto the back of the motor with a rubber collar and is very easy to fit and remove. It also has the advantage of collapsing down to filled capacity which is very useful for stowing in tight or awkward places. Emptying is simplicity itself. You merely remove the dustbag, turn it inside out and shake. ... Read review

Advantages: Reasonably priced.
Disadvantages: Heavy and cumbersome, pick up not wonderful.

We have two cats, the little darlings, and around 12 months ago, when our previous cleaner finally gave up the ghost, this machine with the words 'pet lover' caught my eye in Tesco for £59.99. They had a model on display and it looked aesthetically pleasing in white and blue so I picked up a box. Said box was surprisingly small so I had a suspicion that the vacuum was self assembly. When I got home and unpacked it, my fears were well founded. Neatly ...
...were, 2 long screws and 5 short screws, A base (the piece in contact with the floor), A dust cup with lid and filter, A long handle, A tool caddy, A rear housing, A hose retainer, A bendy hose, A wand (not magic), A crevice tool, A stair brush, A dusting brush. For older members, it is more fun to read the above as if they were passing by on the conveyor belt on The Generation Game. Sorry, I digress. Let me say at this point, if you ... Read review
