Vacuum Cleaners > Hoover Vacuum Cleaners > Upright (Beat & Brush) > 1 Litre to 2 Litres

Advantages: Light, efficient etc
Disadvantages: None

Right, those members remembering Hoover Juniors, will know they are a bog standard little vaccuum, correct so far. What has changed is the design, gone is the functional practical austere look, this is the new Doctor Who of cleaners. This is the new improved "Hoover with attitude" It looks modern, stylish even, and I dare say designers have been briefed to give it a sort of "In your face image". While I have absolutely nothing against the idea of ...
...me, but that is what Hoover are charging, and they do that because we, the customers, are willing to pay it. Your best buy would appear to be online, just remember the cost of postage. Portability is good, it is easy to carry, light, and not too long or bulky. This type of machine is good for cleaning carpets, upholstery and other surfaces, useful to have upstairs as a second cleaner. It does have a selection of tools, including the obligatory "crevice ...

Advantages: Leaves floors spotlessly clean and dry
Disadvantages: Noisy

...back on the floor. The Hoover Floormate ensures you are only ever cleaning with fresh solution and the floor is left dry enough to walk on. It has two water tanks. The upper tank is filled with hot water and floor cleaner, I find the recommended Detox direct floor cleaner works best, but dilute it using the built in measuring cap. The lower tank is where the dirty solution is collected. You can use the Floormate as a dry pick up vacuum cleaner to ...
...a dishwasher. Hoover don't recommend the Floormate for unsealed wooden floors, but it's great on tiles, lino and sealed wood floors. I use it on laminate suitable for bathrooms, parquet wooden floors and lino. I paid around £100 for my Floormate but I have seen it for much more. I think it's worth what I paid and if you can get it for £100 or less, then it's worth the money. The cleaner is noisy and the solution tank is a bit small, but apart ... Read review

Advantages: Many

Hello and welcome to the review that should have been here. It was here but its not here now as I have taken it and put it into my private stash somewhere else. It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad case that reviewers have to come ...
...sense at all when the original content should be listed and frankly because of endless problems with Ciao I no longer have the time and energy to carry on. Each time I tried, it didn't work. Each message I sent to other members, they didn't appear. Each rate I applied, it didn't show. So that's the end of it. Ty for reading. ... 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
