Advantages: Great suction. Reasonable price. HEPA filter works
Disadvantages: Cleaning filters. Using hand tools.

...of constantly unclogging my current Eureka upright. Boy, what a difference a vacuum cleaner makes. First, the basics. The Litespeed is an upright and works on both carpets and bare floors. It has 12 amps of power and does not use a bag. Instead, it has a large cup that you empty out and two filters. One of the filters requires regular cleaning and the other (a HEPA filter to prevent dust from recycling back into the room) requires replacement every ...
...hose up from the base and than try to stick it back in the base again. Plus the hose is made of plastic so isn't made for standing on. All in all, I got great value for my money and I'm very satisfied with my Eureka Litspeed Upright. ... Read review

...vacuum cleaner. Reviews say the Eureka 4870 is the best value in a bagging upright vacuum cleaner, cleaning as well as or better than more expensive models. The Eureka vacuum also ships with a sealed HEPA filter and does well in noise tests. Experts say this vacuum does a good job of picking up pet hair on carpeting.

...insulation on the mains cable started to crumble and come away. As it was a safetly hazard the machine went back to Argos for a refund. I would hope that Morphy Richards look into the quality of the mains lead and fit future machines with something of better quality. ... Read review

Advantages: Cost, Build Quality
Disadvantages: Basic Features

Bought this from Argos to replace a rather rubbish Morphy Richards that we had to take back when the flex crumbled and fell apart. Seems well made for the price and has a number of clever features. For example the waste container can be removed with a single lever. The brush attachment is a rather clever double headed affair, you twist the head to select the surface type you are cleaning. It's bagless and the filters are washable too - no expensive ...
...some minor assembly needed - you need to attach the handle with two screws, but as this keeps the box size down, lowers the transport costs and thus the price it's not a huge problem to me! Our previous Morphy Richards was made of a fragile feeling plastic - this machine feels far more robust and should stand up to knocks well. Mains lead length is more than adequate! The machine cleans very well. The adterts used to say: "Nothing sucks like an ... 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
