It’s a great back up vacuum cleaner. Ideal for smaller jobs. The suction is pretty powerful, it doesn’t feel heavy to use as a handheld and the filter is easy to remove and clean; although it does need emptying more often if you’re using it a lot. I considered buying a cordless vacuum, but they’re never going to be as powerful and if like me you have pets, then power is needed to pick up their hair from rugs etc. The stick handle is fairly easy to fit and remove, it feels a bit thin, but I imagine it wasn’t designed to be used for long periods of time. I haven’t used it on my staircase yet, only around the kitchen, living room and vacuuming inside my car. It would be good to be able to get a thinner attachment for those hard to reach areas especially in the car, although the two attachments that come with it are pretty good. All in all, I think it’s great for the price.

Very lightweight easy to assemble and great at picking up

It's pretty brilliant for the price! Works well on hard floors as it's very powerful, but it's a bit too powerful on carpets, so it only really works when I pull the vacuum towards me (pushing it away it too difficult)! This means that it does take a while to clean the carpets, as it's so good at sucking the carpet (instead of sucking up the hairs/fluff). I wasn't surprised though, as I read many reviews saying the exact same thing before I purchased it. The 2 heads are all you really need and it's easy to empty.

Very light and picks up well

Good suction and light to use. Would recommend if you only have a small area to hoover like me.

Good suction, but you do need to clean the filters regularly as it does get quite hot.

a llittle hard on suction. but otherwise OK

Very good but for that price. A bit noisy but perfect for the job I need it to do.
