Gets the job done for a very fair price
4/5
The things I personally dislike about this vacuum cleaner outnumber the things that I enjoy, but at the end of the day all that matters is that it cleans and it seems to do that extremely well. I'm sure more money could buy one more bells and whistles, possibly also a sturdier build and less 'cheap' feel, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone wanting a decent clean without breaking the bank.
Pros:
- very good, powerful clean;
- reasonably light (lighter than my previous machine, at any rate);
- long cable allows me to clean my entire house without un- and re-plugging even once.
Cons:
- not the easiest to steer especially around corners;
- on-board tool storage may as well not be there, so easily do the tools fall off as soon as the body of the vacuum is reclined;
- switching attachments could be easier and more streamlined;
- as helpful as the long cable is it, combined with the placement of the hooks quite close to one another, makes re-winding a bit of a bore. It's also a bit of a faff to carry the slack around the room without getting tangled when the full extent of the cable length isn't required.
