Good and light .easy to take upstairs

Zippy, nippy, super-sucky, amazing little vac which I bought as a stand-in for the days I didn't want to get the Shark out is brilliant, suffice to say I have used the Shark once since i bought this little gem. If you have a lot of wooden floors you're on to a winner with this and it's brilliant on rugs, the sofa, everything but it's so compact it gets right into those tight spaces larger vacs can't get, 10 out of 10 for sure, you should get one!

The cord is extremely short

perfect for quick clean. Amount of muck removed was awsom O K on stairs

Several reviews said how good it was for an elderly relative so I got one for an aunt who has arthritis and mobility problems. No good at all. The dust collector is in the reasonably sized middle part of the cleaner but is incredibly small leaving lots of empty space around it. It has to be emptied frequently which involves removing it, emptying it by hand, and washing and drying it before replacing - and separating the two pieces of the unit to get it out is very hard if you have arthritis. The on/off button is low down on the main unit - again not easy to reach if the arthritis is in your back. I would not have recommended it if it was cordless but as it is corded and therefore has to be plugged in and the cord unwound every time it is used I would say it is not fit for purpose and a complete waste of money. I know it is 'featherweight' and therefore wouldn't have a very large dustbag but the problems with this cleaner far outweigh the benefits of being light.

Really good quality for the money, perfect vacuum cleaner for a small 1-bed flat. Effective but lightweight and easy to store upright.
