On the face of it this is an absolutely basic, bog-standard vacuum cleaner without any bells or whistles. But if you think about it, what else do you want from a hoover anyway? Those that claim to make coffee, light up the room and filter the air down to operating room standards are not my sort of thing as they just have more ways in which they go wrong.
And this little baby never goes wrong. Ever. Lets start at the beginning. Its very light and easy to carry. So I bring it down from the upstairs airing cupboard without any difficulty. Then the cord is splendidly easy to pull out. No fancy mechanisms, just a nice n' easy internal wind system. Plug it in, of course. The On/Off button is huge and super easy to operate. Then the suction is, of course, excellent. Because its so light ad round, it pulls around the room easily. At the same time, because the cord is long and so easy to pull out, I withdraw as much as I am going to need, to do the two downstairs rooms, and never have to unplug and re-plug. After a thoroughly decent job of hoovering, I turn off with the big easy button, uplug and wind up the super-easy and fail safe cord store system and carry my light little Henry back up stairs.
When the bag needs changing that's easy too. And they're easy to get hold of as this is a very popular cleaner and used by most professional cleaning companies.
So that's it. No bells. No whistles. No hot-steam-cold-wash-teasmade-alarm-clock-surgical-air-filtration promises. But it does hoover really well and it does so with superb ease.
And it will go on doing so for years and years and years to come. If you want fancy go elsewhere. If you want an efficient, strong, easy, reliable vacuum cleaner, buy this one.
Does exactly what it says on the box!
