This is a great vacuum cleaner, it is very quiet and lightwight so is very easy to carry up and down the stairs. It gets right into the corners and along the skirtings with ease. It goes under furntiture easily without having to change the attachments like tables and cots.
It also has 2 large buttons one is to turn it on and the other reels the cable back in for you once you have finished.
The suction is great, really powerful, and It leaves my carpets looking almost new again, only problem is though with such great suction you cant hoover rugs and mats as it sucks them up.
I also did all of the hoovering of the whole house (3bed semi) in super fast time, it just glides around the floors and is just as good on tiled and laminate floors as it is carpet.
The cable is a good length for doing stairs although it could do with a stretch hose, as the hose isn't that stretchy for doing the stairs athough the cable is long it would be easier to leave the cleaner at the bottom and just use the hose.
It comes with lost of little attachments that all interlock into each other, only problem is trying to put them back in once you have gotten them out.
It is easy to empty and easy to clean the filter, just throw the filter in a washing machine on 40 degrees and dry and its as good as new again.
I have 6 children, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 1 rabbit plus a fiance who likes DIy, this hoover is fabulous and cleans to perfection, i am a very houseproud person and this is a fabulous product and i couldnt recommend it enough.
