Initially I was happy with this cleaner. Got it for a good price from Debenhams and it has performed OK. Have to agree with other comments, does fall over easily as it is top heavy and does need constant emptying but picks up OK. Problem I have it that it has just literally broke in half. The bearing arrangement between the upright and base has collapsed, the belt won't stay on and the handle is completely loose in the base. Tried to repair but too far gone. Looks like basic deign fault to me. Can't get response from Hoover.
