Powerful and efficient.


Bad Points

If you don't maintain it regularly in accordance with the manual, it will let you down.


General Comments

OK, so I've given this machine perfect 10s whilst other users have had problems. Well, it's all down to user maintenance and RTM (reading the manual).
Firstly, to maintain suction it does need cleaning regularly - clicking the cleaning button a few times is NOT sufficient). You need to remove the cardboard filter about once a month and use a second old vacuum cleaner tool to carefully clean between the sections of the filter).
Secondly, if the brush stops turning, it is almost certainly cotton, or similar, caught in it - cut the cotton with a small pair of scissors, remove it, make sure that it turns freely, wait for several minutes and then press the reset button. It should start running again.
Other than that - no problem. Powerful suction, NOT heavier than any other decent upright cleaner, you can turn off the brush when required, service was great when I needed a belt for the brush and I got the machine cheap on EBay.
What more can I say - just maintain it regularly, chaps, and it should give years of excellent service.
