Good Points: Suck well for the first 5 minutes

Bad Points: After that it sucks big time!

General comments: I can only echo what other reviewers have said, It fell over all the time usually cracking me one on the bonce and bringing out some inappropriate language - then the wheels fell off. The comedy build quality meant the covers (especially the front cover) fell off more often than the doors on a clowns car. It sucked well at first, but I think if you had an average three bedroom house you'd need to empty it 2 or 3 times to vacuum the whole house, and the filters would definitely need cleaning by then. I find they take forever to dry too. Chasing pet hairs round my hard floors is a great new exercise bought to me by this marvel of modern design. It was far easier to sweep my hard surfaces than use this machine on them. The mechanism to lock it upright was poor and sounded like some one with arthritis cracking their knuckles, I'm surprised its lasted this well. Yesterday it made an odd noise and smell and smoke billowed out and my first thought was "thank god I've got an excuse to get rid of this junk".
I think that hoover tried to make it too cheap and too light (it was the lightness that attracted us to it) and this is the result.

In our opinion this thing belongs at the refuse site & would be going there today but will be sending to the director of hoover as I heard on the grapevine that he needs a new door stop!!!!
absolute pile of rubbish & the biggest waste of money ever! very bad design / terrible build quality / filters are blocked after just one vacuuming session / both wheels fell off / front cover falls off / when using the attachments the thing falls over all the time!

I would not recommend purchasing this item. Hoover recommend washing the filter after every five uses. In practice it requires washing after every use. Not very user friendly!!

Where do I start? It cuts out after 3 minutes. It falls over all the time. The filters are constantly blocked. When you clean and wash the filters (every 5 times of use) they take ages to dry and then stink! Have had an engineer to look at this because it kept cutting out, total waste of time drilled holes in it to help circulation and then went. Tried it out the next day and it was just the same. Comet will not give a refund on this product as they say there is nothing wrong with it! I ...

This was bought and after one use realised it was not very good despite being from a leading brand. If you wish to use this it says to clean filters after five times of use. Even if you do this it is easier to use a dust pan and brush.
