Hoover DM6200

Having had hoovers before I bought this (after having an electrolux which I hated) with high hopes that it would be a really good machine. Unfortunately it isn't. Its seems to pick up ok but not a brilliant suction, very small cylinder so needs emptying very regular and only comes with one dust filter which takes a long time to dry when washed. The main problem is the incredibly short hose, when using the tools the hoover constantly falls over (onto me usually!) because of the hose and would be impossible to do to the top of the stairs. Overall a rather disappointing purchase.
