Good Points
Good suction, cleans up animal hair.
Bad Points
Filters need cleaning after every two uses and dust compartment every time. Red light used to come on everytime, even when I used it first go.
General Comments
I feel I have to keep an eye on the cleaniness of the filters and dustbox on my Hoover Dust Manager Cyclonic. The filter on the underside of the dustbox I power spray once a week to remove dust. The dustbox gets cleaned and the other two filters do too. Despite regular maintenance of the filters everytime I turn it on now within seconds I think I hear something inside flip up, it sounds to me like the noise you get when there is a blockage and it seems like the suction pulls whatever it is from rest which seems to make it worse. Examination of the casing, pipes and inards reveals nothing amiss. Suction is now not so good in my opinion and so it will soon be going down the recycling centre, especially sinc the plastic linking the extendable piping to the nozle now seems to have come adrift. I will not buy Hoover again.
