Review: I have tried so many cordless Vacuums in the past so I was a bit sceptical about spending so much on a new one, I am so glad that I did. I have a cat and a dog so obviously I need a powerful cleaner with good suction and brush head to be able to clean up all the hair and mess animals make. Due to arthritis I found the standard Vacuum heavy and bulky as I had to have one upstairs and one downstairs as lifting one up and down the stairs was sometimes a problem. This Vacuum is so lightweight I can easily carry it up and down the stairs, so I really recommend it if you do have similar issues. All of the tools and accessories fit on the Vacuum so no worries about losing them or in my case the dog finding them and eating them :-) and changing the tools is so easy same when wishing to turn the cleaner into a handheld.... simple press of a button and you have a handheld. As this is a pet Vacuum it has to be powerful, I would say that on standard mode it does not have the power to pick up all the hair on carpet, duvets etc so you really need to use the turbo mode. The turbo mode gives a huge power boost to the Vacuum but does drain the battery VERY quickly, but you really only need it when picking up stubborn pet hair. On standard mode it is powerful enough to be used for general day to day cleaning and dusting etc. The brush works really well on carpet and can be switched off for use on a hard floor. Also the pet brush attachment works really well at picking up pet hair or carpet with heavy footfall where it gets a lot of use and would need the extra brush. There are 2 batteries supplied with this Vacuum, which I thought excellent a bonus, but actually you will need both batteries fully charged to hopefully do the entire house obviously depending on how big your house is and how many pets or messy kids you have or a messy husband.... if you are someone who Vacuums every day then you may be OK as you will have less dirt to worry about and can fly thru the cleaning. But if you need to use the turbo mode use it wisely as you will run out of power quickly. I wish the charger came with 2 charger cables so we could charge both batteries at once in 6 hours instead of 12 hours. The dirt collection cylinder needs to have the instructions printed on it for people like me who do not read the instructions :-) when I first emptied the container I noticed it was small and I had to stick my fingers inside it to pull out all the dust and hair. Then one day I accidentally pushed the middle section of the container up and voila out the middle came out and emptying it is now so much easier. The dirt collection chamber is quite small so you have to empty it move frequently that some others but for the extra power and how easy it is to empty I am OK with this. In the end I guess I am more than happy with this Vacuum, clears the space of two Hoovers, means I can take it up and down the stairs easily, has great power when needed. What more could you want.... well maybe a bit cheaper would have helped, but it sometimes is true that you get what you pay for and on this occasion that is true. I just hope it lasts a long time to justify the price.....
