Review: I should start off by saying I have never once in my life ever been excited for a vacuum cleaner or even impressed by one. However since buying this I can safely say that I have been quite astonished by it. Before I say how good this vacuum is, let me just give some context here: - Our old vacuum was a vax and it lasted years - Our old vacuum was also corded - We have a few pets in our house so there's lots of hair - Our house is 2 story so there's a lot of room to cover. With that out of the way, here's what I can say about this vacuum. I will start with the attachments. The attachments are amazing! Perfect tools for doing the right job such as: getting cobwebs out of the corner? Use the extension pole and the end with the brush and just simply remove them. Want to clean out the car? Well take off the extension pole and get the small motorised end piece and clean out the footwell with it. Lots of day to day mess on the floor? Put on the extension pole and use the normal end. This vaccine really is a jack of all traits because of the modular design of it that allows you to swap and change ends. Now I'm going to talk about the battery. There's not a lot to say about it because it's a battery but what I can say is that it has around 30-40 mins of use before it runs out and that 30-40 mins is more than enough time to get around a 2 story house. Its also just so convenient not having a cable pulling you back all the time aswell. The battery really gives you the freedom to move around with it everywhere. One of the features about this vacuum that I absolutely love is how easy it is to get pet hair out of the brushes on the bottom. Literally all you have to do is unscrew the barrel for the brush using a coin, pull it out, run some scissors down the fluted part of the barrel and then pull the hair off of the brush. It's literally that simple. Also when it comes to dumping the dirty out and into the bin, it's so effortless. Just unclip the chamber and then put it over a bin and then dump it. On average use I have to do this around twice per clean in the house. In summary, this vacuum is seriously one of the best ones I've ever seen. Sounds weird to be excited over one but it seriously is amazing. If you're looking for a vacuum, this is the one to go for.

Review: I was really excited to try this vax hoover as I have the hard floor cleaner and can swap the batteries around. However if you're disabled or weak or elderly you're going to find this a struggle. The dust bucket is at the top and so is the battery and it's really heavy when it's all put together. The brush part is quite small and so easier to handle. You can separate it and use it as a handheld with attachments but it's still heavy for me. I thought the attachments were made from low quality plastic too. Also there is a bracket for the wall that needs screwing in and you have no choice but to use it. The hoover won't stand up on its own as it just falls over as soon as you let go. This is the worst bit and could easily fall over on your baby or dog. My son has hollow walls to and isn't allowed to screw anything into the wall. So if my walls were like that I'd have nowhere to keep this. The suction is good I've got no issues there but it's the rest of it unfortunately. It's a let down compared to the hard floor cleaner. If I had paid almost two hundred pounds for this I would have returned as it's just not suitable. I have parents in the annexe and we share appliances. My mother has arthritis and she just can't use this. I thought manufacturers were trying to be more inclusive but this does a rewind back many years. I've only given it three stars for the suction and it loses two stars on account that I can't use the thing.
