This is an excellent, lightweight vacuum cleaner. I wanted a plug in as tired of batteries running out on a Dyson. I have a shoulder problem so it needed to be lightweight. This picks up better than a Dyson and is good on hard floors and carpets. Easy to put together and empty. The handle is telescopic so can reduce or increase in height or be taken off for storage. It seems very robust for the price. It comes with some great little tools. Vonhaus were amazingly helpful with a delivery problem. Highly recommend the product and the company.
