Great Purchase! Love!

published

Bought this as a gift for my mum, we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and works like a charm with their hair! The suction is so strong! It has a minimum and maximum setting to adjust the suction as needed, it works great on carpet and tiled floors! Well worth the money.

Not bad vacuum cleaner

published

Are you happy with the performance/suction? : It can be better. Not very much impressed with the suction but its good enough for a less dusty house. Would recommend using it once every fortnight.

Is it light? Quiet? Easy to maneuver? : It is the very light and attachment very handy and useful.

fantastic vacuum and affordable

published

I purchased this vacuum at Godfreys for 99$ been using it for my whole home (no carpeting) and it sucks up dirt and dust very easily, great for picking up pet fur also and great for doing the couch. This vacuum is so easy to clean, the only thing that i would change is the cord length is too short but a good vacuum.

Easy to move around and it sucks!

published

It sucks in a good sense that it takes the dirt away. The Hoover could be a bit more powerful for my taste, but it does the job on a day to day basis. It has plenty of add ons that come in the box. I am using it on a mostly wooden floor and am happy with the results.

Good product - 3 year warranty

published

Light, easy to use and clean, great price, excellent service from Godfrey’s Dandenong. Good suction - I have had it for about a month and I am quite happy with performance for the price and considering the 3 year warranty. Good bargain at $200 for a quality vacuum with turbo head, that can be easily cleaned and maintained

Great value!

published

Purchased a few months ago and I'm very happy with this vacuum cleaner. I have an indoor cat & a fabric lounge. The attachment works brilliantly! I have found it's even more effective if you start with the bristles down, rotate them off and run over the surface again. Powerful suction, great on our rug, timber floors & tiles. Also comes apart (& goes back together) easily for cleaning. It is a little loud but apart from that it's great, especially for the price. Highly recommended!

(I suspect some of these reviews are for a different model as they don't make sense from my experience with this product)

Works fantastic!!!

published

I don't have pets but bought this vacuum in the hope that it will work well for all stubborn dust & dirts trapped in my carpets, particularly in my lounge area. After several uses so far, I'm very impressed, has been the best vacuum I've had! The suction is powerful & it has a choice of small head, large head & corner head. The heads work well, & is easy to manoeuvre. I recommend this vacuum.

Great for cat hair - hard to push on carpet

published

It does the job of getting cat hair up amazingly, however it tends to be quite a workout pushinf the vacuum on the carpet.

Much cheaper than the dyson alternative but it certainly does the job that it is supposed to do. Good purchase as a money saving option indeed.

Ok for the price but not perfect

published

Rubbing a bare foot over my "clean" worn carpet, i realized my vacuum wasn't actually picking up pet hair. The suction was good until i vacuumed over carpet powder at around the 12 month mark and dust would go back up in the air from the motor. Then by 13 months the motor died (thanks to carpet powder). I found the cord on the short side for my average sized 2 room area and the filters needed regular cleaning.
My tip is not to use a dry carpet powder deodoriser with this vacuum cleaner and you should get 2 years or more out of it and don't trust it to really pick up the pet hair from your carpet.

Great vacuum cleaner!

published

I purchased this vacuum not having overly high hopes, but it surprised me. I'm very happy with the suction. It's very easy to pull around the house. Very easy to clean. It also has all the tools onboard for easy use. You can change the head of the vacuum for hard floors and for carpet.

Good vacuumed had for over one year now

published

Brought this vacuumed about one year ago very good suction no issues yet*gets a little bit hot sometimes also the bag less container Gets full quickly I like it it’s a great vacuumed to do 10 minute quick cleans haven’t used the accessories included. One thing I reckon would be better is a longer cord though

small with a big motor

published

For a small machine it has great suction and cleans really well.
Smaller extendable cord is a bit of an issue but I over come it with a extension lead to do the whole house.
Light weight with a more than adequate barrel allows me to clean the whole house without emptying.

Not perfect

published

The vaccuum is a Pets bagless however it’s not a fantastic product of getting the fur out of the carpet. The vacuum does it’s job getting the average bits of dirt and fluff off the ground however it doesn’t seem to live up to its name. The cord is long enough and the vaccuum itself holds a lot of dirt.

Not worth it

published

Purchased one of these 3months ago. 2 of the filter covers have broken off already, and the head is broken.
I vaccume only floor boards in a 2 bedroom apartment. I have 4 short hair dog who doesn't malt very much.
Also the filters are very cheap and flimsy.
Not worth it.

Amazing! I can't believe that I waited so long!

Amazed!, Hoover!
Vacuum's the
suction HOOVER'S outshines the competition!
With the extras and a booklet, the HOOVER is going to make a great difference, especially with ability of controlling pet/fur and the best of all is wonderful, cause it's bagless! That's my honest opinion

Good

published

It's good for carpets but can't work on hard surfaces as you have to struggle to get the dirt. And it's easy to use on carpets, cleans carpets really well. It comes with hard surface attachment but it's not working as good as it has microfibres and it prevents the dirt to coming in and it all sticks on microfibres and goes everywhere .

Love it!!

published

I've had this vacuum for 5 months now and it is fantastic! Really gets all the pet hair of my 5 pets! If it can consistently pick up the hair of 5 animals and not kick the bucket it is a winner! Though it is rather loud due to the rotating head.

I was given this vacuum cleaner last xmas it was good to start with but now I can smell the dust coming from the through the filters. Im not happy with product at all BTW I clean & wash the filters every 2nd day because I just stand the dust coming from the vacuum cleaner. Also the filter thats near the handle gets really really hot sometimes to hot that im scared its going to catch on fire. My mum & par bought it from Godfreys Rockhampton QLD. Plus the part where the filter goes has melted abit so it wont stay closed so I have to use sticky tape. Hope someone can help with this?
