I'd been really looking forward to this vacuum cleaner coming on sale, seemed to take ages for it to get into production. I had very high hopes for this. I've had this a few months now, and wanted to really get used to everything before I wrote a review, so that I could be completely honest and helpful to others. Firstly, if this was advertised as an upright cleaner, this would have 5 stars all day long as it's completely blown away everything else I've used in this category. Unfortunately, as it was being touted as the best all round (including the hose attachment side too), I felt this let it down massively. The hose is way too short, I struggle to do the stairs, as its pulling the cleaner over when I'm only doing the next step up from the one the cleaner is sat on. I always use two hands when I use a hose as I feel this way gives me the best control, but with this you have to use one hand to hold the cleaner, while left flapping about with little control of the hose in the other hand. On top of this, I find the suction isn't the best through the hose attachments. I think this would benefit immensely from a motorised head, like a miniature version of the main head, and also a much longer hose. I think improving the hose side of the vacuum cleaner would definitely make this a world beater!
