One customer wrote: "I've had this hoover for a month and it's honestly the best purchase I've made this year. It's great for cleaning the floor before mopping. Really cleans every bit of anything in the floor. You can programme it to start and finish after certain hours. There's a spot cleaning programme that is great for rugs and carpets. It easily goes over thin rugs without getting stuck. You can also direct it with the remote control. There's others much more expensive than this one but I honestly think this one it absolutely worth it and cheaper than average. "

The VonHaus Stick Vaccum Celaner is a two in one design and has a powerful suction and 1.3L dust capacity.

One customer wrote: "This little vacuum cleaner is much more effective than it has any right to be at this price point. It's light, simple to put together and on hard floors and short carpet it's absolutely fantastic. The motor is so powerful that in handheld mode the start-up torque will twist your hand slightly if you're not ready for it. It's very good at dust and particulate matter BUT I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with pets."

The Bosch Unlimited 7 comes packed with smart solutions to make life effortless. With this cordless vacuum cleaner you can take the guesswork out of cleaning with the Auto Detect function, and let the Flex Tube do the bending under low furniture.

Review: "The main feature of the Unlimited 7, and easily my favourite feature, is that the vacuum head tube can ‘fold’ so it’s flexible, to fit under sofas and other furniture.  I’m really impressed with the Bosch Unlimited 7 overall, I think for a cordless vacuum the suction and battery life is brilliant. They say it’s as powerful as a corded vacuum cleaner and I would agree. I absolutely love the flex tube function, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to own another vacuum that doesn’t have this feature!"

One customer wrote: "After spending a lot in the past and it not lasting I didn't want to spend a huge amount. The Amazon vacuum was reasonably priced and had positive reviews. I am impressed. Having been used to a cordless I was worried about going back to corded. However it's so light and easy to manoeuvre I haven't missed the cordless. It has good suction and it's easy to clean and empty."
