Just spotted this on Amazon seems a good price for someone who needs a lightweight vacuum. The reviews are mixed but in general they are good. Might be useful to someone.

    Definately a huge discount!!!! I'm just put off by the fact that it uses paper bags which obviously you'd have to keep buying.

    Having had bagless vacuums of various brands (dyson & vax being the last two) I have now got a 'bulldog' which uses bags on recommendation of my mother! I found the bagless variety lost suction after a month or so and no matter how much effort went into cleaning the filter it was never the same (as needed a new filter at a cost of £15+). So not only do you have the 'cloud' when emptying a bagless you still ideally have to replace the filter as often as a bag so why didn't I switch sooner? :money:

    Not sure if it was the same hoover but Argos in Norwich Mall had loads of upright VAX on the shop floor clearance section for just of £50 yesterday
  • I know this was posted a while ago but can who ever bought this vacuum when it was on offer let me know if it was a good buy? I am thinking of buying one but would like to hear from someone who has used it for a few months.

    Thanks,
