Went straight out to the Dearne Valley store after reading this thread and they had about 15 left. Mine is currently upstairs on charge, can't wait to have a play :j

Well, I was as excited as the rest of you....
Charged it up....
It did it's thing.....my verdict?

Best for hard wood/laminate floors as it WILL collect dust, etc and to be fair it did pick some stuff from carpet, but if you're expecting this to save you vacuuming, sorry - it's not that powerful - it went over bits numerous times but didn't collect them.

Plus, the battery life is useless.
However, the gadget value is second to none!
Hope that helps prospective buyers.

I'll second everything said there. In fact mines just packed up not even sucking now! :eek: It's just moving about bumping into things

It's going back to B&Q in the morning.

i'll keep mine, resigned to the fact that it's destiny lies on a laminate floor of one large room.

Sorry to dissapoint you but there are no tools on it and the suction iasnt that good. So maybe you need a women after all.

Well I have not managed to find one yet, so looks like more chance of finding a woman to clean for me in the South Midlands area.

Sounds like an ebay seller.

No - just someone who can't get any in the Southwest stores

The missus really wants one and the other is for my brother.
