    Bolton warehouse last night had 41 in stock. So I sent DH for one, to aisle 7 as instructed. They were on the top shelf, and they couldnt get them down with the fork lift until after the store had closed. Bloomin marvellous...what was the point in phoning and checking availability then!!
    Anyway, as a couple of others have asked, what are the opinions of those who have one as to it's abilities? Is there anything in the spec to suggest how it compares to a plug in vac, eg in power, and what's the capacity of the dust bin? I presume it's small and needs frequent changes.....won't it empty itself?tee hee!

    Edit: ps, Trafford Park haven't even heard of this item!

    It very good IMO, if you leave it for 30mins it gets up 90% of the bits, a hover now and again would still be needed but just to get up the bits and cut down on the main hovering its perfect

    The bin is small and would need a change every other time depending on room size.

    If the wife is always asking you to do the house work buy this dont tell her, and everytime she askes you to do it put it on then go down the pub

    definetly worth £30

    did you mean 30 minutes?!!
    seems like a long time to have to leave it running, does it systematically work it's way around the room?, or does it just try to detect dirt and go for that?

    haha - we had that problem when we phoned them too.. seems silly if they had 2 calls about it - surely they must have heard of them with the second call.
