    Ah well I went in on bus to get one and it is heavy after carrying for about 1 or 2 miles, I had to go to police station as well because on the way there I found a purse with money and loads of cards in it.:money:

    Its very cheap - but you do get what you pay for - its only 130 air watts of suction, which is the measure of its actual suction power not just how much electricity the motor uses. 130 is rock bottom for a vacuum, personally I wouldn't bother with anything less than 200 air watts. Thanks to the OP for thinking of others though :)

    I just checked and my current dyson suction is 250 air watts. It is a shame that this does not compare or else I might have tried to get one to keep upstairs!

    Thanks anyway OP.

    Haha!
    actually I have a Sanyo bagless one, its lightweight, beautifully designed, and it cost £59.99 from Curry's and has 250 air watts of power - it can suck your eyeballs out if your not careful! In fact it was so good its probably why they discontinued it. Curry's make vastly more profit selling £200+ Dyson and this Sanyo made them look pointless!

    none local to me, tried home delivery route, filled in all their questions including credit card details, at the last stage says no stock, looks like a info collecting site for them......should have expected this from the dsg group i suppose. y not tell you no stock straight away save filling in all that info?

  • I bought one today, it isn't heavy at all and does the job, much better than my Hoover vacuum. For £35 a great buy.

    I hoovered using my dyson dc 07 (brought at xmas ) used this vax and it still picked up stuff the dyson didnt - got mine for upstairs - its a great bargain and a very good hoover, but is a little noisy - a good buy

    Thanks again OP
