I dont know what I was expecting but I thought this would be the hoover of all hoovers (considering the price!)

And anti hair wrap my arse I've had it a month and I've already had it apart cutting the hair out.

Which one do you have I borrowed a friends once, the hand held. And it wasn't great. My vax is way better.

Yes not keen. We had a miele before and I'd go back to that.
UUallt when you get a new vacuum cleaner it's impressive the firys few times you use it. The shark has been mediocre from day one.
However I never used to vacuum while singing BAAAABY miele do do De do De do

Love mine. I've had it for over a year and never had hair on the roller, and we have lots of hair and pets!

I like mine but it’s not the best thing ever, which I was hoping for for the price. I like how it folds away and is light going up the stairs and easy to handle. But it’s suction isn’t the massively impressive.

Yes. Much prefer my Hetty and she was less than half the price.

Cleaner here .... it depends on which one u have. I have the animal orange and blue one for work and it is really good. I have the cheap one for home and would never buy the cheap on again

I’ve come across a few people who either love them or are gutted they spent so much. Nothing in between. We have 4 people with long hair and a dog and I’m so glad I went for the Gtech. It cleans well without me feeling I spent vast amounts on it. I do take the roller out once a month to cut hair off but it’s designed to do that so isn’t like the old dyson that you needed an engineering degree to pull apart.

I found it pretty disappointing. Spinning brushes are good for dislodging deepset crud in carpets but found it out wanting as a day to day machine.

Have gone back to good old Henry after having my eye turned by one of these flashy machines.

I hate mine, suction is crap although I like the lights and its maneuverability.

Its a shame as it could have been amazing. It isnt. Bought hetty instead.

I love mine the only problem is that it doesn't like bits of paper. It's much easier to use than our old Dyson and it picks up stuff much faster. I found the bit where you remove the hair totally by accident. However it hates cobwebs and my husband blocked it.

Iwant2move · 30/10/2020 20:40

Yes. I bought the largest capacity, lift away, corded vacuum. I have replaced it with the latest Miele bagless cat and dog.
The Shark constantly lost suction to the point that it didn’t work. I was constantly taking it apart and cleaning it and washing filters.
A complete and utter waste of money just like Dyson.

No idea what one it is tbh Blush its a stick one with the anti hair wrap. Its an orange colour. Massively overpriced.

All I can say is it beats our previous Dyson into a cocked hat. Can't compare with other brands.
