Epic MNC69

Bought primarily to use for vacuuming the car and integral garage (after I managed to break part of our upright Dyson). Bought replacement part for Dyson but decided it was time for a smaller compact vacuum with good suction to remove garden debris etc from the car boot.Didn’t want to pay out for a bespoke battery Powered cleaner as the reviews are generally unimpressive with long charge times for short run times and poor suction.The Inventor cleaner is superb. Small compact unit but with fantastic suction (in my opinion better than the Dyson). Yes you will need to control the suction via the slide on the handle or it can lift carpets but it’s simple to do. Like the built in brush attached to the hose tube. Plenty of Cleaning tools (no where to store them on the machine but it’s not a problem for me). If I was being picky the only improvement for me would be a longer crevice tool as the gap at the base of the front car seats is narrow and the tool supplied is a little stubby.I Have no hesitation in recommending recommend this vacuum.

The vac arrived early and after very limited usage, my initial review of this vac is that it was worth every penny I paid. The vac is INCREDIBLY powerful for it's size and came with a wide variety of tools and attachments to take on every job I would expect and more besides. It is lightweight, easy to use, has a large capacity dust chamber and is very easy to empty with no mess. I was a little wary of buying a vac from an unknown manufacturer, but any fears I had vanished when I saw the quality of the product and used it for the first time. It may not be cordless or have a big brand name attached to it, but I honestly cannot imagine how any domestic vacuum cleaner, costing three or even four times as much, could match it's performance. I reckon it could suck a cricket ball through a drinking straw, metaphorically of course. I am very pleased indeed with my vac and, after the few times I've used it, would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone that wants exceptional performance and value for money from a vacuum cleaner.*Update*I've had the Vac for a couple of weeks now and it has impressed me so much, I thought it only fair that I expand on my initial review, all of which I stand by. The vacuum is so versatile, thanks to the tools. I've pretty much vacced every surface and soft furnishing in the house. The results are quite remarkable. The bagless system, along with washable filters means it is free and easy to maintain. The generous length of the cord allows me to whizz around without having to unplug and plug in somewhere else every few minutes. The tools are brilliant. The "turbo brush" just devours Pet Hair, of which we have plenty, and it brought my stair carpet up like new. The fabric head has given my works van seats a new lease of life, in fact the whole interior looks new(ish) after a quick once-over. If all of the above doesn't convince you to buy this, then bear this in mind. I'm a bloke and after 32 years of lifting my feet up whilst my better half vacs round, I have assumed control and forbidden my Wife from "messing" with MY vac, whilst I'm out at work. (She didn't need much forbidding, to be fair.) It's my new gadget and only I am allowed to play with it.

This lightweight, bag less vacuum is excellent. It’s got lots of brilliant features like great suction, great price, easy to empty, easy manoeuvre, multiple adaptors, compact for ease of storage & 3 different settings to use on upholstery, carpets & tiles. The only down side is the power cord is a little sort at 5m, but honestly would not stop me from buying this item or recommending it. Brilliant product. Even better than my previous vacuum which was a Henry.

Having used this vacuum cleaner intensively for 8 months, In a house undergoing incessant DIY and construction work, I can quite simply say it is by far the best I have ever used - including recent dysons costing 4 times the price. Suction is frankly amazing - obviously rather too strong for some reviewers, but I far prefer that to a hint of polite inhalation. Keep the filter clean - a foam section can be removed after a few months and dust tapped out into the wind - and performance remains as good as on the day it was bought. Quality of construction seems equal to anything I have ever encountered, but if this machine were to fail I would unhesitatingly buy another, simply on the grounds of its performance.

I regret buying this vacuum cleaner.After our Dyson packed up and died for good we decided to use a cheaper alternative and perhaps Dysons are slightly overated?We chose this one as it was kind of mid range priced and within our budget what with Christmas round the corner.When first switched on I was impressed with the suction though I found it was useless at picking up hair and fur. It merely pushed the hair around the carpets leaving unsightly little balls of fur / hair / dust.Within 3 weeks the plastic tubing had detached itself from the metal pole and we had to wrap electrical tape around it to hold it in place.Last week it died completely . In middle of vacuuming the motor began slowing down to a halt and that's it!! The worst vacuum I've EVER bought and that's even compared to cheap Argos ones years ago that used to cost about £40.I've now invested in a Russell Hobbs one - fingers crossed that doesn't disappoint.The only pros to this vacuum were that it was easy to manoeuvre and was lightweight but that's useless if its no good at actually cleaning properly.

Left a few months before reviewing and I'm really disappointed with this hoover. 1st couple of uses it was really great with suction and very easy to carry up and downstairs but after that it just never lifted any dog hair at all even on full power. Cleaned filter and emptied it every couple of minutes but even with turbo brush it wouldn't lift the dog hair from laminated floor. Eventually went back to old hoover and put in the loft. Really disappointed.
