Recommended. Meets stated run time of 15mins, at a constant suction, reasonably powerful and great for doing edges. At 25 airwatts (suction) it fairs well to other handheld vacuums. The Dyson DC34 does have a boost mode, that has significantly more suction, but than runs the battery down much quicker.It is lightweight (and smaller than it looks). Realistically you are likely to be using the hose in one hand and holding the vacuum in the other. As one person points out the exhaust is perhaps a little close what you are vacuuming when using it fixed with the hose wrapped, and to me the balance doesn't seem right using it this way. I don't find this an issue, the advantage of getting into tight spots wins my favour. I also like the flip down brush nozzle.Easily emptied, the filter will need cleaning regularly, but this is very easy to remove, and tap out the dust. It is washable, and it cheapish to replace (found here on Amazon for £9). Unlike a Dyson the performance will depend on how clean that filter is (in a Dyson less dust/dirt gets to the filter due to "the cyclones").The detachable hose/nozzle makes this much better option (for me) than the Dyson, and I want the long running time. If I really need the boost power offered by the Dyson, I think it is time to get the main vacuum cleaner out.A little annoyed the price has dropped by £25 only six days after I bought it - but that makes it a better bargain now!

Likes: Super Lightweight, reasonably powerful, great design. Two useful tools. this vac is great for arthritis as holding the motor separate from the nozzle enables good balance and the lead hand can direct the nozzle with great accuracy. With arthritis in both hands this vac is especially useful for dusting skirting, Venetian blind slats, architrave door-tips, window sills & surfaces. It is light enough to hold in one hand and direct the hose nozzle with the other as I move from room to room. The suction power and charge is sufficient for a light clean of a small bungalow, but the battery would need a recharge, for larger properties, heavier clean, or a household car. As there is no hose extension pole or floor tool this isn't suitable for a main vac which is a missed opportunity.Improvements: perhaps more power / longer battery use, quickervrecharge time. A hose extension, there is no way of extending the reach! I'm 5'3", a lightweight retratractable, twist to lock extendable plastic tube would be handy for ceiling lightfittings & cobwebs instead of having to balance on a stool! A floor tool to avoid bending.
