Good little cleaner for the price. Fantastic for doing the stairs.
Just a couple of points to bear in mind: 1. Cord is too short and could do with being a couple of metres longer so I can get to the top of the stairs with it. 2. You must remember to clean the main foam filter, because if don’t, the suction drops quite dramatically.
I’ve got no real complains out thus item. Very pleased with it.
WOW this was amazing, we have a dyson anf just wanted a cheap electric hoover, this didn’t disappoint….the first time use it ducked the carpet clean up, so just took a bit of time to get used to it, its brilliant it really is.
Its light, easy to dust off and clean after use, easy to empty and it stores away in my cupboard perfectly
For 52 this is a great little vacuum. The cord length is adequate but I need to use an extension lead to do my stairs & landing. The hose length is fairly standard but the metal pole part could do with being a fraction longer. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of suction, my expectations were not very high, after all it was only 52. Picks up animal hairs ok. There are a few things that could be improved but all would add cost and for the money this is good value. It is extremely lightweight and plasticky so I don’t think it will stand much knocking about but equally, that makes it easy to carry around. It is very compact so easy to store. The container needs emptying regularly but at least you don’t have to pay for expensive bags. Even if it doesn’t last very long I could have 6 of these for the price of a Miele.
I absolutely love this hoover! I just moved to a new home and the entire place is covered with 20 year old ugly carpet….the suction on this thing is amazing. The colour of the carpet is several shades lighter now because i think it even sucked the dust out of the flat below. I had a hard time lifting it off the wooden floors too! Saw some silly reviews on how the suction went after a few weeks…..honey, u need to clean the Hoover too sometimes! I had to empty and wash it 3 times by the time I was done with the 850sqft. But it cleans beautifully! I had Dysons before….what a pathetic hyped up thing. Just get this little thing. It’s light and has a long cord with accessories.
We’ve bought this cylinder in the 700W 2.0 version for a couple of our tenanted flats and they are great. The suction is good, they seem fairly bombproof and most importantly, easy to empty and clean filters. Also the design is really compact, so easy to tuck into a small space in a small property. In our experience, if you keep the filters cleaned and the canister emptied, the suction remains strong. Great value product.
I wanted a cheap little cleaner for DIY dust and did not want to ruin the Dyson so got this off good reviews. Its got really good vacuum and is quite well equipped with tools. It’s our go too now not just for DIY but the stairs and those little jobs that do not justify getting out the big guns. Only downside is that being so small and light weight you can pull it over but its not a big issue.
ITS ONLY FAULT IS ITS A LIL HEAVY. Its worth every single penny, I been looking for a hoover since the wattage change that came in some years ago, and until now I been buying every spare part I could for my BISSELL CLEAR VIEW 2396E as I couldnt part with it as it was the best I ever had. I really had to pull myself together n say “no u need a new hoover”, I wanted something similar n this amazon basic is THE BEST- suction is SO GOOD as is the cord length, the only disadvantage is I find it heavier than my previous but then you know its strong n robost, I will recommend this hoover 150%. Its other great feature is its metal pole compared to plastic ones that I was forever buying. Wash n dry filter no bags etc you good to go.
I’ve used Amazon a lot for about 15 years. I pretty much used to buy everything on Amazon. In the last year or two I’ve felt service has gone down, a lot of products have been really poor, poor customer service and delivery people have left my parcels in really bad places (like under a random persons car or my bin when it was out for collection). This made me really unsure about buying this hoover, and I nearly bought one from a competitor site instead. I’m really glad I ordered this hoover though as it’s so good! Much better than my old hoover which literally snapped in half mid use (it was a different brand but bought on Amazon).
My dogs shed a lot and this hoover is brilliant at getting hair out of the carpet without having to go over it 50 times. I think elderly people or people with poor mobility might struggle to use it as the suction is very high. It’s perfect for me though and would definitely recommend it to pet owners.
I previously owned a Dyson, but now I wonder why I ever needed one. This Amazon Basics hoover is perfectly fine, it looks amazing for the price, love the blue colour, its parts feel sturdy and there are plenty of them. While it has slightly less suction power than the Dyson I had, I certainly wouldn’t need to or bother to pay extra for anything more again. This hoover, picks up most dirt, it’s light, it’s cool looking, it’s affordable, it’s quite quiet, it feels and looks of high quality in general not just for the price. Would definitely recommend.

Let me start by saying I don’t like vacuum cleaners, period. I don’t like the noise they make or their sometimes useless suction. This product is neither of those, the suction is superb and it’s very quiet. Don’t be put off by the fact it’s an Amazon label on it and not some brand name you have heard of before. Who cares !! You presumably like me want a product that does the job and doesn’t cost too much compared to other similar items. This is both of those. I’m usually quite a critical person and review as I find. I have no criticisms for this vacuum cleaner, the quality is excellent and so is it’s usage both suction and manoeuvrability and it’s very light to carry. I have just received mine today 02/12/20, I ordered it 27/11/20 so full marks as usual to Amazon. I live on Jersey in the Channel Islands so normally items take slightly longer to arrive. Not this time. I hope this review helps others make their choice
errific at 39.99, light enough to go everywhere, and i personally prefer bags as when its time to empty you dont get dust flying around everywhere. i am a fan of this already. its build quality is great coupled with amazons terrific warranty and customer service. how you use it on stairs is dependent on where and how you are pluggin it on. i use an extension in my house if required
Just needed a basic vacuum cleaner for a carpeted, fairly large one-bedroom flat. Read the reviews and went for this one.
Not at all bothered it’s not ‘branded’. Brands mean very little these days… products are normally made (and even designed) by sub-contractors for the large brands. Quite often you get more for your money if you buy something which isn’t from a top brand as they spend billions in marketing to maintain their brand image.
Anyway, back to the vacuum cleaner;
Decent basic brown cardboard box; no unnecessary colour printing (with toxic inks), just a strong, brown cardboard box. No polystyrene; fantastic. Packaging is good and the product arrived in A1 condition. Instruction manual and two dust bags (plus there was a third in the machine).
Small, compact, well-made machine. Doesn’t look or feel cheap. The tube is metal and feels really good; it adjusts with a solid-sounding click to the length desired. I’m 6-foot tall and would say the tube would suit anybody from 4 foot 6 inches to 6 foot 8 inches tall, at a guess. The accessory heads all fit snugly on the tube. The hose secures nicely into the cleaner body.
Usage: Well, my flat carpeted and I’d been without a hoover for 6 weeks, so it needed a good clean. I used the large, standard head, with the brush in the ‘out’ position. Great suction, good pickup. Took a few minutes to clean the 18′ x 12′ lounge, which has a cream carpet, and it looked great. I then used the smaller upholstery head to clean the sofa and chair… again, very good.
On the kitchen floor, which is vinyl, pickup was good. I’d say the machine would be fine on hard, wooden floors.
The cleaner body is small, so it’s a bit unstable and can flip over, but it’s no big deal. Cable length is good, and it self-returns nicely. Being small it’s easy to store in a small cupboard. The selection of tools (attachments) is fine and would also be good for cleaning out a car, into all the tricky places. No issues with hose or head becoming separated during use, all fit together snugly.
Overall conclusion: Well, for the price I’d say it’s really good value. I hope it lasts and lasts, but time will tell. The build quality seems very good, and it’s a well-thought-out design. I’d say it’s suited to a smaller house/flat, or would be good as a second hoover for upstairs and for doing the car etc. If you have a large house and want just one cleaner, go for a larger, more expensive machine, but for what I need it seems perfect. I don’t have stairs but it would be easy to carry up the stairs whilst cleaning, it’s small and light enough for that, assuming you don’t have mobility issues.
Bags are about a pound each (on Amazon), and based on my cleaning yesterday and checking the bag after I reckon I’ll use five bags in a year maximum, but I don’t have pets or long hair. I think a bagged machine is sensible as bag-less ones can clog up, but that’s my opinion.
So, I’d recommend this vacuum cleaner, I think you would struggle to get anything better (or even as good) for the same price. If it lasts more than two years and keeps sucking, I’ll be very happy!
I have hard floors, (the hoover comes with an extra unlisted hard floor attachment) suction is ridiculous for this priced hoover which is good as it gets everything. Takes up very little room, it is very light for a hoover, to a point you forget you are actually dragging it around floors. I do not have stairs so cannot comment on that, nor do I have carpets.
A very good buy for the price. I went for the bagless 1.5L. I have a 1 bedroom flat, 6 meter cord from 1 point covers the entire place top to bottom.
What a cracking hoover. You can’t go wrong with amazons own products. I made the mistake of getting long haired cats that broke my previous one, this one was over 50% cheaper so I was a little dubious (gotta save money, my cats have expensive lifestyles). It’s brilliant, suction perfect for haired up carpets. Lightweight to move around with and smaller tools for harder to reach spots.
Easy to empty and maintain the filters . For the price it’s a joy to be hoovering , can you say that with yours? Highly recommend this item. Well done again amazon . It looks kinda hot too
I’m off to do some more hoovering
I bought this as a spare in case my cleaner’s vacuum stopped working; now, with Covid I have to shield, and I can’t have my cleaner round! So I am having to do my own vacuuming – and I’m so glad I bought this machine last year. I’m not in good health, with little body strength, but I can manage it as it’s so light – I can even take it up and down stairs.
The suction is super-powerful – I found out about this vacuum on the Which? website which gave it a high rating – and yes, it can pick up almost anything – what it can’t do so well is those little bits of lint/paper you get in bathrooms which just stick like glue to the carpet – but then I use the suction hose on those directly – and they do disappear! The tools that come with it are a bit plasticky but they are ok for the price.
It’s very easy to set up using the instructions – which is good, as I’m not techy!
The lead is quite long – stretches the full length of my sitting room – so not too much pulling out of plugs etc.
The overall pick-up/clean ability of this vacuum is actually better than a very expensive one I used to have – the carpets look really clean after.
The one quibble I’d have with it is that emptying the non-disposable fabric dustbag inside is NOT as easy as it looks in the instruction booklet! The contents of the bag don’t just drop out neatly into your bin – they have to pulled out manually, bit by bit = lots and lots of dust – I wear a Covid mask to do this! I’d rather use the fabric bag though than the disposable paper ones, it takes longer to fill up. If you have asthma or are allergic to dust, either don’t do this at all or wear a mask…and just use the paper bags instead.
Got a massive deal on this vacuum cleaner, it was on sale and I had a voucher as well so I paid only 37 pounds. We had medium expectations to be honest, but everything would be an upgrade from that horrible upright bagless vacuum cleaner we had.
It arrived in a day, super easy to put together, lightweight and had some very useful accessories as well. I don’t like the bags it comes with as it doesn’t seem like they’ll filter the fine dust well so I bought a pack of SWIRL Y101 and they are lovely.
My fiance insisted that this vacuum cleaner would be weak and bad, but he had to eat his words when we flicked it on. It almost lifted the carpet floors on max, have to use it on almost the lowest setting to be able to comfortably move it around. It sure does the trick, I went from hardly getting anything off the carpets with the old one to filling a whole bag in a day! The lead is a lot longer than the old vacuum cleaner and on par with premium vacuum cleaners. So incredibly happy with this purchase, super good value for money, even if you get it at full price it’s good value. When this vacuum cleaner has done its duty or we need a separate one for the car/dirty jobs we’ll buy another one from amazonbasics for sure. Highly recommend!
(If you have arthritis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or another joint/tissue condition and live alone I would consider a different one that has more wheels for easy movement. This one does require some elbow grease on carpets, so luckily for me I can outsource it to my fiance and stepson)
After buying another Dyson & being disappointed with it after only 2 years, I decided to buy this as the reviews were really good & I have to say that I’m not disappointed at all. It’s a little cheap looking but it was a great price and has amazing suction function that is great for all kinds of surfaces. I didn’t realise my carpets were so bad until I used this for the first time as it picked up loads that my Dyson didn’t. I’ve always had a branded hoover but I’m sold with this one as it definitely does the job well.
Within the past years, I have bought several Amazon Basics vacuum cleaner and overall I have been happy of the value for the money of the vacuum cleaner…
I think that the suction power is good and the product keeps well with the time and usage… Overall the product looks solid and good quality…
I was really enthusiastic about the product few years ago, but I am a bit colder now since prices have increased and nowadays amazonbasics is not the cheapest hoover on the market, personally, if I need a vacuum cleaner in the future I would carefully check the pricing with other brands before deciding…

Actually brought this as a replacement for the exact same model as my ex took the previous one when she moved out… Which should tell you a lot really!
I’ve found the hoover to be lightweight, decent power.. nice selection of attachments, and plenty of length on the plug wire to get around the house.
Only thing is, being a wired hoover its not great on stairs, but it’s light and small enough you can just carry it as you go without too much hassle
We bought this vacuum when our 7 year old Miele’s motor burned out after having to contend with ~6 months of builder’s dust permeating through the house. Initially this was only intended to be a stop-gap until the builders had finished, so that we didn’t waste 300 on a new Miele and immediately damage it with all the dust.
First impressions were really good, at least as powerful as I remember the Miele had been, and significantly more so than towards the end of its life. The filters are easy to wash, which should keep it going longer that the Miele lasted.
The small capacity was initially a problem, I’d have to empty it 7 times while doing the stairs, landing and 2 modest sized bedrooms, but I took it as sign of how much more cat-fluff it was picking up than the Miele had been able to, and now the house is mostly clean, it only needs emptying once per room – which I can live with.
The attachments aren’t very well designed and the holder is useless. Fortunately the Miele attachments also fit this, so I use those instead. The basics do seem to work well enough though.
Only other criticism is that when you carry it to do stairs, it looses suction because holding it by the handle puts pressure on the seal between the cyclone and the motor – so you have to put it down on each step.
This is a fantastic little vacuum for the price (35 with promotions when I bought it). The determining factor on whether we keep it long term is if we can get replacement filters… after 5 months of unreasonably hard work, the daily washing has taken its toll on them.
For the price I’m impressed with the section and build quality.
I like the fact all the accessories live on board, the cleaner has great maneuverability.
Section power is really good, there are two controls for the section one on the handle and one on the machine, you need to turn it down on thick carpet’s as there is to much power.
The tools are a bit small, it’s not that good for the car but for indoor cleaning which is what I use it for, it does the job quite well.
I’m happy with it.
It’s really lightweight, which was important to me as I have a house with a lot of stairs. I don’t mind changing the bags, I find bagless cleaners lose suction quite rapidly so I’m fine to re purchase bags for it. The 1.5l one is very small so ideal for a little flat or small house. We have all hard floors so when I saw it was mostly good for that, I chose it over more expensive machines. The accessories do feel a bit plasticky and cheap but fundamentally I don’t think it will change the performance of the machine itself. Cord gives plenty of reach in my house. Comes with the usual bag of tools which I’m 99.9% unlikely ever to use!
Am pleased thus far, let’s see how this does after a couple of years….
WOW
Got this based on the good reviews and I’m not disappointed.
We previously had a cordless vacuum which we thought was better for our flat but we were wrong. Since using this our house looks new – it’s a rented flat and had quite old carpet. This has helped beyond measure. It’s powerful and small, and the cord is great length which is useful for us as our flat doesn’t have many plugs.
The different heads are also great to dust and get into smaller areas.
After trying a number of mid-price cordless vacuums, I decided they didn’t do the job as well as I required and wanted another corded Miele. I decided after reading the reviews for this vacuum to take the chance and I’m so glad I did! This is just like my corded cat and dog Miele but 200 less! I’m so pleased I bought it, the suction is incredibly strong as others have mentioned, so much so, that I just pull it along my carpet one way! I only have carpet in one room, and the hard floor head (which I didn’t see the point of, proved itself right away – brilliant!) I have three cats, two are long haired, and a dog, we have a lot of dust/mud in the kitchen as we live in the country and this vacuum makes quick work of it all. I had been losing it with my other vacuums as they’d spit bits out or not pick up the finer bits – this is no longer a problem with my Amazon vacuum – as someone with high expectations of a vacuum, I cannot praise this highly enough! If you want something akin to Miele, but not that price tag, buy this. I’ve tipped it over as others mentioned but not to the point it’s turned off, and that happened with my Miele too – I should mention, I’m not sponsored by this vacuum, I’m just so impressed and pleased I took the chance as I’ve saved 200 and am over the moon!

This hoover, a great deal cheaper than the last one I bought, performs far better. The suction power is better than excellent, it is easy to manoeuvre being quite lightweight, & it has various attachments to make it easier to reach those nooks & crannies & to give curtains & furniture a going over. It can be a little difficult when hoovering the stairs, but once I got the hang if it I no longer struggled. I like that, with the tap of your foot, the lead snakes back in to the machine, & the bags are easy to change. Very happy with my purchase.
This is a lovely little machine. It has decent power, is quiet, but above all – it is light. It comes with a full set of tools, including an extension tube which slides to become short or long. There is a reusable bag already fitted plus two more disposable bags in the box. And it looks good. My only slight worry is the bags….at the time of writing, 1.5L bags for this machine do not seem easy to buy on Amazon. But it’s a lovely product.
We already have a Henry Hoover for doing the cleaning, but I found it being too heavy when moving around and even heavier to carry it upstairs. So I was searching for a lighter vacuum cleaner that would be easy to carry on around and would do the cleaning as good as Henry. I’m glad I’ve purchased this Amazon Basics one since it’s easy to carry it and more important, which is the suction power – is really good! It’s same as Henry Hoover or even better, can’t tell exactly, but it’s doing the cleaning job just perfect. It’s emptying easy and the container capacity is good – no need for a bag which mean no unpleasant smell in time. Very happy with this purchase, hopefully it will serve us a long time.
This Vacuum Cleaner is just amazing. It has powerful suction power which you can adjust to your liking. Feels very well built and easy to use.
It comes with a preinstalled (microfiber) reusable bag and two extra (paper) disposable ones. A lot of different heads are included as well which make perfect use for different surfaces.
The joints are well connected and have a click to release button. Some parts are made of soft rubber for better grip and overall it feels very easy to use even in narrow areas (like under a sofa or bed).
I have used it a couple of times and i’ve never had any issues whatsoever. Amazing product for its price. Every part feels well made to the detail with a great performance in mind.
I totally recommend this product, its worth its money. Will be making another performance review in the following months to see how it goes.
Wow wow wow
I wasn’t holding out much hope for this product but took a risk after reading the good reviews and waying up the bad reviews.
I’m so glad I did…
When it arrived it was packed well and had plenty of attachment tools 🙂 but it’s fairly small so immediately I was thinking uh oh this is going to be crap I’ve made a mistake…I was wrong!
It’s has great suction I have a cordless vac but it’s not great, so I hoovered the house again today and honestly couldn’t believe how much it’s had picked up. It’s easy to use and easy to move about, yes it’s a plug in but worth putting up with the plug annoyance for the extra suction you get!
The box is easy to put and keep clean
The lead length was fine for me and I have some sizeable rooms.
All in all a great buy I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a really good basic Hoover 🙂
So nice to finally find something that works well 🙂 happy days
Omg it is absolutely amazing. It has taken me ages to make a decision about a new vacuum. This is beyond what I expected. It is amazing. I compared the spec with JL own brand and this at half the price is fantastic. Do not hesitate to buy this product. It is proper quality. It is so sturdy, if you are expecting a light weight cheapo you’ll be wrong. It is a sturdy solid cleaner. I’m so happy with it.
I bought one and used it almost everyday as my infants can pick up there food and go everywhere in the house with it and drop it while eating. So pretty much everyday and sometime wmtwice a day when they are being naughty.
After using it for 8 months I realised how heavy it can get and storage remains an issue at the same time. You cannot store a chubby looking hoover with pipe attached to it, and if you take it off then there is another item you need to store.
I bought this out of curiosity that how good can a hoover be in this price and I am impressed with the outcome.
It is very light weight, light enough to be carried while hoovering if your kids are trying to hold it.
Its is so powerful that you have to use it on a medium power so the hoover does not gets stuck on the carpet.
Excellent finish and strong pipe with a lot of flexibility on its head.
Very happy with purchase and sold my henry in two days after using this.
And all those people who have experienced or think it will not be durable should not forget the 2 year warranty and trouble free and always ready to help amazon customer service representatives.
Thumbs up Amazon.
I bought this for my office-lab and reception area.
It copes with the carpet, padded mats and laminated flooring just fine. And I love that you can adjust the amount of suction accordingly (on its highest setting it’s strong enough to lift the carpet tiles off the floor!)
Easy to manoeuvre and the stairs were also done with ease. Easy to empty and flush clean.
Haven’t replaced or cleaned the filter yet but it looks pretty straightforward.
I use a more famous brand at home but if that broke down I’d have no hesitation using this one instead.
What a great buy.

We purchased this product after our old Dyson vacuum died and we needed a replacement asap. Due to the lockdown, we decided on this one due to the speedy delivery. The price is of course excellent.
What we love about it is: how lightweight it is, the fact that is comes with multiple attachments, it has an indicator to signal when the bag us full, it takes both reusable and single use bags.
What we dislike about it: the suction power is way too strong even on the low setting causing difficulty, due to its light weight the vacuum often flips over while moving around the house ( that being said it also flips back just as easily so it is only a light inconvenience). Another limitation of this product is the fact that it is too short – if you are fairly tall (my partner is 5′ 11″) then it can feel a bit short.
I stopped buying bagged vacuums a few years ago as I was struggling to get hold of the bags. I used bagless for some time but having the vacuum on every day was leaning cleaning the filters more often. I was finding emptying them created a lot of dust.
After reading reviews on here, I thought I’d give it a try. I was not disappointed the suction was powerful and lifted the carpet. Pretty sure it’s picked up years of hair (slight exaggeration but it looked like it) I was happy to see if also takes mesh bags which last longer. Nice and lightweight, the air circulation is on top of the vacuum, unlike my old one. Would highly recommend
Wow, this is perfect for hoovering everywhere. The suction is so powerful I have to have it on minimum power to use on my carpets. The reloading of the cord is fast and efficient. I am so pleasantly surprised as it was cheap and I was expecting the worse. Only if turned out to be perfect. I only have a one bedroom cottage. Not sure if it would be durable in a 4/5 bedroom house. I would recommend people give it a try.
Extremely light weight and compact. Very strong suction power. Great for hard floors AND carpets. Very easy to move around. I don’t understand why most vacuum cleaners are so outrageously expensive when this one does the job so well at such a low price. You really can’t go wrong with this. Pick the 1.5l one if you need portability, light weight, or if you have a small (upto 3 bedroom house). Otherwise, get the 3l one that offers double the capacity for a slight increase in size and weight.
It comes with a good set of attachments. I find the crevice attachment particularly useful around corners and to get rid of pesky spider webs.
This is a wonderful device for students, graduates, and really anyone looking to buy a good vacuum cleaner for a great price.
Little hoover with a good suction on carpets , heavy mats but not light mats.
The suction power is as good at My old “Henry” . I liked Henry but is getting to heavy to move around especially up and down the stairs.
I have given up on dragging heavy hoovers around the house , more than 8 carpeted areas to hoover including stairs. Then I bought the cordless ones -two of them -I have pets. I kept one downstairs and one upstairs to avoid moving the hoover up and down the stairs.
Then the battery on both these cordless run out-needs new battery. One each, which I am not keen on buying again.
It is why I decided to check this Amazon vacuum which I admit it exceeded my expectations on how powerful it is. I use the very small ‘nose’ to make sure it lifts up all the dust. It picks up some dog hair. Bear in mind is not designed for this purpose. I needed something to literally lift up dust. I use the cordless hoovers for the hair on the pet mats. The cordless hoovers are designed for collecting pet hair although the battery now last only about 3 minutes.
Going back to this Amazon hoover. Is easy to use on the stair case as well. The cord comes out easily – good length -I did not measure it- and it goes back in its place very easily -so no rolling and rolling of the cable around when finishing .
Another plus for me -I can take the dust bag out easily-instead of emptying it like I did with the cordless ones.
It has a nice non intrusive design -I hoover every day so I tend to leave around at random because I am using it daily anyway and I think the black design is nice.
It works ok on heavy mats on the floor but not on light ones. It pulls up the light doggy mats.
The only thing that I would have liked is the height of it. Even extended to its highest I still have to bend slightly when using it.
Well I am glad I saw through the marketing of the big brands and flashy colours and bought this item.
This vacuum is extremely good value, lightweight and very versatile with included accessories which you can mix and match as the situation requires.
Although a corded vacuum may seem like a compromise, it does afford consistent and excellent power/suction. Some have mentioned that the cord isn’t long enough, so get a 5 extension cord to add 5m+… simple.
The unit is very light weight and has a useful swing out handle making it very easy to use on the stairs and in awkward areas. On the atairs (super awkward spiral!) I wiull take off the main tube and attach one of the accessories directly to the handle.
You really can’t expect much at this price point but you get a heck of a lot.
I live in a large 1 bedroom apartment which has awkward space, is over 3 floors with a spiral staircase & a pigeon ladder, it is 75% hard floor and remainder carpet.
A cordless vacuum would be useful but to get anywhere near the power of this vacuum I would probably need to spend 200+
Initially I found the hoover difficult to maneuver ( and we have a very short pile carpet ) but my wife came out with a brilliant idea and we tried the head from our defunct Miele. It fitted very well and the Hoover now is zipping everywhere.
Suction is excellent, noise minimal and as it weighs only 3.8 kg, you can do the stairs easily.
This hoover is only 42X24 cm and it will fit in a corner somewhere, you won’t know it’s there.
The day before I bought this hoover, I had bought a Miele and paid 220. The thing was heavy and difficuld to use.
Thanks to Amazon, I was able to send it back the next day.
I have given it five stars despite the head not user friendly but I like it a lot, I hoovered two cars in less that forty minutes and that included those pesky car mats.
At 45 it’s a bargain, the price of a chinese take-away and hopefully it should last longer.
I recently moved to a new place and needed a hoover that didn’t cost the earth but is good for keeping a roomy appartment clean. We have a mix of tiled, rugs and carpet flooring. For the price I was intrigued to try this product despite the mixed reviews. I actually trusted the lovely mother of 5 who reviewed this earlier above anyone else! The package arrived earlier than expected with free delivery and on opening discovered a well packed assortment of really useful add on tools. Simple to put together and operate. It’s design is modern, nice colour and has a good quality feel. The suction power is fantastic and is great for keeping all kinds surfaces clean and tidy. Really impressed and would happily purchase other amazon basic products because this is very good value for money!
Bought this to use as a side vac to use for my diy work.
Its suction is phenomenal even going as far as having to reduce suction occasionally.
I bought a brand new Miele Blizzard but been so happy with this little vac ive not even used my Miele yet.
Great value for money in my opinion. My daughter was impressed too so i purchased one for her too. She loves it. Its compact unlike my previous Dysons so fit into tight spaces for storage.
Great for those with not a lot of money to blow on a vacuum.
I bought this for my daughter and she tells me that the size belies the power,shes a bit of a messy girl and this little machine sucks all the detritus up, no messing its light,little,powerful and easy to empty. She has really long hair that goes past her bottom and it sucks it up in an instant,it just goes to show that the more expensive it is doesn’t mean that it’s better,I would definitely recommend this vacuum,I’m so impressed
Buy it. I own a regular Dyson and a 1900w 2013 vaccum pre eu regualtion. Both are loud and powerful so when i turned this on t had this weak noise but it surprised me with its suction capability. To clarify when you are used to the loud beasts that rip the fibers out of your carpets this does sound pathetic but when you stat using it it does its job;. Not as aggressive as the beasts but picks up all the rubbish. een on its very lowest setting it still sucks in crumbs and dust. I was surprised by that last bit. On its lowest setting it felt like it wasn’t even on. My kettle is louder than this setting.
Overall very good for the price. Nice looking, sucks well. Has a nob for variable suction which you can use to vacuum on different surfaces (very handy even my Dyson cant do this). the variable setting s ideal fr surfaces when the high suction setting wont allow you to move the stick.
I would buy this again over the other budget vacuums. Some people complain about anything but if you want something to clean with this will do the job, looks good, feels good and is cheap in price.
I purchased a few other amazon basic electronics in the past and generally from my experience when amazon stick their name on a product it turns out good.
Thanks amazon if it was another 10 cheaper would buy a second one.
I liked the idea of the reusable fabric vacuum bag but I can’t see how to empty it other than try to get all the dust back out through the wee hole it goes in through and then the dust goes everywhere!
Overall I’d def recommend this machine, just not the reusable bags for it.
This hoover is surprisingly, the best hoover I’ve bought by my own preference. For.the surprisingly low cost, you get a hoover which is impressively quiet, to the point where I wasnt sure I had actually turned it on properly. The auction on this hoover is really good and more importantly, adjustable, meaning formats, etc, dont get dragged along the floor.
The power cable is retractable via a butting making for a hoover that is easy to pack away without spending 5 minutes wrapping the cord around 2 infuriating pins.
The hoover comes with 4 additional accessories alongside its standard nozzle, maximizing the hoovers use.
Overall, the hoover provides a clean home stress free. I personally feel this hoover stands nicely along side some of the higher end and higher price ranges hoovers at a fraction of the cost.
Amazing purchase, would buy again.
I was so excited to recieve my vacuum cleaner today, I ripped open the box and.. Fell in love!
I have had many vacuum cleaners but never had a connection with one immediately.
The reason why I am so impressed is: The price
( quarter of the price of the higher end brands)
The suction ( very powerful)
The vacuum is lightweight and even walks up the stairs with you 🙂
Easy to use, you don’t even need to read the manual
Very impressed and hope the relationship will withstand for a long time.
#UPDATE 1
I vacuumed under my bed and could not believe all the dust that other vacuum cleaners missed! OMG, This machine is amazing.
Update 2
After almost a month, the hoover is now failing. The suction Is poor.
I have to empty the hoover every single time I use it.
Lots of inconvenience.
Amazon are refunding me
The team behind this product made an efficient, great-quality and considerate product.
I bought this vacuum cleaner to clean up after the bathroom fitter every day. I could not believe how powerful it was. It lifts the fitted carpet up the head will not move even on low power with the handle be vent open! I’ve had to cut out the 2 bits of plastic at each end of the head unit to let some extra air in so I could move it. I now have the advantage of having edge to edge cleaning. The wife now uses it instead of the Dyson Ball vacuum as it cleans better. Amazon, Please keep the price low so others may benefit from this amazing cleaner.
If you’re looking for a hoover that can literally suck up any last bit of dust from your carpet this is the one for you.
You can adjust the suction power accordingly and this hoover could literally suck the crap out of the people we call politicians.
As an added note please don’t use this as a marital aid as I no longer have a penis as it’s that powerful
Sturdy hose and attachment easy to assemble.
Powerful suction easy to empty and clean.
Great value for money .
I would highly recommend the Amazon cyclonic
Love all the different attachments, there are two floor sweepers, one for carpets ans one for hard floors and tiles, both are great! The flexi hose is nice and long and the metal bit is great as you can change the length of it. The suction is like no other hoover I’ve ever had, sometimes a bit too much (it can pull your carpet up!) BUT that is no problem because you just turn the suction down, even the lowest suction gets everything up! and even better, this NEVER LOSES SUCTION EVEN WITH A FULL BAG!! This is something bagless hoovers claim, but my last two lost suction when they got a bit full and they were both dysoons.. THIS IS BETTER THAN THEM. The other thing is that I did not realise how gross bagless were, dust and craap flying out everywhere when you empty it, not with this, I love being able to just pull the bag out, drop in the bin, no dust and bits all over the place – lovely. It moves about on the floor easily, the filters are easy to clean. I can even get 3/4 way up the stairs with it sitting at the bottom! This is amazing value for money and I’ll never go back to mr dysoon again.
The only negative for some could be that it is heavy, I was surprised at how heavy it is but its not a problem for me. So glad I purchased this, it was meant to be temporary until I could afford a new dysoon but I won’t be bothering, I’ve no need to!

This hoover ( 3L size) is an amazing product, I have always used and purchased the Henry, Industrial Numatic hoover due to its suction power and lasting for numerous years….. I have really got to review this hoover and inform all those who are looking to purchase a new hoover, as this hoover certainly can be rated all above those out there on the market, once I received my goods ( next day delivery) , I set up the hoover straight away to try and test it’s suction power as it had great reviews on its quality and power of how much suction this hoover can operate at. I can’t believe the power of suction this hoover can operate…. And I honestly don’t need to set its suction power to the max. setting provided, it is more than capable to do more than it’s job at medium or low setting….. ( I had to hold/pull down my rugs away from this mighty machine due to its powerful suction ) The retractable cord / cable is long enough to hoover all one level, including in /out each room (s) without having the need to unplug at different socket points each time you reach those far away corners /areas. This amazing powerful hoover comes with many attachments for various types of flooring and furnishings that you may want to remove dust from…. I will definitely recommend this item to all, as this certainly excels the Henry industrial Numatic hoover (which I cannot believe my self) this hoover has immense suction power, so lightweight to carry up and down as you hoover your stairs / landings and to top it off I do not need to unplug my hoover at all on each level at different socket points allowing me to whizz about my home in no time, this hoover certainly exceeds my expectations, this hoover is going to be my first choice without a doubt if and when I ever need to purchase my next hoover…… And I can honestly say “without a doubt this hoover is worthy of its powerful capability and price”. Thanks amazon for bringing this hoover on the market, love it.

Impressed!! I never take time to write reviews but felt the need to for this super little hoover.
My old Dyson Animal had come to the end of its life. As we are currently in the process of renovating our home I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a new hoover for it to get ruined by the amount of dust and debris it would be sucking up. I wanted something that would do us for now until we eventually finish the renovation and have new carpets etc.
Well…..what can I say…this hoover is amazing. It feels like I’ve gone back in time having used an upright hoover for so long but don’t let that out you off. It’s very light weight and moves around the room well. I love the fact that the handle is extendable, perfect for a shorty like me but but also for storage. It’s has lots of useful attachment, I don’t think they attach to the hoover in any way (I haven’t actually checked to be honest) but that doesn’t matter. The suction is fantastic!! My Dyson was never this powerful I’m sure. Even when set to minimum the suction is great.
For the price you really cannot go wrong with this hoover. I’m not sure how long it will last in this building site of a home but I would 100% buy another. Thanks Amazon.
Only recently got this to replace a 10 month old Karcher that gave up the ghost after only 10 months of light use.
I bought this Amazon Basics job for vacuuming out the car, and wondered if it would have enough power to lift dirt, but need not have been concerned as it seems to have plenty of suction.
It comes with a two year warranty (unlike the Karcher) so if it goes wrong, I reckon Amazon won’t quibble.
Tools are ok for light use, and the hose seems ok ( bit longer would be great) so here’s hoping it keeps on going.
I haven’t see such a suction performance in vacums. Will write detailed review later on. I wish if Amazon can make similar in upright and handsheld.
Edit1: the resilience in bristles is far better than competitors. The lock mechanism can be improved.
Regards
The good:
* The price – it is *considerably* cheaper than the brand leader
* It is lightweight and may be of use to a person with limited strength in their hands
* It is good to have as a second cleaner or for use in a boat or caravan
* It is compact, plus it comes with a small selection of tools (crevice and round bristle) and a plastic device to store them on the machine
The bad:
* It has quite a plasticky construction and wouldn’t be able to stand the wear and tear of family life
* The round brush dusting tool was pretty useless on the stairs
My second Dyson cleaner broke down and I decided I wasn’t spending a fortune on another one for a two bedroom apartment.
I read Which and also checked out the John Lewis vacuum cleaner. This one’s slightly smaller brother got a Best Buy in Which, it also looked similar to the John Lewis one, which got good customer reviews. So I decided to take the risk.
Excellent vacuum cleaner for considerably less than any Dyson.
I had become disillusioned with the Dyson anyway.
This machine’s suctions is really excellent. Gives the two rooms with carpets a fantastic clean.
The main room and hallways are wooden floors and this vacuum just sweeps and sucks everything up. Also excellent on the tiles in the bathroom and kitchen.
The house was spotless at the end.
It comes with several accessories for cleaning.
Is easy to pull along and also easy to carry.
I am really pleased I bought this vacuum cleaner.
I am chuffed because I now have a cleaner for a lot less money than my expensive Dyson.
A true bargain. No need to send more!

Didn’t believe some of the reviews for this product as I had bought this at a knock down price. Yes its bagged but does that really matter. Well it arrived well packaged in its box and was surprised how many brushes it had inside. Read the instructions as you do put it together switched it on. The suction power of this little machine is fantastic. I have mostly wooden floors on the ground floor had to pull the nozzle off the floor as it was stuck to it. There were two floor brushes with this just used the wrong one for carpets not hard floors. It came with a cloth bag and two paper bags which is just enough. It comes with a bag full indicator so you know when to empty the bag. One word for this little machine with excellent suction and brushed “fantastic”.

I’ve had upright vacuum cleaners for about forty years and was loath to give up my old Dyson but the fact was it was getting too heavy and awkward for me to cart up and down the stairs…and I only have a little house now!
I compared reviews and decided to chance this Amazon model. Cheap as chips and very efficient. Very easy to empty. The only thing I don’t like about it is the top part of the hose; it’s a slightly odd shape for me but I’m getting used to it.
Heaven knows how long it will last but at this price, well!
The vacuum cleaner is very efficient at removing “loose” dirty from carpets but sometimes struggles to pick up dirt which is entwinned in the pile of the carpets – but I suspect other more expensive cleaners might also struggle. The only “problem” I have encountered when using the vacuum cleaner is, even with the suction set to minimum and the vent in the hose fully open, is that it sucks up some carpets and gets stuck on a thick piled carpet – however when I use the hard floor attachment it works very well. Compared to my previous cylinder vacuum cleaner, it is heavier but is still OK to use on the stair carpet.
My main criticism (hence the drop from five to four stars) is that the suction is _so_ powerful, it makes it quite hard to move the head back and forth on carpet (not so much of a problem on hard floors). That’s with suction set to minimum and even with the hose vent open. It does clean well, but just takes more effort for that reason, so we’re actually using it only for hard floors and using our old (generally less effective) one for carpet.
It comes with the usual set of handy attachments (crevice tool etc), which can be stowed at the top of the hose using a holder provided, but it’s easy to catch it and knock it off so we keep them separate. Also, when upright you have to be careful to grab the unit by the recessed handle and not the catch for the cover (which I’ve done a few times by mistake). When horizontal, there’s a separate fold-out handle.
Finally, the bit where the flexible hose joins the metal pipe isn’t all that tight (on ours at least) so I’ve had the two come apart during use a few times. Could really do with a proper catch. Not a major issue though, and could be fixed with some tape if need be, but still an area that could be improved upon. Overall, still happy with the machine, especially for the price.
Ideal if you need an easy to push lightweight hoover, suction not very strong but the brush on the end makes up for this by lifting debris off the carpet, I have bought expensive pet vacums previously and have been disappointed but this time very pleased and as long it lasts a year I’ll be happy with this purchase. I have long hair and 2 cats and find this hoovers up everything I need it to easily.
My only critisim is that the lead could be a little longer as this only gets 90% of the way round my flat in one go but for the price I can live with it.
This is an amazing little vacuum for such an inexpensive cost I have used both upright and cylinder versions of Hoover, Dyson, Miele and Sebo in my homes, and was looking for a vacuum that would be inexpensive, light, and do a good job in a second property. This fits the bill more than any of the others mentioned above. The Hoover was simple to use but heavy; all my Dysons (both cylinder and upright) have been too complicated to use in a flash; the Miele cylinder was a bit unwieldy to drag around; and the Sebo – whilst powerful – is large and heavy. This little Amazon Basics vacuum is very portable in both size and weight. There are simple suction controls, a variety of attachments kept on the handle, and the cable reach is perfectly good, as is the reach on the handle. It will stand upright on narrow stairs, or pull around like a happy dog as you negotiate chairs, tables, etc. It’s easy to change the bag – and, being ‘Basics’, are inexpensive to purchase. The suction power is remarkable, and I can see the carpet being lifted as I work round. Even my husband loves it and commented, the first time he used it, on how amazing it is.
how joyful it is when you clean your rooms with an electrical device which does the job for you but perfectly !
when I was placing an order for this type of vacuum , branded as amazon basic cylinder , I was in doubt that maybe I am doing wrong and should be looking to find a well-known vacuum cleaner which at least has some reputation on it but after receiving my purchased hoover and using it , my doubt has gone away and now I can say I really did the right thing to buy this brand : AmazonBasics Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner !
It arrived in a brown box , a carefully placed black colour shiny vacuum cleaner with lots of accessories in the box , also came with bags and a handbook with enough directions of how to use the device
what can I say about : there is nothing fancy about the shape and design of this hoover , it almost looks like 80s era vacuum cleaners which had simple design but were really good working hoovers as when I started to use it , it just reminded me of good old days electrical devices with long lasting life cycle.
It has a really strong suck , it is not terribly noisy ( so would cause you no headache ) and pick up almost everything from a carpeted floor , I cleaned two rooms , a hall and a kitchen floor and still the bag inside the hoover has enough space to accommodate more dust and debris , if you want to use it with max power , the nozzle would stick to your carpet like a glue and you have to push it hard just to move the nozzle around the floor so it is a must to use the slide knob for regulating suction !
So far I am really happy with this little machine and I think it really worth every pound I spent on it as I had a bagless hoover which never worked like Amazon basics vacuum , so my advice :
Ignore bad reviews and buy this hoover with confidence before it goes missing from the Amazon search box ! It doesn’t have all those bells and whistles which well known hoovers usually have but it does the job and good enough just to give a smile to your rooms.
God bless
Positives
1. Extremely good value for money
2. Telescopic metal extender tool-holder has easy to use rachet adjuster for length – very useful if you are small and don’t need the full length of the two telescopic tubes joined together.
3. Lightweight and thus very easy to carry – especially useful for her Ladyship who is quite small (but perfectly formed!)
4. Compact storage — stands upright with handle on top: so much easier to pick up than the horizontal ones I’ve used before
5. Very quiet
6. Perfectly adequate standard set of tools
7. Powerful and easily adjustable suction — low setting adequate for normal use
8. Easy to open to change / empty dust bag
9. Sufficient length of cord with internal storage
10. Black finish looks smart
Potential Negative
Not bag-less but I don’t find this a real disadvantage bearing in mind how well it vacuums. Having had bagged vacuums before I never really found it much of a chore to empty them — and replacement paper bags can be sourced quite cheaply. This vacuum cleaner replaces a cheap Zanussi bagless (now relegated to garage for outdoor use) which is still messy to empty but of course incurs no bag replacement costs. The included cloth bag should be re-useable and with a little care it should be possible to empty it with no more mess than the Zanussi (come to think of it, I’ll probably use the Zanussi to hoover out the bag’s contents).
Highly recommended.
So i bought this little cylinder vacuum Hoover which is ideal for shag pile and rugs, it’s cheap and cheerful but great value for money I’m so glad I bought it now..
1st.. suction…..Brilliant it might be only 700 watt but boy is it powerful, another reviewer stated that it lift mats and yes it does but you can either turn down the power or open up the air intake.
2nd..cylinder model…replaced a Shark rotator liftaway upright and the Amazon cylinder basic is much, much better.
3rd…Comes complete with 3 bags but have purchased another pack of 10 paper bags for less than 10 bargain.
4th… Comes complete with a 2 year guarantee so for 40 how can you go wrong.
Absolutely loving the vacuum now that i am use to it and really glad I bought it.
