Powerful and strong
Oh so happy with this purchase,small but might hover,suction is soooo good,cord length reliable good as well.I am in love with this hover,my room and stairs soooo clean now.
For a basic vacuum it is amazing and good value. Easy to clean after use.
Other reviews did state they did not know where the attachments went, so I have included a picture. It simply clips onto the pipe…
I have bought many vacuum cleaners and this is the cheapest and most effective. Small and powerful and doesn’t lose suction. Rush buy, but very happy with it. Taken a while to write a review, as wanted to see if it lost suction…it hasn’t and its been 2 months, I use it daily…Two toddlers!
Small but powerful
I love this vacuum cleaner. I haven’t got much storage, so this is perfect as it doesn’t take up a lot of space. It’s powerful & with very good suction. It came with different attachments. Only had it for a few weeks so haven’t emptied it yet nor cleaned the filter.
Good price & definitely recommend.
Pleasantly surprised
It’s 10 times better than the vacuum cleaner (Hoover brand) I had before. Really brilliant product for the price
Really great suction! Works well
Surprised by the strong suction. Have had it for 2 months now and it’s pretty powerful and great for carpets or floors.
That it does an excellent job for the money.
That the vacuum cleaner is very efficient and light-weight and especially quiet. In these challenging times finding a product that does the job at modest cost is a priority. In addition, Amazon is a reliable company, so if an item doesn’t fulfil expectations you can return it with confidence. Please note, this is not an upright machine; you will have to bend down to clean; worth bearing in mind.
Smart little hoover ,very powerful,would recommend i
The sucton power really good and cord length ideal for the stair , well worth the price .
Reasonable price, light and practical vacuum
I like it as is not too bulky to storage, has lots of accessories and is light to clean my stairs. The suction power is enough for what I need.
The only downside I found is the cable. Mot long enough to cover all my stairs distance. I have to stop cleaning half way and plug the vacuum downstairs. No a big issue but would be great to have 1 more meter of cable.
Fantastic product, highly recommend
Ive used quite a few vacuum cleaners over the years and this is definitely one of the best
Small and lightweight but great suction. The tools are excellent to get into all the hard to get to bits aswell as upholstery, hardwood floors, tiles and carpets
Only downside for me is the cable which could do with being a couple of meters longer.
I use a small extension cable so less changing sockets
Highly recommend this product
We’ll done Amazo
Great suctio
For a small basic vacuum cleaner this has very good suction. It comes with a brush set for corners and curtains etc. Great value from Amazon.
Excellent value for money
Really pleased with this, small, so perfect for a small house or someone on their own, wouldn’t be suitable for a medium/ large household
Great value
Excellent little hoover. Bought for my son who has a long haired cat. This brought up all the cat hairs and reasonable priced too. I will certainly buy one next for myself
Great basic lightweight cylinder vacuum
Wanted a really lightweight cylinder cleaner as got a bad back. Suction is great – we have a black dog – really impressed with it.
When this arrived I was not expecting much due to the small size. However it certainly packs a punch, to the point it was sucking up my carpet. Cord length is good and It’s done a brilliant job. Highly recommend.
Hoove
Just does exactly what it says it does , great little product.
Works well for a small vacuum
Easy to empty and works well for such a small little vacuum
Good little hoove
Lightweight and easy to use but the cord is just too short.
Suction is very good
Quiet hoover with good suction. Easy to clear out & clean.
Efficie
For the price I think it is great and does exactly what I want. Others have said tube falls off put on properly it does not. After having a Goblin for over 20yrs its a great replaceme
Great powerful little hoove
I know 2 people that have this hoover & was recommended to buy 1 – it’s really good
Nice quiet vacuum cleaner plenty of suction for the price
As I cannot get a cable from my flat to my car I can run it with my solar generator inverter as the wattage is very low just the job.
Great Vacuum Cleane
Brilliant for the price suction is great and good all round Vacuum Cleaner.
Great suction and very lightweigh
This vacuum cleaner is very lightweight and has great suction. Excellent value for money.
Even after many weeks since purchase, this hasn’t lost any suction power. For a low price you can’t fault it. This isn’t a good hoover for stairs due to no handle for carrying while in use but you could always just buy a longer hose and attach it to this one.
Good little produc
Useless size for vacuuming stairs. Great for quick jobs, good for the car. Value for money.
Amazing
For 50 quid this is a truly amazing product…the suction power makes my old vacuum look embarrassing
broke down under a yea
Seemed fine at the start, The cord stopped pulling in after a few months and the suction completely stopped. Awful produc
Wow!!
Extremely impressed with this little hoover. The suction is so good I have to let air in to move it! It’s quiet and light weight, just what I was looking for. It’s perfect for my flat, I like the different attachments for floor surfaces too.
quiet ! Value far more than the money . I couldn’t tolerate the noise from previous machines . When I use this one , so quiet , suction power strong as well . Different heads . My children love it as well . ” not noisy ” . On the day arrival , we had a whole house inside fully clean :floor to roof ,windows , door , every gap & corner etc . Nice , fresh
Its very powerful, light and so easy to use.
Like that the long extension tube is metal and has groves in it so you can adjust for your height.
A cracking vacuum
Great litte hoover for money
Cord length for me could be longer and not totally ok for stairs perhaps a strap for shoulders to carry would be easie
Good vacuum cleane
I really like it , its doing a great job so far but still i only have it for one month don’t know what will happen in the future
Good value for money
Not the most powerful vacuum cleaner but if you regularly clean the filter it does a decent job. Perfect for my hardwood floors.
Small but mighty!
I love it because it does what it says!
Having pets hair is a bit everywhere, this vacuum cleaner is amazing, all hair is in one place now.
Does the job for the price
This is a convenient decent hoover. It has good suction power at first and was able to do a couple rooms, but it is medium suction power after a few uses. If you need a quick hoover to clean buy it. I am having it as a temporary tide over hoover for now.
I would highly recomended
Very very efficient vaccum cleaner! It delivered more than l was expecting. Very good value for money. I would highly recomended.
Excelle
This is the best little hoover I’ve ever used . Great suction many different tools . Grea
Doesn't work after a while
The suction stops working after a while even if you look after the hoover well
Small but packs a punch
Initial thought once I unpacked the vacuum was it was a little small. Considering I didn’t pay much for it and it’s for the office, I thought I’d give it a go. I was mightily impressed that it picked up all the little bits off the fall in one swoop. My older 2200w VAX struggled to pick anything up and I’d find myself going over the same spots over and over to pick up the little bits. I guess it must have really needed replacing and this wasn’t a bad choice.
The carpet head was sucking up the vinyl in the kitchen area, so it’s best to swap over to the hard floor head.
Really impressive!
Great machine
Easy to empty and if you feel like the power is low you just need to clean it out. Actually sucks onto the floor on full power and we’ve had it a while. (Also power is adjustable)
This is important as reading through the reviews I see several different vacuum cleaners reviewed not just the one I was looking for.
Pros- small lightweight powerful suction
Cons- can’t find replacement filters yet due to Amazon recommendation of accessories including the bagged version in the search (the black bagged vacuum in the video) this isn’t my hover the bags won’t fit get a grip Amazon sort your products out to separate reviews and accessories.
Check the reviewer has the vacuum you want before reading their reviews !
Decent little hoove
If you need something that is light and simple to use this is perfect, has all the additional parts needed, very study so can definitely recommend.
Your average hoove
Well arrived, easy to assemble pretty decent to be fair good piece of equipment used it for some Maid roleplay with my Mrs by sticking the tube inside the area , pretty sturdy I do recommend !
Light to move, great suctio
I wanted a hoover with bags as the dust produced from bagless is a real bore. I started this hoover on the lowest suction and it has never moved from there. It is a truly awesome cleaner and lifts the car carpets up despite their fixings. Good lead length and dust free cleaning makes this cleaner a good buy!

WORKS WELL ENOUGH FOR A LOW POWERED UNIT
HAPPY ENOUGH WITH THIS ITEM IT IS LOW WATTAGE BUT POWERFUL ENOUGH I USE IT MAINLY FOR THE CAR AS MY UPRIGHT IS FAR TO BIG AND CUMBERSOME
Very light and easy to use
This great value for money. I was on the cusp of buying another brand that was more expensive. I am very pleased with my purchase. Great suction can tackle both hard floors and carpets. I have a dog so it can cope with pet hairs too
Good vacuum cleane
Does the job adequately and easy to use and a positive has a instructions manual .
Have been using it for past two weeks and my carpets are nice and clean .Does edging and corners brilliantly and have no cause for to complain .Looking for a inexpensive vacuum cleaner then this is one to consider
A few weeks on and have empty dust/ dirt chamber and still working ok . Remember this is cheap and cheery so don’t expect a Dyson which is ridiculously over priced .
Brilliant value
Great little hover top of the poll is adjusted for your height also comes with 2 main heads.
Fantastic value for money I would definitely recommend it.
I took a chance ordering an Amazon own brand and it definitely paid of.
I will look at more Amazon own brands as this hover is excellent value for money.
Almost 5 star!
I was used to a 2Kw hoover with amazing suction but that died a few years ago. I bought this Amazon machine and was surprised at the suction which is fantastic!! VARIABLE suction is brilliant. Telescopic tube is fab and easy to use. The handle end of the tube is very lightweight and lovely to use – Standard 32mm I think!. The wide floor brush unit is good quality (need to turn suction down most of the time using this). Almost all the other accessories are a waste of time – My criticisms are: Needs a horse hair round head brush (available on Amazon separately) for dusting surfaces. Cord needs to be 3 meters longer, minimum. Flexible tube needs to be longer – can’t reach top of units or curtains without carrying the machine and standing on a chair. Having said all this I think it is amazing value for money and almost as good as the machines costing a heck of a lot more – as far as I can see. Suggestion: Try this one first and then think about the expensive ones – Their tools and flashy heavy multi-control handles are a pain in the rear!
Very good but make sure you regularly wash the filters
I had one of these really good. However you must wash the filters regularly or the suction greatly reduces.
Almost 5 star!

Great Little Hoover & Great Price
Having spent a fortune on other hoovers, I can’t be more pleased with this one :). Great price and it does the job and then some. suction really excellent and very lightweight so for somebody with a very dodgy back and a disability like myself it is really good. Would seriously recommend.

Great vacuum cleane
Great suction, good in every way. Only drawback is the cord length.
Good for a small model
This fits my needs but the suction is not what i would wish for if I had more space to store i
Nice little Vac
Nice and small, I like that it has holder for the different bits, the only annoying thing is the cable length. Seems to work pretty well so far.
does the job
ot the most powerful, nor the quietest vacuum I have ever owned, but does the job effectively with minimum fuss.
Great little vacuum
Great little vacuum decent length on cord very light weigh
Light weight with good suction at a affordable price
Very light weight which was good for me due to a bad back , suction was great and has a dial to control power , compact bagless see through compartment which allows you to see when it needs emptying, cord could of been a little longer to allow for stairs as I don’t have a power point at the bottom of my stairs but managed by plugging at top and working back wards , very good affordable price so all in all very pleased with the product highly recommended
Thought it would be more powerful
It’s Ok but even on max it’s still not that powerful for its size and price level.
Brilliant machine
Not really one for writing reviews unless an item is particulary bad or has exceed expectations. In this case it is the latter. Our last machine (hoover) gave up over a month ago and I spent a good few days looking round for a replacement before I decided on a purchase. I already had the Amazon Basics 1.5L version, for use in the garage/workshop, and had had to use this machione whilst looking for a replacement. Was reasonably impressed with performance of the smaller machine so decided to order the 3.0L version, I figured that even if it was no good I’d only have spent 54 and not wasted too much money!
As it turns out, this machine is brilliant. The suction power is phenomenal! I have never had the motor speed on anything other than the lowest setting and it is still more powerful than our previous machine. I noticed that some of the reviews mention that the suction power noticeably decreases after a few months but all these reviews seem to refer to the bagless version. So far I’m well pleased with it and it does a wonderful job all round the house.
Be careful when ordering replacement bags, make sure you order bags for the 3.0L machine. Many pages state they are suitable but are often for the smaller 1.5L machine only. I have found that the Menalux 4000 bags are the correct ones and fit perfectly.
For the price a real bargain and it performs just aswell, if not better, as many more expensive vacuums.

Bargain hoove
This is best hoover I have used under 150 and although basic performs well and is well worth the price.
Good Vacuum Cleane
It is a good product and sucks well. Can get straight to work out of the box, assembly of parts easy to do. My only gripe with this product is the air vent control on the hose tends to pop off too easily, and I can see it getting lost at some point in the future.
Perfect for a small fla
Bought for a second home and it works just fine for small mess and general dust.
Surprised at price and quality but have not tested on anything heavy
for my small one bed flat? Perfec
I moved into a small one bed flat and kept sweeping with dustpan and brush, not able to keep up with dust. Bought this hoover and very pleased, suctioned up so much dirt I couldn’t believe it. Easy to empty the dirt. I have no pets but my flat is very small with carpet everywhere expect kitchen and bathroom. So its perfect buy for me. Very easy to assemble and easy instructions on cleaning it all.
Easy to use
Powerful suction, easy to use, would have preferred a longer cord length

.POWERFULL. Light and quiet I live in a modest 3 bed and it won't reach all the way up the stairs.
The cord length is too short. The cleaner though is fab.
Good for price
Bought for my son. Suction was very good and it worked fine on the stairs as came qith different attachments. Seems good for the price
Good powe
Excellent machine. Very powerful. Works very well, shame about the power lead being a little on the short side.
Good little vacum
My Mrs bought this and, to be honest, I was very sceptical that it would be any good. However, for 60 it’s actually quite decent. It doesn’t have as much suction as our old Dyson (which had a replacement high power motor fitted) but it does the job and is very light / compact so it’s good for cleaning stairs.
So, is it the most powerful? Nope. Does it do the job? Yes, and it does it well. Is it well worth 60? Definitely!

Good value,easy to use and clean,short cord
Perfect for me as I’m disabled, it’s a great hover,it’s so easy to use, the hose has a button on it wich you press to make it go longer or shorter,! On other hovers when it’s time to empty you have to pull the hover apart to change the bag wich I find a right faff but when this hover fills up it’s so easy to empty just click the handle and compartment releases then hold it above the bin press release and it drops out into the bin. The only thing is the cords length is a bit short but it’s made up by the fact that the cord also winds itself back in really quickly by touch button also. So all round I think it’s a great buy! I definitely recommend

Great suctio
I think the only cons I have found to this vacuum cleaner are the cord length (very short) and the space it takes up to store due to the hose (small machine but where you hook the hose in to store makes it bulky). The suction is powerful, it’s very easy to empty and its light.
Great little vac
I’ve had some building work done and my Shark cleaner, while great on the floor is not really suitable for vacuuming other bits so bought this cleaner to do the job of vacuuming up all the mess/dust. Very good suction and easy to empty. Good range of tools which make the job really easy. Only minor downside is the cord length is a bit on the short side. Overall, a good produc
Excellent value and performance
I am extremely happy with everything about this purchase – overall quality, ease of assembly and cleaning. and of course, performance. This was the third cylinder vacuum cleaner I tried and not only does it give me the best performance of the three, but is also half the price of the others I tried! Super long cable, the various attachments and hose all fit together and pull apart easily and the suction power is awesome. It comes with several attachments (and more than other models at twice the price). Great value, thoroughly recommended.

Neatly designed cute wee vacuum that seems to work well.
In April 2020, my beloved Miele hoover fell to bits. Literally. A big lump of plastic facing near the back fell off. It still worked, so I stuck it back on with gaffer tape. But then my grandson went on and on about something he said I’d hoovered up, so I took the tape off to look….and then I couldn’t get it lined up again. So I bought a Duronic bagless hoover. Didn’t like it. Had to do a lot of coaxing to make it hoover up cat fur. It was horrible to clean out too. So when the head kept falling off as I used it… Yep, lovely excuse to go back to a hoover with BAGS. And I found this one. I didn’t know there was an Amazon Basics range….
This is a lovely looking hoover. However shallow that is, it does matter to me. It’s very compact, very light, a lovely, shiny black, with shiny chrome pipes and easy to understand knobs and switches which operate well. It has a neat handle in front and another in the back. And it comes with a washable, reuseable bag – mmm, not for me – and two paper ones which are fairly easy to fit. SO good.
I got hoovering straight away. It seems to deal with cat fur well, and biscuit crumbs… The cord doesn’t shoot across the room like it’s possessed. And it fits in my crowded cupboard with room to spare. I love it. So far, so really excellent.

Huge suction, small but mighty, great under cupboards and furniture 5* rating
This vacuum has great suction, good array of tools, it get’s under the furniture without moving it, which is huge when you are 68 and female, stores neatly, mine it the bagless version, some reviews were for a previous model, only downside is I can’t attach the small tools to the hose, but that is probably operator error, the cable could be longer but I have a small house so it’s ideal, and I can’t rate the stairs because I don’t have any, but all in all I feel it is definitely worthy of 5*s – thank you Amazon Basics, top product 🙂

Crazy powerful suction!
Over the decades I’ve generally stuck to the smiley faced vacuum we all know and love.
I purchased this vacuum expecting half the performance. But boy was I wrong! The suction on this thing is crazy, I’ve had to turn it to minimum suction and open the vent on the handle just to be able to push it over the carpet. Never experienced such suction! Could be a downside if your struggling with upper body strength mind.
The one thing I find annoying from time to time is the length of the lead. I understand its to make it more compact and lighter. But I feel it would be more practical if it were 6m plus.

Good enough for a professional cleane
I am a professional domestic cleaner, and a Henry Hoover has been my number one vacuum of choice for years, as they are unbreakable, reliable, strong suction, extra long cable, can manage big bits and so rarely block, and have great accessories.
But I am a cleaner who walks from job to job, with my equipment including vacuum in a trolley, and I decided I wanted to try something smaller and lighter. I read that these were. Which best buy, and one reviewer said it was as good as a Henry, so I decided to give it a go.
I selected the wired (can’t risk running out of charge on a job) and bagged (unbagged is too messy and a faff to empty) and I noticed this version seems to have more 5 star reviews than the other models.
So far, I’ve used it for about 50 hours of cleaning, and so far so good. It is indeed significantly smaller and lighter than my Henry, and probably as powerful.
The only thing I dislike is the dusting brush, which has short nylon bristles and doesn’t compare to the long horse hair Henry brush, but neither does any other brand I have used. It does a slightly annoying thing, where if I flip it up/down whole dragging it along, it turns itslef off, and I have to switch it back on, but I can live with that. The cable isn’t as long as my Henry, but it does sit easily on staircases so I don’t need it to be as long.
The long handlebar extends up and down at the click of a button, which makes it really easy to fold down small, perfect for cleaners like me, or if you want to take it away somewhere like a caravan, but need the height of an upright hoover.
As it’s so compact, the bags fill up much more quickly than my Henry, and I think the bags available are quite steep (about 9 for 3-5 from various retailers) but if just using at home, and not filling them quickly, this is probably fine. It comes with a reusable fabric bag, which is not easy to empty, but I put on a mask and rubber glove to empty it to save buying lots of bags.
So far, so good. It is certainly adequate as a professional domestic cleaner. I am concerned that some reviews said it quickly lost suction, so I will report back if this happens.

The cable isn’t as long as my Henry, but it does sit easily on staircases so I don’t need it to be as long.
The long handlebar extends up and down at the click of a button, which makes it really easy to fold down small, perfect for cleaners like me, or if you want to take it away somewhere like a caravan, but need the height of an upright hoover.
As it’s so compact, the bags fill up much more quickly than my Henry, and I think the bags available are quite steep (about 9 for 3-5 from various retailers) but if just using at home, and not filling them quickly, this is probably fine. It comes with a reusable fabric bag, which is not easy to empty, but I put on a mask and rubber glove to empty it to save buying lots of bags.
So far, so good. It is certainly adequate as a professional domestic cleaner. I am concerned that some reviews said it quickly lost suction, so I will report back if this happens.
Good suctio
I would say that overall, this is a good little vacuum.
The suction is decent and it does the job. Isn’t too heavy or too big. My only qualm would be that the suction strength can’t be turned down which can be a pain when vacuuming some surfaces.
Rugs – there is a special head/accessory for rugs which is good and overcomes the issues of not being able to turn down the suction strength
Laminate – suction is so strong that it can be difficult to vacuum laminate but still does a decent job. Best to open the valve to reduce suction and stop the vacuum sticking to the floor
Having to change the vacuum heads/accessories for different surfaces is a bit fiddly, hence, I would have preferred the option to change suction strength. Overall, it does a good job and value for money

It sucks....Okay
Yet another hoover in my house, what is wrong with my wife. We gave one to my daughter left with a Shark and Dyson…so we need another none cordless….for what? I know its another terrifying noise to scare the wits out of one of my dogs. Sorry if you want a product review -its a good hoover, sucks up okay, does what it says on the box. Unlike my wife
I’ve had this little vacuum for a while now and it hasn’t lost any suction power, still performs excellently and was well worth the money. Clearly very durable and the cord is just about long enough for my apartment to get in all the rooms without switching plugs. I would say the one minor issue is that it does fill up quite quickly, so could perhaps benefit from a larger container otherwise the suction power is reduced if it needs to be emptied. Aside from this though it is great!
Excellent but needs to be cleaned out regularly.

Wow. For a budget vac, it’s is great!
Okay, so worked awesome at first. Very light so it can flip easily, but I wanted it light.
Suction dropped, I checked and I had not closed the cylinder properly. Gave it a push. Clicked it on and the suction was back!
So far I’m happy. Some say the suction dies, I’ve used it 3 times with no issues. Maybe it will get less but so far I’m happy. Be aware I don’t have carpets. Though I do have some rugs. Cleans both with no issues!
Cheap but effective cleaner (can't say hoover or you know who :-D )
Works a charm. Wanted a cheap, durable cleaner that we wouldn’t cry over if and when it falls apart. Amazon basics came up trumps! Works well for its small size. Does fill up quickly (obvs) and the cord is laughably short to be used as a room cleaner but for cleaning up a small area after some intensive DIY it works a treat. Currently looking at spare filters – this seems to be an issue as there is no specific replacement but there are many, many out there – something will fit 😀

Power machine
Good:
– Great suction
– Very useful accessories to suck dust from various places, not just the floor.
– Bin is extremely easy to empty as compare to previous ones i used from Hoover and other brands.
– Best thing is ability to control the suction power which is hard to find in many brands.
– Does not take much space in the store.
– Simply amazing at this price.
– Great for carpets too but you need to run it on high power (using the controller).
Bad:
– Just that the extension rod/pipe is little bulky but I’d not bother about it compare to its “good” features.
Overall: Highly recommended.
