    I like this but it’s only really good for hard floors and no use for animal fur.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersIm so glad I purchased this. I have been putting it off for months but needed something light weight as i had bad hands. It does as it supposed to. Super lightweight, the suction is alot better than my henry hoover. I cleaned my stairs really easily with it too. It’s charge lasts around 20mins but that’s standard for the cordless models. If you have a henry hoover get rid and buy this instead.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersMy first impressions are good, plenty of suction for a small vacuum cleaner and easy to use, I would not recommend this for a large house, but for a flat or bungalow it would be ideal, the bags are small and not exactly cheap at 80p each, battery life is fairly short and would be better if it were longer.
    How long it will last only time will tell, all in all I’m pleased with my purchase.

    So easy to use, as an older person title effort is required and does a superb job. Folds away so small storage is not a problem. Highly recommended and that’s from the boss of the house.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersIt really is lightweight, it is also very compact with the telescopic handle down. Not as loud as most electric motors of its size, certainly no need to turn the TV up. It picks up everything except large or heavy items that no one in their right mind would use a vacuum cleaner for in the first place, let alone one designed to clear up small bits between proper cleanings.

    The dust bags are tiny and my first one was full in no time, so I pulled the contents out and refitted it. I do wish I had worn a mask. Now it is nearly full again and the battery is still on its first charge. It shows how efficient it is but the seven bags per year suggestion is a bit disingenuous.

    To address a couple of other reviewers complaints:
    Re the two year warranty, there is a Gtech web address on the front of the machine for warranty information and problem solving. Go to them. The Amazon return date is for people who have changed their minds about an unopened product. Amazon will still replace faulty goods if you persevere and find out which desk customer services are currently hiding under.

    As for the roller popping out, a simple read of the manual will tell you that the roller is designed to pop out when it’s overloaded with hair. The button will pop out and roller stops spinning as it becomes disengaged from the motor spindle. In my case the roller was overloaded so quickly that the clip holding it in was rotated and the roller jumped out of the side of the machine.
    Remove the roller from the machine by rotating the clip to “Unlocked”, clean it using the supplied hair cutter and comb and then push it back into the machine and rotate the clip to “locked”.

    It is battery powered. It uses a rechargeable lithium battery. You have to charge it when it “won’t start up”. Plug the supplied charger unit into a wall socket outlet. Plug the charger lead into the back of the battery.
    Wait until the green G on the battery stops flashing and shows solid green.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBought for my 98 yr old mum who needed a lightweight sweeper. It’s great and quite powerful for its size. However, mum does find it difficult to pull it backwards due to the suction which makes it feel heavier, plus she’s been use to a simple rotary brush sweeper. Definitely compact and great to use.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI love this vacuum cleaner. So easy to use, great suction. I don’t like vacuums that have the motor up at the handle, so this is perfect. Folds up small and charges quickly.

    I would definitely recommend this product. It is brilliant!

    I just love this small and very lightweight hoover. Very powerful for its size. Makes light work on my hard floors. Strongly recommend it.

    Lightweight, fast, manoeuvrable, long battery life and perfect for the stairs.

    While this would be no good for cleaning a whole house unless you want to keep changing the very small bags which can’t easily be emptied to reuse.
    Once said it is very light weight and excellent for stairs and similar small areas. It comes complete with a duster which clips on but does not connect to the suction so it seems more of a gimmick than useful.

    Moved in to a little apartment and it’s one of the best things I’ve bought. Lightweight, works perfect on tile, rugs, wood floor and carpet. Nice and little so tucks away nicely. Just what I needed.

    Best of all it’s light, easy to use and fits under furniture easily. Easy detachable accessories. On the whole a great little hoover that does a reasonable job. Perfect for anyone who is older.

    I bought this for my mother who could not manage an upright vacuum cleaner any longer. She was very wary about the size of this cleaner, especially the bag which seemed far too small to collect much dust, but apparently it will last a long time. Hopefully this is correct. I used it and was very happy with the suction.

    This is brilliant for whizzing round the house between big cleans. Just for daily vacuuming. I have a shoulder problem so it’s perfect, light weight and easy to use. not designed for large areas.

    It’s as light as a feather, the suction is amazing (the best I’ve ever had) I use it on carpets and the kitchen floor (using a brush is a thing of the past) AMAZING. FANTASTIC, A LITTLE GEM.

    Bought this for my caravan and I love it, nice long handle but very compact when handle is down. The head gets under furniture so easy. I’ve noticed it’s gone up 20 since I bought mine a few weeks ago.

    Insanely small. Could fold it up into a backpack! Very strong suction and clever airlock system allows for suction of large chunks on the push, and small dust on the pull. Handle detaches to make a handheld scrubber-style vacuum, easy for stairs instead of fighting a broom. Shame it’s a bagged vacuum, would like a bagless version of this one day. Perfect for my stairs and ca

    I bought this vacuum to replace a powered Gtech sweeper that gave up the ghost after 11 years. I wanted it to clean the tiled floors on the ground floor of my home.. For this job it is ace. Good suction and very manouverable into corners. The bag is VERY small but as I’m generally just sucking up crumbs and other small bits and pieces off solid floors I don’t think the bag size will worry me.. I don’t intend to use this cleaner for stairs and hairs aren’t much of an issue as there are no pets in my house.

    I moved Hylite 1 upstairs and kept Hylite 2 downstairs, the perfect combination.

    Love this hoover, it is so quick, easy and convenient to use. It can’t handle big, very quickly dirtied areas too well as it is a small bag system, but for my purposes (tiny house!) it is great. I find the removable head fabulous- been great for doing the car and sofa, and made for stairs!! Really great bit of kit! Bought one for my (elderly) parents to use as a light and easy vacuum for their stairs and hallway etc.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis vacuum cleaner is the best thing that has ever happened to me! It has brilliant suction. Easy to clean it out. So quiet! My scare-dy cat who is terrified of vacuum cleaners, just loves this one, and so do I!

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersI like this nifty little vacuum cleaner however I found it doesn’t have as much suction power as the Gtech pro. Its handy for small jobs, especially the stairs. I like that the handle pulls out and that you can use the handle as duster, with the included tool.
