QX8-1-45IB QX8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Detachable Handheld Unit

I live in a small, dusty city flat and have found this has changed my cleaning habits. Instead of waiting for the 'big clean' to haul out the old vacuum, I can now detach the hand held section of this model to have a very quick run round to keep on top of things. The small brush and nozzle attachment save a lot of moving of furniture and books when time is short. I would have appreciated a couple more accessories (for example a longer nozzle) to give that little bit more adaptability but it is mostly there.

When it comes to that 'big clean', I have found the maneuvarability to be excellent. The medium sized (25cm) fixed head comes close to skirting boards and will swivel around awkward places, such as in the bathroom, with virtually no effort. I like how it clicks to attention for storage without a fight and that it takes up little floorspace for storage.

The lower power setting has been more than sufficient for most of my needs whether rugs, laminate or bathroom flooring.

Great suction on both short and thick pile carpet, However the Hoover head itself would benefit from being able to be locked into position when covering a large surface. The Hoover head swivels excessively when hoovering a large surface. Small hoover section is great for smaller surfaces such as stairs and landing et cetera
This hoover however could be cumbersome for a person of smaller statue or a less well built individual. Could be slightly lighter perhaps. Very easy to remove cleaning compartment, yet instructions for nozzle removing in order to clean are somewhat confusing.
Perhaps a video on how to remove and clean the attachments might help rather than the confusing diagrams that were provided with the product.
Yet a good little cleaner overall.

Great for small places for a quick hoovering. I use in a small leaving room in a split level house, saves me a lot of time going up & down. Twist around to easily reach corners.

Great product, really easy to use, glides round easily and is great on hard and carpeted floors alike. Added bonus is the mini hand held tool which is great for the stairs.
