Russell Hobbs® Athena2 Upright Vacuum Cleaner, 2L Dust Capacity, Powerful 400W High Efficiency Motor, Triple Dust-Lock Filtration, 3-in-1 Multi-Tool, Ideal for all Floors, 2 Year Guarantee RHUV5101

Seems to be doing a good job. Easy to set up and has a spare belt. I do find it tricky to move over certain areas of my living room carpet but its generally a pretty good vacuum.

Delivered today n had a little go, picks up great, lightweight which i like n thank you.. box was a little damaged but hoover was intact n thank you

Good value for money a bit hard to push but my carpet is quite thick surprised at the amount of dust and debris it pick d up after using my Dyson!!( Dyson was pretty old though)

Brilliant hoover absolutley excellent and sent out very quick. Suction is good and you get attachments with it power is great.

It's difficult to know how many stars to give this hoover. It didn't do anything wrong. It is only really for small places, like a one bedroom flat. I live in a very big house and we have a cleaner. Yeah, lucky me. But when I got this hoover, it was quickly clear that asking the cleaner to do the whole house with it wasn't really fair. For one thing, the power lead is really quite short. When I've used it, I've found myself standing on the lead and having to be careful not to keep running over the lead with the hoover. So I bought a much bigger hoover for the cleaner to use. I now nurse this hoover as my back up, and for when I want to clean small places quickly. Also very good for cleaning canvas prints I have on some of the walls, because it's quite a light little thing. It won't be for everybody, but in the right situation, other than the shortness of the lead and the way you almost trip over it, it's good value for money and a useful addition to the utility room.

Great product gets deep into the carpet and picks up everything. So light weight and a long cord which helps to get every room done.

Hoover just spreads dirt around. Hoovered the rug and it flicked the shake and vac from the rug all over the laminate flooring and sofas. It doesn't suck up dog hair well at all I have to use a rubber gloves over carpets to pick up the hair after hoovering. The extension lead pops off all the time and doesn't stay in place. The attachments is 1 with 1 double ended universal thing you have to switch over and is also useless, doesn't fit into small gaps and the brush attachment is softer than a baby's hair brush, wouldn't get the dust out of a speaker. The filter blocks easily and you have to take the whole easy empty part off to clear it setting off my dust allergies. I wasted money and should of just got a shops own brand instead that sounds like a jumbo jet taking off but can actually suck up a grain of rice rather than projectiling it across a room.

This vacuum replaced a 1800watt Tesco model. My wife wanted the new one to be lighter, which influenced my decision. Overall I'm very pleased with it so far. Uses 800watts, but the suction is significantly superior. It is noticably both lighter and quieter than the predecessor, and the upright handle flexes side to side as well as for & aft, making cleaning around furniture easier. Easy to empty and clean. There are two filters in the top of the cyclone tube, a hard corrugated filter which is washed clean monthly and a circular foam insert. This certainly traps fine particles and needs knocking clean at each emptying, as well as monthly wash. I hope I can buy more of these, as they will fray fairly quickly. The hose is not very long. but easy to use. A twin ended crevice / brush tool was provided, which is unremarkable. Overall it is light, powerful and easy to use, so pleased to recommend. Correction: It has been pointed out that the Athena 2 is a 400w cleaner, which from my perspective makes it's cleaning power all the more impressive. Have yet to source more circular foam filter inserts, but I remain very satisfied with this vacuum cleaner.
