This is a good product as long as you don't try and use it for more than it was designed to do. It's not the sort of vacuum cleaner which will blitz your whole house, but it's great for small, quick jobs like cleaning the stairs, hoovering the car or a quick run over a single room.Its limitations are twofold. First, it's rechargeable, which although convenient for use where there isn't a nearby power point (like your car, maybe) does mean you only have a limited time before the charge runs out. I found that to be about 20-30 minutes depending on how you use it, and it takes 2-3 hours to charge up to full power again (an indicator hows you how much power you have). Secondly,it's not as high-powered as a mains cleaner, so if you're trying to do a deep clean or there's a lot of mess on your carpet, it's not really up to the job. Because it's small and lightweight the dust cup is also small and needs to be emptied after every clean (the filters less often) but on the plus side that's simple - just press a button and it empties directly into the bin.However, if you don;t overtax its capabilities it does do a very good job. It comes with a choice of four attachments: a manouvreable brush for carpets, a lint roller cleaner for hard floors, an upholstery brush and a crevice cleaner. The carpet brush has a light on the front which lets you spot looming fluff and bits, and it's power-assisted which means it's really easy to push even on deep-pile carpet (drains the battery quickest though). The lint roller is something I haven't seen before - great for picking up dust and bits on wooden floors or vinyl/lino. The other two small tools are the same as you;d get on any vacuum cleaner and work well. One major boon is that you can attach any of the tools direct to the cleaner without the long wand section, so that using it hand-held facilitate the cleaning of bits from down the sofa or cobwebs from the ceiling, as well as making it much easier to clean wooden stairs. The whole cleaner is very easy to operate and easy to manoevre into tricky spaces with its swivel heads.The whole thing is easy to assemble (I'm a klutz with these things, and I managed it in minutes) and there's a wall holder and screws provided so that the cleaner can have a permanent home on the wall beside a power point so it's always charged when you need it. I have yet to get my husband or son to do that for me, so can't say how easy it will be, but it looks fairly straightforward! Long-term I plan to keep it upstairs so I don't have to lug the big hoover up when I want to give a bedroom or the bathroom a once-over - and I expect my husband will be borrowing it for his car.Only one small criticism: the cleaner advertises itself as pet-friendly, but I found that although the lint roller picksup "tumbleweed" made from pet hair (we have a large shaggy dog) well, it quickly gets tangled around the brush on the carpet cleaner and there seems not to be a simple way of detaching the brush head to clean it, so I have to pull the hair out with my fingers which can be time-consuming.

Initial impressions of the Swan Eureka Power Plush Turbo 3 in 1 vacuum cleaner are good.The product is well packaged and easy to put together. The plastics do not feel cheap and appear to be robust enough to stand up to a lot of use.In comparison to another cordless vacuum cleaner we have it has a larger capacity dust box and has a larger overall power grip.In operation it works as well as any cordless vacuum I have used and the battery life is generally ok for around 15 minutes. I would take the claimed 22 mins of operational use with a small pinch of salt. That said, I don’t think I have used a cordless that has ever given the claimed run time.As an upright vacuum,

My last experience of a battery-powered vacuum cleaner was a hand-held DustBuster in the 1980s, which was not particularly impressive in sucking power or battery life. Technology has certainly moved on! This Eureka Swan device cleans better than my trusty Henry, especially on carpet, where its powered beater really comes into its own.The freedom from power leads also ends that annoying experience of running out of cable just a metre or so shy of the far corner of the bedroom! It has also made cleaning the car (parked on-street) much easier.The device is much lighter weight overall than a traditional upright hoover, although it initially feels a little oddly balanced as most of the weight is in your hand,

This is the first battery vacuum with the motor in the handle that I've used, and I was pleased with how light and manoeuvrable it is. It is also more powerful than I had expected, leaving the carpet looking 'just vacuumed'. Unfortunately the right hand headlight only lights up intermittently, which is slightly disconcerting, although I would question whether a vacuum actually needs headlights at all. My main reservation is the tiny dust cup. I just ran the vacuum around my 3 bedrooms and when I went to empty the cup it was packed so full that I had to pull the fluff out with my fingers. It may be that my bedrooms are exceptionally dirty as it's possible my old vacuum hadn't been doing a good job for a while,

I initially got drawn into the Dyson V8 Absolute hype as I wanted the best portable vacuum, and while I can't knock the V8's suction power, the battery life isn't great.This Eureka SWAN Hyper Clean is substantially cheaper than the V8, but looks almost identical and comes with similar accessories. The build quality of this Swan is slightly better than the Dyson with less creaking and more robust fittings.In terms of suction power, both vacuums have STANDARD and TURBO modes. The Dyson V8 does have better suction than the Swan Hyper Clean in both of these modes, but I'm not sure it's enough to justify the extra cost of the Dyson V8.Both vacuums have a similar operation time of between 10 and 30 mins depending on mode and attachment.

We love it! Not the most powerful hand held, nor the longest running, but a good balance between the 'proper' vacuum you have that's a pain to get out for smaller job and one of the smaller hand held vacuums that just work on toaster crumbs.Come in a multitude of bits, which all clip together easily and logically, including a holder that attaches to the wall to hold everything. Thankfully this item isn't essential, (others makes are for charging) so as we don't have much free wall space and although the vacuum isn't ugly, we opted not to use it as a decorative object. Instead, it charges up quietly in the corner.Charging takes around three hours for a flat battery.

I've been using this vacuum for a fortnight now, and am loving it compared with lugging my other vacuum around the house. The suction is great, the battery power is great and it charges quickly, it's not too heavy, it is certainly a doddle to maneuver, stairs are so easy now, and it cleans well up to the edges. Easy to swap the head for the crevice tool etc. As I don't own a drill to fix the hanging plate to the wall, I'm just laying it on the floor near a socket to charge.There are a couple of niggles though - Firstly - the on-off switch position is on the actual handle, making it very easy to accidentally switch the cleaner off as you move. Anyone with large hands, mine are small,

I'll put a little more detail below, but in summary, it's light and easy to use, great on stairs, only lasts 20 minutes, 2+ hours to recharge, no on-board storage for accessories, carpet head clogs quickly with pet hair, suction is reasonable, could replace a standard vacuum cleaner.Firstly, it's easy to assemble. Ideally one needs to screw the bracket to a wall so the cleaner hangs up without touching the floor. The charging cable isn't very long, so I needed to use an extension cable; it doesn't charge on docking instead requires the charger's plug to be pushed in to the cleaners socket. LEDs illuminate as it charges and then they go off. I live in a three-floor,

Update July 2019...CLEAN ALL FILTERS REGULARLY. I failed to clean the internal one and as a result the unit cut out after 4 months, and would only operate for 6 seconds. See last 2 pictures.My battery now lasts for about 15 minutes which is just enough to do my 3 bedroom house.ORIGINAL REVIEWThe only thing I don't like about this unit is that the vacuum cleaner should be hung up. This is not self-standing. The handle has to be propped up against something.If you do use the wall mount bracket make sure you have a mains socket within the range of the charging cable. That's approximately 2m.Charging from new takes about 3 hours. Assembly took about 5 minutes.BATTERY LIFE...

This is my first try of a cordless stick vacuum and I love it! Getting rid of the cord is a revelation and I love the way I can clean the whole flat in one quick session. There is a separate head for tiled/wooden floors but the brush worked fine. I especially love that this turns into a hand-held, ideal for stairs, and that you can attach any of the brushes or tools in hand mode. Mine came with two heads (brush, hard floors) and the usual crevice and dusting/upholstery attachments. Oh, and I love the lights on the front of the brush head so you can see what you're hoovering up under the bed, sofa!The charger is tiny, so is easy to store and just plugs into the body like a phone charger - it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge and that gives about 20-25 mins of power,

This is a great and very lightweight 3-in-1 vacuum cleaner and the bonus is obviously that it is cordless. We have had a cordless vacuum before but this is incredibly light in comparison.The vacuum has both a hard and carpeted floor setting on it. The head is electronically rotated as opposed to suction and it collects even very small items easily. I love that you can change between the longer length for general vacuuming to the shorter lengths for the stairs and upholstery.The one downside is that it doesn't stand up by itself and you therefore need somewhere to attach the wall mount. This also makes pausing during vacuuming difficult as it means you need to either lie it down on the floor

Very easy to assemble and charge. The battery was partially charged so a couple of hours took it to maximum. The battery life seems short giving about 20 to 30 minutes use before recharging. Probably enough for most sessions, but a little longer would be better.Manoverability is brilliant and as the balance is good it is fairly effortless to use. The option of an upright stand would be good as not all home have a suitable place for a wall attachment and the charging cable is not long.I found the tube long enough to reach cornicing and the attachable brush head is excellent .These are some of the many good points, but I have one negative point: I don't think that it is powerful enough for deep cleaning.

This is the first proper cordless vacuum cleaner I have had. I have a handheld model which I use mainly for cleaning the inside of the car.This model comes with a charger, a wall mount, two fine detail heads and a wand and hyper clean floor head. Charging took a few hours but then I tried it out.Very easy to put together though the build quality did not seem very "sturdy". Just an impression. The cleaner is marvellously lightweight and manoeuvrable. It has a max power setting and a carpet and hard floor control. The front even has lights to illuminate the area you are cleaning. As a dog owner I found it very effective, quickly picking up the hairs kindly left behind by my dog.

Assembled easily - only had to consult the short mostly pictures manual once to check exactly how the battery pack attaches. (turns out I was in the right place just needed to push harder!)Fully charged in about 2 hours. Very light and manoeuvreable. Comes with a good range of tools.In use? Great on my wood and laminate floors. Glides well and picks up debris easily.Not quite so good on wool carpets but fine for a quick clean.Very easy to use: very light in weight and the lack of a cord makes cleaning a breeze - especially on the stairs!The light on the head isn't really strong enough to show much.The dirt holder isn't the biggest but it is easy to empty.Probably not powerful enough as a "main"

We have a cordless vacuum already but it cannot be used as a handheld for small or tricky spaces such as furniture or car interiors. This pack allows both ‘upright’ usage with a choice of a rotating brush head or a combined vacuum and polishing head for hard floors. Very flexible head rotation and built in lights to see under chairs etc. We have a Labrador that sheds small black hairs and this vacuum sucks them up with ease.The main motor can also be attached to the upholstery brush, or the crevice tool, or direct to both brush heads. Great for stairs and difficult to reach spaces for example between or under kitchen equipment.There is little noise in use as compared with other vacuums and the suction power is not as strong as my mains-powered Miele for example.
