Lidl 2-1 Cordless Hoover

Very impressed so far.

It’s very easy to use and quite light in your hand I can hoover the whole of downstairs and it doesn’t consume a bar on the battery indicator (It has 4 lights to indicate charge).

The brush bar is powered by the battery so it spins on its own accord the head rotates left of right if you angle your wrist left or right. We have mostly laminate flooring downstairs with a bit of Lino in the kitchen Cheapo carpet on the stairs and a nice deep pile in our bedroom, sofar it has done a fairly good job picking up car hair etc.

Is it as good a a Dyson? Not sure haven’t used one but I’d go out on a limb and say that the Dyson is likely more powerful but you have to spend Dyson money to get Dyson performance. For £50 I’d happily recommend it.
 
Having used the Dyson V6 I doubt the Dyson is that much more powerful, if at all if comparing with that. Very cheap, thin plastic feeling vacuum that runs out in no time and doesn't perform very well. The fact they can make this for 1/4 of the price shows just how much profit Dyson are raking in.

Yeah Ill second that, we had an old dyson vacuum cleaner that lasted years was great, it broke and we bought a dyson animal ball thing, its bloody awful, cheap flimsy plastic, just horrible to use.

I managed to fix the old in the end with a new motor off ebay for about £13 wish I had never bought it.

I am tempted to give this one a go, just because of how terrible the dyson is despite it still works.

If this thing is anything better than "pretty rubbish" then it is at least as good as a Dyson cordless IME. Ours is fairly useless beyond very light convenience cleaning.

We've got a Vax Blade and it's utterly ****. The spinning head makes it reasonably effective on carpets, but on a hard floor the suction is so poor that it can't even pick up bits of grit and, other than briefly after I've washed out the filters, it quickly gets to a point when it can't even pick up rogue dried-up peas that the kids dropped during the previous evening's dinner.

^ Ditto with our Dyson, fairly useless. I dont even bother doing the cars with it as it cant suck "through" the carpets properly like a mains vacuum.

All we use it for (where to be fair, it is convenient) is when the kids eat on the sofas, and leave light crumbs etc around.

If I get time I need to find the hilarious power claim I saw on a dyson handheld.

IIRC it claimed it was as powerful as a mains hoover.

...and then with an asterisk mentioned it was referring to a crippled mains hoover.

And that's just to start off, the power then falls down from there.
