Pullman AS5 Evolution

Love this cleaner and would reccommend it – I've had this Pullman for over 3 years and am very happy with it after having Dysons previously, the last of which lasted for 12 years with not a lot of heavy use. My son was visiting when the Dyson blew up and told me he has had a Pullman since 1988, still going strong. They are less than half the price of a Dyson, a lot quieter and pull along… Read more

easily. I used to be too embarrassed to use the Dysan late at night as it could be heard quite loudly in the neighbourhood. It has a long cord and a long reach so that I don't have to plug it into different outlets in other rooms when I go through the house. Besides the main cleaning tool, which is a brush so it can clean both carpet and boards, it has a crevice tool, a dusting brush and an upholstery tool. They can sit on top of the machine for easy access. The cord isn't retractable, but needs to be wound around the arm and fits neatly under the handle on the top of the cleaner if you start winding the cord from the vaccum cleaner end. The bag is big and empties quite easily into the bin so I can check for any lost items as well as save on bags, though they aren't expensive. This model is made in Italy so good quality.

Love it except – The only thing i do not understand is why there is no soft head for dusting. Every other brand of vacuums have them , why not. They are a necessity. I am bewildered and dissappointed. Would love to hear that i am wrong and can find out if there is one, where to purchase it  Show details

Best vacuum – This is a great vacuum! It is not a pretty machine but it gets the job done. Simple, nothing to go wrong. It is a bagged machine so the expensive filters don't get blocked and need cleaning and replacing. The bags are big too. Cheaper than a fancy machine, but better performance  Show details

Does the job! – This vacuum does a decent job, suction is fair and the length of the cord is long which I love. It is quite heavy and bulky though but that's often the case with commercial vacuum cleaners. The vacuum bags are easy to install and are huge, so they last a long time, even in a commercial setting. My biggest issue would be the shape if it. It doesn't… Read more

glide easily around corners which is a bit frustrating but overall it's a good vacuum for the price.

excellent Vac – Purchased About 8 years ago, still going strong, worn out 2 floor brushes and had to chop about 50mm off the end of the hose twice in this time, otherwise all original still. originally bought a spare 2 pack of genuine bags, (which lasted a couple of years as they are large,) but have been unable to buy any since. Godfreys will sell you their… Read more

generic cheap junk which falls to bits long before they are even a quarter full and don't filter properly in the meantime.

Eventually found better bags else ware. Good quality and performance easy to maneuver Cant buy genuine bags.

Not as tough as claimed – This is a great vacuum. I have owned 4 and they all died the same way. DO NOT DROP IT! The grey body can not handle it and cracks around the base. Also the back wheel axles are made of plastic and are expensive to replace. I am a cleaner. Great suction, quiet. Made of plastic.

Excellent – This is a fantastic vacuum cleaner, very hard working, good suction, very quiet and reliable for our large household. It has bags but they are a good size and they are easy to empty and replace. Works well on tiles, wood and carpet. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a very reliable vacuum cleaner. Very reliable Only that the cord has to be wrapped around the vacuum. Not a problem really.

Solid performer – This vacuum is strong and reliable. It is a good work-horse for average to large households. The bag seems quite large and holds plenty of dust. Very easy to empty and clean. Only disappointment is that the cord does not retract so you have to wrap it around the unit itself. Vacuum doesn't lose suction, big bag, long cord, easy disassembly/assembly, good price for reliable unit. Cord is not retractable.
