Piranha Horizon 2000W Bagless

Bad – It loses suction quickly; you'll have to get another filter after 2 months which you can't buy anywhere except online; the canister won't hold much before the whole thing is suctionless.

bad experience with this one. Strong suction with new filter.

Indicator light lights up when filter needs cleaning/replacing. Loses suction quickly as dust particles will block up HEPA filter.

Filter gets clogged quickly and needs replacing after a couple of months - a cleaning brush is provided to clean the HEPA filter, but this won't improve use suction.

When you empty the canister, it will still be full of dust particles, it takes a good hour to clean the thing (longer than it takes to vacuuum your house!).

The canister gets full of little particles rendering the 'transparent' canister opaque - it might as well not be see through.

Suction is lost quickly, far before the canister reaches full capacity.

It's impossible to find any place that actually sells replacement HEPA filters for this model. At least you can buy it from the manufacturers web-site (but you'll have to pay postage).

The telescopic steel tube started to stick early on and is now seized up after 12 months.

The hose detached from the unit after about 12 months - I had to glue it back on.

The machine is big and clunky - it bashes into walls all the time and is hard to cart around.
