Russell Hobbs Upright Vacuum Cleaner ATHENA2 2 Litre Grey & Blue with 3 in 1 Multi-Tool, Triple Dust Lock 400W High Efficiency Motor, Swivel Floorhead, 2 Year Guarantee RHUV5101

i am 73 and disabled.this machine reminds me of my mothers old hoover. it is basic with no fancy bits, a straightforward vacuum that is surprisingly powerful but is light weight and has an ease of use. i also have 2 hairy dogs and it copes admirably with all the dog fur. i cannot reccomend this machine enough. it is a pure gem!

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.

Nicely packed, great vac..consumes dust and hair well, easy to operate and easy to manage. Rotates around furniture easily. Has a light but robust feel when using it. Comes with spare belt and easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend for small to medium rugs and carpets. The extra hose is OK for steps and corners.

For the money this is great! Wasn’t expecting much, but the vacuum performs well, is light weight and manoeuvrable. Picks up everything it should. Zero complaints.

Suction not very strong, was handy to manoeuvre and light to push. Cable is very short so had to keep unplugging to reach areas of the room. Hose also to short. however after 3 months of use just stopped working

This vacum has a good suction power + the speed of delivery is brilliant. My complaint with this vacum is, it doesn't cope well with a thick pile carpet + it ends up dragging on the carpet, this the reason for just 3 stars.

Pleased with my vacume. Picks up well,light to use. Easy to empty. Only thing I've noticed is lead not very long. But for the price a good little vacume.

Excellent does the job, looking at some of the bad reviews online it's they are unrealistic about what a vacuum should pick up.
