It also come with a rubberised pet hair nozzle.... obviously there is no comparison between this and the motorised head you can get on some of the Dyson hand vacs - however it does still does a good job and getting cat hair off things |

There is a filter cleaning wheel on the side of the machine allowing you to refresh the filter between uses without having to empty the machine. The filter is also washable should it eventually need a more thorough clean |

This is the 'main' debris nozzle. It also has a flip down dusting brush on it. The machine also came with a dedicated crevice nozzle along with the pet hair tool |

Everything stores nicely on the charging base. The initial charge takes 4 hours... |

The blue LED light flashes to indicate charging and turns solid blue when charging is complete. Being a lithium battery the machine can be left on charge constantly without causing any damage to the battery |

All in all for £50 I'm over the chuffing moon.... But even at £100 I think it would be a serious contender against a basic model Dyson handheld. Hope I haven't bored you all too much! LOL |

It's unfair to use the Electrolux WorkZone as a contender against the B&D or Dyson as it is a mains operated machine |

I wonder if they have improved quality with the later versions as the filter and shroud on mine are fitted quite tightly? Either way with the 2 year warranty I won't loose any sleep! How long have you had yours? I agree that the ability to go corded when needed would be a good idea! |
