i have one already at home - iv got the samsung version though.

not taken it camping though because you need to have the floor clear of obstacles for it to work properly and its got to be reasonably flat.

packing up the last few camping trips i thought it would be handy to have a little hoover to clean up the particles of gravel / sand / grass bits etc that gather inside the tent after being camping.
the dust pan and brush is okies but its not brilliant at getting all the bits of sand like grainy particles out the tent and i thought they wouldnt do the canvas any good if the rub into it when the tent is folded up and they will do.
so thought id get a little hoover! looked on gumtree and a lady was selling a ewbank chilli with attachments for 20.00 and it was only a few months old.
anyways reason for sale was her husband now gets the car valeted at work so its no longer needed, so thought that ll do and bought it.

got it home, plugged it in ... well... a blue tit could suck harder!!!

it made a lot of noise and lots of very hot air came out but it cudnt pick up a peanut.

so i wondered why and looked more closely. the rotating brush attachment - the brush didnt even go round it was so jammed with hair!!! yuk.

then i looked at the filter and removed it and a heap of black fine powder like baking flour fell onto my lap - this thing was totally chocked up!

anyways it came with a brand new filter so fitted that, then set about with rubber gloves on and a screwdriver and removed all the hair wound tightly around the brush and it now spins freely.

put it all back together and hey presto it puts my dyson to shame! iv never seen anything so small suck so hard!

i find it incredible that this woman let the machine get into such a useless state - doesnt she know how to look after a hoover or does she just buy a new one every time she chokes them up?

now to find a nice small carry bag to put the machine and the tools in!

the machine :-




Hi, also good for those spacesaver bags to suck all the air out when packing up.Made mistake once, used spacesaver bags, great,but what do you do when returning?...!!
