We were disappointed with this model, finding it heavy and difficlt to manouver. The tube blocks easilly.

Simple and fabulous what a great vacuum not too noisy and not too complicated just the way I like it. yay!!

I've always had Nilfisk vacuum cleaners and always loved them. When I moved overseas a dozen years ago, I sold my beloved Nilfisk and was sorry to see it go. After a couple of years I moved back to Australia but didn't get another one because I never quite seemed to have the money for it. They've always been expensive, but they are so worth it. I've bought a lot of vacs over the years, including Dyson but this Nilfisk vacuum leaves all the other brands in the dust. And you can't go past the excellent value for money. It's lightweight and very quiet so you can chat to another person and clean at the same time and you don't end up with busted ear drums. And the suction is out of this world, just like my old Nilfisk all those years ago. I have very long hair and it gets EVERYWHERE. The exposed brush on the cleaner head traps all the loose hairs and it's easy to just pull them off and let the suction pull them into the bag. I really hate the cleaner heads that have the roller inside it. Stuff always gets stuck and in a lot of vacuum cleaners, you can't get at the roller to clean it out. No such issues with the Nilfisk, so I will be enjoying pristine floors for years to come. The cord is insanely long and it folds up for storage on top of the unit so you won't ever lose it. It even has spots for the accessories that are handy but don't get in the way. The wheels move smoothly and I never have to tug the machine to get it to move with me. It just glides along the floor effortlessly. I can't praise this machine enough. I recommend this cleaner to anyone who is looking for a decent machine in an affordable price range. Of course if you can afford, it by all means by the more expensive model. But if you're not sure about spending all that money, the VP600 STD1 is for you. Try it, you'll be glad you did.
