Morphy Richards IQ Allergy Bagless Cyclonic 2000W Cylinder

This is the WORST hoover I've had the pleasure to own. Only bought it because it was half off!

I live in an all adult household with two cats so no excessive dirt/hairs anywhere, hoover twice a week.

It sucks fine for the first five minutes but the filters clog up and the suction goes. You have to empty the dust pan and clean the filters after each time you've used it or even in the middle of hoovering if you've got a larger area to do!

The foam filter gets so dirty you have to wash it in water after each time. The filters stink as well when running the hoover. Absolutely useless.

The design is OK and it's easy to empty. It's heavy though and there is no shoulder strap, just a carry handle.

Very disappointed.

For a machine that is billed so highly as the Morphy Richards IQ I was utterly disappointed by the performance of the Murphy Richards allergy Free.

When I called the Murphy Richards helpline one of their agents did a good job of insulting me and letting me know how its my fault I did not know how to clean the filter!

As you can see from this website I am not the only one with this problem!

I bought this Morphy Richards IQ Allergy Bagless Cyclonic cleaner in January, thinking it was time I bought a bagless cleaner that was good for pet hairs as I have an indoor black cat and he can get a bit hairy at times! It is a really bad vacuum it does not pick up any hair I have to go brush hair up with a brush and then it won't even pick up! It has cut out before, and spits what it sucks up out the tool section! It has broke the belt twice since i bought it in January!

Not worth the money has let me down by just cutting out when I hoover right through the house when it cools down then will re start so not very helpful. Filters clog up very quickly and I have no pets, it hates picking up human hair and a rubber glove does it quicker than the hoover very heavy cleaner to cart around.

Absolute rubbish! I bought one of these because it was supposed to be good for pet hair, never lost suction and was almost silent. I now have to clean my living room rug (the only piece of carpet my dog has access to) with an upholstery brush. It takes forever to clean the rest of the house as it looses suction within about 5 mins, and the noise is deafening. Not recommended!

I have never seen such a bad vacuum cleaner, and it's not of the cheapest either! The head broke after the first use, and the wire system broke after using it 3 times. The bagless system is very dirty and very unpractical: not recommended to people with allergies! Although the Morphy Richards IQ Allergy Bagless Cyclonic 2000W Cylinder vacuum cleaner makes a lot of noise, it doesn't suck anything in. It is totally useless and very heavy to carry.

I have just bought this vacuum cleaner, but I will change it immediately.

As a design the Morphy Richards IQ is none threatening.

As a vacuum clearner it was useless.

A vacuum should suck and this did but only in a modern slang sense. Totally hopeless. Although only used for light cleaning ours has burnt out the motor. We could have a free replacement but we're not going to.

I was initially thrilled with the Morphy Richards IQ Allergy Bag-less Cyclonic 2000W Cylinder vacuum cleaner. I thought the suction was excellent, and the mechanism for emptying it was easy to use. However, the head broke after using it a couple of times.

I bought the Morphy Richards IQ Allergy Bagless Cyclonic 2000W Cylinder at the Ideal Home Exhibition at the end of last month (March), particularly because it promised to help with allergys. We have two cats and a house full of builders, so this promised to be the answer to our prayers in terms of cat hair and brick dust.

However, the biggest nightmare is that it has ABSOLUTELY NO suction power, despite the fact that it is on the "maximum" setting on the slider (what is the point of this feature? When do you ever want to hoover with minimum suction?!) I have only used it three times and it has been hopeless from day one. It barely picks up crumbs from the floor, leave alone the cat hair. I have to stop every 20 seconds to remove what few hairs get caught on the bristles (which by the way have a tendency to pop back into the hoover head when hoovering). And what is the point of the two tiny red strips on the bottom of the head that are supposed to trap hair? They are so small, they are less than hopeless and only two weeks after buying the hoover, one of them has started to deteriorate already!!

Furthermore, the design of the hoover is ridiculous. For a start it is far too heavy to manouevre easily when hoovering; I have to stop frequently during the middle of hoovering, to run back to the cylinder and pull it along behind me. It is an absolute nightmare to negotiate stairs because it is so wide and heavy it will not sit on the step. Then the hoover constantly switches itself off because the hoover hose hits against the off/on button when I am using it.
