Combine these organising tips with a good clean of the house, and your home will be ready to sell in no time.. Rosemary King –.

While raw suction isn’t everything when it comes to a vacuum’s cleaning performance, the VC7020 won’t let you down in terms of power.. There’s also a suction adjustment dial, which is great for adjusting the vacuum when moving between different surfaces.. A downside is that the vacuum’s suction tends to reduce as the dust canister fills up.This is a common issue we’ve found with cheaper vacuums, as these models don’t have the same level of cyclonic design found on vacuums like the Dyson.

You’ll also need to properly maintain the filters, otherwise the vacuum will gradually lose suction over time.. Carpets.If you have lots of carpets in your home, then the Duronic VC7020 could be a decent vacuum to buy.It’s not great when using the standard floor tool, but provides strong carpet cleaning performance with the turbo tool – especially considering the low price..

The Duronic VC7020 is less effective at cleaning hardwood or laminate floors.

In fact, this is one of our biggest complaints about this vacuum cleaner..Whether you want to clean sofas, textiles, or hard surfaces, the Hoover can be a decent choice..

The dusting brush is a good size for cleaning blinds, for example, while being gentle enough for a computer keyboard.The crevice tool is also useful for cleaning under furniture or in tight locations, while the regular nozzle is fine for floors.. It’s a good size and weight for higher areas, although we found that it struggled to clean away sticky spider webs.

It did manage bigger debris without dropping any bits back out, however, which is quite a feat for a compact cleaner.Of course, the small nozzle does limit how large a job it can handle, so don’t expect to clean a whole floor with it.. A downside is that we found that it struggled to clean carpets.
