Once done you can use the soft dusting brush and the dry filter to get all dust out of air vents, dashboard crevices, and other pockets and corners. The second is that, while it offers powerful suction, it’s not the most luxurious vacuum cleaner in terms of ease of use. The relatively mobile cleaning head of a cylinder model is far easier to use on curtains, furniture and stairs. That process of converting George between wet and dry modes isn’t particularly difficult but it’s an undeniable faff. He comes supplied with a comprehensive instruction manual explaining the various operations that he can carry out.

They rely solely on powerful suction, without the carpet agitating roller you usually find on most modern models. One of the switches activates the vacuum, which stays on all the time, while the other powers the clean water pump, which has a secondary control on the hose so it’s only spraying water when you need it. With a Turboflo vacuum turbine and Powerflo pump system, this is a powerful cleaner that can deal with even the most stubborn dirt and dust. When it comes to carpet cleaning you will very quickly see the superb results achieved by the simultaneous injection for cleaning solution into the carpet, combined with high vacuum extraction.

That’s not to say that George operates without any agitation, but the amount you put in is really down to how much manual pressure you can apply to the cleaner. George comes with 480ml of Nuchem 4 (12 servings), a detergent you add to the clean water bucket, and between it and the suction, it worked wonders. When it comes to dry vacuuming you have big filters, you can use disposable paper bags, and you have a superb combination floor nozzle. There are two hoses: one standard hose for dry vacuuming, and a second with a supplementary water pipe that runs along the outside and feeds a clean water and detergent mix into the spray attachments.

Cylinders are therefore suited to fiddly hoovering jobs while powerful uprights make good work of large areas of carpet. For smaller surfaces, such as the stairs, sofa and in the car, James' Upholstery Tool couldn't be better. When it comes to dry vacuuming you have big filters, use of Hepaflo dust bags, and you have a superb combination floor nozzle.

The reason most people purchase a George vacuum is for his carpet cleaning abilities, but George really is capable of a lot more than just carpet cleaning. The only vacuums we’ve recently tested with more powerful suction are Dysons and Sharks, but the advantage George has over the suction in these cordless sticks is that it can keep this level of suction going all day, whereas a cordless on max power will use up its battery charge in about 10 minutes. This mode comes with a floor head, crevice tool, dusting brush and an upholstery tool with a removable brush.
