Our first cordless Vax was starting to lose suction power, but we had been pleased with the brand so we chose this one from their range. The suction is powerful enough to ‘lift’ lino up but it easily transitions from hardwood flooring to shag pile rug. I also like the alternative ‘one button’ settings, which boost suction or activate the head brush. We live in a bungalow so can’t evaluate its performance on stairs, but I would say you won’t go far wrong buying this cleaner.

There a 3 yrs warranty with battery can I have a replacement I need it asap , the hoover wasn’t cheap , & I can’t use it ,,,,, I need an answer what is happening sent several messages not happy with the after sales

This is a great machine! It has all the best features of a cordless vacuum and has made them better! Before this Vax I used a Dyson rechargeable, but always found the latter blocked easy and when emptying it was quite fiddly.
The dust/dirt container on the Vax is larger than the Dyson and is much easier to empty because it detaches completely from the motor. It can be emptied from either end though I find it better to take the filter out as it’s quicker. There are 3 battery indicator lights which lets you know when a charge is needed. Suction does not decrease as the battery loses power. Detach the battery and it recharges in an hour though the initial charge takes longer than this.
The dust seeking light is great in darker places, it’s as effective on carpets as it is on smooth wooden and tiled floors. It fits comfortably in your hand, manoeuvrability is good and is a pleasure to use.

Very good stick vacuum but a little heavier than I was expecting for a small stick mainly due to the weight of the battery.

This is the most powerful hoover I’ve owned in 40 years. The battery does one whizz round the bungalow modt times but really you ned the second battery. Its top heavy and you have to empty it most days or the suction drops. Excellent light and boost function. I do keep catching the on/off button which is annoying but I wouldn’t be without this hoover now. Vac just tweak it !

I have owned and used a Vax corded upright vacuum for a year or two and decided to go for the convenience of cordless. I have long been impressed with the build quality and value for money of Vax cleaners and this Blade 4 is no exception. The build quality is excellent, it feels solid and robust without being heavy and cumbersome. All the attachments fit well and they’re quick and easy to change. The battery life is more than sufficient to do my small bungalow, only using about half the capacity of the battery in one pass. The functional limit comes in the form of the small dust container. The machine appears to much more efficient than even the corded Vax that it very quickly fills up and needs to be emptied. This is no great problem as the container easily clicks off and back on. Everything seems to have been well thought out and executed. If there’s a serious problem, I haven’t found it yet! I really wish I’d bought one of these cleaners ages ago, it makes vacuuming almost a pleasure!

Great value. Better than our last vacuum which was a shark.

Very powerful suction and battery last long time. Very happy with this produc

Great buy. It’s a beast of a hoover and better and strong than my upright. Great buy

The vac is versatile and powerful. The two batteries are very convenient and charge quite quickly. Kit came with large and small rotating brushes and a small nozzle so cleaning pet hair from the family car is easy.

Whilst the vac is quite light for a battery powered cleaner it is a little top heavy and needs to be in your hand or in the wall mounted holder when using the long tube (i.e. normal floor vac mode). If you prop it up against a wall for instance it can easily fall over. Having said that we love it.

Although I do have to untangle the brush bar due to long haired German Shepherd in the house, this is the best vacuum I’ve had so far. Beats Dyson & Bosche by a mile. Lightweight, easily changeable attachments, excellent suction. Would highly recommend.

Okay, this was a replacement for a product I had used for a week and a few days earlier. I had ordered a Honiture 26Kpa 147 which was a good product, I did leave a good review but sadly the battery died so I choose to add some extra and get a better product.

Why VAX ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet Dual Battery? I have no pets but have historically found that pet editions of cleaning equipment a just designed better and have better features. I read reviews and watched on YouTube etc, the Blade 4 was good but the pet edition has TWO batteries for a little more cash, this is well worth the investment.

So, I give the battery a charge and have a try (remember that I had been using the other vacuum twice a day every day) Well, it was like I hadn’t vacuumed for months! The Vax (when on full power) digs deep and really does an excellent job. I received this product yesterday and have used it a LOT! It is still pulling dust from my carpet and its amazing to see, the first few vacuums shows all the bits and bobs, dirt and general dust, then you find that the colour is changing as this is getting all the fine dust that has been in the carpet for months, years?

The Vax ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet Dual Battery is well worth the money if you want a real deep clean.

Its easy to disassemble, clean and pop back together, nice and easy.

Cons? Well, the battery life is very limited if you use the brush and high power. But, you have two batteries, so not awful, its okay. The roller stops in minutes so it must be really frustrating if you have only the one battery!

Its quite heavy but easy to use, I would highly recommend this product but be careful, you will just become addicted to seeing the change on your vacuum contents!

Stay safe my friends

Love this product, however everything can be improved upon. My wife finds it a little on the noisy side with motor engaged on a wooden floor. I would like to see the dirt collection chamber to be more firmly engaged and easier to clean. On the excellent boost mode it drains the very battery quickly. I would prefer to see “in holder” charging. Apart from those few improvements it is a truly exceptional cleaner.

Very handy for quick clean ups but it’s not going to be able to replace the main vacuum (a ‘Henry’) for bigger cleaning jobs.
On tiled floors it tends to either push larger things around or flicks them out the back if the brushes are running. Perhaps I still don’t have the right technique or maybe I’m using the wrong setting. It got quickly blocked up when cleaning fallen pine needles from the tree – no such issue with the Henry though…..

On carpets it’s fantastic.
At full power the battery drains pretty quick – maybe 10-15 mins, so better to have a second battery available. Change over is quick and easy and the recharge time seems really good.

Even acknowledging the above limitations I would still recommend as it’s far easier to clean up a small area quickly than having to get a wall powered vacuum out. With this it’s done in a couple of minutes.
If you keep on top of the little spills etc then this vacuum is ideal and well priced compared to some of the competition.

The Blade 4 is very convenient for small areas like hard floors or small rooms. There are 2 problems. 1. The dust container is very small therefore you need to empty it often. 2. The motor is quite heavy and if using the rotary tool to do the stairs it is not as convenient as I expected.
However, still a useful addition to (but not a replacement for) a mains vacuum cleaner.

We’ve been using this vacuum for over a month now, and have gotten used to it, used it enough times to feel comfortable writing a detailed review of the experience of our use and highlighting the design drawbacks we’ve encountered (along with the obvious and numerous pros)

Fantastically good at getting up dust and fine material; however it’s more compact design and narrower motorised brush head means it will struggle to draw in more robust, harder, heavier particles such as small plastic pieces. This is not down to its suction power (which is phenomenal and rivals high-end plug-in equivalents) but simply down to the fact it doesn’t have the internals nor the design to really deal with it. One might say it just doesn’t have the mustard. Tougher particles tend to just sputter around the motorised head in either hopes of being broken down due to trauma then finally pulled into the main dust chamber, or face inevitably being evicted back out like some hellish revolving door ride. The addition of “headlights” on the motorised brush head is an excellent design choice, and has helped find many a-stray particles in shadowed corners and lower lit environments. Attachments are good and snap on easily enough but a slight chore if you’re using more than 2 different heads in one session. Which I suppose fits the Bill as the on board caddy can only carry one extra utensil at a time anyway. Choose wisely.

Excellent at getting around nigh on every main corner nook and cranny you’ll encounter in your home, so good we’ve dubbed this vacuum ‘The Ninja’ – it can reach nigh everywhere and feels like no dirty spot is now safe. Unfortunately, neither is the actual vacuum itself as one giant glaring flaw is there’s no way to balance or rest the device upright without precariously leaning it against something (which isn’t recommended as the unit is not only very expensive but also very top heavy thanks to its li-ion pack) or lying it against the floor. It has a cradle which requires affixing to the wall for when it’s not in use, but otherwise it’s best to lay it on the floor during momentary breaks in between it’s usage.

Emptying the dust bin is really, really simple – and due to its small fill capacity it needs to be as multiple empties will be required (around 2-3 for us) whilst during a full clean. Dust bin unclips off satisfyingly – although re-attaching it has a slight learning curve due to its design choice and basically remembering which side and port match up and which almost identical-looking side doesn’t (then remembering to check it’s secure or else the damn thing tumbles out if not entirely pressed in). Furthermore the transparent plastic drum is quite possibly one of the flimsiest material pieces on the unit and doesn’t seem like it would take too much external force to crack. However once all this is understood it’s a doddle and easy to handle with care.

Single hand operation, easy to get to the controls with your thumb, there’s a strip layout of 3 LED lit buttons (Power, Motorised Head + Light, Boost) and 4 LED bars that indicate battery life. Weight isn’t bad and has a premium feel and fairly comfortable to use. For a vacuum it’s insanely fun to use, has a Luigi’s Mansion/ GhostBusters vibe to it when in use and has generally turned vacuuming from a chore to just fun.

The boost feature is handy but it’s an EPIC drain on the battery life – a full charge will wipe down to zero within ten/fifteen minutes if the boost is on continuously; so use sparingly and wisely if needed at all.

Battery life is extreme good if used without Boost. We have a relatively large ground floor flat and can get through the entire area with plenty of charge to spare and that can be anywhere in the range of 15-20 minutes for a quick clean, 30 plus for a deep. This is with the LED and motorised head on.

In contrast to our plugin chunkier, older Dyson a full clean could take within the region of an 1hr30 due to its tank design by contrast and its 10 meters of cable that becomes an obstacle during the process.

A lot of the time we save is due to its unrivalled portability and manoeuvrability compared to its predecessor.

The batteries are solid pieces and very well built, encased in a hard shell with their own life indicator and protections. Another satisfying moment is when you snap in a fresh battery into the vacuum, literally top load slides in like a pistol’s magazine with a gratifying click at the end. They recharge within the margin of around 3 hours from min to max. Whilst a second battery isn’t necessarily essential when you first buy the unit, it probably will be later down the line. They can bought independently for around 80.

The accessories are simple and fun to use also, especially if you disconnect the main pipe and just use it as a mini-hoover (with either the main brush head or the pet tool).

Durability holding up quite well, although there’s scuffs already on the brush head and we’ve not been too rough with it.

Finally it’s easy to disassemble the necessary parts for cleaning maintenance, has the ability to remove the brush head motor bar, and running a pair of scissors through the spiral cut groove along it will bisect any tangled hairs then you can just pull them out – very easy.

We’ve been very happy with this vacuum, it’s made hoovering a quick and efficient chore – however, if you still have an older, larger plugin vacuum we’d say don’t ditch it if you’re looking to upgrade, save it back for the heavy lifting. This vacuum acts like a quick, efficient search and destroy unit, and generally can deal with most things it finds in its path, but when it comes across something it can’t where dustpan and brush might be too time consuming or impractical, bring out the big gun to finish the job.

Definitely worth a buy if you have a busy lifestyle and household, as we do with two kids and a pair of Guinea Pigs, but be wary of its drawback of not being a complete and total powerhouse but nonetheless a highly efficient every-day household appliance which we would recommend for other families reaching similar thresholds in size and bedlam.

We have had several of these stick style cordless vacuums over the years, from different manufacturers. The VAX Bade 4 is a decent example, which Is generally well put together with decent amount of suction.
As with all these style vacuums, the collection bin is pretty small, and as this is the ‘pet edition, you will find this needs to be emptied quite regularly. If it is not, I have found the vacuum has a tendency to fill and get blocked in the ‘wand’ section, which is a pain to clear.
The dirt bin is easy enough to remove, but emptying often requires the need to poke around to loosen the collected debris – some kind of slide ejection would be brilliant.
Having two batteries ensures enough power to easily clean a small to medium size property, with no interruptions waiting for the battery to recharge – just remember to keep them in rotation so you always have a fully charged one.
Overall the Blade 4 seems comparable to other popular brands, but I feel others may just have an edge on power an features.

Great in every way!!! Best vacuum we’ve ever had by far.

The Vax Blade 4 vacuum is one of the newer cordless vacuums that combine both a cordless upright with a cordless handheld, aiming to give the best of both worlds. In the past, they have tended to be a bit of a compromise between the two and had appalling battery life. The Vax gets around many of those issues though.

In the box you get the main motor unit, into which you have the dust cylinder/bin (which oddly fits sideways on compared to the usual upright layout), a long extension tube (for use when using as an upright), a full-sized motorised and pivoting head with integral LED light, a smaller ‘pet head’ for using in handheld mode and ideal for vacuuming pet hairs off furniture or hard to vacuum areas, a small brush head, a long nozzle for hard to reach areas, two batteries with a single battery charger and some mounts for mounting the attachments onto the tube and the whole unit onto the wall.
Fitting the parts together is very simple as they all tend to just click together with little difficulty, although the actual instructions provided are not that helpful – there is just a simple quick start guide and no proper instruction manual. Changing the configuration from upright to handheld and back is also easy thanks to the quick-release buttons.

In use, you have multiple options with two power modes and the option to turn on the powered heads or leave them switched off. For carpets, you really do need the brush head to be powered for the best performance and when enabled, even on the lowest power, you get good dust pickup. Turn on the turbo mode for power and it pulls up dust that no other vacuum has found. The downside to turbo mode with powered head though is the battery life is poor and you will be lucky to get 10 minutes out of a battery, so it is lucky the vacuum comes with two batteries. My normal use of lower power with a powered head when needed allows me to get around 20 minutes from a battery charge, which is more than enough to vacuum my 4 room flat.

Once the bin is full, emptying is easy as you just release it from the main unit and hold the bin upright over a bin and release the bottom catch. The rubbish falls out easily. There is also a filter at the top of the bin and this can be pulled apart to clean the filter when necessary. In my use over the past week, I filled the bin quickly the first time I used it and had to empty it twice (just goes to show how much more dust this picks up compared to my old vacuum) but once the rooms had been cleaned once, it is now large enough to vacuum the flat in a single fill.

As a pet vacuum, I am impressed with how well the roller head copes with pet (dog) and other long hair without blocking or clogging up. Often roller bars just wrap hair around them but this one is doing an amazing job of staying free.

You get two types of mount. The first is a small mount that clips over the extension tube and holds one of the adapters (brush or tube). It is a bit odd that only one of the adapters can be mounted and the other has to find a home on its own somewhere – making it easier to lose.
The second mount is for mounting the whole unit on a wall. It comes with some screws and plugs so it is ready to mount wherever you want. You do need to use the mount too as the whole vacuum is top-heavy and will not stand up on its own.

The battery charger only charges a single battery at a time but it will cut out when the battery is full. It would have been nice if the charger had two slots in it to charge both batteries at once.

I have noticed a couple of issues in my time with the vacuum.
The first is battery life. It is advertised as having 90 minutes with the two batteries, but use anything but lowest power with nothing switched on and the duration drops. I reckon about half of that is a reasonable average for my normal use.
The second is fitting the bin. It goes in but it is possible to not push it in well enough and you get a surprise when vacuuming as the bin falls out and bounces down the room.

Summary

I have used many different vacuum cleaners over the years, including many of the ‘big’ brands and currently, I have a cordless upright and a cordless handheld from another well-advertised brand. This one knocks both away with both the suction power and its versatility as it can be used both as an upright and as a handheld. It has now replaced both of my existing vacuums as it is so versatile. The only thing I am looking at getting for it is some extra adapters as Vax list some longer ones on their website which make the vacuum better for cleaning cars.

I’ve been using for a few days already and I’m very happy that it is easy to ensamble It and use quick, cordless and with a great battery.
My house is huge and I’ve got carpet on the floor so it accumulates a lot of hair from me, my partner, 2 cats and a cockatiel. Now in 20 min I’ve got a clean floor when previously I used to spend 40 min to vacuum the floor with my other vacuum cleaner.
This vacuum cleaner include a few accessories as you can see on the photos and fits everywhere.
With a full charged battery I can vacuum twice the whole house.
Two different levels for suction more than enough to clear the floor. Battery indicators on the top of the main body and a mode to rotate the roller brush and clean it.
There are 3 things I don’t like, the first one is the price than could be a bit lower, second one is that everything is plastic (as everything in the market) and third one is that long hair stays around the roller brush and you need to remove it manually every now and then.

Other than that I recommend this product 100%
