Very easy to manoeuvre about but the capacity is low, the trap hole could be larger as sometimes if there’s too much to collect it clogs up easy so when you turn it off, the dirt falls back out the chamber.
You cant easily take off the brush roller, you have to unsecure the thing to remove the hair, or if you’re using a knife or scissors while its in there, its not an easy job.
Battery don’t last long so only good for small to almost medium sized spaced.
Does the job tho for me.
Very powerful, excellent suction.
A bit heavy compared to others
Excellent vacuum for my needs – a quick run round the ground floor and stairs. Gives a good 30 minutes running time on full power. Suction is decent, especially on turbo boost, build quality is good , it could do with a couple of extra small tools like a rush for the stairs though you can buy them extra. Weight is good, not too heavy , and recharge time okay, I only need it to recharge overnight any way. I’ve had it for several months now and it’s wearing well.
It’s a really good hover light weight
good battery and good suction
Does my house twice on one charge
And very good for the money
It portable and powerful. Lasts a while with one charge but if on full power and turbo the battery life reduces.
Overall great produc
Should have got the next model up as battery life would have been better but does the hard floors I have well.
Suction is rubbish battery is great and its light for carrying but dont waste ur money on it as av had mine less than a year and its stoped picking up
I had this vacuum brought over to me in Tunisia. I have 13 rescue cats and a dog and the vacuums here are rubbish . You cannot buy decent powerful ones . After researching for a vacuum that was cordless yet powerful ! Wasn’t too heavy as I had to pay delivery cost from UK to Tunisia, and worked well for pet hair , this one fit the bill. I am so impressed . Its perfect and its even quiet so my animals are not scared of me hoovering ( which is often as its so satisfying with this thing ) . It was worth the courier fee and I highly recommend if you have pets and high pile carpets.
It is a little bit un comfy to hold but does the job
Excellent what Amazon said about only box broken it was true
The vax product my hoover was in excellent condition
Very well explained to us on the information in write up
it is hard onmy old wrists quite heavy to manipulate
Love that it’s cordless and you can convert it to just the motor and cleaning brush – brilliant for stairs.
Battery life is very good and I can clean the full house on one charge.
Suction even with the boost is not as powerful as I would like – bought as a quick reasonably priced replacement for broken dyson which had much better suction and pickup but was not as good for stairs.
Would recommed the blade purely for convenience on stairs
With my pets to maintain this vac is perfect l vacuumed my bottom floor inc bathroom on full power hallway stairs. All the information you need is right there on a clear lit panel. Good tools great power and value for money.
We have one up & one downstairs. Also good on the staircase
Loved my old one so keep that one upstairs. New one has even stronger suction for downstairs.
Everything is good about it,faultless,wonderful can’t say enough about it I would recommend this brilliant,powerful,lightweight good value cordless hoover to every household who wants a good bargai
Easy to use and gets into all corners. A negative might be the capacity of the rubbish drum.
Good value vacuum cleaner. Ideal for my one bedroom flat which has all hardwood and tiled surfaces. The best cleaner I’ve had for car cleaning purposes. Very good suction. Only negative comment would be the removal of the reach wand, the release wand is a bit stiff for me.
Works well on short pile carpets tiled and wood or laminate floors……poor performance on deep pile carpets and rugs
A little heavier than I thought but does a good job
This was a lesson learned for me. I read the reviews and didn’t think the negatives would be a problem for me. The special price for a well known brand was also tempting! After a couple of months use, I’m reluctantly not convinced. The weight is all at the top, which becomes an issue for me if I’m hoovering the whole house. We have wooden floors downstairs and I find the brushbar boost the best option, but it does drain the battery. We have quite thick piled carpets in the bedrooms and I find that the brush head drags and repeatedly stops the hoover from working. However, there are some positives! I like that the brush head slides nicely under furniture so that I don’t have to keep moving things. It charges up quickly, and does get to the dust and crumbs that collect between the wooden floor panels. I’ll persevere for a little longer but I suspect that a stick hoover just isn’t for me.
Bought in November 2018 and will now no longer charge. I have been in contact with Vax and as it wasn’t registered on their system they can’t help. Have also recently bought a replacement brush head as after changing the hose on the original one that had split the old brush head was running intermittently.
It had not been used heavily as with only a small amount of carpet and only two people in the house there was never much need for extensive cleaning
Need definitely to install wall hook(supplied) to hang as will not stand upright, however very functional & powerful adaptable vacuuming
Had the previous model to this one both difficult to disconnect from the main tube thought that could have been solved by now, otherwise an improvement on the old model.
The suction power is good with the booster on . Handy for everything ,house ,car and those areas you can’t reach. Battery is good for 45 mins on full power ! Overall as good as a big brand for half the price !!
Love this vacuum so light weight to carry upstairs great suction on carpets and hard floors would highly recommend i
Good lightweight vacuum. Accessories can be a bit fiddly to get on and off and shame nowhere to store on device or wall hook but I guess it is too keep weight down.
This is my 2nd Vax cordless, the previous Vax blade lasted 4 yrs. The suction on this one is so much better, I live in a small bungalow and this does the whole place with plenty of battery life to spare. I empty it and give the filter a light brush every time its used. Slightly heavier than the previous model but meets all requirements.
Now, here are some things that others looking to purchase may need to consider:
1) I am using this vacuum cleaner in a household of 2 adults – we don’t make a great deal of mess and so I only vacuum the house once a week max. I might not recommend this vacuum cleaner for a larger household, especially with younger kids who might make a lot of mess. The cylinder isn’t especially big, and so would likely fill up a lot quicker and perhaps too quickly to be worth it.
2) My house has low pile carpet, which means that the vacuum cleaner doesn’t need a great deal of suction in order to get any dirt out of it. I have a rug which is a lot thicker and I attempted to use the vacuum cleaner on that and it just didn’t work. You couldn’t move the vacuum at all, and it didn’t clean anything. So if your house does have a high pile carpet, this probably isn’t the vacuum cleaner for you.
3) As I mentioned above, the cleaner is only really used for a couple of hours a week maximum. The auto cut-out to stop overheating does happen every half an hour or so, but after leaving it a couple of minutes it’s fine again. I can imagine for a more thorough clean, this can be very frustrating and so this is a point to consider. The average run time of 45 mins works great for me, but might not be so great for other families.
4) This is a cordless vacuum, and so does need charging. This is perfect for me; I live in a rented accommodation, and so I am not able to alter the property. This means that I cannot add more plug sockets in more convenient locations, or drill holes into the wall to fit a charging station. The vacuum cleaner means that I don’t have to worry about these problems. I just need to have a single socket available to charge the vacuum and then I’m good to go. So this is a point to consider if you are in a similar situation as me.
For now, this vacuum cleaner is working great and functions as advertised. I would definitely recommend it.
The hoover it’s self is fabulous the problem I have is with the delivery driver my parcel was left outside my front door for the whole World to see there is a sign in my window to leave parcels behind the bi
After charging I tested it out and was impressed by the strength of the suction which matches my mains-powered vacuum.
My mother has since used the Vax and is highly impressed with it hence the five star rating.
A very effective tool. I keep this one upstairs where the floors are a mixture of wood and carpets. Works well on both.
I keep a heavier Vax downstairs – really great combination and neither a bank breaker.
Tried a cheaper version – should have bought these 2 Vax instead. Now well pleased.
Battery life is good. I use it in the house and my car. Very light making it easy for taking out to the car. Suction is very good.
Quite heavy – smallish collection pot
Would be good to have the charge unit in the wall bracket rather than having to plug it in once hung up
I love the design and portability of this, but am a bit disappointed with the suction/pick up. Fine dust is no problem but larger bits don’t pick up straight away, you may need to go over the same area a couple of times, especially on carpeted areas.
It’s nice and compact but very top heavy. Not suitable for the older generation. The suction isn’t too bad apart from doesn’t like picking small stones up that might be on the carpet.
Very easy to use vac. Got almost 50 off in prime day deal and is worth every penny. Lightweight, powerful and easy to manoeuvre around. Various attachments and easy to put together and empty after use. Would highly recommend.
I had the smaller model for about 4 years i was going to have to replace the head so I decided to get the blade 32 , well the difference in suction is unbelievable I’m very impressed.
Long battery life, great for stairs, a little heavy when (hand held) cleaning horizontal blinds but definitely a good all rounder cordless vacuum cleaner for the price.
Good suction power, used for our away days in the caravan, weight okay, would be nice if a little lighter. Good manoeuvrability, especially around the Van. Charge excellent compared to others I’ve had.
I love this cordless hoover
Flexible, easy to manovre
Lightweight, no more pulling the hoover along
I had a cylinder hoover before but the vax cordless hoover makes live so much easier especially if you have a sore back of or mobilty issues
Heavier than I thought it would be but so wish I had bought one years ago. I only have a small house and a cat. I would not recommend this model if house is big or you make more mess as to remain effective it needs emptying out regularly, but even that is easy.
easy to use and good value of vacuum cleaner but noise too big.
ot as powerful as my old corded (Dyson) but bought to do the daily jobs round the house. Lighter and more versatile due to the compact body size, and just powerful enough to do the carpets (perfectly capable on hard floors). Main brush attachment works well, charges quickly enough and plenty of battery to do the house before needing another charge. If you’re after a daily run-around then look no further.

Nice hoover, great on hard floors as well as carpets. Got a good boost and roll bar, just a bit heavy on moto
I am very pleased with this item, I would have given it 5 stars but I have a problem of detaching the vax to empty the contents so if my husband is not about, I have to lift the whole vax up tip it over to empty it and is heavy and maybe OK for younger people but me being a senior is difficult but have got used to it now…
Does what it says on the tin my wife loves it so lightweight and manoeuvrable
I really love this hoover. Suction is brilliant. I can do my whole house before battery runs out. Its slightly heavier than I would have thought but that’s minor. Fantastic hoover.
Great vacuum. Love it. Only downside is the handle could do with being more comfortable to hold
I have had it a few weeks now. Here is the the pros and cons.
Pros:
1. Very good suction, picks up more dust than other cordless hoovers I have had.
2. Easy to use.
3. Easy to remove filters.
4. Quick charging.
5. Easy to put parts together.
6. Very powerful motor
7. Very powerful battery.
Cons:
1. Power brush gets tangled with cat fur and human hair.
2. As no grove on the brush head. You have to remove 3 small screws to remove a side bit of plastic off the end of the brush head, to remove the roller brush. The roller brush has to be removed by sliding it out. It is very hard then to remove hair and fur. And then put everything back together again. Why no Grove is a big mistake. Hoovers half the price are easier to remove the brush and remove the hair, if they made a grove all the way along the brush hair removal would be great.
3. If all you use the main unit, pole and brush head, the hoover is heavy and when you have a crevice tool plus hoover it is still heavy.
4. Better to have spare filters as it is better to wash the dust off the original filters and use a spare filters while waiting for the other ones to dry.
5. Hoover is quite noisy when using the power brush.
6. The crevice toll could be longer.
7. Due to weight, hoovering a cars footwell is hard even when not using the poll.
8. Dust container could be bigger.
I am going to keep the hoover due to it picking up so much dust and other dirt. But will buy a cheaper hoover that is lighter and has a grove in the roller brush. The Jabibot is great for removing hair off the brushes and is lighter and less noisy. The only thing, it is not made so well and the last one, the hinge on the lid snapped off. Only plastic and not strong enough to last long.
Marvellous cordless vacuum cleaner replacing my old Dyson Cordless. Very impressed with performance and value. The only fly in the ointment is that I have been unable to register my two year guarantee with Vax as they insist on seeing actual written proof of purchase and Amazon these days do not include invoices with their parcels so I could not prove I had actually purchased it and not nicked it. I think Vax are being a bit unreasonable in this regard but I have had to forego the guarantee. The cleaner though is just what I wanted.

I used the vax for my home it was excellent and picked everything with one swipe and with one hand and with plenty of charge left for next time.
Bought to replace a Dyson and its a great vacuum, so lightweight and picks up everything – very good on carpets and hard floor. Battery life is excellent and you can see how much time you have left or left to charge.
Plus side, when you empt the dirt collection box, you have 2 filters which easy to get to and easy to clean and after a few times just wash them through and dry them and hey presto you are off again. Price wise it is about half to a 3rd of the price of a dyson – excellent. Will keep informed of the article
Best cordless vacuum I have bought even beats the Dyson, performance brilliant, a bit heavier then I expected but apart from that no faults
works really well on hard floor and carpet, wife is really happy with it.
Definitely a step up from the hoover I had previously. However I find once I’ve finished and I’m putting it back, lots of dirt falls out and I have to sweep up after.
Perfect for my two up two down. Can usually hoover the whole place twice on full
Power before it needs another charge.
Also received a faulty hoover than amazon replaced the next day with no questions. Just had to return the broken one.
Overall a good unit it will vac our house in one charge with the boost on and brush head on (3 double bed) carpets and hard floors. Easy to move around, good pickup and cleaning. Comes with a wall hook for simple storage.
This is my first cordless vacuum and I’m absolutely delighted with it. Powerful and light with a few good extra features. Small dust compartment so it fills up pretty quick but having said that, it’s easy to empty.
Works really well on sitting room carpet leaving it bit free. And a daily quick zip over the carpet keeps it looking good.
Cleaner used it today and did the whole of my small house and there was battery left by the end. Easy to empty and easy to knock dust out if filter. A bit heavy but in use it doesn’t make it difficult to use and it is very manoeverable. Am v happy with my purchase
It is slightly heavier than expected but I will have no trouble adjusting.
Wall bracket is handy so I have it near a socket to charge.
Definitely VAX is worth i
This is. Lightweight vaccine which is great as the last thing you want is to be carrying a heavy cordless around the house with you!! Easy and simple to use. The battery life is abit on the short side compared to what is states, doesn’t last as long as it states, but this is the case with many brands out there!!
The suction is good but not as powerful as I would like! I have a Dyson cordless too, so when comparing to that, the auction on this is not as good!! It does pick up a lot and it’s great. For the price you are just getting vac!! I would prefer to spend the little extra and get a powerful cordless, but if you are on a budget, then this isn’t cheap but it isn’t something that will create a huge hole in your pocket!
It’s a good vac..but if you have pets then would not suggest this!!
Good enough that we got rid of our wired vacuum cleaner that was very heavy to carry and use. This is great. Lightweight and wire free. Even better fit laminate flooring. Think poor suction reviews are because of not cleaning properly which is easy to do. Would definitely recommend.
I have a Henry hoover but it’s too heavy for me to handle as I’ve got arthritis in my wrists and spine.
This hoover charged quickly and holds it charge long enough for me to hoover the lounge, hallway and bedroom.
The suction power is excellent – the only negative thing I can find with it – is that it’s a bit noisy – apart from that it’s perfect (cannot comment on the stairs section as I live in a bungalow)
I was very impressed with this cordless vacuum cleaner. It has a bit more power than the 24V version which I reviewed previously. Like its less powerful cousin the battery levels are clearly displayed, it is light in weight and it is easy to use. It is also easy to empty and clean. It has a rotating carpet beater / brush bar which is easy to remove when you need to do so in order to get rid of the inevitable hair which accumulates around it. It also has a boost mode for high traffic areas and places where dust and fluff accumulates. As you might expect it comes with various attachments for dealing with tight spaces, furniture, curtains etc and it can be used without the lance for vacuuming stairs and the car. The main difference between this 32V version and the 24V version is the improved suction power. The 24V version is no slouch in that department but for just a few quid more this one is better. Ideal and relatively inexpensive. Recommended.
This is a decent vacuum cleaner.
Easy to assemble.
Great for the stairs.
Great for laminate floors.
Great for use in the kitchen.
More suction would get 5 stars, but very good all the same.
Since i have painful wrists most vacuums tend to hurt, As most tend to be heavy and hard to move around the house. This lightweight cordless cleaner made such an improvement to my quality of life, Allowing me to clean every carpet without straining myself.
The vacuum has an easy empty system that does not need a bag, And seems to handle cat litter and thick carpets well. It seems to do a good job in the bathroom and kitchen, Picking up all the food crumbs and fragments of dust. This is an excellent upgrade from my old vacuum cleaner.
This arrived today, so I thought I would give it a try out.
Well packaged, mainly in cardboard with some polythene bags for the components.
Mine arrived partially charged so I charged it up and we were off!
Ladies, this is a male review so please take that into account!
I used it on the carpet tiles in our kitchen area and it effortlessly picked up all the bits and cat hair. Very easy to use but seems a little strange to have the weight at the top unlike traditional mains vacuums.
Next used it on laminate flooring – super. Picked up everything without any problem.
Then the carpets. Here it struggled a bit. It certainly picked up ok but left the carpet needing a deeper clean. It may be that over time, it will improve but I fancy it’s fine for carpets but doesn’t clean to the same depth as a more powerful mains cleaner.
Run time? As advertised plus some. That may reduce a bit with use but still enough to do the ground floor of most houses with plenty left.
I also used it on the carpeted stairs. Easy! Much less of a chore than usual.
I’m well impressed. Makes cleaning as simple as it used to be with a carpet sweeper. Only difference is, this picks up the dirt! The lack of cable is a real plus.
In most houses with a mix of hard floor and carpet, this is an ideal alternative to a mains vacuum and makes the job much easier. I liken it to the difference between a battery/mains drill. I hardly ever use a mains powered drill now and when I do the drudge of getting power to where I want it, defeats the object.
4 stars only because it seems to lack a bit of suction on the deep pile carpet. Time will tell in that respect.
