Brilliant hoover !
This is the best hoover I have ever had. Suction is amazing !
Easy to use no lack of suction , very long wire, dyson, shark hoovers very overrate
Best vacuum for the money
We love this vacuum and can’t believe it was so cheap. It works very well and is beautifully engineered.
Best vacuum cleaner I have purchased
Brilliant suction. The cord length is great , no need to use an extension lead. Brilliant value for money.
Does what it says on the tin!!!
So glad I purchased this. Amazing!! My carpets look like new! The suction power is unbelievable!! The extension hose means I don’t need to be carrying up and down stairs when cleaning, the reach is more than adequate. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Great suctio
A great vacuum cleaner, has such good suction power. Two things I don’t like 1 is the onboard tool storage as it is too near the cord storage, 2 the cord storage is totally inadequate as there is not enough room for the cable. Still a very good vacuum especially for the price.
Works well
Good suction, easy to use. The length of the cord means it reaches everywhere on the same floor without having to change sockets. Cleans very well.
Bargain for the price
This is my second vacuum cleaner from vax , the suction power is powerful, is light weight and not very noisy to compare to different brands, as a hairy cat owner I can highly recommended.
Super efficient highly recommended.
Cant fault it, better than expected, spare filters would be a good include.
Great value
We bought this for my wife’s Grandma and she loves it. Considering the price it can easily match it’s performance against the top leading brands, which could be priced up to 6 times more!!!
Great suctio
With a moulting GSD I needed good suction which is great on this ,also it is nice and light and easy to move. Downside is I have to empty after every use as doesn’t hold a lot and also all the hair gets stuck so usually have to stick something in ther to get it out. Handle isn’t very long and where I hold it on the end is ridged and irrates/ rough on my hand. Just hope the suction lasts.
Vax
Really impressed with this vaccine cleaner. My landing carpet had gone very flat. After using this it’s brought the pile and now you can see your footprints lol
Brillia
Just used my new vacuum. This is my 3rd in over 22 years but oh my how much technology has come on. Its so much lighter and responsive and much easier to use.
Brilliant but a fight with the cord length
Very pleased with it but the cord is very long and gets tangled round your legs.
Weight and suctio
Very pleased am disabled so weight is very important. Excellent value for money.
Love this hoover, second one I've had
This is a great hoover for hardfloors and carpets. It’s the second 1 I’ve had. I tried another in-between but that was rubbish on hard floors, just blew it everywhere. This one is good for both. I’d recommend i
light to handle
ordered one day and got vacuum next day, its a great wee vacuum, good suction, easy to move ,setting for carpet pile and for wooden floors, plus long flex wire for plug in, yes im very happy with my product, and the price was good x
The suck is strong with this one !
great if you own pets and a litter try clean and tidy in seconds !
Great choice
I spent a few weeks reading reviews and scrolling through different options before I made my choice and I’m pleased with the result.
Excellent value for money, easy to assemble and use and the suction is amazing, I had vacuumed the day before delivery with my Henry and was amazed at how quickly the waste holder filled up – I had thought the suction on my Henry was great but obviously not.
Start buy
After looking at different vacuum cleaners opted for Vax Air Stretch and what pleasant surprise as it delivered over expectations.
Ease off use over floors or carpets with slide and suction power ! Brilliant !!!
Try and you won’t be disappointed
Wow
Just wow. I’ve never known suction power like it. Beats a dyson hands down. Feels heavy because it nearly takes your carpet up, but it leaves your carpet looking almost new again. I couldn’t believe the amount of dirt it brought up! The chord is long….very long, it went all around my ground floor without changing sockets. Perfect. People are complaining about it being fiddly, changing to the stretch and tools, but as I see it, at last, I’ve found what I’d call, a good old fashioned hoover, that does its job…hoovers up dirt! End of. For the price of a good named hoover, it’s an excellent bargain. Well done vax!
Hoove
Excellent choice, well worth the money and does the job
Powerful, lightweight and easy to use
Very impressed has good adjustable suction from thick carpet to wooden floors. The cable is 17 metres long which I found handy as I didn’t keep having to change sockets. I found it easy to empty. I haven’t used the extension hose or accessories yet but I imagine they would benefit from the same suction power. This is probably the best corded vacuum I’ve ever purchased, I’ve purchased expensive cordless ones in the past and the rechargeable batteries lose their charging capacity eventually giving you 5 minutes of use.

Vax Air Stretch Upright Vacuum Cleaner U85-AS-Be
I picked up the VAX U85-AS-Be for my nan, as she was finding the canister type vacuum she was using too heavy too and arkward to carry up and down the stairs.
I picked this model as it seemed to be one of the lightest weight ones that i could find (she could have had a much lighter one if she went for cordless, but didn’t want one).
The cleaner has very good suction power – far more than the old VAX I used to have and works well, although i do find it quite fussy to use the attachments. If you want to use the want, you first have to remove the pipe that clips to the brush head, attach the extension hose and then the wand.
Having said that, the hose is a decent length, as is the mains cable which is long enough to plug in at the bottom of the stairs and vacuum all the way to the top.
My nans house is fully carpeted and she has a cat. The U85-AS-Be has no problem picking them up. It does have a hard floor setting, but this hasn’t been tested.
All in all, i think this is a pretty good product and for the price it offers reasonable value for money and my nan has no problem with the weight of it, which was the main thing. Having said that, i’m not sure i personally would be able to live with the fussiness of the attachments, especially since getting a Shark model.
