So good, I bought another...
After 5yrs, and not keeping an eye on the ‘bag’ taking out my real Christmas tree after the recent festivities, my old VAX kinda went poof! It was too full and the motor overheated. All my own fault!
Sad to see the old one go, but there really was no question about the brand or model.
The suction on this unit amazes me, and I love how it reestablishes squashed pile in heavy traffic areas. The suction boost slider is easy to move back and forth with my big toe, too. It easily handles the change from my living room carpet to my kitchen tiles.
Not that I’ve ventured out into the cold yet this year, with a 13m power cord I can easily flit from upstairs to downstairs and then out onto the driveway to do my car! The hose and accompanying tools take this fully to the quoted 17m which is no mean feat.
The cynic in me thinks the cord length is one last ditch attempt of the standard upright to prove its worth in a new market of battery powered handhelds, but I genuinely love this little vacuum.
It’s fairly quiet for a cleaner. Lightweight compared to many too. I have no trouble taking it up and down the stairs. With a clear dust storage ‘bag’ I always get a sense of satisfaction seeing what it is picking up.
Highly recommended…

Phenomenal
I’ve had this for 18 months and it’s always done a great job. It’s also really easy to take apart and clean the filters etc, which is underrated in modern appliances. Covid broke my lungs and now they’re super sensitive to dust, so this gets daily use and does brilliantly, even with pets. It’s comparable to a Dyson at 3x the price, which I think makes it great value! Only downside is unclipping the hoses etc, but I can live with that.
Semi-decent vacuum with a couple of annoying flaws
Great vacuum. Suction is good, albeit far better whilst dragging the cleaner back. Prongs which hold the cable are too short, meaning that if you only need a little flex, you get much more as it falls off whilst vacuuming. Very annoying. Also, the accessories, other than the extension hose, don’t attach to the cleaner without also falling off. Minor, but annoying.
Love it!
This was bought as a replacement for my very long serving, trusty, previous Vax. Killed off by my husband. It is just as good as the last one and I expect it will last years and years too. I recommend Vax to anyone who is thinking about buying a new vacuum cleaner and I will never buy anything else. I did try a Dyson but it kept losing suction, despite the marketing, and did not last long at all. Buy one, you won’t regret it.

Great value vacuum
This is a lightweight, manoeuvrable hoover, bought for my elderly father & he gets on really well with it. Suction is better than expected so all in all I’m very pleased.
Well worth the price
I hoover everyday as I have 2 very fluffy cats! Been needing a new hoover for awhile. The first time I used this I could not believe the amount of cat hair it took off my carpets, it’s amazing, my last hoover must have been missing it all for months! The cord it really long so can hoover up the staires without having to unplug. It also has a spin function for thick carpets that you turn off on wooden floors etc I couldn’t recommend it enough from the price. Definitely my favourite buy in a long time 🙂

Hard work
Picks up very well no complaints there,
I find it hard to push, its not that light weight as I was to believe I’m in my late 60s so maybe it’s me not got much strength
Great hoover!
Hoover is all round great. The cord length is really helpful.
It’s more fiddly than a dyson to go to the wand use but once you know how it takes two seconds.
I have always had dysons and brought this one for work use. Its a breeze to handle, so light compared to the dyson. Carrying it up and down stairs is effortless.
Highly recommend this hoover. When my home Dyson eventually dies I will def purchase one of these as a replacement!

I’m a professional janitor/ cleaner (12+ years) so I’m minda picky about vacuums. The flat that I just moved into came with a happy face Henry vacuum that I just didn’t feel like was doing a great job, but still religiously vacuumed with it every week (no pets or kids, low trafic).
Still not happy a month later (it just wasn’t right, and still seemed so dusty) so I decided to break down and get a little vacuum to see if it made a diffrence – wow! The carpet looks great! I can’t believe how much dust, sand?, fluff and junk this pulled out of the carpet – and I didn’t even do a detailed job (no crevice/ dusting tool or under the furniture), just main areas.
I’m impressed. The hose attachement is a little floppy in how it attaches to the unit, but dang!
Also, it’s light weight enough that it’s easy to maneuver, lift, and carry, but not so light weight that it doesn’t work, feels cheap, or skips while I’m trying to vacuum. Just wow!

Well made
I needed a hoover to get deep into the carpet. . . . This has a stronger brush then the Dyson animal, longer cord and brilliant suction. Only one issue, you will need to clean the brush at least once a month.
FACTS ABOUT VAX
I stick with Vax vacuum cleaners, even though none have ever lasted more than a couple of years. Great suction, easy to empty, long cord, stretch hose, lightweight and the nozzle means you can get into corners, under tables, etc. On the negative side, the lack of automatic cord rewind is irritating as is the difficulty accessing the brush bar. But the fact that I always buy a Vax says something.

Fantastic suction and long reach and lightweight ! Perfect!
The suction on this vacuum is amazing, really lifts the pile on your carpets. It’s so good I I have it set on long pile even for my short pile. If you have those big fluffy rugs I’d maybe avoid it on those it’s so powerful.
The cord is so long almost reached my whole house from one plug socket. I live in a 3 bed semi.
As mentioned by other reviews, it’s not the best design to switch from upright to hose as it’s a bit fiddly but I just leave all the hose parts till last.
I love this vacuum. I’ve had many many vacuums in my life time and I would buy one of these again in a heartbeat. Would definitely recommend.

I own a long haired German Shepherd and, unfortunately, my landlord has carpets in the living room and bedroom – not an ideal combination!
My previous home had hard floor throughout so I was using a cordless Dyson but I felt that it just didn’t have the suction power to lift the MOUNTAINS of hair my lovely doggo leaves behind. I followed a cleaning hack and was going on my hands and knees, pulling a window squeegee over the carpet to lift all the hair left behind by the Dyson. While there’s no doubt it’s a hack which definitely works, it was time consuming and boring.
I also tried a second hand, but barely used, corded Dyson and it was only slightly better.
No such issues with this hoover! The suction power is incredible. It easily clears the dog hair, and to be fair, my long hair out of the carpets.
To make a fair comparison I have used this hoover on my living room carpet and then gone over again with the squeegee and there was very little hair that the hoover had missed.
The vacuum is lightweight so easy enough to carry about however I will say that while the suction power is amazing, it does make the vacuum harder to push and pull over flooring so you need to be quite strong.
I don’t have stairs however all the rooms have really high ceilings so I chose this model to easily clean the dust and spider webs (shudder!) that gather up there. It’s ideal for this task.
The cord is also a really good length, allowing you to easily clean a very large room, or multiple smaller rooms without having to unplug and plug it in again.
There is a green light on the base which lets you know that the brush bar is working. If the light is red, switch the vacuum off, unplug it, turn it over and clear the blockage – in my case it’s usually hair/fur wrapped around the brush bar. A few snips with scissors dedicated to this task and the brush bar is clear and ready to use.
You can also switch off the brush bar to stop it spinning. This is to allow you to vacuum hard flooring such as lino/tiles/laminate.
There is also an air vent above the brush bar which you can adjust depending on the pile of the carpet.
Finally the handle isn’t fixed, it can be extended to use for cleaning and then minimised to make the overall vacuum size smaller therefore making it easier to store if space is limited. The handle can also be removed fully and connected to the hose to make it more sturdy to clean skirting boards, edges of carpet etc.
I think the features of this vacuum and the cleaning power makes this a 5 star buy, it’s well worth the price.

Very efficient and good value for money!
I am giving 5 rating for this vacuum cleaner for its suction power, cord length and over all efficiency.
I don’t know when this vacuum came out, but I wish I had bought it sooner!!! I developed a dust allergy from my old unit just not lifting away anything really.
Firstly it is as light as they could make it, but it still has a bit of weight when you lift it, so be aware. The vacuum has amazing suction!!!! but I would recommend you read the manual and “play” about with it before going 10 bells at it, without the unit in the right setting. There is “magic button” beside the power button that spins the brushes & is indicated by green light. if you close the airvent it vacuums carpets with more suction – as closing vents tends to. I did one vacuum through and the rugs look and feel brand new again! Honestly I can not believe how little hard work I had to put in to lift the bedded in long downy fluffy cat hair that was impossible to remove before.
The attachment set up for using the armpipe to hand vacuum skirtings and awkward hard to reach areas, took 5 mins of figuring out, but is fine..
Please note image was after 1 quick vacuuming session over and a few tiled floors. I went back over the rug in the livingroom next day and this time closed the vent and got the same amount wuthin 3 mins of cleaning. So this baby will do the work a vacuum SHOULD!

fantastic Gem
what a great hoover, light weight (so no bad back) but the suction is second to none. pulls the pile up while deep cleaning, unbelievable how much it picks up. easy to use and easy to empty. The hand tool is a good design, the extension hose gets better with use, a little stiff and fiddle at first but once used a few times its easy. i would recommend to anybody looking for a new hoover, the price is a bounus

Good suction. Hazardous flex!
This product needs either a better holder for the flex or a shorter flex. It creates a hazard as it unravels and tangles around my feet. Apart from that issue it is a good vacuum and easily removes dog hair. If buying again I would choose a model with a shorter flex
extremely powerful suctio
it was a bit confusing about how to attach the hose.when not on the vacuum.. the cord is extra long..the bagless cylinder doesn’t hold that much muck..especially if you have ling haired pets..so every use .you need to empty it..but I’m very happy with my purchase.
Its a very powerful machine
Over all its a brilliant cleaner, the amount of small dust it picks up is amazing as for the stairs I find the pipes reach but they Pull you back to the machine, maybe they need to be a little longer or made with a more flexible design, but don’t let put you off we wanted power and we got it and we got good value for money.

Good Vacuum for price, few niggles, but not deal breakers
Good suction power, works well on all surfaces, quite light and good value for money compared to others. There are a few niggles, but none are deal breakers. The long cord is great in that I can do the whole house from on socket, but is a pain in neck when doing areas close to the socket as it continually falls off the hooks and gets in the way. Switching to use the hose is a pain – it works once its all in place, but could be made easier. Limited tools. The dust collector is small – needs emptying several tomes during one house clean.

Excellent hoove
After having many hoovers I have to say this has to be the best. Owning four dogs a good hoover is a must for me. In the past I have paid fortunes for hoovers but for the money this is brilliant. The chord is extra long, only criticism is the chord is thin so be careful not to catch it with the hoover the suction lifts the carpet!!!
More than happy with this product !!
Awesome hoove
I absolutely love this hoover. It’s so powerful and it leaves the carpets mega clean. Its also brilliant on the tile flooring. The attachments work brilliant too and they are easy to attach. It’s the best hoover I ever had and it’s also cheaper than my previous hoovers.
This is a fantastic vacuum. It will raise the dead the suction power is so strong. It lifts the pile of the oldest carpet and you will be SHOCKED at how much comes out. It is a full body workout to use and is a bit bulky. My only gripe is that it’s not easy to change the attachments, it’s just cumbersome. However I would still get it. Just beware that it will lift light rugs and try hoover them up.

Great suction, no good for stairs
Got this as fed up with poor quality cordless vacuums purchased recently. It seems really robust and the suction is excellent. Fortunately I live in a flat, so no stairs. I think this would be far too heavy to do stairs with. Other than that, 5 stars

Vax air stretch
I’m going to leave this review based on my experience. I recommend this hoover to my dad, because to me this is a very good hoover.
Pros
Firstly I’ve had hoovers that for every room I want to vacuum I would need to constantly change sockets, with this hoover, u do the complete opposite. The cable length on this hoover is unbelievable I can vacuum all my rooms without having to change it. I stay in 3 bedroom Victorian flat, all my rooms are massive, well except my utility room so this is one feature that gets a massive thumbs up for.
Secondly. The suction on this, I can’t even begin to explain. I never need to go over anything twice, even in hard to reach places, and this is where I bring in the extension hose on this, again like the cable is longer than any other hoover I’ve had, the suction on this is that strong I need to be careful where I point the hose.
The container is very easy to empty, it amazing how much this hoover picks up, I hoover quite alot everyday, (kids) so the hoover is hardly off, so it takes a good beating .
I also love the buttons for the kitchen flooring and carpets, it means I can hoover my kitchen without worrying that the brush is damaging it, because when the green light isn’t lit, the brush doesn’t move, but still high suction coming from it.
Cons
The handle on it, for me is very uncomfortable, I can’t seem to get place my hand on it, without feeling sore. The plastic is made awkward, and no matter how you position your hand, it will still hurt.
I asked my dad what he thought of it, and like me he loves it. I don’t think he will look back now.

Great lifter but heavy to carry on stairs
Great wire length just a bit too heavy to hold on stairs and hoover at the same time,but it has a great suctio
Excellent cleaner, shame about the tool attachment.
Excellent vacuum cleaner. Like the facility to turn off the rotating brush, ideal for wooden floors. The hand tool arrangements is far too clunky. Too many things to detach and attach making the use of the hand tools a chore to avoid. There must be a simpler way? Overall an excellent buy if its just for floors. Fior anything else – no, it doesn’t do it for me. Shame as otherwise a great vacuum cleaner.

Vax hoover with long cord and extension pipe
Best hoover I’ve owned. Really powerful for what it is. I’m no expert on hoovers but for me it ticks all the boxes so far. Really embarrassed on first use to see how much it actually picked up. Really long cord and the pipe stretched out all the way up my stairs approx 13 so good all round.

Good Hoove
Not as efficient as last years make but decent enough
Our New vax.
This vax machine is an exact replacement for our original one that during a use it made some very strange noises coming from the motor which them promptly stopped !!! I must say we did have the original machine for about 6 years!!! we are a family of vax vacuums we have one for the down stairs and one for upstairs brilliant machines !!!
Good choice
A very long cord for use all over my bungalow

Vax U85
Attaching long hose a little complicated doesn’t reach to top of stairs
powerful suction, poor desig
OK so there was alot of mixed reviews about this hoover. but I like it!! it has powerful suction, as good as my old Dyson, however the design isn’t great, to nozzle clean you have to detach pipes
from main hoover pipe to assemble it,then detach pipes and reattach to hoover as normal. it takes 1 min but its a pain, not suitable for those with low Mobility/back issues also involves bending to assemble

from main hoover pipe to assemble it,then detach pipes and reattach to hoover as normal. it takes 1 min but its a pain, not suitable for those with low Mobility/back issues also involves bending to assemble
Great lightweight vacuum with very long cord
Second time I have bought the same vacuum, first one bought over 10 years ago. Super lightweight, easy to clean and upkeep. Best thing about it is the long cord makes life much easie
Good hoover but not to light.
Good hoover plenty of cord length and extra extension capabilities.
Fantastic Produc
I have just replaced my old hoover with an identical new one which is testament of how pleased I was with the first one I had which had performed fantastically well over a few years even though I abused it on a major house renovation. The suction power is fantastic whilst the size & weight of it is not massive. I have no hesitation in recommending this product.

A hoover that sucks in a good way
In a world of choice ..this hoover is Brilliant ..It’s a bargain price, Sucks up debris, and has an amazing cord length socan do all rooms from single socket. It’s lightweight making it easier to carry up and down the stairs .
Probably one of the best vacuums I’ve ever had.
This really sucks – in the best possible way. In fact it sucks so we’ll that it will eat a lightweight rug if you’re not careful. Never had my carpets so clean. Cord unbelievably long. Yes, heavier than a cordless machine, but so much more efficient.

A must have
Bought the air reach before .it was fab. Lasted five years with lots of heavy duty use cleaning Holliday cottages. It still works ok ish ,the extension handle doesn’t stay in short position but that’s no big deal
. The brush bar bearing have started to go but you can get replacements along with new filters. It still gets used by my two year old daily. . I got this this one which is identical except for the name change and colour. The suction is amazing. Sucks the carpet up off the floor. Leave nice brushed carpet .can even fit under the beds to clean. Easy empty. Washable filter .easy brush bar cleaning. Lightweight,compact. Don’t underestimate this little star of a machine. I’d certainly be happy paying more.iv had a Dyson before and I loved it but this certainly give Dyson a run for it’s money at a fraction of the price.
Highly recommended

Fantastic vacuum!
This is the 2nd one I have purchased as I am so pleased with the 1st one, I now have one for upstairs and one for downstairs (my stairs are extremely steep!). The suction is fantastic but they are so light to use. The extra long cable on this model means I can plug it in and vacuum the whole of one floor of my house without having to unplug/replug. The only slightly annoying thing with it is the silly clip for when you want to use the accessories, but once you get used to that, it is a delight to use (never thought I’d be saying that about housework!) Maybe the manufacturers can take note and make this “clip” slightly wider?
Better than a Dyso
Amazing Suction
A bit harder to push than a dyson but worth it for the suction boost
Very easy to use including how to swap to accessories
Slender design means it is easy to store.
User friendly with great suction, not heavy to lift, maneuverable, but you need more force than pushing a dyson or a Henry since the suction is so powerful. Also has a hardwood and short carpet setting which has less suction and is easier to push.

Vax cleane
Very good suction on this model but the cord is way too long. The design isn’t as good as the last one I’ve had, its so fiddly to use the attachments. Overall its a good cleaner but I wish it was more user friendly.
quiet and lightweigh
for the price paid for this it’s a quiet and lightweight vacum cleaner also the cord is long enough to go upstairs without unplugging downstairs. i’ve had my old Vax for years so hubby uses it to clean the car and the sawdust in the shed so i feel Vax are a reliable brand

Very powerful
Chose this over a cordless one of the same price betting on the suction power, and I certainly don’t regret it. It’s great for carpets. Cord length is enough for almost all of my 1br flat.
Two things to keep in mind:
– Do not overfill the dust container cuz it could get difficult to clean.
– I would be careful on scratch-prone floors like because if you drag it without the wheels it can scratch the floor.
Picks up dogs fur really well
I have had one of these for years and was so impressed i bought another one. It has a long cord and will stretch nearly from one end of the house to the other, i also have two dogs and it is great for picking up their fur. It is also very light so easy for up and down the stairs. I would recommend this vax to anyone

Three days ago I decided it was time to vacuum clean the upstairs carpets. Just 3 bedrooms and the landing. I have three different carpet types up there. The front hall, stair, landing and front small bedroom have a very deep pile expensive carpet that is still really good after 35 years of me living here, and it was here before I bought the house. The front master bedroom had a non expensive medium-short pile carpet that is only about two years old, and the back bedroom has an expensive short pile (very short but tightly woven) one which is about six years old, my bedroom.
I was still using my old faithful DC04 Dyson that I had from new, so many years ago I cannot even recall where I bought it. The last time I used it, about two months ago it went seriously noisy, this time it blew up as soon as I pressed the power button – smoke everywhere.
So, I had a carry my mains run Ball Dyson up the stairs to clean with that instead. I can’t walk very well having had a serious crash when I was 21, I am 61 now so carting that through the living room and up there – and back is hard for me. So I looked on Amazon to buy a new upright cleaner for upstairs and I decided on this one based on reviews.
It came yesterday. I carted it upstairs, set it on ‘low pile’ and proceeded to vacuum the two big bedrooms. The front bedroom with the cheaper carpet was pretty easy to manoeuvre the cleaner around but still with a good and strong suction. The back bedroom with the expensive low, tight pile was a different matter. It was almost trying to suck itself through the floor. I raised the handle to give myself more leverage and it did help a little.
Then I went onto the landing and into the small bedroom which both have a really deep pile carpet. It was still pulling against the carpet like a good one, and I was struggling. I eventually realised I had neglected to slide the ‘thingy’ to deep pile. Once I did that it was OK with great suction very similar to that experienced in the front bedroom. The suction is so good on this remarkable cleaner that I doubt it would make hardly any difference in the effectiveness of the cleaning if I had bothered sliding the ‘thingy’ between both deep and low pile settings. But boy oh boy did it clean, or what!
There is a reviewer who has stated that it pulls up a “disturbing amount of grit”, not wrong. Look at the picture! Seriously, this is what this VAX pulled out of my upstairs carpets just two days after I went over the same with a three-year-old ball Dyson, the most powerful corded one I could buy at the time, just before they jacked in mains operated ones for good. Disturbing indeed!
As for the cleaner functions. Well the cable is really long, it easily got me to every corner upstairs, in fact it maybe too long as it can get in the way but some careful placement of the coiled up cable into a corner or something before starting can eliminate this to a great extent. And it is quiet as vacuum cleaners go, noticeably a lot quieter than my Dyson.
The slider ‘thingy’ for the pile selection is a bad design. It is very hard to slide from one option to the other, I don’t know if this will slacken off with use. I hope so. I am considering a drop of machine oil in the runners. It is really the only niggle I have.
The operation of this cleaner is simple. There are two orange buttons on the top right of the dust cylinder, one is ‘power’ while the other turns the brush bar on or off. When the brush-bar is turned on a green light illuminates on the back of the cleaning head. I believe the ‘off’ position is for hard floors. It will also remember this setting the next time you use the cleaner.
The handle is adjustable to quite a height and should be able to be set for anyone who uses this model. Easily set by simply lifting a corrugated ring above the cylinder and lifting the handle to the desired height before leaving the ring go – which locks it.
The cleaning head is very streamlined and flat across its surface, no more than maybe 2 – 2.5″ in height, it can go into very low spaces, specially since the cleaner handle can be laid back practically along the floor and it can still be used. It cleans right to the edges too. You place your foot onto the left-hand corner (as looking from behind the cleaner) of the cleaning head to disengage the cylinder section from the ‘lock’ position which you achieve by pulling back on the handle. Much more sturdy I might add than the Dyson Ball, which is so easy that it sometimes does not lock when putting it back up. The VAX cleans right to the edges too, thanks to small openings at the edges of the brush bar housing.
Removing the cylinder is simple, again with the press of a button at the back of the carrying handle. Emptying it is also simple. Once removed you will see an orange tab at the bottom of the cylinder (which is hidden when cylinder is fitted to the cleaner). Press the top and the bottom opens, give it a shake and a few last post – done. (I put it in its entirety into a bag before doing any of this to catch all the dust).
I’ve not used the extension hose on this to do my stairs as yet but the procedure for using it is pretty simple. It is stored on the cleaner on the left side of the cylinder. It comes with a combined crevice and brush tool which stow on the back of the cleaner.
I would certainly recommend this vacuum to anyone.

Great hoover!
Great hoover. Don’t know why people want a cordless because these are great. Bought this exact hoover 3 times now over 7 years. We hoover probably twice a day due to having messy kids and a dust allergy! so well used and
Impressive
I have only had this a week but so far I am really pleased with it. So much better than the Shark I was previously using.
My flat came with a Miele on its last leg. I wanted something cheap to use and that I can leave behind when I move. This will come with me! While it is a bit awkward and the hoses/attachments are not the most ergonomic or as easy and a Miele (not supposed to be at a 1/3 of price!) It more than makes up for in power. I vacuumed my flat w the Miele then immediately used this just after and wow the amount the Vax picked up AFTER the Miele is astonishing. I have no problem recommending this vacuum–excellent product.

high adjustable suctio
very pleased with it, has good adjustable suction. We have no stairs, but it is light and easy to move. Lead is very long so dont have to keep plugging in to different sockets. Good value easy to clean and remove dirt.
Light weigh
i have bought the Vax mach air for years because it’s light weight as i have arthritis,they have great suction.This one i have marked down a star only because it’s a bit loud.
Powerful cleaner with long reach
Good for carpets (strong suction even on lowest setting – makes it a little harder to push on long pile carpets), stairs (very long reach extension and long cord) and hard floors. Good value compared to rivals.
Suction is out of this world
The suction on this machine is out of this world! The cord is super lengthy which means I can leave it plugged in downstairs and vacuum upstairs. The drawback is the hose and the on switch, both fiddly. You want the on switch to be on the handle, but it isn’t, its on the right hand side of the machine which means to have to either reach around with your left hand (because youre holding the handle with your right) or balance the handle on your body and switch it on. Some disassembly required when it comes to getting the hose nozzle out which is time consuming
Nice machine
Easy to use but still heavier than i imagined. Suction was good around the bungalow except for the bedroom carpet. It didnt pick up the bits on the carpet very well.

Ideal hoover for pet and kid home !
Decent cord lengths.
Took a bit of time to work out how to get the hose out and connected properly but now used to it.
Works well and I am pleased with this Hoover.
Brillia
Super vacuum. Very happy with it. I cannot comment on what it is like on stairs because I live in a bungalow. The cord length is ver long so I can go right through the house without changing sockets.
Clunky, but incredible suctio
This is one of the most powerful vacuum’s ive ever used. I love it for our carpets and it has outshined our Dyson without any hesitation. In saying. that, it’s clunky. It’s super heavy, you cant vacuum under the couch or bed (too big) and it’s a bit awkward to move around. I am happy to put up with this though as the suction is beyond incredible and it’s easy to clean.

Works well for the price
Works well as a hoover for those rooms which do not need a more powerful cleaner. A drawback is the overlong cord which seems to have been designed for cleaning an aircraft hangar.
Manual not helpful
I struggled to put it together and found the manual wasn’t clear. What would have been really helpful would have been a video on the Vax website on how to put it all together and get it working. I called in a neighbour to help me and together we managed to puzzle it out. The drawings aren’t that clear. I know many of you sailed through this, but for those of us who struggled, the manual could be clearer.

Good value
As it says on the tin plus ability to raise handle height and turn off brush rotator. With 3 cats and a dog I’d say it handles pet hair very well. Just emptying not a bundle if jollys, but have fashioned a skewer into a giant crochet hook to hook things dow
First class ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I love everything about this vax , ( my old orange vax I have give my friend ) it’s yrs old still works fabulous, Plastic hook to wrap ( wire round has broken along with another plastic bits!! But works great !!! NOW my new orange vax is. SOOOOPER , as it’s wire is miles long with extra tube to fix on for the attachments! Slightly bigger than the older model but still light weight. Suction great and picks up to the skirting boards . 11 out Ov 10
Great suction and long reach
I’ve had Dysons and was tempted to get a shark. However, I couldn’t justify the price and my hoovers only last a year with a big house filled with children, dogs and soot from fires. This did not disappoint for the price. Brilliant suction, does what it says it will do, super long attachable tube, long wire that reaches all the way to the top of the stairs. Works well picking up dog hair and I have 3 big hairy dogs that shed. Out of the box and set up in 2 minutes. Simple.
Simply brillia
Brilliant product at a very good price. I am very impressed. Easy to use, excellent performance all round and the mega long cord makes such a difference to getting around the house. I’d recommend this in a heartbeat. Probably the best vacuum I’ve ever had.
2nd vax
This Vax is perfect for dog hair
And theve put a cord on it so that you don’t have to keep unplugging
My last one lasted 2.5yrs before it set on fire
Not making it up and no just used for in the house..but it just set on fire … unbelievable in today’s era
Solid vacuum, but slightly heavy
We are really happy with the quality and suction on this vacuum. It is quite heavy compared to other vacuum cleaners we own, but we dont use it for stairs so its not a big problem.

Highly recommend
After looking at a few more expensive alternatives (shark & Dyson) we decided to opt for this Vax hoover after reading others reviews. We are seriously impressed by how good this hoover is! Great suction power, cleans both hardwood flooring and carpet extremely well (we couldn’t believe how much dirt it got up from our rug!)
The long and flexible hose makes getting them ‘hard to reach’ places so much easier. It’s a great size and easy to move around / carry up stairs.
Especially for the price (less than half of what we were thinking of spending on the other brands), I couldn’t recommend this more! If you’re on the fence then go for it, you won’t be disappointed!

Super Suction!
I had previously ordered Vax Mach Air only discover no extension hose or adjustable handle or pet tool.
Very happy with my purchase. Like my previous Vax suction is outstanding – take care when hoovering mats. I usually hoover in one direction coming off the mat and turning round, otherwise you end up with sucked up mat!
I think it’s a bit cheeky of Vax to be charging slightly more for this hoover than previously as the only changes they have made are insignificant, as mentioned above and make the model below a worse option.
I can highly recommend this product. Luckily I kept my old pet tool!
No Return Label?
Nothing wrong with this Vacuum just that I ordered it in error. Why is it so difficult to return an object, scan and print return Label? What if I don`t have a Printer? Why not include a Return Label with Order? Not difficult is that?
