Purchased to replace a previous VAX, which we had for years, and this has not disappointed. The swivel head makes moving it around simple and the suction is excellent so very little need to go over the same spot twice. The light on the front does actually prove useful and the emptying and cleaning process is as simple as the last one. I will not lie, the unit is quite heavy and most of this weight is within the removable section so, whilst it is easier to use on stairs, you will still need concentrate and keep a firm grip. Overall very happy with our purchase

Opened this hoover with excitement to see how much of a difference from my old one, I have two dogs and a cat so have always used a hoover designed for animals. I did one room and decided to pack it up and send it back. The brush bar is set behind a soft rolling bar (no idea why) so the soft rolling bar flattens the carpet pile rather than aggravating the pile and zapping up hair and crumbs. The brush bar is so small that it clogged up after ONE ROOM and I couldn’t untangle the hair, I tried to remove the hair with scissors but it’s a terrible design with metal arms going around the bar 🤷♀️ WHY???? I was so annoyed and disappointed that I decided I couldn’t live alongside this hoover happily at all and it’s definitely not cut out for animal hair. I only purchased it because it was APPARENTLY half price so I thought £110 was a bargain, no way this hoover was worth £220, my old hoover (trusty shark) lasted 8 years but packed in two weeks ago so really needed something good and quick and this has just annoyed me more than anything else because I have to pack it up and return it and then find something else asap. It’s also extremely noisy, actually frightened my dogs, the front area is very narrow which is good for some areas like under chairs etc but it just means more work for larger areas. I wouldn’t recommend this hoover I’m very disappointed, never had to return a hoover before it’s usually decent enough to get by with but not this one it’s just rubbish.

I recently purchased this hoover after my Shark died. I couldn’t justify the price of a new shark so looked around and found that the Vax had pretty decent reviews.
Firstly, what I will say is that this hoover has amazing suction. I have kids and two dogs and it effortlessly picked up dog hair and general crumbs,etc. Assembly was simple and easy. The tools that came with it are effective and allow for a range of diffrent surfaces to be hoovered. The light at the front is handy to see any “hidden” bits and the option to clip away from the main body of the hoover is brill for stairs etc.
The negatives for me are that it’s pretty heavy, and doesn’t self propel like the shark, which effects manoeuvrability. Something to bare in mind if you’re looking for a light hoover that moves easily, this ain’t it. The overall quality is alright, however the plastic feels a bit thin and flimsy in comparison to the shark. Another thing that frustrated me was the “lift away” function is a bit of a faff, nothing is one step, it’s all two or three steps in order to swap, release the handle, etc , whereas the Shark is one step and your done which is preferable in my opinion.
As mentioned at the beginning the suction is amazing but because you don’t have the option to decrease the suction, it makes hoovering smaller mats and rugs impossible, unless you use the attachments and not the main hoover.
Overall I’d say it’s a pretty decent hoover for the price, with impressive suction and handy tools. However, next time I need a new hoover I think I’ll be going back to the Shark for ease of use and manoeuvrability.

A lot of reviews complain about the cable getting stuck / damaged underneath. If you’ve ever used a corded vacuum you will know that you have to generally hold the cable. Sometimes I rest in on my shoulder. People are just too lazy or used to cordless!. I’ve had absolutely no problems with this. The vacuum is very powerful and easy to use, had no problems with weight. Also seen classic reviews of it being too heavy. It’s really not – considering the power level. Maybe if you’re 70+ and weigh less than 50kg it would have been smarter to get a specifically lightweight vacuum before buying and complaining about the weight ? Easy to dispose of dirt. The vacuum comes with additional parts which don’t attach so will need to be kept where you store your vacuum. The lift out feature is good but takes a while to get used to, for stairs sometimes it’s just easier to move the vacuum up as you, as the hose is too short. When you pair it with the long static wand it can actually prove to be a bit annoying to operate when you’re in a hurry as there’s isn’t much flexibility for vacuuming as step that’s say not next to you but not more than 1/1.5m.
Overall a great vacuum, say 4.5 stars. You get what you pay for – don’t expect everything to be immaculate, but it is still top tier for the price and power point. (I got it for £150 and has now been 6 months).
