It was the colour scheme which drew my attention. Lovely. However I am not disappointed with the performance. Easy and nippy to use as well as doing a great job. I have just changed from a Dyson which I found very heavy and cumbersome to use but this little machine is proving its worth. Hard floors and carpets are simple with this lighter weight vacuum. Absolutely no regrets about buying this brand. I would whole heatedly recommend this vacuum cleaner.

Update January 2021 Had hoped the Vax would become easier to use as I got used to it but I regret to say that I am so disappointed with it and would not buy another. The weight, poor manoevrability and general clunkiness means I dread having to use the machine. Original review May 2020 Heavier than expected and nowhere near as nippy and manoeuvrable as our old Vax Air, the steerability feature is poor. Suction is very good and has a slider to vary the strength which is good as on high suction the Vax is almost impossible to move on our carpets! The brush bar is now full width uninterrupted by bracing which is a marked improvement. The longer power lead length is a real bonus (partly explains increased weight) The increased capacity of the dust collector is better but it still fills up fast especially when used on newer carpets The ability to clean the dust collector is much improved as you can now take out the innards from the clear sleeve to properly clean it out when dust has gone above the max line. The flexible hose is way too short for any useful application unless the rigid handle is added so this means you need to use the 'lift out' module for hoover dusting and stairs etc. The 'lift out' module is quite heavy and has to be held all the time as it is totally unstable on its rather pathetic base stand. This means you have no hands free to move things out of the way which is inconvenient. The 'lift out' unit can only be used with the short flexible hose without attachments otherwise you need to fit the long rigid handle to use the attachments but this means it is very poor for use on stairs as the rigid handle is too long to go side to side across the stair treads so you have to use a short front to back scrubbing action which doesn't get into the back of the tread nor clean the front lip properly. The pet turbo brush can only be fitted to the end of the rigid handle but is only a plug fit with no lock so it falls off whenever you bump it. The pet turbo brush also is at an angle to the turbo head which is probably fine for use on the floor but doesn't work on stair treads where you are typically standing a couple of steps down. Noise levels are okay but seem higher than the old Vax Air which is a shame. The power cable at last comes with a clip on the top of the handle to try and keep it out of the way but it still rather easily unclips and gets under foot. Overall some things are improved from our old Vax Air but we are left disappointed especially on the weight, manoeuvrability and stair/hoover dusting aspects.Read full review

Take out of the box and I was ready to go. Everything made sense. Really easy to use. Very effective with pet fur. Powerful cleaner which can be adjusted. Would recommend 100%

I have waited to review this hoover as I wanted to use it thoroughly first .. I have had four vax hoovers previous and found them reliable and easy to use .. however this one I regret buying .. it is very heavy to start with … the hose is not long enough to use when doing stairs and the cylinder does not stand upright it keeps falling over and banging walls .. so you have to hold the cylinder in one hand and the hose in other hand which I do not find easy to do … as I said I do regret buying this..

Good suction power, easy to steer around, light to handle, easy to empty. It feels a bit flimsy at first but you get used to it, and working out the attachments may take practice too. But overall I am happy with it, would give it a 4.5 / 5
