Product reviewsVax TBT3V1F1 Blade 24V Pro Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Pretty good for around £80 refurbished.

Cannot comment on reliability having only just received the cleaner. I tested the battery and it ran, from fully charged, for 48 min on low power which matches the claimed run time. Being refurbished there was some evidence of previous use, but overall the condition was very good, with all the extras included. The crevice tool, when extended, lacks a bit of rigidity but is usable. Unextended, it's OK. The other tools I haven't needed to use so far. Based on the short time I've had it, I'd say the cleaning aspects match my expectations [it's not an up-market Dyson at an up-market price]. Compared to the Bosch 25.2V Athlete it seems to pick up larger pieces of debris better [the Bosch tends just to push them around] but the suction on high power is not as great. On the other hand, you can still push it about without too much effort - the Bosch on high power virtually sticks to the floor and is hard to push. The Vax high power suction is about the same as the Bosch on medium power. The Vax brush head seems to get deeper into the carpet and digs out a bit more stuff than the Bosch. Emptying the Vax is easier and cleaner than the Bosch. Filter cleaning seems likely to be easier with the Vax but I have yet to confirm this. The handle I find a bit uncomfortable for extended use, and the weight and balance are acceptable for this type of design. The build quality appears to be adequate rather than excellent, although everything seems to 'click' into place with decent precision. At full price I'd give it 3.5/5. At around £80 refurbished, it's more like 4.5/5 assuming it doesn't fall apart or stop working within a couple of years or so.Read full review...

Good product but...

Good product and fairly powerful but I would recommend using it on the boost function as normal function mode is in my opinion, rather week.
It certainly holds enough charge to complete our 2 bedroom home on boost, so all good.
One thing I'm not overjoyed at is the fact that it doesn't lift small hard particles..or ,it does but they fall back down the tube when you switch off.
Overall, pretty good quality for the price and fairly happy with my purchase. Read full review...

VAX cordless Vacuum version TBT3V1B1

This vacuum is surprisingly very good . Picks up dirt that you can't even see . Yes It's not as good as the leading corded vacuums but it's as powerful as a standard corded vacuum . It does the job with some battery life to spare . It gives 45 minutes run time thanks to its upgraded 32V battery .
It has an electronically activated brush bar which is superb for stubborn dirt and carpets and rugs etc . The weight is not too light and not too heavy which is perfect for me . It has a nice battery display and 2 buttons to activate the brush bar and the boost suction mode . Charging time is few hours which is not too bad . It looks very modern and stylish . I'm quite happy with the suction power as it gets the job done nicely . I recommend this vacuum to all . Read full review...

Great product

This cordless cleaner is easy to use and I had no instruction manual to help me. The suction is very good and it gets a lot of dirt off the carpets. There is a boost button but I find it works well without it and I haven't had to use the boost function yet.

It's very easy to empty and to clean the filters. I would recommend this as a good buyRead full review...

Great Vac

Love this VAX, had the lower voltage model before this which packed up after a few months, ( seemed that the motor on the brush bar gave up) but was willing to give this one a chance as I like it’s performance ( and I am fussy about clean and dust free floors).
I like that it is lightweight for whizzing around when you are in a rush, ideal for a fast clean on the stairs, or when you can’t be bothered with your heavy vac.
It is easy to empty, and the filters are easy to wash and dry, I do this regularly to keep its performance and I bought another set so you don’t have to wait for them to dry.
The brush bar does get wrapped up with hair, and my hair is long so that has to be removed regularly.
The suction doesn’t feel massive, but it picks up stuff my bigger vac doesn’t, it has a boost for the brush bar which certainly helps to get probably as clean as any vacuum and it makes the pile on the carpet look good.
Good value provided it lasts longer than the previous model, and I would definitely choose this 32v model.Read full review...

great lightweight hover

Impressed with the vacuum cleaner especially the powerboost button. It's so easy to use and manoeuvrable. I found it to be very powerful on carpeted and hardwood flooring, and I can do all of my vacuuming easily, plus with no cords to trip over while cleaning the stairs it's high on the list of best products I have ever bought!Read full review...

Amazing Value

Amazing value I ordered a refurbished Vax when it came I was very happy with it, it looks brand new and does everything it says on the box, much easier to use as your'e not dragging a cable all over I get my work done in half the time. I thought the suction would not be as good but it is and better again when you use the boost. It is quieter than my other Vax. It is much lighter as well. The only fault I have with it is the on off switch I keep turning it off when I catch the button accidentally. Otherwise I am very happy with it I would recommend this Vax to everyone.

Vax32V blade 2

Overall very good cordless for the money. only downfall is the battery life will last maybe 25 minutes on full power. It will not replace your main vacuum cleaner but great for a quick tidy.
Would recommend the company i bought from although they are refurbished they are like brand new. A***Read full review...

A vacuum cleaner

Glad I bought one, works better that the one that starts with D. Much prefer the side door and balanced handle. The accessories work well. One problem I found was the tube locking catch, it wouldn't release some pipes. I fixed that easily by filing a small part of the rim lip on all the pipes and it released as it should.
Good power and lasts less than advertised but what device or car performs like on the ads ? None. So bearing that in mind, it's quite good for 20 minutes.
Let's not forget it's a vacuum cleaner, not a life changing moment...a machine that sucks dust. It won't make you fitter, fatter or flatter...it will lift dust.
Don't read this if you want poetry or ten dollar words describing a wonderful experience..who has those while sucking dust ?
It's a vacuum...it's good, it don't zoom, not made of wood, just cleans a room, just as it must.Read full review...

What’s not to like!!??

Great machine. I have mobility problems and find a corded cleaner too heavy to use, but find the Vax Blade is equally efficient, and of course much lighter to manoeuvre. Wish I’d bought one much earlier.Read full review...

at less than half the price of other brands of similar cordless designs I was pleasantly surprised.

It is light in comparison to my previous cordless but when using the turbo button, every bit as good, Using turbo, of course, shortens the battery time but when you get used to which surfaces to use it on there is plenty of time to do the whole home and then charge it ready for the next time. Quick to fully charge maybe a couple of hours. Easy to clean the filter after every use too to keep up optimum cleaning powerRead full review...
