Vax VAU1200

Excellent on carpets, very good on hard floors, and generally nice to use. Badly let down by the nozzle attachment which runs from a hose that is way way too short and pretty well useless for anything you would want to use a nozzle attachment for. You would find it easier to use a dustpan and brush to sweep those places!

This is a great vaccum,it gets the deep dirt hidden in the carpet, you can adjust the angle on it to get under beds or other furniture,being bagless makes it easy to empty. It's the best vaccum cleaner I have ever owned.

Brought one of these 2 years and 10 months ago . Wrote a review then. So this is an update. 3 year warranty. Machine stopped working at 2y 10months rang customer care. 1. It was in Australia. 2. The response was we will look after you. 3 . They did. Was told to return to H/Norman with proof of purchase. Sent machine off to be fixed. 8 days later rang and told to come and pick it up. Low and behold Brand new machine in its box. Thanks VAX. Well done. Nice to see you stand behind your product and warranty. Cheers
PS still a great machine, better than a Dyson for 1/4 of the price.

Bought it on boxing day sale. Great price. Wasn't expecting the results I'm getting from this unit. Suction is excellent and it cleans all floors. I like it comes with 3 years of warranty. It is very easy to move around in house and not heavy. Only need to press one button to empty it's bin. Love it...

We have a small place, so not a lot of storage, but the Vax is nice and compact and light weight which makes it easy to store, works ok on tiles, works great on the carpet with the spinning brush head, it fluffs up the pile great and very easily, sucks well, fairly cheap to buy.

We have wooden floors mostly with some carpet. The vacuum is hard to push over the carpet due to the suction but it does not work well on timber floors. The hair gets caught around the wheels preventing them from turning. The hose is attached inside a plastic guide and so you cannot use the hose with attachment to do stairs or cobwebs up high.For the same reason it is useless in cleaning the car.
I regret buying this vacuum cleaner and have since bought a different one.

It has excellent suction and works very well on the carpet. Emptying is fairly easy, although more messy than a bagged vacuum. In terms of storage it manages quite well, a small apartment can be vacuumed two or three times without needing to be emptied. It is somewhat bulky, but easy to maneuver on ground, it has the ability to lay more of less flat on the ground, allowing you to reach under your bed. It's loud, but talking over it isn't impossible.

Seems great - once I worked out that you needed to tilt back the main part. Have never had an upright vacuum cleaner before. Very impressed with suction on hard floors and carpet. Love the bagless thing, and like being able to see what's been sucked up! Lightweight but on wheels anyway so better for back.
