I loved this vac when I brought it I use it on all surface tiles,carpet, my shaggy rugs, and my floor boards it’s great to zoom around the house saves so much time and effort the battery last for about 30 mins I do my whole house in the one charge and it’s so easy to clean out the filters I have just run into the same problem my mother in law did the pipe in the brush head snaps and seem to be hard to find the replacement bit iv just used a pool pipe at the moment till I can find the right hose to replace it with

Our First Cordless Vacuum

published

This is our first vacuum cleaner without cord and we were very impressed with the power and the ease of use. It can conveniently be used at any time, on any surface and stored easily. We use this for both carpet and floorboard surfaces as well as to vacuum the car. The battery stands for quite a long time which allows us to clean the whole house through one charge.

Absolutely love it

published

I use it on hard floor without engaging the brush, it work so well. I do have one room with carpet and it works well there too. Being on a charger it is so easy and convenient, actually quicker and easier than using a broom, brush and tray. Easy to empty and clean. Great value.

Easy to use, no cord is so much better!!!

published

The suction is great, the accessories all work well and it even picks up the human hair, as well as the pets. It is fantastic on both tiles and carpets. I can even use it after having so many operations, no pain in the back or stomach. Thanks Vax brilliant

Can't believe I did not buy one sooner.

published

I am loving the manouverability of cord free vacuuming and the versatility of using this to do cars lounges etc not just floors the run time can be a bit short but it has fantastic suction and it fits a lot of the job specific tools from my previous vax vacuum.

Effective but handle is badly designed

published

Effective and I like the ease of use in comparison to upright vacuum, but it is rather heavy and the handle gives me blisters. The off button is too accessible and is accidentally bumped quite often, turning the machine off. I am hoping the next version will be an improvement.

Value for money!

published

Great all around vacuum. Perfect on hard floor, works well on carpet and rugs.the suction power is more than what I expected. The bonus blade kit lifts the value even higher. The power brush works really well.
The only downside is:
1. Body rather heavy. A bit tired when vacuuming for a longer time or in awkward spaces
2. Removing dust not as easy as advertised. A lot of light dust settle on the filter and need to dig out using finger. Or take the entire filter out, than tap it to the dustbin, which is a bit messy.

Very good value and stick vacuum overall.

Super convenient

published

It's powerful & cleans well especially when you use the brushbar function. Super convenient as there is no cords needing to be plugged in while you use it. Simple charge it when you're not using it then away you go. Charge tends to last for 1 or 2 vacuums of my 2 bedroom apartment before needing to be charged again.

Perfect for vacuuming Pet’s hair

published

I am very happy purchasing this Vax blade as i have 5 dogs. Getting rid of dog’s hair is a breeze. Very efficient and and lightweight, although the battery doesn’t last more than two hours of vacuuming. I have a big house and having a lightweight vacuum cleaner is a must for me. Highly recommended!

POOR Suction

published

Don't buy, really poor suction, leaves trails of dust/bits everywhere, even when standing they fall out of the bottom very frustrating having to get a brush and shovel to sweep them up. I use on hard floors and carpets. Wished I had purchased the G Ram Model now. really disappointed

Terrible

published

I was happy with VAX Zen vacuum cleaner so was excited when I saw Portable Vacuum Cleaner similar to Dyson from VAX,"
I bought one of the higher price ones and it is terrible.
It does not suck much at all. It does a little job when the booster button is pressed.
On the carpets, I find everything is still stuck on the carpet. Even on the hard floor you have to go over an item few times with the brush mode on for it to suck.
The nozzle gets blocked just by dust every few times.
This is probably the worst vacuum cleaner we have owned.
It was bought for an area of 20sqm and everyone just prefers to use brush and dust-pan than use this vaccum cleaner at this place.
Bought it on SALE $195.

Disappointing

published

Have to always have boost mode on to get any suction. The noisiest motorised head ever. Didnt do the best suction job, got out old hoover stick & it picked up sooo much more than this crap. Would not recommend Vax. $250 down the drain. So much for new technology

A serious upgrade to meet Dyson head on

published

Great new technology with direct suction into the cyclone so better suction than previous models. Good value and choice of boost mode and upgrade to VX 63 with 45 min run time. We find 35 mins plenty of time to do the quick floor pickups. Made in China but almost everything is not made here anymore so we will have to see if it lasts the distance. Of annoyance is the electrical charge cord has to be inserted every time from underneath the motor (previous model was on top and had expected this) and has to be guided in not just an insert. Also the nice rack to hold attachments to the wall has disappeared and you have to store these elsewhere. A simple hook system to house the item while charging falls short of expectations.
