I have always been a Dyson girl but comparing prices with Dyson V8 Animal against the Vax Blade & Good Guys 100 day return on the Vax if I wasn't happy & I could then trade up & get the trusty Dyson, I thought why not give it a go. Trust me, this Vax has real guts, gets the dog hair out of the carpets & it cost half the price of the Dyson, I'm very happy with my purchase.

We had a couple of handheld Vacs and some with the main part that clipped out and you could use it as a little hand vac.. Well they were all cheap and poorly made and didn't have the grunt we were after. However after buying the Vax Slim Vac cordless pet we reckon it's a winner. If you keep it clean (empty frequently and clear gathered stuff on the revolving brush occasionally you will be rewarded with a good performing rechargeable portable vac. We love it.

We are quite happy with the suction from this model, it is very light in weight, my kid could handle this, our apartment is wooden floor and this vacuum cleaner is convenient to use, as it is portable, we often use to clear our car, only disadvantage is noise, bit loud

Was drawn to vax due to the time factor, helave heard dysons run out too quickly. Battery life is brilliant, was heavy to start as used to a bag vac and does weigh about 3kgs but after a while its fine. Easy to clean car as well, great attachments, floorboards and carpet. Suction great. Should have bought one years ago. House is 13sq and lasts the distance!!

Do not buy if you have a long-haired pet. The hair bunches around the brushes in the head causing a blockage, and thus needs cleaning out all the time. It is also quite heavy on your hands as the motor is high. My hands ached after vacuuming one room. I would not recommend it for pet owners.
The house has vinyl, tile and carpet floors
