Good, handy vacuum cleaner. Powerful

Great vacuum, bought to replace my shark. This vax has better suction by far.

I purchased this vax steerable hoover after my old one decided to give up the ghost after 10 years of loyal service. My recently retired vacuum is the 1st generation of this particular model, so I've basically replaced like for like. On 1st impressions, I really liked the look, style and colours of it; it's very sleek and visually pleasing to the eye. The real test came when I used it for the time; the suction power on this machine is insane; i mean, it could suck the chrome right off of a door knob and the performance wont drop at all. It's almost double that of its predecessor and then some, plus, it's quieter then my older hoover too, you can actually have a conversion with someone in the same room whilst using it without having to shout your head off over the noise. This machine will suck the living hell right out of any carpet/rug/flooring you have, getting out even the finest of dust/dirt that is trapped deep down in the fibres, leaving your floor looking and feeling brand new again. The detachable unit feature is just awesome; it makes doing the stairs or the car so much easier, no more having to lug around the entire unit whilst doing certain tasks. The power cord could be abit longer though, my older hoovers cord was 2 meters longer then this one and I managed to do the whole house, upstairs and downstairs from one plug socket; I have to move sockets with this new machine to complete the same task. I gave this product 4 stars for the following reasons: - the materials used to construct it, such as the plastic casing, are real cheap and seem flimsy. My older hoover compared to this one was built to withstand a nuke blast and still carry on working. The new machine feels like it could break apart just by looking at it the wrong way and you will need to provide a safe space for it along with some counseling. Cheap materials means inferior products. - the power cord is some what of a good length but still falls short of previously owned machines; this is also made of the cheapest possible materials and also feels flimsy. It gets tangled easily and because its situated at the bottom of the machine near the wheels rather then nearer the top,near the handle like my older hoover, it makes it abit awkward to handle when using it. - the detachable suction hose is ridiculously short; you will most definitely need to buy an extension hose to get any kind use out it. - the 2 tools provide are ok at best, but yet again, made from the cheapest materials available and will probably need replacing after a few months of usage. The stair brush attachment is pointless, it doesn't really work all that well and doesn't pick up as much dirt/dust as you would expect it too. - my older hoover had a bright white l.e.d strip light on the brush head, which proved to be a really useful feature when hoovering dimly lite rooms; this new one doesn't have that feature which is a shame. Overall though, despite being made of the cheapest materials known to man and will most likely need replacing in a couple of years time, this hoover is definitely worth buying; the suction power and detachable unit feature more then make up for the flaws that it has. I would and I have recommended this product to friends and family, and some have actually purchased it after seeing/using mine. For the price, it out does every other high end machine out there, such dyson/shark/G-tech, just to name a few, where you pay a stupid amount of money for something that does the same job, just not as good; those other machines are seriously over priced pieces of garbage that couldn't hold a candle up to the vax brand.

A great light weight hoover. Easy access to difficult corners. Simple to use as a car vaccum by just taking off stand to be hand held with one click.

The hoover itself is very powerful however the hose attachment is not practical as requires to much effort to swap over. only fault with this product.

Goodbye shark vacuum and hello vax! Massive different from the old shark model we replaced and the accessories are also far superior! Very worthwhile purchase with lots of options and settings to suit any need! Would highly recommend at this price point

The product is really good, highly recommended.

Love this vacuum! Beats my old Shark and Dyson hands down. Not too heavy and easy to clean Have recommended to friends and family.
