Bought this after my old vacuum packed up after a number of years of heavy use, and I am glad I bought this because for the price it is amazing! Firstly, I was nervous as I was not sure that this would be powerful enough given the new requirements for vacuum cleaners to achieve certain efficiently and noise standards, but the cyclonic motor is very powerful, quiet and maintains it's suction. The machine comes with a range of attachments which allows you to clean stairs, upholstery and anything else around your house! No other vacuum brand offers so much for your money (if you were to buy them additionally, they'd probably cost a bit) Cleaning performance is excellent,the brush bar gets right into the fibres of my carpet and the variable suction on the floor head definitely helps with different types of flooring i.e. short-pile upstairs and the long-pile rug in my living room. The extension hose is excellent for cleaning the stairs (and the main reason why I considered this cleaner) and has great reach to the top. The power cord is extra long so I don't need to keep plugging in again when I move around the house - also good for cleaning the car. Overall, it's offered more than I can think of, it's extremely lightweight and very easy to maintain, range of attachments make the machine very versatile. When I unboxed it, I was surprised how compact, small and light the machine was meaning I don't have to lug it around everywhere and I can clean around the home also!Very satisfied, and Vax products are always top notch, quality and reliable. Parts are easily available should we ever need them, and has been very reliable thus far. The best vacuum cleaner I have ever purchased, after careful consideration of other types of brands which don't even come close. My only gripe is that they've put a hose clip around the side of the machine (connects the body to the floor head) which severely limits the reach particularly if you are cleaning the stairs. This is however easily removable by removing two screws around the side and it clips off, thus allowing more flexibility with the short hose, so you can extend it a little bit more, and connect other accessories as and when needed! Also, I don't have any pets so wasn't needed for any specific reason but to achieve a total home clean, and since the difference between this and the lower model (which is very similar, but doesn't have the same reach) meant that I didn't have to carry it around on the stairs and I can get a range of attachments for a little extra, then this was the one to go for! 2 year warranty is there for peace of mind. Highly recommended, buy it whilst you can!

I've had a Vax Mach Air for several years and loved it - the only negative aspects of it were the hose was inadequately short and the suction pulled up the vinyl floor covering. The Vax Air Stretch Pet Max vacuum though has sorted those problems - the extension hose allows for a longer reach and the air vent allows the suction to be decreased or increased so no more vinyl being sucked up!I'd advise prospective buyers to look at the promotional video because it shows where you store the extension hose on the vacuum when not in use (not shown in the instruction book!) and also I had never considered using the 3in1 tool to clean the shroud.The suction is powerful and cleaned the carpets brilliantlyand quickly - the Mach Air needed to be passed 2 or 3 times across the same section of carpet to get all the cat hair off but this Air Stretch needed to pass just once over the carpet and it came up spotless.The vacuum is lightweight, and so easy on the back, however I have to agree with a previous comment and say that the photograph showing a woman holding it up with just her little finger is extreme! I tried it and it's not really feasible: first finger maybe but not the little! So, who is the woman? Wonderwoman moonlighting as a model?And everyone likes the extra long cable, except possibly me. I feel as though I'm getting tangled in the coils of cable - though yes, you can vacuum upstairs without the need of taking the plug out from downstairs but to be honest I didn't find that a great hardship. Possibly the promotional video should include how to avoid tripping over the cable because I obviously don't have the knack but maybe with time and practice I'll manage it! (The previous Vax had a shorter cable and I had no problems). I do agree though with the comment that the cable hooks, especially the top one, should be longer for storage of the extra long cable.Bought the Pro Cleaning Kit as extra, and find them really useful.So, overall I'm very satisfied, it's a great machine and very pleased I purchased it.

This vacuum cleaner is one which is hard to beat. I was very surprised by the strength of suction from the cleaner, way beyond my expectations and far superior to current cleaner by well known manufacturer. The vacuum cleaner is light and easy to carry upstairs, and after use is very easy to empty and clean the storage container and internal suction tube. The carpet pile has actually been lifted and now has more spring to it than before cleaning. We have dogs which means extra dirt is brought into the house but not something we can stop. Using this Vax cleaner has shown our previous vacuum was not lifting all dirt out of the pile.Surprise was finding how much grit was picked up first few times using the Vax..now we know the carpet is getting a really great clean!Also have to say to my delight how good the Power Tool is for cleaning carpeted stairs. With it being suction powered I thought it may have been a little week when working against the carpet pile, how wrong I was. The Power Tool is an exceptionally good accessory and great to use with extension hose, reaches right to top of stairs now.Only 2 things I could suggest regarding design is to enlarge the top cable winding arm as the cable is so long which is a great bonus, but it does get close to top of the folding arm..slightly taller would be helpful. Other is possibly having rubber end covers on the brush head to protect itself and skirting boards/furniture from knocks.This vacuum cleaner is an excellent piece of equipment which I am very happy to recommend to anyone looking to purchase as first time or replacement.

Wow! I may be a convert! The cable means the whole house can be vacuumed from one socket, the fact that it is flat means less tangles too. The suction was VERY impressive. Whilst I have 3 dogs unable to comment on pet fur as they had had a cut last week but I am confident that it will pick up pet fur with ease. It appeared to pick up better than our current upright and being able to easily switch between hard floors and longer piled carpets is a big bonus. A few minor niggles: The hose not being connected to the handle was a bit of a fath. The hose does look a little fragile, time will tell as to how frequently that will need changing - I know the reason why a competitor reduced the length of theirs.It does need emptying more frequently because it has a smaller collection 'bucket' (can't think of the correct name just now) but then that is one of the reasons why it is quite light.Overall, I am incredibly pleased with my purchase. Love the tool for vacuuming the sofa and can't wait to try that in due course (have leather here so unable to test this just now). Will it lose suction strength over time? How resilient will it be? All answers I cannot give but given it has a 6 year guarantee I cant see how anyone could go wrong purchasing this product. Would give 6 stars out of 5 if I could!

Initially I was unsure about how this Vax vacuum would perform. I needn't have worried. The features on this vacuum really do work and effortlessly. Switching surfaces and adjusting the suction power is a breeze. I have no trouble reaching up my stairs (two bends included) and I never have to unplug throughout the whole house! Emptying is simple, I like how the system strips down providing easy maintenance.If you are deliberately looking for a steerable vacuum or no cable then look to another vacuum however, I have no issues with these features.I wonder if Vax could make a steerable stretch!For a (under £100) vacuum, this Vax really does perform and doesn't leave a drop behind in my house.The suction has been consistent right out of the box, storage is hassle free and the construction is solid.Vax automatically registered the vacuum's guarantee, which I thought was a nice touch. Buying direct from the manufacturer feels like a wise decision, the customer service is pleasant and available.Vax Will be our go to from now on.Read full review...

After owning another Vax for 11 years, I was happy with buying another Vax. The main reason was that our current one was very heavy, and this model is 3.9kg lighter. We were about to order one of the cheaper models, but on trying out the extended hose in the store, thought the ability to clean the whole of the stairs with the cleaner at the bottom could be a really useful feature.So today I got it out of the box. Wasn't hard to assemble. It was easy to use. The cleaning power compared to the old one was AMAZING! Literally got dirt out of the carpet that could have been there years. I am assured that the carpet had been cleaned 3 days ago and we'd hardly been in the house since.Very pleased with this purchase. True, the attachments on the hose are not as convenient as could be, but there are four of them. I think the variety of options means that the inconvenience is worth it.I did read other reviews questioning its sturdiness, but it seems put together well enough and as long as you aren't heavy-handed, the clips for the hoses should be fine.

We didn’t really need a new hoover but I liked the idea of an upright to save on space...Researched lots of different makes and models. Had heard good things about other, more expensive, brands but couldn’t justify the spend. Sold our old hoover but before we let it go I hoovered downstairs. Vax arrived the next day and I thought there wasn’t any point in ‘testing’ as the floors had been done the previous day. Set it up anyway and was shocked!Went over the rug and it picked up so much stuff - embedded pet hair mostly (we have a cat) that I didn’t even realise was down there. So impressed that we did the downstairs of the house again and the rest of the house! The carpets look almost new.Love this hoover and recommend to anyone that I see looking for 1. For the price it’s definitely the best one we’ve had. The only (small) downside is the connecting of the tools. This is a bit fiddly and they can’t be carried ‘on-board’ the hoover for quick changes between attachments.

We bought this after having one of the cordless had held vax vacuum cleaners which we were really happy with. We were unsure at first but as we started to use it we were very impressed. It is extremely light weight so easy to get up and down the stairs. All the attachments fix on easily. The suction is strong and stready. With 2 dogs and 2 cats pet hair is a constant battle. This vacuum removed more pet hair from the carpets than our previous (non-vax, very expensive) vacuum with little to no effort at all. The turbo tool was fantastic on the stairs. My only complaint is the attachment did come off a couple of times so I had to be careful whilst using it.However with a 6 year guarantee and excellent customer service from vax this shouldn't be a problem. The dirt chamber is rather small and we did get dusty emptying it. Overall we are very impressed with the machine and feel it was worth the money. We would definitely consider buying another vax upright again in the future.

I have been using this for a week and I love it. It is a lot lighter and a lot more efficient that my previous well named vacuum cleaner. It is also a lot quieter. The only difference to previous machine is that the cylinder is smaller so therefore requires emptying more often however, that is no big hardship. I have two large dogs so it fills very quickly. I get the impression that the VAX is getting dirt out of the carpets which has been there for a very long time! The other benefit is that you can dismantle the whole cylinder so that it is very easy to clean and wash out. The only other thing I would like to see is a larger cable hook for the cable as it is too small to hang the verylong cable on it but again not a huge issue as I just drape the cable on the machine lower down when stored. The suction is very strong but can be adjusted by the sliding bar on the side of the machine.

I purchased this a month ago and have used it many times. This was a transfer from a pull along Vax hoover which I have had for 7 years. The significant differences for me was the fact of the weight, getting used to increased weight in the movement was something I had to adjust too. The tools that attach on the area on the back of the upright does not seem to hold very well and can fall off quite regularly which is inconvenient when hovering large areas. However if you do not require them for the intricate spaces then removing them whilst hovering is not a major drama. The suction is very good and as with all Vax very easy to clean and buy additional filters. I have owned a Vax now over 7 years and will continue to do so.The after care and support from my experiences has been that of positive. I hope this assists future customers with their purchasing decisions.

I'm always cynical when a product claims to be better than any other in its field but I was really delighted when I used the Vax Air Stretch Pet Max. It is a well designed cleaner with everything thought through; from the extra length hose, to how all the tools fit together so well, and it's also really easy to use. It easily deals with cleaning skirting boards, the extending handle reaches the coving and ceiling with no problem, and does a really efficient job of cleaning carpet, floor tiles, lino etc, with its sliding adjustor. In addition, this cleaner is very good at getting close to the carpet edges. It is lighter than other similar types of cleaner but still does an excellent job.All in all, a very versatile, efficient and well designed product which makes vacuuming a pleasure!

bought this hover yesterday for my Father, he is 92 years young and wanted something lightweight, this fits the bill and he can do the stairs and leave the machine at the bottom of the stairs....no lifting...brilliant, the only Gripe I heard from him today and I agree as I have one, is that the cable is very very long and the cable grip is not substantial enough to hold all the cable, you can just about do it, needs a bigger hook on the hoover to compensate for this, of course my DAD is old school and asked about a "beater Bar", well with this hoover one is not needed, its brilliant at picking up ingrained dirt from deep pile carpets, oh! and he has a cat, which molts furiously everywhere,so see if this does the trick.

The Vax is powerful, quiet & efficient. It comes with a good selection of tools and has long enough reach to do the whole flight of stairs. Like many modern vacuums, it can be a bit hard to push due to the powerful suction, but there is an adjustment for this. We have two pets that shed like crazy and the Vax had no trouble completely removing all the hair from carpets & rugs. Personally, I don't really rate turbo brushes for furniture as they tend to stall with only moderate resistance & this one is no exception, but the Vax performs excellently without it. A great feature is the button to switch off the brush bar while cleaning hard floors to prevent damage.Overall I'm extremely happy with this product.

I bought this to replace the previous vax that I had had for 10 years. I was dubious as to the power as the old one was 2000w and this is 800. I'm pleased to say that the new one cleans just as well except that it's not so good at the edges. The power cord is too long and it's impossible to only unwind the length you need as the rest falls off anyway. Also not all tools store on the cleaner so it's a pain to find somewhere to keep them and then you have to find them when you need to use them. On the plus side, it's light and easy to use and the extending hose is brilliant for doing the stairs. Overall a very good cleaner although I'm not really a fan of purple.

Bought this hoover a few weeks ago as my old hoover (that we had been given) finally gave up and just stopped working... had Vax hoover before which is why we looked at them again. I can't believe we stepped away from this brand.... the suction on this hoover us superb and picks everything up... it is genuinely better than the Dysons we have had previously which goes to show you dont have to spend a lot to get more value for your money... the only thing im nit happy with is the holder for the tools doesnt hold them securely and they fall off im not fussed if i need them ill grab them from the cupboard. Definitely money well spent!
