VAX 1700 WATT V006 Review

The VAX 1700 WATT V006 is relatively cheap to buy, but very poor pick up from day one. Has to be set to lowest level to have any effect on carpet, but this makes it almost impossible to push. Cheap build quality, first broke down two days after guarantee ran out. Sent back to Vax for repair, cost £30.
Has got through four brush rollers at £13 a time (each has split inn the same place, suggesting a design fault), and at least eight drive belts at £3 a time. Bought for £80, and in seven months since the guarantee ran out it's cost another £100+.
After 17 months and £180+, it's time to throw it away and buy a Dyson - more expensive to buy, but cheaper in the long run.
I won't be buying anything made by Vax again. Avoid this product - it will pick your pocket until there's nothing left.
