Purchased this one after have to endure poor suction from one of the chinese made vacuum they sold in ebay. Arrived today and tried straight away. This vacuum does much better than our old one, sucking everything on its way. It sucks so hard it feels like it sticks to my carpet. It pick up hairs and all the dust that we thought were not there. However, after 10 minute of usage the machine was down because of overheating. The internal filter was clogged. After we cleared the filter the... (read more)

Third Vax hoover I have bought since February! After reading great reviews we dedided this was the hoover for us. First one purchased in Feb kept giving an electric shock, second one wouldn't turn on. Decided to try a third one as the reviews where just so good. Third one has worked great until the last few weeks when the clip that holds the actual hoover bit to the collection bit snapped off then the wheel on the hoover fell off and now the hose bit has snapped. Called Vax they are no help... (read more)

Bought this model in Argos and am so disappointed with it. The dust, hairs etc clog up constantly in the central column leaving the main dust barrell empty and stopping the suction. Then there is no access to the clogged mass to clear the blockage. Tried unsuccessfully to do so with my finger whic is an unhealthy thing to doBrought the cleaner back to Argos who have referred me to a vax care line. Any good features are outweighed by the fact that it still doesn't work satisfactorily. (read more)

First of all, the Vax Power Pet 7 cleaner was extremely easy to assemble. In fact when it arrived, I called my husband down from upstairs to help me to do it, as I usually cannot cope with technical instruction manuals. However, by the time he had come downstairs I had done it myself in only a couple of minutes, as all you had to do was to take it out of the box, connect/slot the extension hose to the front of the unit, and either the combination floor head or one of the tool accessories to...

I found the vax very easy to put together and the instructions were easy to follow. It came with a good range of attachments and a HEPA filter which is washable. The vax comes with a 2.5m hose and a good length of cable which means I can do the whole house without having to unplug it for every room. The first time I used this I was shocked at the amount of fluff and dog hair came out of the carpet, and how it reduced the doggie smell. The vax was also a lot quieter and was very easy to...

The Power 7 Pet Cylinder by Vax is an absolute must for all. The best on the market to date in my opinion. Firstly, putting together the vacuum was so easy and the attachments made cleaning my house an absolute breeze. The hose is long and the rounded handle is so much easier for all to hold including my 8 year old son who likes to help out now and again, also the extendable pole made it easy for all members of the family, as I have found that being 6ft tall you end up bending over far too...

This machine is a joy to use. It was easy to put together straight from the box instructions were clear and well diagrammed. But O joy , a super long lead reached downstairs and up-stairs from One socket. But wait why is it so quiet? Why are my three dogs not barking.... because the pitch of this new high powered motor is so quiet it does not effect their hearing...Thank You Vax my husband can keep working without disturbance. The turbo head cleaned the carpet so well that the pile stood... (read more)

I am not sure if you still have the hoover, but if it is of any help the centre area that you are describing that gathers alot of hair that you are unblocking with your finger actually detaches, it is not clear in the instructions. I hope this helps, as this is one hoover I am personally over the moon with.
