too heavy, doesnt pick up , bit fall off or break

This upright hoover is rubbish, ALL the parts are cheap and flimsy, wont pick up dog hairs and it took me 45 mins to hoover a small room,which is carpeted, you can imagine how long it took me to hoover my bungalow,it falls over very easy and and keeps cutting out and you cant switch it on for 30 mins.I WILL NEVER BUY ANY VAX PRODUCT AGAIN.IT WEIGHS A TON AS WELL SO TO SAY ITS LIGHT WEIGHT IS A JOKE

do not pick up pet hair..or anything basically. got it about 3 years ago, turbo tool stopped working after a month. main component pick up ok on bare floor, not so good on carpets. you basically end up picking most of it by hand. Just finished hoovering my bedroom 4/3 square metres and took me 45 minutes. Very frustrating taking it's awfully heavy! i'll definitely stick with some other brand in future.

I have owned my vax turboforce since 2007(nearly 5 years) and it has been great I had to replace a belt on it for the first time last year and now the bearing has gone in the brushbar a new one will cost me £15 but worth it as the vacuum is still going strong I agree with other comments about this hoover it is heavy and very noisy but it keeps my house clean all in all a good product from vax

Vax 1700 watt
Cable gets in the way
Difficult to use on the stairs
Noisy
Only works well on floorboard setting
Thermal cut out has a problem and the cleaner has now broken after 18 months as a result of this. It now cuts out after 5 minutes and stays off for 30 minutes.
On the positive side, it is powerful and Vax has an efficient customer service but of course, it has they say now past it's guarantee by 6 months so tough.
My Hoover Senior lasted 25 years with one repair(brushes for the motor which I replaced myself) so I guess Vax is using cheap components. Buyer beware

This vacuum cleaner is rubbish. It doesn,t lift unless your on the lowest setting and then you get the smell of burning rubber.I only use it for the stairs as it lifts ok using the tools. BUY ANOTHER CLEANER, NOT THIS ONE.

Awful. Sucks nothing up, keeps cutting out. Have complained to Vax but am still waiting on a reply.
Will never buy a vax product again.
There is nothing positive about this product except I managed to purchase it from the shop across the road, so I didn't have far to carry it. However, I am not able to return it there as the sticker on the top of it informs me. The fact that Vax have put a sticker on each of their products instructing customers to "not take it back to the shop" would suggest they are used to their products being returned.
Awful waste of time efort and money.
Rubish customer service too.
Would give the product zero stars but am unable to do so.

The worst vacuum I have ever had. It is very heavy and the turbo tool has never lived up to its expectations as it blocks very quickly after only vacuuming the mat which the pets lie on, and yet it is supposed to be excellent for pet hair. Also the hose does not stretch very far on stairs like it stated it would in the sales jargon.

Do not buy this machine unless you have arms like Popeye and can afford to replace the Turbo Tool every 3 months

Suction is quite good. especially on a wooden floor. Hard work hoovering the stairs due the weight of the thing. Major problem with overheating on my hoover causing it to cut out, it won't work for an hour then it will for 10 minutes, then it won't work for an hour and so on! Very frustrating!

VAX 1700 WATT V006 really sucks, in a good way. Has lasted years, but starting to wish it was less reliable as I fancy upgrading to a vac that doesn't sound like an jet airliner on full thrust. Bought it regraded so it was a bargain.

REVIEW FOR Turboforce 1700watt cyclonic power cleaner.
I have read some reviews on this hoover and must say some people are rather stupid, I mean no offence but seriously.
First the person that complained about blocked hose, burned out belts, running over the cable and it cutting out. lets take this one at a time.
Blocked hose.
Easiest thing to fix, unblock it and dont pick up things like staws big bits of paper ect as they get stuck in the bends and dirt clogs up behind it causing the hoover to over heat see next point.
Overheating and cutting out.
See above for blockages, remove the blockage allow to cool and wait for the heat cut out to reset
Burnt out belts.
Simple DO NOT PICK UP BIG THINGS, if its bigger that a 2 pence peice and solid DONT PICK IT UP WITH THE HOOVER Running over the cable.
No comment here accept watch what your doing.
My take on this hoover.
Very tough and sturdy hoover.
Picks up ANYTHING and I mean anything.
Glass
Nails
Cables for headphones ect
Sawdust
pethair
you name it.
Gone through about 4 belts scince I have had it One belt burnt out because I accidently hoovered up a sock, other times its been things I have missed like a lilipop stick ect. Its had 2 cut outs .
Only bad thing is the hoover is not very stair freindly and sounds like a jet engine.
But it certinaly get the job done effectivly.
9/10 due to noise and stair freindly.
Will always stick with VAX sorry dyson you dont hold a candle to vax.
