Good Points

Lightweight.


Bad Points

The belt breaks with hair, the turbo tool breaks within 2 months. Using the handheld device is awkward as you have to unplug it from the base every time.


General Comments

I had the bad luck of buying this VAX VS-193S vacuum cleaner around 6 months ago. The same day I bought it the belt snapped because a hair got stuck in the rotating device! I had to buy other 2 belts for £ 10 that were broken within the month. Basically, this vacuum cleaner is meant to be used on a clean floor with no hair on it. It can cope with a slight dust.
The Turbo Tool was the next to go, although apparently perfectly working and clean, it doesn't rotate any longer.
To use the handheld tool you have to unplug part of the base and insert the pipe, making it awkward to use. The picture that is used in the advertising is of the handheld device pipe connected, so in order to be able to use the rotating base on the carpet that pipe has to be taken out. Complicated and badly designed.
DON'T BUY unless you fancy spending a fortune on belts and go nuts plugging and unplugging pipes.
