    I keep cleaning the replaceable filter, but it does not stop it overheating and cutting out. Is there a second cleanable filter? I have been extremely disappointed with the cleaner.

    Absolutely rubbish. On first use this hoover seems very good and powerfull but don't be fooled, within 2 uses the filter will be clogged and it will have lost virtually all suction. The filter is constantly blocked and a nightmare to clean.

    The filter is terrible, constantly having to clean it out, wash it then wait for it to dry. So i tend to have two on the go, one in the wash and one in the machine. Suction last one hoover of the downstairs and only ever totally gets all the hairs off the carpet when the filter is brand new.
    Would not recommend this to anyone. Filters aren't cheap either, by two new ones nearly every month and a half!!!

    Dissapointed in our Vax vo91. Hoover gets very hot after hoovering with it for only a short time, so I keep switching it off to give it time to cool down. When we first purchased the cleaner I thought that the suction was good, but I have noticed for some time now that it has lost the strong suction, and is'nt picking up enough. The hoover pipe has just split at the end and my husband has had to mend it.This is my first Vax hoover, and I wont buy Vax again due to being dissapointed with it.

    i went for the vax v-091ps cylinder cleaner. used on and off for approx 3 months, (12 month warranty) found it to be getting very hot, loud, and failing to pick up.
    returned it to argos today to be told that the argos rep would have to speak to a vax rep before he could rectify.
    while he was on the phone with the cleaner running he completed a full parts filter and tube check. still no joy.
    then the argos rep repeated to me what he was told by the vax rep, which was that, vax had found that if i ...

    I Went For The VAX V-904PB £146.79 From Argos. 12 Month Warranty.
    Within The The First 3 Months Of Use It Had Lost It's Power And Had Turned Very Loud.
    Sticker On Handle (Do Not Return To Store Phone Vax).
    Phoned Vax And Waited For My Turn To Speak And Found 13 Mins Later I Was Still 16 On A Waiting List To Speak To A Vax Rep.
    Phoned Argos Instead And I Was Told To Return It To The Store, Which I Did.
    I Was Informed By The Argos Rep As He Spoke To The Vax Rep Via Phone, That Vax Or Argos C ...

    VAX V-091 Performance heats up the room. No suction, heavy and loud.

    The VAX V-091 is a great vacuum to use, cleans effectively, turbo head does not clog or jam unlike my old vacuum. It also looks great I think and with the ease of use being a definitive 10/10 you just can't go wrong!

    My VAX V-091 looks nice but obviously has some design issues. It can't maintain its power. Others have obviously found this too when I see these reviews.

    There is a sticker on the machine saying - don't send it back to the shop, call us (did they expect me to send it back?). I called VAX. They suggested I send it back to them for repair.

    Since it was new I returned it to Comet for a refund. We had a cheap Philips vacuum for 10 years which did the job much better.

    I bought this VAX V-091 Performance as my mother had had a vax for years, so thought i was buying a good value product. I have been so disappointed with my purchase. The shape of the hoover means it gets stuck on chair legs, sofas and door frames. The poor quality hose is too bend and now has unravelled from the handle, meaning it is broken after 1 year.

    I chose the VAX V-091. My husband uses it and moans every time!! It's poorly designed, heavy, difficult to store. Not particulary good suction. One of the worst choices I've ever made. My advice: DON'T BUY THIS MODEL. In fact, it's put us off every buying anything with VAX on it.

    Great Product which is very easy to use. This hoover has a great variable suction levels, the top is just awesome, the cable is great and long, the recoil for the cable is very strong, the machine is light and the dirt container comes out very quickly.

    Do not buy the VAX V-091 Performance, I guarantee you, you will waste your money and will look for a replacment immediately. It has been the biggest waste of money and it now clutters up my house as it is so useless. I now use my 10 year old morphy richards which a friend of mine recently gave back to me. And, this machines only cost me £20.00!

    I think thisVAX V-091 Performance has very poor design - Regret buying this for my elderly mum - First and last Vax I or any of my family will buy. This 6 month old machine is now in the bin. Waste of money and effort.

    Good all round cleaner, build quality good. My VAX V-091 also came with a good long warranty, 5 years. Power brush attachment for carpets works well for a cylinder cleaner. Easy to clean and empty.

    The plug cord is too short, it has lost it suction after 1 month, and yes I have emptied the cylinder and checked everything else, there is a flap on one of the floor tiles (I think it is the one for pet hairs) that you can undo to get rid of the hair caught around, that has broken off, the hose is loose that connects to the other part of the hose easily comes off so as you are hoovering back and forth the hose comes off also the air vents blows baking hot air on my legs/feet whilst hoovering.

    We bought one of these as it was announced as perfect for pet hairs. Well it seems VAX have made massive design errors with this one. Firstly, why on earth is there a very basic pleated paper type filter slap bang in the centre of its dust bowl? As other reviewers have remarked - this filter very rapidly gets clogged with detritus of all sizes, (PARTICULARLY PET HAIRS!!!!!) therefore very effectively 'strangling' this 'vacuum' cleaner(?)!!!!!
    Cleaning the filter is a nightare as dust and fluff v ...

    I've got a VAX V-091 Performance, the suction power decreases after 1 or 2 uses after vacuuming an average size through lounge ! Not impressed with this item at all. You have to manually clean the central filter after each use to keep up the suction. I feel there is a major design fault in that there is no housing on the filter so absolutely everything you vacuum goes directly to the filter, big and small pieces alike. Just started using it and realised the fault have contacted vax via their web ...

    This VAX V-091 is the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever owned and I would advise buyers to look elsewhere. You will spend as long emptying/cleaning it as you will vacuuming. A very messy process and not to be undertaken if you have allergies. Another design fault is that the cable/plug is at the side rather than the back so it is awkward to move around. Suction is poor at all times other than immediately after the filter has been cleaned. It is arguable whether this model is 'fit for purpose' as ...
