    Good Points: Lots of power, very good cleaning.


    Bad Points: Needs maintaining, regular hose cleaning and fresh parts "belt and filter once a year" Better to do this than throw it away, our land fills are already full!


    General comments: I agree with many of the comments made here, however the Vax V006U cleaner does need looking after, we've had one for 3 years and the power is second to none, however there is a floor in the design. The hose is bent too tightly at the bottom of the cleaner so it gets clogged! I can't understand when people say it's messy to empty and puts the dust back into the air. Have they ever heard of emptying it directly into the wheely bin "outside". We also had a Dyson and this keeps cutting out after 5 mins of use, so the VAX is much better.

    I have been using this Vax V006U model for the last 18 months - within the first week I felt I had made a huge mistake in buying it. It was obviously picking up something from deep in the carpet pile as the cylinder quickly filled but it has never been able to pick up fluff on the surface of the carpets no matter which setting I used for the brush height so the carpets never look as though they have been vacuumed unless I go over them again with the nozzle and attack every particle one by one. ...

    Build quality of this Vax V006U doesn't seem to be able to cope with the demands of a family home with dogs. The filter replacement costs over 25% of original cost and it is very heavy.

    I bought the VS006U about 6 months ago as a upgrade to my dated hitachi, i wish i hadnt of bothered. The vax worked well to start with but its such a hassle to empty with dust going everywhere and it gets full so easy i can only manage to clean two rooms at a time before i have to empty it. The worst thing about it is the hose, its broken already. The plastic at the end has come off. The attachment to clean the stairs worked well to begin with but then got clogged up stopping the brissles fr ...

    We got given this vac, and to be honest i wouldn't buy one my self. The suction is rubbish especially from the hose, its heavy and noisy and emptying it is like hell- dust goes everywhere. Do not buy a Vax or any bagless vacuum, yes they might be free to maintain, but they do not do their job properly.

    This is my first (and last) bagless vacuum cleaner
    It does perform well in some ways but it is heavy and best for large floor areas
    The long cord does allow you to go right up the stairs and the supplied turbo brush head is very good
    You can see when it is full but emptying it puts more dust back in the air - I wish I had stuck with a bagged cleaner so I could just throw the bag away
    The filter is just a concertina effort that clogs up very easily and you need to clean it almost every time y ...
