“VAX Ripped Holes In My Carpet”

Written on: 14/05/2012

I had a great VAX machine that developed a fault at the very end of the warranty period, they sent me a replacement of a different machine. The new machine has ripped holes in my carpet all over the house, it had been building up and I hadn't noticed. They told me as it's out of warranty they will do nothing. They told me even if it had been in warranty they would have done nothing. They told me the damage was caused by not having it on the correct setting when I was using the... (read more)

First, it picks up pet hair. In that respect it ticks all the boxes for me.
I'm having a few problems with it picking up bits of cat litter on hard floors (been put down outside as grit on snow and has been walked in to house) but this isn't likely to happen often (I hope!)
VERY easy to empty 9as opposed to a Dyson Animal, which I found really awkward)
Makes a carpet look great. The turbo tool on the hose is extremely powerful, makes cleaning stairs very fast work.
I had to call customer... (read more)

“This is basically my sisters review, she bought this...”

Written on: 10/07/2010 by Freeky (38 reviews written)

This is basically my sisters review, she bought this Vax upright having borrowed my Vax VZL 702U (see my separate review) which she was impressed with, but wanted a upright as opposed to a cylinder cleaner.

On arrival a small amount of assembly is required which is quite easy, its not immediately obvious where some of the tools should fit, but reading the instructions resolves that. The hoover is of a silver plastic & build quality is OK but could be better, i.e. clearly made to a price, if... (read more)

I would now downgrade my score if I could, after just over 2 years use, parts started to break off and now it has packed up all-together, so very poor for durability. Also annoying as the guarantee is 2 years & it all went wrong just after that expired!

So the U90-P4-P is not recommended anymore, though the VZL 702U, is still working great after 6 years use.

If I could I would reduce the score to two stars, as it hasn't lasted!

After only 2 years use the Vax U90-P4-P just packed up, now just gathers dust rather than picking any up!!
