Katherineu340's review of Vax Air 3 U88-AM-B

“Hopeless, fails in every area”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Katherineu340 on 27/09/2015

Had this for almost a year now and about to replace it with a model from a more trusted brand we should have gone with in the first place.

To start with the positives, this vacuum is very light in comparison to many on the market. Unfortunately that is really all it has going for it.

For the negatives,
The swivel design makes this very clumsy to use, as it is so lightweight it has no low centre of gravity to keep it from generally getting stuck or toppling over.
Its suction seems quite powerful in that it is great at sticking itself to the floor, however it fails at actually cleaning the floor.
The brushes have no height adjustment so whilst ok on hard flooring, with anything more than a very thin carpet they dig in and get stuck.
The hose is too short to reach most places you find yourself needing it, oh yes and the lightweight body topples over at the slightest tug when you run out of hose.
The whole thing feels cheap and plastic, the clip on the hose tends to just fall off both the main body or the attachments during use.
The bin is easy to remove for emptying but i find myself having to take it to bits to actually empty properly as the dirt/dust gets stuck on the filter or whatever it is in the middle.
