VAX V-091 Performance

This is probably the worst vacuum cleaner you could buy. It overheats so much it might be good for heating your lunch. That's why I gave it one star, for versatility.

The tube is always broken and makes you suspect it is blocked. Never buy this machine it is worse than useless .

The design is nice but the machine is HEAVY and when I say it sucks , it doesn't if you know what I mean.

hose breaks easily, hose ends not available as a spare part,does follow when being used all in all after having a vax cylinder for twenty years, this is a disapointment

Horrible product! Worst problems- plastic bits keep breaking off. I have replaced the hose once and now the dust container won't come out because the plastic clip that locks it in place is broken off. Vacuum is now useless.

Very messy job to clean the filter. I usually tap it against the step outside and clouds of dust fly in your face. I bought it because the idea of saving money on vacuum bags appealed to me - never again!

I think the position of the retractable power cord is a design fault. When pulling the vacuum cleaner, the cord always gets under the wheel and so you end up dragging it instead of wheeling it smoothly behind you. Also the cord is to short. You can't vacuum in another room without unplugging and relocating the power cord.

This machine is destined for the tip! Have persevered with it for more than a year. Now fed up with emptying the fiddly dust container every five minutes and dealing with a filter that has been specifically designed to clog up and to take at least an hour to clean. This machine is incapable of actually cleaning anything efficiently and even struggles with a cobweb! Don't do what I did and buy it because it is a Vax - read the reviews first, then avoid it like the plague. It will drive you insane.

Absolutely rubbish. Had problems with it since we bought it. Hardly picks up dirt, filters have to be cleaned every time I use it and even then the cleaning power doesn't improve. has a 5 year guarantee, but apparently that doesn't mean much because I'm having a war with them just to get them to check the machine.

According to their customer services, this is their best machine, and apparently they have no problems with it from customers! would hate to see their worst machine if this is their best

the claener is very good, the only problem is the hose clips break easily and you can't replace them, resulting in having to buy a hose at over £20 per time to replace a small plastic clip. have spoken to Vax about it, they don't want to know

A very cumbersome cleaner that has hardly any suction for a 2400 motor when you put normal brushes on to it the only way it picks up is when you use tube attachment My one has just packed in 2 after the year guarantee has run out. It is also extremely heavy

WHY DON'T WE ALL COMPLAIN TO THE CONSUMER DIRECT OR TRADING STANDARDS ABOUT THIS ITEM, MAYBE VAX WOULD WAKE UP.

(BETTER STILL LEARN TO READ THE REVIEWS ON THIS SITE BEFORE MAKING A BUY. THERE IS PLENTY OF WARNING HERE AT THE REVIEWCENTRE.)

Vax Must Be The Worst And Uncaring Company In This Kind Of Product.

Returned Mine To Vax, Which Was Returned To Me In A Worse State.

Put It In The Attic And Left It There.

This is the worse vacuum ever, the first time I used it was great but from then on has got worse, it takes twice as long to vacuum a room (I should have kept with Henry) its useless, heavy, gets hot, has to be emptied regularly to keep any suction up. I am now looking for a new vacuum even though this is only two years old.
