“Vax U89-MAF2-R Air Force 2 Reach Multi Cyclonic Bagless”

This vacuum cleaner literally took seconds to put together. It was very easy to assemble, you slot the handle into the top, untie the power cable and I was ready to vacuum. As I’m quite tall I was pleased the handle height could be adjusted which took no time at all.
To switch the vacuum on the on/off button is on the top which I found much easier, I’m not great and have broken foot on/off buttons before so this was a better design in my eyes. To get going you put your foot on front of the vacuum and by tilting the handle backwards you’re in perfect vacuum mode. There is a brush bar on the front too which is designed for carpets or hard floors it’s operated easily by pushing a button on the top. There is a small green light near the brush bar, if this turns red it tells you that the brush bar is clogged up and you need to look at it. The instructions are clear and you even get pictures.
The first thing I noticed whilst pushing it was that it felt heavier than my normal vacuum cleaner. This is because it has a large capacity dust container, holding 3L. However it’s not too heavy that I couldn’t manoeuvre around easily. It was also great to have the 3L capacity as it meant I could vacuum the whole house without emptying it until the end.
I love the fact that this Vax uses multicylonic technology which separates the dirt from the air path, it ensures that the dirt and dust collect in the bag and not in the filters so they don’t get blocked. As an allergy sufferer I specifically chose this as it has HEPA filters and has an antibacterial action which helps reduce pet related allergens.
This vacuum has the most powerful suction of any vacuum I’ve ever used or owned. I thought my carpets and wood floor were clean but after using it I was shocked at the amount of dust, dirt and pet hair which came from my carpets and floors. The quality of vacuum on my carpets with the brush bar on was immediately noticeable too. I also managed to vacuum my living room and then right through to my hall as the power leads is10m long!
The Vax comes onboard 3 in 1 too which can be attached to the hose or telescopic extension tube. To get the hose extension out you need to unplug it from one end of the vacuum and pull out the handle and attach it to the hose and then attach whatever tool you want to use.

I would recommend this vaccum, the suction and large dust container is just excellent plus I can honestly say my carpets and floors are definitely clean now!
