The Vax gator has to be one of the best handheld hoovers around at the moment. The hoover is cordless so you don't have to worry about tripping over wires etc. The gator is nice and compact so is easy to store and only weighs 1.2kg so is easy to carry around.

The gator is easy to charge there is a plug that comes with it you just fix the wire into the side of it, and they recommend you charge it for about 24 hours. The only negative thing is after all the charging when hoovering it's only powerful for about 6 minutes which is a shame.
One thing I like about the hoover is how easy it is to empty. The hoover is bagless so once it's full which you can tell by it not picking up as well, you just press the button and the bottom part of the hoover unfits. Then you just tip all the bits of rubbish in the bin and make sure the filter is clean. Then fit it back on again and it's ready to go again so very simple.

Since getting the gator I have used it quite alot it is ideal for using to pick up crumbs etc after mealtimes. I have two 4 year olds and there always making a mess so instead of having to get a big hoover out to do a small amount of hoovering this hoover is prefect. My daughters have also been using the hoover as it is so simple to use so I have been getting some help round the house :). I have also found the hoover is ideal to use when we are cleaning out the car as it fits under the car seats and picks up well, being cordless makes cleaning the car such an easier task.
So overall I would definitely recommend.
