VAX 1700 WATT V006

too heavy, doesnt pick up , bit fall off or break

This upright hoover is rubbish, ALL the parts are cheap and flimsy, wont pick up dog hairs and it took me 45 mins to hoover a small room,which is carpeted, you can imagine how long it took me to hoover my bungalow,it falls over very easy and and keeps cutting out and you cant switch it on for 30 mins.I WILL NEVER BUY ANY VAX PRODUCT AGAIN.IT WEIGHS A TON AS WELL SO TO SAY ITS LIGHT WEIGHT IS A JOKE

This Hoover smells like its burning then stops working for about 30 mins!

The tools are rubbish and don't pick up pet hair

The Hoover falls over when using the attachments! Caused a chipped bone in my foot!

I will NEVER buy Vax again

do not pick up pet hair..or anything basically. got it about 3 years ago, turbo tool stopped working after a month. main component pick up ok on bare floor, not so good on carpets. you basically end up picking most of it by hand. Just finished hoovering my bedroom 4/3 square metres and took me 45 minutes. Very frustrating taking it's awfully heavy!

i'll definitely stick with some other brand in future.

Can't remember which model it was as I thrown it! It's was a vacuum cleaner with the pet hair thing. Very powerful at start and was quite impressed. But quickly lost power, height setting broke very quickly as plastic parts are cheap and flimsy. My sons toys are better quality. Kept cutting out after hoovering one room. Power button broke and went into machine and then started smoking and now won't work. Couldn't use it to do stairs as too heavy and unstable. Would never ever buy any of thier products again, will buy a Dyson, though more expansive will last longer than vax. Decided to take a hammer to it before throwing it away as I felt robbed of the money i paid for it. Would understand if i lived in a mansion but a live in a two bed flat. Awful awful awful

I have owned my vax turboforce since 2007(nearly 5 years) and it has been great I had to replace a belt on it for the first time last year and now the bearing has gone in the brushbar a new one will cost me £15 but worth it as the vacuum is still going strong I agree with other comments about this hoover it is heavy and very noisy but it keeps my house clean all in all a good product from vax

Vax 1700 watt

Cable gets in the way

Difficult to use on the stairs

Noisy

Only works well on floorboard setting

Thermal cut out has a problem and the cleaner has now broken after 18 months as a result of this. It now cuts out after 5 minutes and stays off for 30 minutes.

On the positive side, it is powerful and Vax has an efficient customer service but of course, it has they say now past it's guarantee by 6 months so tough.

My Hoover Senior lasted 25 years with one repair(brushes for the motor which I replaced myself) so I guess Vax is using cheap components. Buyer beware

This vacuum cleaner is rubbish. It doesn,t lift unless your on the lowest setting and then you get the smell of burning rubber.I only use it for the stairs as it lifts ok using the tools. BUY ANOTHER CLEANER, NOT THIS ONE.

Awful. Sucks nothing up, keeps cutting out. Have complained to Vax but am still waiting on a reply.

Will never buy a vax product again.

There is nothing positive about this product except I managed to purchase it from the shop across the road, so I didn't have far to carry it. However, I am not able to return it there as the sticker on the top of it informs me. The fact that Vax have put a sticker on each of their products instructing customers to "not take it back to the shop" would suggest they are used to their products being returned.

Awful waste of time efort and money.

Rubish customer service too.

Would give the product zero stars but am unable to do so.

The worst vacuum I have ever had. It is very heavy and the turbo tool has never lived up to its expectations as it blocks very quickly after only vacuuming the mat which the pets lie on, and yet it is supposed to be excellent for pet hair. Also the hose does not stretch very far on stairs like it stated it would in the sales jargon.
