Vax 1-1-142312 ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Motorised Pet Tool – CLSV-B4KP, Graphite/Cyan Blue

Really impressed with this Vax, very powerful but quiet and on carpets it drags you along as it is keen to vacuum everything in sight and with very bright LED's it doesn't want to miss a thing. It seems to pick up a lot more than my old stick vaccuum but it could be because it is newer with a newer brush but you can feel the suction seems much better. A couple of things to note. It does seem to take a long time to charge the battery but it does last a long time so they equal each other out. The other thing is that it being so good vaccuming it could have done with a bigger waste bin. That said it is so easy to empty it and more importantly to reinsert it, unlike my last one where you had to fight it ino the ground to get the thing on. Overall very impressed so impressed in fact that I have ordered another one to keep downstairs.

Wow this hoover is amazing it's so powerful it's easy to esemple and charge I love the fact it has a light on it as well easy to clean I highly recommend to others buyers you Will not be disappointed

This is a superb vacuum cleaner. I decided to read as many reviews on it as I could. Nearly all of them were very favourable with ample justification. I couldn't find out from the product description what the voltage was. When I did discover that it was 18 volts I admit that I was a bit disappointed as I thought that it would not be powerful enough. But my confidence was very quickly fully restored when I started using it. It is, in fact, very powerful in spite of it's relatively low voltage. The suction power is terrific and the battery life is excellent. It is so effective that I have rarely needed to use the booster mode. If that is used then the battery does naturally run out of power rapidly. But normal power is usually ample and really good. It is light and easy to use. The dust box is very easy to empty and clean. All in all I think this is probably the best vacuum cleaner that I've ever owned in just about every respect.

The 3 suction settings are terrific especially if you have pet hairs and dust and mud being brought in by them or people, or blown in from open doors and windows. It really is amazing. The main cleaning brush head swivels beautifully to sweep edges in front of, for example, kitchen units, dressers and cupboards. The brush in the cleaning head is easy to remove but because it has a screw thing you undo instead of screws as in earlier models. You do need very strong nails, a broad screwdriver or small coin to remove it. The battery lasts well. What disappointed me was the weight, the size of the collection box and the lack of full instructions for assembly and accessing the filter for cleaning. All very well having to download copious pages from the internet but a proper instruction book as well as the short quick set up leaflet would be an asset. Customer Services have said they will post one to me but it has not come yet. The size of the collection box has to be limited to fit the cleaner but it needs frequent emptying if pet hairs are a problem, especially during moults. It is much heavier than I expected because of the weight of the handle/control unit and battery. I am right-handed and have arthritis in my right shoulder and spine, which it aggravated, but I find if I support it with my left hand on the stick it alleviates the backache and helps the shoulder. I certainly wouldn't be able to lift it to clean curtains or high corners of a room. Overall, despite these drawbacks, it is an excellent tool and I am glad bought it. I just do one room at a time with a breather in between. There's always a way round. So despite my criticisms I highly recommend it especially for people without joint problems.

Turned it on with the main head and initially wasn't impressed at all, seemed like a cheap knockoff. No suction at all, but then turned the turbo on and thought, OK, this is actually alright, however it wasn't picking up bits of fluff and thread, then discovered the motor button and bang. It picked everything up. I used my old hoover in the lounge and stairs only yesterday, so it was clean, but I went over them again with this and the collection bucket was FULL. I mean full. How was all this in my carpet? I couldn't see it. And I only hoovered (with a Henry Hoover) yesterday. So, yep, super impressed, however... all this performance comes at a cost. That cost is the battery. You turn it on turbo and the head motors on and the power level immediately drops a bar. You've got about 8 minutes to vacuum, because that's how long the so called 45 minute battery lasts when it's running balls to the wall. Should have got the 2 battery version as you need it to do more than 2 rooms. And it takes about 4 hours to charge the battery. The accessories are fine, however the pet tool needs to be used at an awkward angle to lie flat, but I suppose that depends on your height. I tried using it without the pole on the stairs and it was impossible. Its fine with the pole on a flat surface, or going down the stairs, but you can't use it going up. Awkward on a sofa too. Very impressed with the power, Design, and price (I paid 129), the battery is woeful, and that pet tool is a bit awkward. Do I regret buying it, definitely not. Would I go back to a Henry? Never. Could it be improved on? A little bit, but nothing I can't live with.
