Advantages: Great cleaning performance and good value Disadvantages: Very noisy
...I noticed that the name Vax Turboforce Pet kept cropping up as an alternative. The few reviews I found delivered mixed opinions but all recommended its pet hair raising abilities! When I eventually arrived in Amazon land and found a new machine available for next day delivery for just £97.99 (including post and packing with Amazon Prime), it was an offer I couldn't refuse and a few clicks sealed the deal.
Vax was not a name which would have sprung ... ...for domestic use. The first Vax was launched in 1979 and sold door to door but from 1982 they were made available in retail units.

Quick review of VAX V-060P Turboforce PET
I was previously the owner of a £300 piece of junk from Dyson, which claimed all and delivered little. The Vax Turboforce Pet was a fraction of the cost of the Dyson, and delivers the most outstanding cleaning results I've ever had from a vacuum cleaner! Leaves my carpets and rugs looking like new again, lifting every speck of dust and cat hair with it's powerful 2000w suction, cleaning them to within an inch of their life, and fluffing them back up.

About a month after that it happened again!! The manufacturer repaired it this time. This is a very noisy and heavy cleaner, but it is a mighty powerful cleaner, which is why it was given a third chance!! The Gizmo on the front for the stairs is good, but it does clog up. ...
