Advantages: Easy to operate Disadvantages: No oomph to get the job done
I had been looking for a handheld vacuum for some time, but wanted one that would look good in my home. I came across the Vax Kone which looks fantastic - it really complements my minimalist style & looks great stood in my hallway. I thought that if I bought a handheld vac that could be left on display, then I would be more likely to use it! But, alas no, it still doesn't get used much....unfortunately the power is very low. The vacuum lasts for all of 30 seconds before dying (& this is fully charged!). I find it difficult to pick up larger crumbs etc - it just doesn't have the oomph to do so. On the plus side, it is easy to pop back in the charger & is easy to empty (& can hold a fair bit of dust & dirt). There is a light in the base which can be turned on/off independantly, which is good because at least it has some use! Overall, if ...
Advantages: It cleans well, good suction Disadvantages: doesn't sit on the stairs! It has bags
I am sure that most of you are familiar with the bright orange, get your sunglasses out, Vax carpet cleaning system. I am now on my second one having bought my first when they were the state of the art vacuum cleaner and launched into the shops some twenty years ago.
Now, don?t get me wrong, I am not an obsessive cleaner, but we currently own three hoovers. Interestingly, none of them are actually made by Hoover!
When we moved here my Vax gave up the ghost after years of sterling service. It was with a sense of sadness that I hurled it into the huge skip at the council tip! I then bought a Dyson upright cleaner. I do generally prefer an upright cleaner- much easier on the old back!
The Dyson has been, for the most part great. I won?t tell you about that though, as this is a review on my Vax. I do however have an Electrolux upright ...

hello there i brought my vax 6131 last year, i just use it to clean my carpets, i will use it as my hover when the other one breaks down. It cost me £149.99.
The vax cleans spills, sucks up water etc, washes carpaets, and hovers, so all in all a good all rounder.
I find the machine very noisey when cleaning and sucking up spills, although overall it performs quite well, and has very got suction
The only problem i have is it won't remove the tea stain i have on my lounge carpet, which is a bit of a bum, apart from that it cleans pretty well.
It comes with removable cleanable filters, separate removable inner piece for hovering and one for washing. Also two diffrent hose/ nozzle attachments, one for wet, one for dry hovering and all the other extra nozzles you get with a normal hover ( dust bags must be fitted when hovering ).
Also i ...
