VAX Mach 5 Pet U90-M5

Watching the delivery man carrying the parcel containing this Vax machine down my drive and seeing his knees buckle, I was pre-warned that this wasn’t going to be any lightweight and I wasn’t wrong. Assembly didn’t present any major problems, despite the fact that I like to read the instructions and my husband, who was in charge, does the man thing and totally ignores them, which necessitated me pointing out the error of his ways once or twice . Once out of the box the machine comes in three main components, base, dust collection housing and handle. A few twirls with the screwdriver and ... more

I have just recently got this model. Got to say when I opened the box and saw all the pieces to be put together I was a bit daunted. However after I got them out and had a look at the instruction book it was all quite clear and had it assembled in less than 20 minutes. It has plenty of tools and the extension tubes allow them to get into the more difficult places. I especially like the Turbo tool, lets you get into those hard to reach places with little loss of power. I was able to do all 10 stairs with the extension with the Vax just at the bottom with ease and no sign of machine falling or ... more

I got the Vax Mach 5 Pet about 2 weeks ago and was surprised at how much smaller it is than it looks from either the picture on the vax website or size of the box. It is not a small cleaner, but neither is it the large one I was expecting. It is fairly easy to assemble, but you do need a philips screwdriver for the 3 screws attaching the main unit to the base. The instructions were great, plenty of pictures and easy to understand, unlike some others where it almost seems an afterthought to put them in. Once asembled I found it to be fantastic at picking up all the dirt, especially the dirt I ... more

When I took this machine out of the box I was very impressed. It took a few minutes to put it togetrher using the instruction book and I was ready to go. I have 4 dogs and have tried many pet hoovers and was dissapointed with them, but this proffesional looking machine surprised me straight away. The vax is easy to use and it is very easy to go to carpet from hard floors. The turbo brush is excellent on upholstery, and stairs. The long hose is clear so you can see what is going on and I was amazed at the fur I saw going around the easy to empty compartment.The crevice tool is great at getting ... more
