I purchased this vacuum cleaner almost 3 years ago for just under £100 from Argos.
Overall, it has been very good ... for the price. I did want a Dyson, but just couldn't justify the expense.
The Vax was easy to assemble and worked straight away. It has amazing sucking power. I own 2 large dogs and I have been very impressed at how effectively it picks up their hairs. The range of on board tools is excellent and means it crosses over slightly into the cylinder market in that it makes stair/ furniture/ curtain cleaning relatively easy too.
On the downside, it is very noisy (one of my dog always howls when I use it, whereas the other runs to get out of the way!) I have also had to replace the filter and belt (after 2 years though). Emptying the contents is also a very messy business!
The turbo tool has now stopped working, so I have decided to treat myself to a new cleaner. I've opted for a Henry Extra, although I have still to receive and try that out!
Good start to your review although some more info would make your review more useful. If you add more to your review at some point let me know and ill reread and rerate for you x
