Vax U91-P2 Power2 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Advantages: No comment
Disadvantages: See review

...The following is based on my own experience. I bought a Vax U91-P2 Power2 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner end of August 2009. It is now in the back of my cupboard collecting dust. No pun intended!!! When I first used the product, it was good - couldn't fault it. However, when I tried to use it the second time, it wouldn't pick up dust. Off I went to Curries to complain about the problem. They carried out a basic floor test, ie tried to clean a small floor area in the store to see what the fault was. After the basic test, they could see that the cleaner was not picking up dust. They said the filter was blocked hence no pick up and that the filter needed cleaning. I said, ?to save me driving all the way home, can I purchase a spare filter in store to replace the one inside the cleaner ? that way you can test it again...

Review of Vax U91-P2B Power 2

Vax 6130

Advantages: It cleans well, good suction
Disadvantages: doesn't sit on the stairs! It has bags

...slightly more high spec models, the 6130s and the 6130sx. These have the advantage of not being orange! They have variable power, a turbo brush and an upholstery-washing tool. The sx also has a special stair hose. That said SX by the way!!I did not miss a letter!! I have been content with the basic model! Vax have a comprehensive website at www.vax.co.uk which is worth a look if you are keen on one of these.There is even an area with tips on stain removal- very handy! Happy Vaxing!...

Vax U91-P3: A Simple but Efficient Cleaner

Advantages: A great cleaner with no unwanted frills.
Disadvantages: None so far.

...any other Hoover, and definitely not as noisy as our old Aqua Vac. I must say that it had excellent suction power and cleaned our carpet extremely well. So instead of having lots of tools and gismos, I felt that we had bought a quality machine that reached well into the corners. Another thing I liked about this machine was that unlike the Hoover, it would stay upright if the extension hose was used and after use it wrapped around the hose guides very neatly. Specs The machine has a 1900 watt motor, is bagless and has a dust capacity of 2.4 litres, which is quite adequate. There is a filter in the dust container that the manufacturer advises should be replaced every 12 months, which is available from Vax for around £20, but I would imagine could be found cheaper from somewhere like espares.co.uk. The machine also has...

Review of VAX U91-P3P Power 3 PET

The vax mach air is a compact, lightweight, powerful machine

Advantages: Lightweigt, compact, easy to use, low maintenance
Disadvantages: Short hose and mains lead

...The Vax Mach Air is a compact, lightweight vacuum cleaner, which makes it easy to use and to store. The suction of this machine is amazing, it left my carpets looking brighter and dealt with pet hair (two cats one long and one short hair) with no problems. The brushes can be raised to clean wooden floors, but it is so powerful it clings to lino and will not move. Bright orange controls with symbols on are easy to locate and use, once apart further instructions are on the machine so no need to scrabble around looking for the user guide. It is easy to empty and is very economical to run as there are no expensive replacement bags or filters to buy. The Mach Air comes with a 3 in 1 crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery tool fixed onto the machine by a clip; these are easily attached to a hose and/or extension tube and perform...

Vax the way to do it!

Advantages: Simple to use, inexpensive, great results
Disadvantages: Bulky, heavy machine, difficult to store neatly

...I bought my Vax 6131 back in October 2007 after my old upright vacuum cleaner finally gave up the ghost. I was searching for a new replacement upright vacuum cleaner but after stumbling across the Vax 6131 on special offer I decided a wet and dry vacuum that also shampoos carpets would be really handy, especially with a dog and cat in the house! The Vax 6131 is a cylinder or canister vacuum cleaner that as well as being used as an ordinary dry vacuum cleaner, can also suck up wet spills and shampoo your carpet. ***DRY VACUUMING*** I use my Vax 6131 mainly as an everyday, ordinary vacuum cleaner and I've found it does the job well. It comes supplied with a standard hose and vacuum head. The head has a simple switch for 'brushes down' for hard floor vacuuming and 'brushes up' for carpets. It is powered by a 1300w motor which...

Review of VAX 6131

Didn't Vaxes used to be computers?

Advantages: Well made, good at what it does
Disadvantages: large, heavy, noisy

...home once. Build quality = It is solidly built from bright orange plastic, making it eminently suitable for cleaning up on a motorway. Since our first Vax, some 15 years ago the accessories have been improved and are less liable to break. All in all I'm happy with the way it is put together. Assembly Drawbacks Removing the vacuum cleaning head can be hard, especially if it hasn't been taken off for a while. I recommend smearing the inside of the joint with a tiny amount of Vaseline. Noise level = Most vacuum cleaners are noisy, this one is a little louder than most but compensates by being a little more powerful and getting on with the job, so you don't have to run it for as long. Bags or Bagless? Unfortunately it has a bag. It is an expense but makes handling the waste...

Vax a Heavy Cleaner

Advantages: very long lead, and a big water tank
Disadvantages: heavy and bulky

...Having a 3 year old, plus 2 cats who love to leave us presents in the living room my carpet really needed a good clean. I decided to borrow my brothers Vax cleaner as it is an upright and my old vax was in the shed and I didn`t want to have to dig it out. He gave me the basic instructions on how to use it but had lost the manual so I had to figure most of it out myself! How did I clean my carpet? Basically I filled up the clean water tank with hot water,this is quite a big tank and sits in the upright part of the vax. I then added the vax solution to the solution tank which fits in underneath the clean water tank. On the handle is an on/off button a brush and soap button, to begin you need to put the soap and brush set to on then you will find a blue trigger underneath the handle keep that pressed in and press on to...

Vax - the Virtues and Vexations

Advantages: Great cleaning performance and good value
Disadvantages: Very noisy

...table comparing the various models in the range. It could be that the 060P is being replaced by the four "pet" models in the 2009 Power range. However it is still available from many online suppliers and I recently noted with some annoyance that Amazon (which still seems to offer the best online deal) has now reduced the price to £74.99. The Turboforce comparison table yielded some helpful information. In common with all the Turboforce models, the 060P is bagless with a "large 4.2 litre dust capacity", has the HEPA (High Efficient Particle Arrester) system which traps smaller dust and dirt particle and is better for allergy sufferers but, with 2000 watts, it has the highest power specification and is the only one to include an antibacterial filter. All are guaranteed for one year but there are variously priced options to extend this...
