Advantages: good suction and pick up,ease of emptying

Disadvantages: heavy

I too was prejudiced about vax vacuums. Large orange cumbersome machines or so i thought!

I was also seduced by the half price offer i paid £69 at argos.

I figured if it was designed to pick up pet hair it would probably have excellent suction i wasn't disappointed the carpet nearly disappeared the first time i turned it on.

we don't have pets but i find that most vacuums lose suction even a short while after emptying not the case with this one though as it somehow pulls all the debris to the top of the dust collecter and away from the central filter

Emptying is so easy just hold over your dustbin or in our case compost bin press a button and all the muck falls out the bottom!! The only thing bad thing i would say about it is that it's quite heavy so probably not a good idea for the elderly.

It also came with lots of attachments including a special one for laminate flooring which essentially turns it into a broom with suction, also an upholstery tool which has a revolving brush and is fantastic for stairs as well as the usual crevice tool and brush

The unit has an adjustable handle and a long hose which suits me as i am quite tall.

Overall really pleased and i think the price was great

Summary: Great value for money
