There are many reasons to consider owning a hand-held mini vacuum cleaner, even though some people may wonder the point of them. If you own pets, messy children, to clean out the car, cleaning hard to reach areas with less effort... Many bonuses, as long as you pick the right one. Some cleaners are more minor dust busters, with about as much power as a gnat's breath (an asthmatic gnat, judging by the one I tried before the Vax). Others are much higher powered, including this little mean machine. ~~A bit of boring background~~~ Vax is a well known brand of vacuums and carpet cleaners. Based in Hong Kong, they've been around since the 1970s. I own ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to vacuuming up those horrible crumbs on a carpet and you have to get out the entire vacuum for a few seconds it seems a very tiresome experience, so I decided to invest in a smaller vacuum cleaner by Vax. == The Vacuum == This handheld vacuum is designed by Vax who are one of the leading manufacturers when it comes to vacuum cleaners. This vacuum is a very bright orange colour which literally takes you by surprise because it is so sharp in colour. There are grey points which highlight the tip of the vacuum such as the mouth, the filter extractor and the power button. In other words everything that is important to notice on ...  Read the complete review

**Reason for Purchase** There were a few factors which contributed to us buying this handheld cleaner, the main one being that our main vacuum cleaner had stopped working and whilst we were waiting for it to be returned to us (it was still under warranty), I couldn't stand the level of dust and cat hair that was gathering around the house. Coupled with the fact that my other half has recently had a new car which he has vowed to keep clean, and this was never going to happen when it involved dragging our vacuum cleaner onto the drive, we decided to invest in this little gadget to give us a helping hand. **Cost and Availability** The ...  Read the complete review

At home, we eat on the floor. This may seem slightly strange but it comes from my husband's culture and I think it's a little bit more fun and adventurous. The biggest issue we have is when eating meals with rice (which we almost always have) we tend to drop little bits of rice of floor and especially Summer since she started eating on the carpet with us. This is really difficult to sweep up so we decided to buy a hand-held vacuum for messy times. We bought this whilst trailing through Currys. We had a laugh and a joke about how we could do with one of these as we create so much of a mess whilst heating. Our laugh and a joke then brought us to the till. I ...  Read the complete review

With Christmas now around the corner the one thing that I could not have been without (as sad as it might sound) is my Vax Gator Handheld Vacuum cleaner. My main vacuum is a Dyson and as much as I would not be without it I do find that it is quite a heavy model and my handheld vacuum is something that is so light and more than anything so handy and quick and easy to use. The Vax Gator, model H90-GA-B was passed to me by my mum as she had brought herself a Dyson Hand held vacuum and how grateful I was for this. My mum brought this model about couple of years ago and it can still be found in electrical stores now, places such as Curry's and Comet will ...  Read the complete review
