VAX Blade Cordless vacuum cleaner

Top features and highlights

The VAX Blade cordless vacuum cleaner comes with a unique set of features.

For starters, this cordless vacuum cleaner is powered by a 32V Lithium battery which gives the vacuum cleaner a powerful 45 minute runtime.

The blade of this vacuum cleaner was made using VAX’S Direct Helix Technology. As a result, the vacuum cleaner is able to provide a direct air path from the floor to the cyclone chamber within the vacuum cleaner.

Sounds fancy, eh? So what does this actually mean?

This feature enables the vacuum cleaner to achieve an improved, more powerful suction and still remain power-efficient.

However, one of the features that really stands out on this vacuum cleaner is the VAX Smart Control dial.

This is a feature which allows you to monitor the vacuum’s battery life. This smart control dial also comes with a boost mode which can be used to increase the suction power of the vacuum as required.

Another great feature of this vacuum cleaner is its lightweight design which makes maneuvering the hoover much easier. This vacuum cleaner weighs 4.8kg.

Cordless pro kit

A nice addition to the VAX cordless vacuum cleaner is the cordless pro kit which is sold alongside the vacuum cleaner.

The tools which come in the cordless pro kit are exclusively designed to enhance the performance of the vacuum. This cordless pro kit contains a large variety of handy tools such as:

• Stretch hose
• Textile tool
• Crevice tool
• Tough dirt tool
• Dust brush

Each of these tools are perfectly designed to fit the VAX vacuum cleaner’s blade range. Unfortunately, the only downside to these tools is that they DO NOT fit the VAX slim VAC range.

What are People Saying…?

Generally, the VAX Blade cordless vacuum cleaner has received a lot of positive reviews from its customers. check out what this Amazon buyer had to say about this vacuum cleaner:

“This vacuum is probably the best I’ve ever used corded or otherwise, sadly though 1 year in the rotating brush bar stopped working but Amazon being great as they are sent me a replacement next day and collected the broken one.
This vacuum sucks far stronger than any Dyson model I have used and keeps going for 45mins on max suction. I have trouble walking due to a bad back and this machine is so light I can do my 3 bed semi detached house in 15-20mins and that’s being thorough!”

What’s the Downside…?

On the other hand, this vacuum cleaner has a few disadvantages. this what one Amazon buyer had to say:

“Terrible hoover doesn’t have enough suction power and when I called they told me I had to buy a new filter every six weeks which is very expensive, even when I got the filter the hoover was still doing it.”

So overall it does sound like there could be a couple of issues but that the vacuum is more powerful than the likes of a Dyson.

And if things do go wrong, there will be the support you need to get it sorted, which seems fair enough really, as things can go wrong from time to time.

Alternatives to the Vax Vacuum

The vacuum market is very competitive at the moment, with numerous big players like Dyson and GTech.

I’ve previously reviewed multiple GTech vacuums, and the ones that stand out as alternatives to this Vax model are the GTech Pro and the GTech Power Floor.

There are also the K9 versions of both the Pro and Power Floor, which have been upgraded to handle pet hair and include a pet hair attachment brush.

The Dyson V8 Animal is also a good option which is around the same price, maybe just a touch more expensive.

Is it Suitable for You..?

This vacuum cleaner is designed for convenience and efficiency. Because of its lightweight design, it can even be used by the elderly without causing much physical exertion.

Moreover, its cordless design makes it the perfect machine for people who wanted to clean their homes quickly. The 45 minute battery ensures that the user will not have to keep recharging the vacuum when in use.

The bottom line…

The VAX Blade Cordless vacuum cleaner is a handy gadget to have for your home.
