Vax CLSV-B3KS OnePWR Blade 3 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, Graphite

Best suction power I've ever experienced on a typical lightweight uprigjt, and the illumination is very helpful. Not possible to use as a plug in and the battery only just lasts long enough to do much 1 bedroom fully carpeted apartment before it needs a recharge. But it does give you plenty of warning as battery depletes..

Adequate power for general domestic use. Cordless is convenient. Tiny capacity is not. Hair tangles the head badly. Two batteries have failed and the manufacturer has been very good at replacing them, the second time with a higher Ah rating. Overall, nice for a small flat, where cordless does not matter, but not the one you need for the whole house.

Works very well. Quite top heavy but I have found these style of vacuums are by default.The variable suction and switchable brush features work well. Battery life is comparable with similar products.Easily cleans as well as our Dyson DC07 but is obviously much quicker to grab more convenient to use.I did try an amazonbasics vacuum before this and returned it due to concerns about the longevity due to loose fitting parts etc. By comparison the Vax Blade3 seems very well made, parts and attachments fit snugly and positively.The only tiny niggle is removing the battery to charge but it only takes seconds and is far outweighed by the quality and performance.Would definitely recommend if you are after a well made cordless vac.

I bought three of these and each one has had a problem with the battery. Each battery has had to be replaced. It’s a huge coincidence that every single battery fails to charge.Vax charge £70 for a new battery so buy elsewhere if you want to have a working hoover without the added costs of getting new batteries.

When I first purchased this hoover it’s was great but after about 3 months it was horrific and the Motion to turn the hair collecting roller packed up. I then tried to email and get in touch with vax as this was under warranty I’ve still had no replies to my calls or emails. If you want a decent upright cordless hoover then go to shark. I was absolutely gutted after a few months no motion to spin, suction power now as good and battery not lasting long as I have to now use full power to do light hoovering. Please do not buy if you want it to last.

I was thinking of buying a dyson for a while and I just couldn't justify spending £400+...I had a shop around and come across this great looking cheaper alternative. I thought I would give it a go and I'm so glad I did. This is a great handheld vacuum cleaner. I'm so pleased with the performance and suction power. On high setting, it even pulls flattened carpets up!!I've used dyson handheld at work and I definitely prefer the Vax - Top quality product.The battery life isn't too bad, it's practical for what I need atleast. The battery does charge pretty quick so it's not big of a deal.

So it is really well made and sucks like a sucker fish, to work well it has to be well made with good quality components so that means it is not lightweight but far lighter than plug in models I have owned, easy to move to about the house. As for stairs most vacuums are tricky but this is better than most I have used in the past. I have just missed out on the free tool set which might have been better for stairs. Yes save up and buy one.

For this money expected a much more well-built structure and stronger suction. My fault from a part that I expected some functions that do not exist because I did not read through the whole description, only looked at images and customer reviews.Positive part: - I can fit in tight areas between wall and bed for example- It does clean carpet nicely though- I can suck with thin tube ending along the wall and carpet meeting properly- Filter and dirt container is easy to clean- cordless- lightweight- wide flat head turns very smooth and easily- battery although run low quick, performance did not changeNegative parts:- long tube is not adjustable in length- part connections feel flimsy, especially the thing long tube ending- needed to use the second level of suction as first did not feel strong enough (perhaps good on solid floor and not carpet)- because of that battery ran low in just a few minutes already, although I charged it long enough.- the wide flat head with the rotatory brush in it is a pain in the... to clean. I never had a hoover with this before so I didn't know how it's gonna work for me - I would not recommend for an allergic person, as I spent at least 15 minutes to cut off all the hair that got stuck on the brush and bar as I just did not figure out another way to clean it and I do clean my hoover after every use so it wasn't even that much stuff on it.- and there is this "lock" key on the side of the head of the rotatory brush head, which indicates that I can lock and unlock the brush movement (?) I did not manage to try it as it is made out of plastic and I have not received any tool for this purpose to rotate it, and when I tried with something metal I have and was a similar size, plastic started to bend and change the shape of course so I stopped.- soft rounded brush is I guess for smooth delicate surfaces, which I am not used to - previous hoovers had thick and strong brushes so I could clean the carpet with it, but I guess now I have the rotatory head for that purposeOverall it did the job, it was the first time I used, so I will update later if any radical change would happen.I expected a better feel and quality for this money. I purchased a similar hoover about 2 years ago for only 60 Pounds and, that was not as effective as this one, but quality-wise, the way it feels in my hand they are very similar but in price. I guess its the suction I pay for, which is a good point though but it would be nice to have in my hands something that doesn't feel like it can fall apart. So I feel it a bit pricy, but if it will last for long, then it did worth, I will see.
