Vax ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet Dual Battery Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Motorised Pet Tool – CLSV-B4DP, Graphite/Cyan Blue

Absolutly briliant, good power very light and easy to use only criticism i could make is it could do with a larger dust container but if you don't mind frequent emptying then get one it is good on carpets and hard floors

My neighbours recommended this vacuum and even lent us theirs to try out for an evening. I was a bit apprehensive about the battery life thanks to several reviews saying it only lasted 8-10 minutes, so I opted for the package with 2 batteries - I wish I hadn't.I've just tested a fully charged battery and it lasted 20 minutes and 30 seconds before it went to 1 bar. It would have probably kept going for another couple of minutes, but it was good enough for my purposes, especially as it only took me 14 minutes to do 3 carpeted rooms, 2 rugs, and 2 rooms with laminate flooring. I spent another 6 minutes hoovering the same room to see how long it would last. This was all with the brush roller running and on standard power, which is all that's needed. I imagine if you had the boost power on it would last a lot less and maybe that's what some of the critical reviews are doing. Some specifically state not. I have no idea, I just know mine does 20 minutes easily.On standard power it picks up a lot more than our previous corded upright did. When our neighbours lent us their Vax Blade 4, I went over a room that I had just hoovered before our corded upright died and it picked up a lot that the corded upright hadn't, especially hair. I'm confident this cordless vacuum does a good job and it still has the option to boost suction further if needed, but the only time I've needed to use the boost was when cleaning the car and picking up little stones in the footwell.Downsides? Because most of the weight is at the top, the head is quite light so depending on which way the carpet lies, it doesn't always run in a straight line. You can steer it to counter this though. Then when pulling back against the lie of the carpet the head lifts or skips as you pull, but if you just go slower it stops skipping.That's it. Really happy with this vacuum and I wish we had gone cordless sooner. It's so much easier and more convenient.

A powerful vacuum that works well. It's quite heavy, however, and the mechanism for emptying the dust drum has 'alignment indicators' that actually make no sense and takes a bit of getting used to. So, on the downside it's heavier, more difficult to manoeuvre and a bit more tricky to empty than the brand leader. On the plus side it's considerably cheaper, at least as effective (if not more so) and coming with two removable rechargeable batteries (which, incidentally, fit other products from the same manufacturer), is a major plus.

Okay, this was a replacement for a product I had used for a week and a few days earlier. I had ordered a Honiture 26Kpa £147 which was a good product, I did leave a good review but sadly the battery died so I choose to add some extra and get a better product.Why VAX ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet Dual Battery? I have no pets but have historically found that pet editions of cleaning equipment a just designed better and have better features. I read reviews and watched on YouTube etc, the Blade 4 was good but the pet edition has TWO batteries for a little more cash, this is well worth the investment.So, I give the battery a charge and have a try (remember that I had been using the other vacuum twice a day every day) Well, it was like I hadn't vacuumed for months! The Vax (when on full power) digs deep and really does an excellent job. I received this product yesterday and have used it a LOT! It is still pulling dust from my carpet and its amazing to see, the first few vacuums shows all the bits and bobs, dirt and general dust, then you find that the colour is changing as this is getting all the fine dust that has been in the carpet for months, years?The Vax ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet Dual Battery is well worth the money if you want a real deep clean.Its easy to disassemble, clean and pop back together, nice and easy.Cons? Well, the battery life is very limited if you use the brush and high power. But, you have two batteries, so not awful, its okay. The roller stops in minutes so it must be really frustrating if you have only the one battery!Its quite heavy but easy to use, I would highly recommend this product but be careful, you will just become addicted to seeing the change on your vacuum contents!Stay safe my friends

I did a lot of research into cordless vacuum cleaners. I particularly wanted the same convenience that i have with my power tools that is the ability to swop out an exhausted battery. This ability alone is a game changer the 4Ah battery will easily do the whole house and if not you have backup.It is very well constructed and easy to clean once you have a play with it. The motorised brush is great on the carpet and it has good suction even without the boost, so all in all I'm glad I spent the time weeding out others.

After using the vacuum for two years I have no issue with the weight although due to its design it won't stand on its own, which can be inconvenient at times. The collector is awkward to empty.I will say that what saved this from being a two star is that it has very good suction on carpet/rugs and for light pick up on other flooring. It does not handle anything much larger than dust very well such as cat litter, it really struggles to pick these up. The anti wrap does not work and one of the two batteries has failed, it refuses to charge. I will personally not buy a Vax again.

I enjoy using this. It is light but powerful. It needs to be taken apart each time for a clean before putting away. It gets clogged up easily otherwise. Very nicely designed and it is NOT fiddly after practice and getting used to it. (Pull out the entire filter to remove stubborn dog hairs and carpet fibres a 30 second job after the hoovering). You will need to empty often. I like it from the start but thought it was too cheap and therefore would be rubbish. BUT I was so wrong as it is a gem. 10/10. Better value than a Dyson and then some!
