5.0 out of 5 stars excellent cleaning
Have just bought this vacuum cleaner and have found it excellent. I have two dogs so my cleaner works very hard, but this Vax copes very well. I also find that the controls are in a much better position, on the handle (my last cleaner had controls at floor level) so,as I have arthritis,these are so much easier to use. Excellent value for money and very manouverable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreadful Customer Service
Bought this cleaner 2 weeks ago, assembled it and started to use it. Brush bars stopped rotating. Phoned VAX who arranged to have it collected for repairs with a promise of it being returned within 7 days.
After 7 days and no return of cleaner, I phoned to ask where it was - I was told that it was in the system and I would have to wait, when I asked how long, I was...

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy one!, 7 May 2009
By Flash72UK (Sussex UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
After complaints that the old Dyson was no longer up to the job I was reluctant to shell out a couple of hundred £s to replace it and, after much research, went for this item from 247electrical (via Amazon). Great design, not light in weight (but neither was the Dyson) but a very powerful performer. A couple of attachments (which are more than enough - how often do you lose yours?!) and simple to change operations. Funky light on the front for nocturnal suction activities...
Easily competes well with Dyson for a third of the price. 'Nuff said.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for carpets and hard wood floors., 12 May 2009
By Marcia Williamson (Shetland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
Swift delivery on this product.

Very pleased with this vacuum cleaner.
I did not find it hard to put together, nor do I find it heavy to use.
Only down side is the length of the cable - I find I need to change the plug to another socket when doing some of the larger rooms, but altogether I am very happy with this purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good little sucker!, 9 July 2009
By David Kinrade "David" (Milton Keynes) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
I picked this Vax model after reading lots of reviews,and wanting a change from Dyson as my 4th one of those has just died. Overall the Vax is very good with a couple of minor issues. Firstly the hose is too short to do all of the stairs from the bottom, secondly although it looks huge and measures over 30cm high,the waste collection bin is actually tiny as the max fill level is less than 7cm from the bottom and you will fill it very very quickly because the suction is brilliant. in fact it is a little too good for my sons bedroom rug which is quite thin an as a result needs weighing down with some willing volunteers otherwise it gets eaten! On proper carpets and good quality rugs it really great and on wooden floors a flick of the switch on the handle turns off the brush which stops stuff being blown away before you can suck it up. Although a larger bin would have been nice I wouldn't let it put you off buying one as the way you empty it is very quick clean and easy. Overall a good little sucker.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best upright to buy!, 19 Jun 2009
By Mrs. S. Samways "Shells" (Porstmouth, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
I have had upright cleaners in the past but i have always taken them back as most say that they are for hard floors but just chuck the mess straight out of the back. With this hoover you can turn the brush off when using it on hard floors thus solving the problem. It also has a long telescopic tube for stairs and hard to reach places and is very easy to empty. Very impressed for the price!

4.0 out of 5 stars just the job, 16 May 2009
By Mr. M. W. Simpson (Liverpool) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
Completely satisfied with this machine. Suction is good, right up to edges. It cleans very well indeed. The only criticism I'd have is that the accessories do not fit properly in the slot designed for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wedge, 3 Feb 2009
By Wedge (Shropshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
Having used a bagless cleaner at her mates missus said she'd never want one. Old cleaner packed in so decided I'd buy one for her to try when I saw this on Amazon at a good price. Bit dubious because only one review. No need as it is brilliant. Bought V125 carpet cleaner at same time. Another 5 star product.

By Nick (Hampsire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
Thrilled with this product. It cleans really well, has good suction and is easy to clean. Much better and easier to use than a Dyson. Is reasonably light and has quite a long hose for cleaning the stairs. I'd definitely buy another Vax product.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think this is an upgrade but similar to my VX1, 2 Aug 2008
By Mrs. G. Beale (Berkshire England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
I have had a VX1 for 4yrs now, I think this model must have superseded it, but it seems very similar. I love my Vax, it is thorough, rarely blocks up, if it ever does it is simplicity itself to clear, if you should get something caught in the brushbar the motor cuts out, so it is a simple matter of pressing a button to reset it.

I have previously had a Dyson and had nothing but trouble with it, it blocked up each time I used it, it was fiddly and difficult to clear the hose didn't suck properly, The bottom plate was extremely difficult to get back on after removing drive belt to unblock the tiny space behind. Give me Vax every time. I have just bought their Dual V washer as well and am thrilled with that too. Top marks for Design to Vax....thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, 8 Aug 2009
This review is from: Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
Vax VZL-801 Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Works well and isn't too heavy. Good suction, cleans up pet hair very well and is easy to empty.
My only criticism is that it doesn't have a small tool for cleaning in small spaces where the main machine can't get into.
I had to devise my own with tools from my previous cleaner!
