Nice one Vassy been waiting 5 months 4 weeks for this

I'm a sucker for a bargain. So I'll get in first with this one and treat her to a new vac :smile:

Heat added vassy' nice find.

Even at the alleged 'discount' prices Vax vacuums just aren't worth it. Poor design, flimsy and they clog incredibly easily. Save yourself the hassle and get a Shark!

Nice spot vassy, heat added :smiley:

Tesco diret via TJ Hughs

Where did you a buy a shark for £65!

Quick question but are these reconditioned? I've just had mine delivered and there was cleaning solution in it and the two bottles of cleaning solution that should have been included were missing

Turns out although it was dispatched today the delivery isn't expected until Wednesday the 12th! That's nearly another week to wait.

My delivery charge is being refunded though, so that's something I guess.

Even MyHermes take about 3 days to deliver these days, I can't fathom why yodel are taking a week :confused:

I just received an email saying that mine is just preparing for dispatch.

I expected better, plus I think these days when spending over £150, paying an extra £5 delivery should mean expedited delivery not a week+.

The dog vomit stain on my carpet is taunting me :laughing:

​me to! I ordered on the 1st paid the 4.99 delivery charge and they said I'm expected to receive it on the 12th! nearly 2 weeks for delivery is a joke!

I am still waiting for my order of a carpet cleaner to arrive, from last week.

The dog was sick on the carpets the day I ordered and 3 goes of vanish carpet spray cleaner hasn't got rid of the mark so I can't wait for it to arrive!

Yes. They're worth the sale price. Lol

Count yourself lucky. See my post above ^

Ordered four items (2 to a different address) and all arrived quickly and in good order. Only thing I would say is that when tracking order it gave no details about delivery day. Products just arrived with no warning.

Brought a vax carpet cleaner 9 years ago still does a great job but getting a bit loud now so buying a spare for when it goes. Also brought a Vax agile something something vacuum 5 years ago and still run better than the missus dyson and could have brought four vax's for what she paid. The day dyson or shark do a 20 year guarantee parts and labour I'll buy one :smiley:

Jumped on nice and early, ordered last week, and they've only just sent my order out with another 3-7 working day wait ahead.

Not impressed.

I know they've probably been busy, but even so. Others have had theirs in 12hours from order?!

Scrub that - they've not even sent it - hasn't left their warehouse. *Sigh*

Ok, so can someone help me out here?

Been looking at reviews for carpet cleaners but I still can't decide between the Dual V and the Dual Power Pro Advance. Would be handy if there was a versus comparison between the two when it comes to the suction, how well it dries the carpet, etc, but I can't find any.

So apprently Yodel delivered my parcel today but it never came, there customer services have given a signiture name that i dont recognise. This is going to be Fun!! Thanks for using Yodel Vax!! argghhh

Same.. i bought a carpet cleaner.. box had a sticker saying damaged box but item in was brand new :smiley:

My Dual Powrer Max carpet cleaner arrived today (less than 12hrs since ordering!) box has a sticker on it saying "Box Damaged"...but it clearly isn't ...Box and contents obviously brand new. This is about my 4th Vax product bought in recent years and all have exceeded expectations...and have a longer warranty than most of their rivals.

thats accurate counting. just bought one myself, hoping to replace my bloody useless dyson

I bought a top of the range one a few years ago on one of these "deals". Total rubbish. Bought a Shark now for £65 and is in a different league to these or a Dyson.

I'm glad you didn't :smile:

I personally find using flash floor cleaner works better. Its not designed for carpet cleaners i know, but it makes the carpet smell very nice, plus it is much cheaper to buy (£1 at ASDA)

Bought the Air Cordless Upright (£80) for my Father late Wednesday night. It arrived this afternoon (Devon) via Yodel, which to be fair is none too shoddy.
Just got back from setting ti up for him.
First impressions, not too bad at all. You are almost certainly restricted to always using the boost function, which gives reasonable suction but cannot really be compared to a good mains unit. The motorised brush function does however make up the work for the lesser suction. It was quite alarming how rapidly that cylinder filled up to be honest. Its excellent maneuverability makes up for any perceived weight. The walkabout unit's performance is purely dependent on which head you attach in my opinion. The smaller heads giving the best pick-up performance given the lack of the motorised head. The build quality is better than i expected to be honest. I was expecting a shoddy, poorly fitting component build.
Caveats. Already i can see that maintenance will be key to it's longevity. You'll be cleaning the cylinder and filter on an almost per use basis if your carpets are subject to a lot of traffic etc. I didn't think the hard floor performance was anything special at all. A common train of though with this unit as i have read. I think there may be a hard floor setting on the head, but have not looked into it.
Overall i was very pleasantly surprised with what i found. For £85, the main unit is a doddle to use, and the ability to be cordless for the stairs and car is it's own very obvious boon. Recommended

​The longer the legs the more she begs!!...

Yep, did explain this that my agreement is with Vax not Yodel, felt like she was basically calling me a liar, just rang Vax back, seems difficult for them to understand that Yodel have admitted to being at fault, that the other 2 parts of the order show as being delivered at a different time, which I openly admitted to receiving them, 10 minute wait on the phone and the guy comes back stating a investigation would have to happen and that it could be another week before I receive what I ordered.

Left a rather bad taste in my mouth, think i'll avoid them in future, have been a customer before with no issues but this time seems I've been treated unfairly IMO.

Thats garbage your buying from Vax not yodel.Its a vax problem to sort not yours.

Wish Vax would use a reputable delivery company other than crappy Yodel, one item missing delivered to the wrong address, Vax aren't interested, stating I have to sort it with Yodel which is utter crap

Been using vax for years without a hitch. You may possibly have had a defective unit. Your still covered (sort of) regardless even without the manufacturers warranty/guarantee under the Consumer rights act. Have a read through this:

http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/what-do-i-do-if-i-have-a-faulty-product

Wouldn't buy one due to the experience i had with the steam mop. stopped working 12 months down the line, could not get any steam to come out. It would make a noise but deliver naff all. even stripped it down but couldn't find the problem. just after warranty expiry as well.

Thanks op. Ended up buying a steam cleaner/mop from their website!

I bought the dual power pro for £80 a while back and never got an email.Never thought it would come but it did.Then i got an email with the 6 year warranty details on.

I ordered a carpet cleaner 2 days ago and didn't get an email, I have just rang vax and I have spelt my email wrong! but it is being delivered today, took a while to get through though,hope this helps:)

By the way screwfix do a 5ltr bottle of carpet cleaner.Used many seems as good as vax.Only £12
http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-carpet-cleaning-detergent-5ltr/70509#_=p

Well thanks a lot, that's another expense I hadn't planned... :P

Ordered an All Terrain Carpet Cleaner, if it breaks early I can always fall back on the credit card protection.

Suction poor on it ok on dust but no good on bits of gravel

absolute bulls*** deal! the one I was about to order is cheaper from John Lewis!!!

oh you misogynist you !

Worth checking your junk folder ?

I placed an order earlier today but yet to get a confirmation email, is anyone else having this issue?

I've had two Vax vacuums now and they have been a huge huge pile of sh*t

Thanks a lot for your response. May I ask what was the reason you didn't like it - not good suction or anything else?

Heat.

indeed

fake deal, Vassy - you might be ashamed

got ours free with the cordless cleaner, and my husband has used it for the car, but didn't think much of it, and told a friend not to bother, would not recommend

Thanks.

Some blatant fake RRPs here. e.g. the portable hand vaccuum was 49.99 now 29.99 - it's been widely retailing at £25 for ages

​if only shark did factory clearances I'd be all over it like hair on the floor of a barbers

HOT but will have to pass on making a purchase as I must have bought around 24 bottles of cleaner the last time around, a couple of years ago, and still have some left.

Actually, VAX messed up with the delivery at the time and 24 bottles became 48. 24 given for free as they didn't want to accept returns for their mistake. Great service! edit: that sounds sarcastic...seriously, great service! :smile:

Cheers managed to get both my sons to buy carpet cleaners.Now mine will last longer.

It was the one at 79.99 with the 60min run time(2 batts). Don't get me wrong u need to clean in out every week or so but only takes few mins and brush is good at gettin hairs out the carpets, between my wife and 4 daughters I need to clear there hair out the brush ever week lol

I've had fab service from them. Got a new hoover after six years no quibble and new parts for steamer a month or so ago

Has anyone owned these http://www.vaxsale.co.uk/cordless-cleaners/air-cordless-handheld-vacuum-cleaner-2 - are they good?

Looking for a hand-held cordless cleaner for the car, sofa cleaning and crumbs (which are plenty because of the toddler).

Nice Vassy - another winner post from you mate.

I was wrong, only the terrain is heated.

I feel the terrain is a older product compared to the w-85, the w-85 is a which best buy too.
However I went with the terrain because it looks bulkier, heated cleaning and also can be used on hard surfaces too. Also the RRP was £50 more. (I do love a bargain even though It would never sell at RRP)
What did you end up with?

Thanks OP. Wanted a carpet cleaner with a hose and have been looking at the W86DPR for a while (even though we wanted the W85PLT but couldn't afford it).

However, went to buy the W86DPR tonight and had sold out so bought the W86DPT. I don't think there is much difference apart from the DPR's hose may stretch longer (even though it's the same length) and that the DPT has a wand for spot cleaning?

Anyone know, as it seems so confusing!

Thanks

Got the all terrain last sale. It gets so much crap out I sometimes check to see if it actually left the carpet. Never felt the need to use the supplied chemicals.

I went with the All Terrain because I was curious to see what it's like on hard floors too.

Really liking the idea of the heat - anything to cut drying time down is good in my book.

How's that relevant to the deal here?

I believe there both heated.
I was set on the W85 until I saw the same price for the Terrain.

I am eyeing them up aswell.

The all terrain is heated. Don't know if that is better or not.

The Vax All Terrain Carpet CleanerV-125A OR Vax Dual Power Pro Advance Carpet Cleaner W85-PL-T???
Choices? Anyone know whats the better option? There both same price

​I went for this too. A little disappointed that it only has a 12 month warranty though.

Horsewise.

The longer the legs the better the ride

Thanks a bunch, OP. Now I've just blown £145 on a All Terrain Carpet Cleaner. I have a VAX in the shed, but it's not been working right. Well, that's my excuse!

Had vax vacuum cleaner and my mum got same. Blew up as did replacements within a few months. Steam cleaner I had leaked everywhere ( 8 yrs ago) and my carpet washer was awful. Never have another vax ever.

Had 2 Vax hoovers. Never again, such poorly made and the customer service is pathetic.

bearing in mind that the carpet cleaners are sucking up your dust & hairs, your skin flakes & spills, your dirt and mistakes: it's not such a bad deal

I've ceased to be amazed at how much my machine gets out - but then again, I've got 3 kids :smiley:

they do clog a bit, which is why you should de-clog them every time you empty the waste

can't see that is over-demanding, just clean the bucket and its filter, the clear plastic dual pipe uptake whatsit and anything stuck to the scrubbers underneath

takes about 1 minute

disconnect electricity first

Pondered for an hour and went for the U85-AS-Pe, air stretch pet - blue.
£69.99 plus postage. It's more than some of them but 6 year guarantee really helps.
I chose it over the green "Ce" complete, because reviews suggested that doesn't come with a turbo brush, and people went out to buy one due to inability to tackle their stairs! The Pe comes with a turbo brush.

The Ce is also not looking readily available on Amazon where as the Pe is, priced at £129.99 - less than VAX RRP but still an almost definite, inc the postage cost, £55 saving on one of the cheapest available prices.

voted cold as Vax are rubbish!!!!!

i got a 50 quid vax from T J hughes, works well , picks ups everything.
,maybe cheaply made, but not broken yet.
other option is to spend 250 on a dyson, which seem to break quite easily

Even at the alleged 'discount' prices Vax vacuums just aren't worth it. Poor design, flimsy and they clog incredibly easily. Save yourself the hassle and get a Shark!

​http://www.vaxsale.co.uk/cordless-cleaners/vax-air-cordless-lift-upright-vacuum-cleaner

​I have one of them . and I am really happy . with 2 batteries included. ok is not a dyson but for me it does the job.

Got the all Terrain carpet cleaner in the last sale. Either it pulls a frightening amount of stuff out of a square meter of carpet without any added chemicals or they've discovered a simple trick to turn water a deep muddy brown, possibly by passing a very specific current through it. It is silly effective, and has full 6 year guarantee.

Can I ask which one you bought? Want to buy one but unsure which one is good if you're buying another one has to be pretty good I'm guessing!

I've got the c85-p5-be it's awesome. Bought a couple for family as well previously. Really good value at £40-£50

In my experience you often get what you pay for with Vax. At least with the vacuums. i haven't had experience of their other products.

HEAT.thank you Vassy,hukd should give you a medal.

I'll let you know i ordered the same one :smiley:

Heat ! Carpet cleaner ordered thanks very much :smiley:

Just in case anyone else is having issues viewing images OR adding items to their basket:
Chrome = Delete your 'cached images and files'
Internet Explorer = Delete your 'Temporary Internet files and website files'.

Thanks Vassy! Heat added. Got myself a Pressure Washer!

I bought the VCW-04 carpet cleaner, it claims it's commercial grade so thats got to be good? lol

Shame Just missed Mothers day will have to put it away for her birthday or Christmas :laughing:
Great find heat added!!!:stuck_out_tongue:

http://www.vaxsale.co.uk/solution-and-accessories list the different solutions and prices

cheers, heat+

just bought myself another cordless vax, lol its duplicate of the one i got 2-3yrs ago and thinking its worth buying a spare at this price and i get another 2 batteries:)

TAT

I would also like to know what's the best one in this bunch. Just need something to hoover up my 2 bedroom flat with wooden floors throughout.

decent deal for a cheap cleaner but beware I took this deal a few years ago and was not impressed with the products at all - you get what you pay for!! my advice if you can't find a good dyson deal get a henry

I purchased the Vax Steam Fresh Power Plus Steam Cleaner last year, and it works perfectly with no issues.
Just need a pressure washer now!

Which is the best Vax cylinder vacuum under £35, is it based on price?

Vax Energise Vibe Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner £19.99
Vax Performance 10 Pet Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner £24.99
Vax Action Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner £29.99
Vax C86-TO-Pe Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner £29.99
Vax Power 4 Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner £29.99
Vax Power 4 Pet Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner £34.99

Cheers!

We had 2 bagless VAXes bought from factory clearance and I won't buy another one. The products looked good, were made of decent materials and had very good suction whilst new, however in my opinion their filters are not the best and this makes their maintenance very expensive. The filters, after washing them just a few times were useless as either the outer ring of the filter was getting too soft and no longer stayed in place, the viscose inserts got unevenly spread like an old pillow or clogged to the level the suction went to unacceptable level ).

I bought my Vax last year and I'm pretty happy with it.

steam mops it is all in one and perfect to use and easy
Vax Home Pro Compact Steam Cleaner
S6S
it is powerfull
Vax VPW4C PowerWash 3 2500w Complete Pressure Washer
VPW4C

Some really good discounts on the pressure washers. Just bought the P86-P3-T (catchy) which gets great reviews on Amazon.

Great deal. Just looking for a air purifier. Got one at a bargain price. Thanks

Vax - my partner had one that had a vacuum hose that was grey semi-transparent and folded over all the time. I put the thing in the skip!

Use password 'MSE17' to gain access

Deal source: MSE

It's in the OP, my word.

what's the password? it comes with invalid password when i type in vax

Extra 10% if you go through Argos Ebay with code.

Screwfix 5l Cleaning solution is better value. More concentrated so it needs diluted, half solution/half water.
Your text here

Yikes, that was a fast drop. Well worth that money, seriously! If the 32V goes to £170 however, then I'd pay the extra for some more battery life.

Had a vax cleaner nearly set on fire smoke coming out of the back and just over 2 years old with little use.

Vax not interested at all...

terrible company.

Vax Blade 24V is £149.99p at Argos now but still waiting for the 32V to be reduced.

I have a Vax Blade 24V

It's a vast improvement on the one currently in this sale, the SlimVac so it may be worth holding off.

"Vax All Terrain Carpet Cleaner" For when the carpet of mount Everest needs cleaning -_-

I was looking at the Vax Gator H85-GA-B10 but it's actually £1 cheaper brand new from Tesco Direct with Free Click and Collect... just a heads up for anyone else considering

still overpriced.

Looking to buy the new Vax Blade,35V stick cordless but none in the sale.This is the most powerful cordless you can buy.Argos had them a few weeks ago at £169 but they are £269 anywhere now .I'm going to wait my time.

Are theses new items or refurbs?

Bought twice before but had to return the items as they were customer returns and not in good condition.

Thanks vassy, heat added :smiley:

Thanks, bought a number of items for whole family.

Bought an Air Cordless Switch just under 2 years ago for nearly £100. It's had minimal use, as the suction is pretty poor and I decided to repair my Dyson. It hadn't been used for a good few months when I decided to give it another go, and I was surprised to see that the battery had completely died. I was only just inside warranty and, in fairness to Vax, they are sending me a replacement battery for free. Interestingly, the lady at Vax said they don't expect the batteries to last much beyond 2 years! WTF?! They also charge £79.95 currently, for a battery, which is the same price as a brand new Air Cordless Switch. So there you have it, even Vax value their Air Cordless Switch as worthless. I quite agree. Also, the removable stick vac is useless - no suction to speak of at all. Avoid!

Now your a complete person :smiley:

Thanks for this post! I was hesitant to get one last year, but since then our current hoover has snapped making it harder to clean. you just saved me £170.

think the deal a while ago
Vax Air Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner and Handheld Bundle - worth £279.98 - £79.99 @ VAX
was a lot better with free delivery for the cordless ones really pleased I bought it then

Cannot DISAGREE MORE !!Bought a jet wash and steam mop last year and jet wash had a really stiff release button for hose .Spoke on line and they sent a complete new reel, hose, and gun .Probably best after care I've ever used .They emailed to make sure replacement parts were OK .The replacement parts were more than price of the jet wash and all for a small red clip .100% recommended the after sales

Anyone have experience of their cordless models, other than the poster above? Thinking the slightly cheaper ones like this one http://www.vaxsale.co.uk/cordless-cleaners/vax-life-2-in-1-cordless-vacuum-cleaner-1

Check out reviews of what you are wanting to buy online and not the reviews on the Vax page. I was looking for a Steam Cleaner but reviews on Amazon are not very good on 3 different ones.
Voted hot though.

Thank you. Been waiting for this sale. To get a air purifier. They didn't have the model I really wanted. But picked up the next one I could. Accidentally bought a new Hoover. Somehow I will explain that away to the mr. Now to hope the deleverys come while he is at work. So I can pretend they were there all the time.

Was looking at getting a Vax 300 air purifier but as all prices have gone back to retail the AP03 model that is on offer is tempting at £99 Vs the current price of the 300 at £299.

Anyone here got one? Any good?

Nice one Vassy been waiting 5 months 4 weeks for this

Anyone looking for solution, just add a cap of fabric softener to the water tank, plus maybe some disinfectant or urine neutraliser if you want.

Does anyone know if there's a compatible extra-long hose for the carpet cleaners? I usually just use the handheld attachment but I still have to lug the entire contraption up and down the stairs because the hose isn't long enough

​The longer the legs the better she'll move!!

Terrible after sales help. guarantee not worth a jot.

Thanks OP

if anyone ows a cordless vac can someone tell me what's the best VAX cordless vaccum?

thanks you are the best vassyu4, i have saved too much money again for vax factory sale,i really like vax products i have 2 cordless cleaners ,2 pet vacuums,1 steam cleaners , 1 PowerWash 3 2500w and carpet cleaner i got them last 3 years when i saw factory sale different period. and today i ordered air cleaner :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you.Ordered this one http://www.vaxsale.co.uk/cordless-cleaners/gator-18v-handheld-vacuum-cleaner-1

great deal vassy heat from me <3

For carpet cleaners, the Vax Dual V Carpet Cleaner V-124A and Vax Dual Power Pro Advance Carpet Cleaner W85-PL-T are Which Best Buys if thats any reassurance....

God dam too many models.

I'm about to move into my own place...any recommendations for steam mops or pressure washers?

thanks vassy4u. Been looking at some of the accessories for the slim vac last week or so and that was 70% off (making it £20 delivered rather than £57!)

Thank you! was thinking to get the Dyson DC40 this afternoon, glad I didnt

Brilliant thank you. Went for the cordless floormate for £80, absolute steal as it's still 199 on Amazon.

Thanks :smiley:

Go for one with long legs. Tis the perfect solution.

Hate this sometimes, 140 quid gone, hopefully it's worth it, thanks op, I think :stuck_out_tongue:

can't say I've noticed the difference

Wow thanks

Code not working :disappointed:

I got this one & it's pretty effective



you do need to clean the bits every time you empty the waste, ie de-clog it of dust etc - otherwise it gets blocked and stops working/ risks over-heating

Vax raptide ultra carpet or ultra 2? Which is better? Any personal opinions??

Anyone here own the cordless vacs? Are they any good?

Same price with Vax too. Is it worth buying than the green bottled one?

you can use any competitor product in their cleaner

Anyone used any of the vax air filter appliances?

all their solutions are fine, you don't need a pet/ pet smells to use the pet solution, it's just carpet cleaner

Nice spot vassy, heat added :smiley:

got a carpet cleaner a couple of years ago - nice price

maybe the 3 for a tenner deal is back on the carpet cleaning solution?

I'm a sucker for a bargain. So I'll get in first with this one and treat her to a new vac :smile:

Heat added vassy' nice find.
