Vax Air Lift Steerable Pet U84-AL-PE

Claiming to be the UK's lightest corded lift-out cylinder, Vax's Air Lift Steerable Pet aims to be a true all-rounder. Its 800 watt motor packs a bigger punch than similarly cordless models and the 1.5-litre dust bin should see you getting around a few...

Light and steerable as upright ; Great on stairs ; On-board accessory storage ; Mostly effective cleaning

Only average on pet hair ; Hard to clean brush bar ; Doesn't clean right to edge ; Short hose and wand

Vax Air Cordless Lift U85-ACLG-B

The Vax Air Cordless was a big hit with us last year, but Vax is back with improved versions this year and the new Vax Air Cordless Lift is its new flagship cordless vacuum cleaner. It adds a handy headlamp and a boost mode for tougher spots, but the...

Good cleaning on all surfaces ; Two removable batteries included ; Great freedom in handheld mode ; Up to 50 minutes total cleaning time

Poor edge cleaning on carpets ; No low power mode or release valve ; Limited dust capacity

Vax Air Lift Steerable Pet review: Transforming upright vacuum

The Vax Air Lift Steerable Pet is an incredibly versatile upright vacuum and great value

The Vax Air Lift Steerable Pet might not be the most attractive, nor elegant, vacuum cleaner out there but it’s incredibly versatile and great value for money, too. Ideally, it would be a little lighter, as at 6.2kg you do get a bit of a workout in use...

VAX Air Lift Steerable Pet

While most vacuums have the floor mastered, most people need to get them upstairs and of course also to vacuum the stairs themselves. The problems of the lead are often solved by an extension but the hose still needs a connection.

When removing from the box I liked what I saw just two main items the cleaner itself and the handle (wand) that just clips onto it, no tools are required to assemble. My next joy was the mains lead its long at 10 metres so even if sockets are a...

great hoover

Great hoover at a great price. Slightly heavier to manoeuvre around than my previous Vax, but much easier to use when cleaning stairs. Very happy with this purchase.

Does the job

It looks good. Comes with a range of tools. The removal of the main cylinder and long cable allowed incredibly easy vacuuming of the stairs. Certainly put my old one to shame

Plastic

The plastic components feel very flimsy and on the whole the cleaner seems badly designed. On the plus side the steering is good and the suction excellent.
