Hi, I bought this machine on August 2021 after watching your video. It really saves my time to clean floor after children's meal. Thank you for introducing this machine very clearly.😊
Thanks for sharing this fab review! Your video was also a huge help to me after I bought the Vax Glider, because you showed the new product up close (I unscrewed the cap to refill the cleaning fluid but couldn't remember how to put it back together - your close-ups showed me which part went where!)
Great review thank you. I also found the lack of a way to pick it up annoying, the top of the handle isn't the easiest way to carry it around especially up and down stairs. Some side rollers would be a great idea and take care of skirting boards and the bottom of cupboards. A really useful video review and so glad you didn't get into trouble with the salsa mess!
I bought this cleaner, partly on the basis of your review, and I wouldn’t recommend it for tiled floors. The cleaner should be a labour-saver, but it doesn’t live up to its promise. As you’ve said, it can’t clean up to the skirting boards, but worse, it doesn’t clean things like dried food drops. And when the floor is very dirty (we have a dog), as you pull back from the end of a forward stroke, it will often drop a dirty puddle behind. My floor cleaning routine now is to wash the floor with a mop and bucket, and then use the Vax to dry the floor. The battery takes good hand strength to squeeze the side lugs to get it out of the machine. Anyone with any degree of arthritis in their hands should avoid the Vax. The dirty water container doesn’t always want to sit securely in the machine. Sometimes it seems to be in place, but then pops out when moved. I don’t understand why the ‘eco’ power setting isn’t the default. The ‘high’ power is annoyingly noisy and I can’t see that it makes any difference in cleaning effectiveness. Our vax stopped working after a month and got repaired under warranty. I’ve no idea what the cause of the problem was. Packing it for sending back was a nightmare because I’d recycled the box it came in. I won’t make that mistake again! In summary, it’s over-priced for what it can do.
Just watched recent ad on tv. Picking up spilled Heinz spaghetti!! Why on earth would you allow an intake of that food going into the brush and tank!!! Crazy to be honest.
Ahh man , loved mine until it stopped dispensing the water! Tried everything possible to repair. I believe the brush roll mini motor has gone kaput!! Great review though 👍
I am intending to purchase a hardfloor cleaner and contemplating between the Bissell Crosswave and the Vax Glide. Its just to wash a flat hardfloor with no big crumbles of food nor any rugs. Would you still recommend the Bissell Crosswave? I also intend to get a cordless handheld vacuum cleaner so inclined to go with the Vax One Power range for both. What's your suggestion?
If your going to get a vacuum always, I'd recommend the Vax Glide and the Vax blade, that way you'll have two batteries. That's the setup I'm running in my house. If you had rugs then I'd say Bissell Crosswave.
Thank you, this was a really good review. I'm a bit dissapointed at the run time is only 30 mins and I'm a bit worried about that and wonder if I can buy an extra battery. However, as a result of this review I will be this floor cleaner so thank you.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS sorry to bother you. I ordered the vax onepwr glide, is it definitely suitable for laminate flooring? The info said it is but my fitter is shaking his head saying he’s not so sure. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have hard floors - slate and Karndean - with a couple of rugs - and torn between this and the Bissell. which would you recommend?
I was born in the black country my uncles used to say B for W. West Bromwich, Wednesfield, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Wednesbury and Wordsley so I know what you mean. You seem like a nice man funny man :-) Thanks.
I'm thinking about getting one of these for the kitchen. I'm just worried that long term it'll cost me a fortune in vax cleaning solution. how have you found it?
Any advice on how the water solution works doe does not seem to release to the floor properly floor is virtually bone dry hardly any solution on floor at all
Hi, just a quick questions, i have 24 special needs cats and 3 dogs so i was wonderng can you leave the clean water and mixture sitting in the clean water tank ready for when you need it or do you have to keep it empty at all times until you have to use it jplease ? thanks tania (human slave to fur-babies)
Help I no this review couple years old But just got one of these Used it etc then put it back in the tray It still had solution n clean water in the tank, but when I come back to it The tray was full of the clean water n solution that I left in the bottle Is that rite? I didn’t think I’d have to take out the clean water tank after every wash, as sometimes I mite not use all the water n solution left in tank
Thanks for reply, yeh tight ended it all up, under neath the machine there’s 2 central like in dented holes The water is coming out of the front one is that rite? I brought it refurbed from vax on eBay
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS thank you for your help, I’ve actually sent the machine back, was a refurbished one off vax eBay, but had multiple faults on it even tho they’re meant to be fully re tested before being sent out
Hi there I've had a Dyson animal and would never touch a Dyson again😡. My house is 90% hard floor, but I do have carpet on stairs and landing can I still use the hoover as a normal hoover on carpet too or is this machine just for hard floor only
Hello so sorry for the late reply, for some reason I just received your comment. No this is only to be used on hard floors. The Bissell crosswave can be used on both.
I'm so sorry for the late reply, I've just seen your comment. On eco mode not very wet at all, on boost model a bit wet but the more you go over it with a dry pass it drys up quickly.
Thanks for the review, I’m torn with the Vax one pwr glide or the Bissel crosswave. What would you recommend? The noise level of the Bissel is a bit off putting but the rug mode and it being corded is a plus. Can you use the Vax on carpet just to give it a quick refresh?
Keep the crosswave, my daughter's got one, and I've got this one. Personally out of the two the crossbar is the better, my one has lots of faults, that blue button to press to get the roller out, it's a swine, and the clear one underneath what a nightmare, we've never been able to get it back on, so personally I hate it, I loved my Kartcher is was perfect, so if you can get one of those do get one perfection!
@@elliebarrington-denning3218 I ended up keeping the crosswave and just replaced all the replaceable parts from Bissell website and purchased the Kärcher fc7 (in love with how quiet it is!) and If I need to vacuum, longer than 45 minutes I use the crosswave which hasn’t happened since I purchased the Kärcher vacuum
It only let's solution out when you press the trigger the compartment is at the front which collects the dirt and solution. It's designed to do both you can use it as a dry vacuum however the performance isn't as good as a stand-alone vacuum cleaner.
I've got one, and the front doesn't come off and go back on as easily as his does, in fact I've never been able to use mine again because the bloody front won't go on at all. 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
We've got one of these.... It's dreadful. It struggles to pick up the water from our tiled kitchen and dining room floors on Max power. Eco mode is therefore pointless. The spinning roller is no where near the width of the head it is located in so edge cleaning is impossible. There is a plus point... It is well made. Pointless though if it doesn't do as advertised. Would not recommend this thing to anyone.
Sorry to hear that. We're still happy with ours. We've been using a new machine Tineco Floor One S3 that's really good, it's really light. We'll have a full review coming this week.
Thanks for watching watch more hard floor cleaner reviews th-cam.com/video/Yv4SNDxdMVM/w-d-xo.html
We have 2 vax machines the carpet cleaner and the platinum power carpet washer is the hard floor washer worth it
If you have a lot of hard floors to clean then yeah.

Thank you for watching!
I'm not even in the market for one of these cleaners, I just subscribe for the in depth reviews. Keep it up man!
Thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate it!

Thanks man, really informative and watchable. Nice to hear a different voice to all the normal stuff out there. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate it!!
Great review thank you. I also found the lack of a way to pick it up annoying, the top of the handle isn't the easiest way to carry it around especially up and down stairs. Some side rollers would be a great idea and take care of skirting boards and the bottom of cupboards.
A really useful video review and so glad you didn't get into trouble with the salsa mess!
Thank you!
First 10 seconds had me laughing 🤣
Lol thanks for watching.
We were wondering whether to get this cleaner. After your review we will definitely buy. Very detailed thank you very much
Glad you found the video useful.
It's a really good machine.
What’s it like for dried on stuff though?
Better than the instruction booklet. Product is brilliant.

I was thinking of getting this but couldn't find any video review's thank you for the great review I'll be getting this as a early Christmas present
Good choice.

Great review, answered all of our questions.
On a side note, you sound local to me (Middlesbrough).
Thank you for your kind comment!
I'm from Leeds.
how do you remove the handle to dismantle? great video
I bought the same machine exactly but under Hoover brand name! How come?
In USA it's under the Hoover brand and UK it's under the VAX brand
Excellent review, very informative, well done and thank you for taking the time to share :-)
Thank you for your kind comment, I really appreciate it!!
Like your reviews. In your opinion out of all the hard floor cleaners you've reviewed. Which is the best?
How do i remove the handel after i have put it in
bought it but left bad odour each time use it.. could be from the brush?

Great demo, thanks. I have their ad ripped out of a recent Sunday Times newspaper for use and they're advertising it for £249.99.
Glad you found the video useful!! It's a great machine we use it all the time.

Thank you! Yes you can buy a spear battery.
Hello doesthe trigger actually press in we can not get ours to dispense the water solution they sent us a new handle and that also will not work
No it doesn't, it might be the actual unit that's faulty.
Is it not annoying to hold and press the button to release the solution and also that the dirty water bin is so small !!
Love your video reviews.
Thank you, much appreciated.
Great review mate!!
Thanks mate!
Great review ,very comprehensive and real world use.
Thank you for your kind comment!

Great review bro! Very concise and to the point. Big ups 😎
Thanks bro!
I have a terracotta tiled floor, with an uneven surface, which gets very dirty. Will this gadget deal with this? Thanks in advance.
It work as well on uneven surfaces.

I’m not questioning you, but it’s not a sealed laminate floor although it’s a nice quality.
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,

Great review. Very informative and all well explained. Thank you.

I'd imagine this KEEPS floors clean and not actually clean dirty floors you'd have to clean a dirty floor (like grained vinyl flooring)
I'm thinking about getting one of these for the kitchen. I'm just worried that long term it'll cost me a fortune in vax cleaning solution. how have you found it?
I just wait for the big bottles to go on sale or I use a different brand.
Any advice on how the water solution works doe does not seem to release to the floor properly floor is virtually bone dry hardly any solution on floor at all
Have you checked where the bottle fit's for blockages?
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS yeah still no joy it's going back bud two new handles possible trigger problem nothing but problems bud

Hi you can leave it in.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS phew....thats grand. Thanks. Did u do a review of the onepwr spot cleaner 😀😃
It's the same thing in the UK it's sold under the VAX brand.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS sorry? Onepwr spot cleaner is the small handheld one, u reviewed it yet?
No I haven't.
Vax vs the Karcher FC5 Premium...if you are buying one machine which is your first choice?
Definitely the Vax.
Just curious why?
It cleans a lot better plus it vacuums at the same time.
Is there any option for us if we want to vacuum only?
Yes don't press the solution button, but wouldn't recommend it for dry vacuuming.
Does it clean, washes and drys? Please anyone who knows anything or bought it reply to me thank you 😃
hi ya, which floor cleaner, cordless would you honestly say is your favorite pease ?
They all work the same, it's difficult to pick a favourite.
Help
I no this review couple years old
But just got one of these
Used it etc then put it back in the tray
It still had solution n clean water in the tank, but when I come back to it
The tray was full of the clean water n solution that I left in the bottle
Is that rite?
I didn’t think I’d have to take out the clean water tank after every wash, as sometimes I mite not use all the water n solution left in tank
Hi ours doesn't do that. Are you sure you closed the bottle lid properly?
Thanks for reply, yeh tight ended it all up, under neath the machine there’s 2 central like in dented holes
The water is coming out of the front one is that rite?
I brought it refurbed from vax on eBay
I'm out at the moment, I'll check when I get back home.
I'll get back to you.
Hello I've just checked and can confirm this is normal.
It's really a waste.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS thank you for your help, I’ve actually sent the machine back, was a refurbished one off vax eBay, but had multiple faults on it even tho they’re meant to be fully re tested before being sent out
You forgot the most important element how does it pick up crumbs etc as its meant to be a hoover too?
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for review, could anyone tell me of the best alternative cleaning liquid that i could by.
Sorry I'm unable to help as I only use the one from Vax, I bought a few bottles.
I use dettle
Works great only a £1

Glad you found the video useful.
Can you use this on marble flooring Thanks
Hi sorry for the late reply, just seen your comment.
As long as it's sealed flooring yes you can.
This is a great review. I have one question does it leave the floor wet or dry??
Thank you! Almost dry, it depends on how much solution you use and how many dry passes you do.
Does it have to be the vax solution or can i use any floor cleaner?
You can use any.
How wet is the floor afterwards?
That is exactly what I want to know. Looking forward to read the answer
I'm so sorry for the late reply, I've just seen your comment.
On eco mode not very wet at all, on boost model a bit wet but the more you go over it with a dry pass it drys up quickly.

You can only use the onepwr on hard floors
Yes

Not really your floor will stay wet from the uneven part, as the head does not pivot.

Does it wash it with warm water?or is it cold?
Yes warm water from the tap.

No it's not a steam cleaner. I have reviewed many steam cleaners. Shark have released a new steam cleaner, first of a kind, review will be up soon.
Can I use any saloutions
Hi yes you can.
Wow look out Bissell great review
Thank you for watching.

Just bought one of these and now realized it leaks via the flexible tube. Anyone else had the same issue
That's annoying. Have you contacted Vax? They'll sort it out, they really good with their guarantees.
GrumpyMan's REVIEWS yes called them this morning and the VAX is going back to be repaired or replaced. Will update you after it returns.
Looks like a good product.
Thank you for watching.
Can u vacum and clean seperatly or is it always cleaning and vacuuming together? Also wer is the vacuumed compartment??
It only let's solution out when you press the trigger the compartment is at the front which collects the dirt and solution.
It's designed to do both you can use it as a dry vacuum however the performance isn't as good as a stand-alone vacuum cleaner.
Sweet man excellent review
Thank you so kind!!
Doesn’t look like it cleans right up to the edge, which means I’d still have to scrub manually; not good.
Nice review though.
Very good great quality

There all the same, Tineco is very good.
Just bought one so far not impressed floor not dry enough just as wet as mopping aircraft powerglide floor cleaner much better
Are you going over without pressing the trigger? You should do that a few times, if the floors are still over wet contact Vax.
I got one of these and I to found my floor soaking wet so I returned it.
Are you putting on a funny accent
