This is similar to Hoover One Power vacuum, except that the battery is not removable. My Hoover generates clicking noice from the brush head after one month’s use. The belt touches the the case cover making the noise.
Thank you for sharing that, I didn't know. I've just taken delivery of the Vax blade 3 that has a removable battery. Sorry to hear about your vacuum hope you still have warranty left and get it sorted.
My blade 2 max did this. The ball bearing that supports the brushbar failed on the belt drive side. It caused excess friction and melted the housing that holds the bearing. This made the belt go slack and start skipping and hitting the case around the belt. Vax replaced the whole head under warranty.
I have the original blade in the 24v ultra model great little vacuum it’s upstairs right now charging I’m a bout to do my cleaning now with it it’s great!
I think it's a fine machine, I do find it's pretty useless in the low power mode - kinda have to use the boost all the time which cuts the battery life in half. Would be nice to have a removable battery pack as well.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I agree a removable battery would be nice. I'm using the Hoover H free 500 pet that has a removable battery, makes life easier. I will be uploading a review soon if your interested.
+ EASY SOLUTIONS REVIEW, you need a Hoover with a sealed chamber or whatever it's called. Trust me Shark vacuum is the one for you. I have asthma and my shark doesn't bring on any breathing problems.
I have one, and I don't like. You have to charge it 3 hours min, to use it for less than 15 min in the max power, the minimum one is useless. Also have it for just 2 years and the head was faulty already twice, I don't chuck it just because is amazing at picking up my long hair from the carpet.
Here's my slight beef with my (and all blade 2/3/4 cleaners). Yes I understand cuts need to be made to keep the price down. But, the batteries in all blade cleaners use old school 2Ah cells, the current standard in most tools and power equipment is 2.5 or 3Ah cells. The purchase cost to the end user would increase by around 12% to include these upgraded 3Ah cells. This means that they could increase the suction on 'low' mode by 50% and still get the same 45mins or so of life. Or on 'boost' mode the life could increase from 12 minutes, to 18 minutes.
This is a good point, but i suspect most jobs you would use this type of device for would be done within that time and the increased battery capacity will add bulk and weight as well as cost. It should be an option though. I just bought a blade 2 and a bit of a wait via covid mail lol. So I'm just hoping i made the right purchase at this point. It cost a touch less than a dyson v7.
@@m.b.82 All 18650 cells are exactly the same dimensions and weights are very close. So upgrading from 2.0ah to 3.0ah cells will do nothing to change weight or bulk at all. I was considering re-celling it myself but then I would lose my 3 year warranty. I've been using the blade 2 max for almost a year I'm very pleased with it. I recommend buying the optional pack with the stretch hose and brushes, and the mini motorised head is handy for car seats and carpet. It's extra cost but makes it super versatile. The weaknesses are that it's not as good on hard floors, and the turbo head bearings can overheat and melt the chassis if you get fine fur or hair stuck in the bearings.
@@procrastinator1842 thats interesting. I just assumed based on various cordless tools that more ah equaled bigger battery packs. My vax blade 2 landed the other day. Very impressed with it. Even on hard floors which wasn't really a concern as i mop. Will keep an eye on the turbo head for fine hair. Thanks for the heads up 👍
@@m.b.82 Yah, I have had 1.3, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 power tool batteries that are all the same size, technology gets better. The problem with the power head isn't something you can easily check, one day you will just smell smoke and it's off to the warranty department. If you remove the roller brush you will see a small Philips head screw on the plastic dog that engages the roller. This can be remove (it's a left hand thread, so righty-loosey) and any hair can be picked out the space between the plastic dog and the bearing.
@@GrumpyMansREVIEWS its also a wonder a hard floor designed head isnt included, the rotating brush head is great for carpets, but just pushes larger particles around on hard floors. I bought one, the Blade 2 Pet, which comes with smaller couch rotating brush,and its pretty good. But i find myself using boost mode 90% of the time, and its weakness is definitely picking cat litter up from our wooden floor boards, as i have to run it backwards over it, slightly lifting it a bit, otherwise it just gets bulldozed to the edges
Good fun review. Having just bought this, I would agree that it's very good on carpets, in fact I'd go as far as to say exceptional and it easily removed things like black sock fluff from the bedroom carpet that our old plug in Vax always left. I wasn't too bothered by it not picking up cheerios on a hard wood floor, our only concern is battery life if you've got a lot of carpets, in that powering the brush head eats battery and means using the boost mode sparingly. But all in all, I wasn't prepared to pay £500 for the Dyson cordless that has better reviews which is a crazy price top pay for a vacuum cleaner!
It’s really good on carpets but as you say the battery, still better then Dyson prices. Hope you enjoy using it. Thank you for taking the time to comment I appreciate it!
@@gary8672 my family have all had Dyson V6 untill I bought a shark corded and hoovered the carpet after hoovering with the Dyson. It filled the container with what the Dyson left behind. My father bought the cordless battery shark duo and that is as good as the 240v. Keep the filters clean or buy new from China they are about £4 for 5 sets of filters. Another thing is the Dyson Hoover's constantly blocked and broke something the sharks don't do.
@@gary8672 your more than welcome. Keep your eyes open for second hand models in good condition. I picked a duo up for £125 with 2 batteries like new but when I got there it's was hardly picking up. I checked the filters and they had never been cleaned. I bought it and changed the filters and it was as good as new again. They really are a brilliant hoover and now all my family have them. One thing you will notice is it will pull very fine dust and dirt out of your carpets that the Dyson left behind. Best of luck with what you buy and I can highly recommend the shark duo.
@@gary8672 just type in shark duo filters on eBay and have s good look down the list. The more you buy the cheaper they are. They are all washable so I just keep them ready to go. Look for short delivery times some take 6 to 8 weeks. One other thing is when the front roller gets dirty you don't have to remove it to wash it use a couple of baby wet wipes and it looks like new within a minute and drys quick. Best of luck

Where and how much to get a replacement battery 🔋 😫 thanks 😊
@@tim1968ification Check on Vax website or Amazon.
How easy is it for an old person to use since there is quite a lot of weight at the top near the hands and wrist that has to be supported?
I wouldn't recommend it, it's heavy.
I just want a simple but very effective carpet cleaner. Which one would you recommend please? New subscriber btw 😁
My brother bought the Vax Platinum power Max
a few months ago he's really happy with it.
Thank you for subscribing, I really appreciate it!!

What is the average boost runtime?

+GrumpyMan , can you review the Shark nz801 UK?. I have it & I love my bad boy Sharkie but I'd love to see your opinion of him.
I will try I own the 800UKT the first one absolutely love it
Would love to see it tested with flour added to the mixture, since that is much closer to dust size particles.
Thanks a lot for allergy advise as got asthma and was almost thinking to buy it so Bless you for the true info:)

I think stick vacuum manufacturers need to make boost mode the normal speed and a battery that last 45mins running that mode

Why do you say 'wax' instead of 'vax'?
