Pretty good, great value for money
Well, we bought this for $99. It's a pity it has a bag that needs replacing when used, or a lot of careful emptying. The suction is great, the power is great, and it is not too uncomfortable. I was also a little upset that the wet function seems to be simply for sucking up wet spills and such, but I have not actually tried it yet, instead of carpet cleaning. But I will write if I am in fact wrong, and can shampoo the carpet with it. Only thing I didn't purchase with the original was refill bags, I will see now if I can order some online at the target website.

The Worst
My partner purchased this product, it is the most awkward and plastic machine I have ever owned. The suction seems ok on the lino, on carpet you can only pull the vac towards you, but the angles are all off as there is no movement in the vac head. Extremely noisy. I haven't used as a wet vac yet.

This product isn't the best but it is better than nothing... Its upkeep probably isn't worth the hassle. It looses suction all the time, your forever deconstructing and putting it back together to bring back the suction. You also can't buy the vacuum bags from Big W. Ive had to order them online.

unusable head
We had to wait months for this to be delivered - seems to be the norm with appliances on line these days- selling products they don't actually have in stock. Such a pity -used to be such a great company to purchase from. The vac itself is fine but the cleaning head- (the bit that is in contact with the floor) is so cheap and badly made that it is impossible to push or pull it across any surface other than tile or lino and even then - on tiles it grabs at the grout lines. Hideous cheap rubbish - luckily the head from our old vacuum cleaner 'sorta' fit on the end of the hose and we are able to use it

Good price for a handy vacuum cleaner
The VAX seems to be suitable for what I purchased it for. The hose is extra long which is helpful especially for vacuuming the car and it is good how it can do wet and dry. I would have liked to have a better head on the hose. One with more brushes to do the concrete flooring in the garage. Otherwise we are happy with the purchase.

Very plastic and cheap
Very plastic and not very good with sucking. The handle is very frail, very disappointed.

Shame about the head and handle
Seems like a sturdy enough unit that performs OK. The plastic head and handle let the product down. The head is small and flimsy. The plastic handle seems to build up static, which makes dog hair stick to the outside of the tube.

Don't waste your money
I only bought this today and I'm already shopping for a new one!! The main arm is three plastic tubes and the minute you put any amount of pressure on it it bends! The heads carpet/hard floor piece you have to just "push out" to change. I was unable to do this even with significant force, would require a flat metal blade of sorts which I didn't want to do incase of damaging it.

Awesome, would definitely but again.
Not sure the bad reviews are warranted. The head is a little bit bendy when using as mentioned by others, however we’ve had our vacuum for 4 years now and it still runs like a dream! Honestly the best vacuum we’ve ever had. Plus the blower function is wonderful, for cleaning off the patio and the garage. Would definitely recommend. Can also buy the replacement bags at Harvey Norman.

Great features
It has good suction and I like being able to use it as a blower. I like the long cord on it. I can plug it in and vacuum my whole 2 bedroom unit without having an extension lead. It's not heavy so is easy to move around.

Wet & dry vax
Should have realised how poor this vacuum would be can’t even push forward have to just drag it back due to how fragile the head and pipe is will be buying a new vacuum as soon as can afford in meantime have taped up my old one with hole in the suction part and wet & dry vax will be chucked in clean up for council.

Still selling them after they know it’s garbage
Sent a review 3 weeks ago and looks like bigW are choosing the shelf it … hiding the real truth about this crap vacuum. Reviews shouldn’t be screened as people rely on them to make an informed judgement. Shame bigW

Not drilled!
One of the screw holes used to attach the handle was not drilled. I would give you 5 stars if it were not for that issue. Fortunately I had a drill, so everything was fine. Other than that, it works fine!

Simple, basic workhorse.
Works well, good suction, excellent capacity. It's a easy to topple it over though, and only having one basic vaccuum head is limiting but at the price, I'm happy to overlook these things.

Love it
A sign of the times that steel pipes are replaced with cheaper plastic, which decreases the longlivity of the product. The Vax has great suction, perfect for pet hair. The Vax is easy to operate and manoeuvre around my home. Blowing dust and leaves from ouside windows and floors is a very good added extra for cleaning around the home. Much easier, more effective and effecient than sweeping. I am very impressed with my Vax.

Excellent vacuum. Works extremely well on hard floors. Ok on carpet. Only problem is it’s very noisy. Other than that it’s awesome for the price

Easy to use
I bought a Vax Wet and Dry Vaccuum cleaner and find it very easy to use, with added bonus of being able to use as a blower.

Why take your good vac outside?
Cheap and Cheerful - powerful enough to clean the car, wet or dry.

Great Vacuum
I really like the size of the bag and the versatility of this vacuum cleaner. I can clean the whole house and my workshop 4 times before the bag even needs looking at. The unit travels very easily when pulled by the nozzle and the extra long power cord means you dont have to keep plugging it in when you go into another room. Excellent suction and blower!

Question & Answers
Is this Vax also capable to pick up pet hair? I have a crook back and cant do too much heavy duty scrubbing like with my current vaccuum.
Asked by: immie618
Hi immie618,
Thanks for reaching out, this will pick up loose pet hair but if it is really intertwined with the carpet fiber then you may require a vacuum cleaner with a powered brush on the head to assist in pulling out the pet hair.
