the item is easy to use and picks up all the rubbish easy

Love it! I've had Dyson vacuums for years, but the last one I had felt so flimsy, and I really don't like the 'ball' design, so decided to go back to a Vax. This one feels like a proper vacuum, but is really light to carry. Suction is brilliant.

I'm really pleased with this Hoover as far as the suction is concerned. My only complaint is about the lead. Vax advertise the extra long lead as a benefit however I have found it more of a hindrance. It gets caught under doors and often gets tangled. If you can live with this then I would recommend this Hoover.

My carpets looked a different colur once I'd used this vacuum! Great cleaning power. Suction can be adjusted depending on flooring. On board tools and extendable hose so you can clean to the top of the stairs whilst vac is at the bottom. Really long cable which means you don't have to constantly change sockets. The down side being the wire does get in the way a bit. Easy to empty.

To me the main requirement of a vacuum cleaner is suction and this one certainly has that if you want to be picky a retractable power lead would have been good and a bit disappointing that the turbo head for cleaning the stairs is bought separately that apart an excellent vacuum cleaner that cleans all carpets and hard floors with power

After owning a number of dysons and never being fully satisfied with their performance I thought I would try a Vax. I was certainly well impressed with its performance when I first used it. It has much better suction and with a longer leads allows me to vax without constantly stopping to plug in another socket due to the dysons short cable.

Previously had a vax air reach and was not disappointed with the U85-AS-Be, added bonus being ability to adjust suction.

Great Hoover, excellent suction power, the extre long hose is fab, as well as the long cord I can plug it in one end of the static carnage and it goes all the way through without having to unplug, best Hoover I have bought
