“Bought Vax platinum carpet cleaner. It seems to have a design fault. The float in the dirty water tank is too light; it stops the suction with no water in the tank. I needed to add extra weight to it to stop it being sucked up to the closed position with just the sir flow through the tank. Otherwise it's a good machine. Get this right Vax and you have a winner.”

“Vax are certainly off our radar. They are one of the worst companies I've had the misfortune to deal with. Basically, my 83-years-old mother-in-law paid out £100 plus for a Vax hoover last year but it was a poor performer so, because it was well within the 12month guarantee, we called Vax to explain the scenario and they said pack it up and return it. We did just that, only to be informed the mother-in-law was to blame for the hoover not working properly? You couldn't make it up. Not only did they decline to replace the machine, they refused to repair it as well though they did 'offer' a £20 discount on a shiny new Vax hoover. They're having a laugh at the expense of an old lady who barely has two pennies to rub together and it's an absolute disgrace.”

“Live chat what an absolute joke , after the bot establishing it couldn’t help me it then put me in contact with an advisor Jaimelee , after the painful process of explaining what was was wrong with the hoover she then proceeded to ask for a name and well after that i was left hanging in cyber space ! After countless attempts at typing hello is there anybody there ? With which i got no reply i decided to try the customer service help line well low and behold i was then told to email with details! Honestly what a joke the customer service is non existing and an absolute disgrace! I personally would not buy another hoover from them at any time in the future. I’ve only had this one since December 5 months later it’s not working.. absolutely useless company and product”

“I purchased a Vax late 2021. From the start the cordless hover did not pick up as well as expected. I got in touch with customer services (after a number of times trying to get through to them), then I was passed from pillow to post and felt like I was treated me with no respect, and felt like I wasn’t listened to when trying to explain everything that I had carried out, prior to contacting them. In the end I found out the problem was a split hose in the head of the hover! Which was very hard to see. They sent me a new head and I carried on using it and it still doesn’t pick up properly and now I am still struggling to remove the parts for easy access and cleaning. So I decided to complain again, and followed the process of carrying out all the checks and continue the communication back and forward, via email. Following all of this they want me to send it back, and if they don’t find a fault, I will have to pay for the service!! Then I received a letter in the post, regarding how to return it, stating that it was an easy process (I’ll let you the public decide that? see attached photo). Even though I have a disability I did have to try and do this myself and at no point was asked if this was ok to do this. No compassion or thoughtfulness at all!! Never ever again will I purchase from Vax. But I will keep the public informed Iv the outcome.”

“I had a faulty battery and contacted Vax customer services and spoke to Lee. He was extremely helpful and then decided the battery was faulty. I received a new one within 3 working days and now I realise how good the cleaner is. 10 out of 10.”

“I purchased a Vax Blade 4 Pet cordless vacuum in January 2021 and so far, the motorised floor head has broken 3 times. I have been given replacements although even a replacement arrived faulty. Latest issue is with the battery and charging unit. Despite having provided the battery serial number to Vax just after purchase, the person I have been dealing with is demanding it from me again. I can't provide it but as I took the dud battery to the recycling point and the rrp I have been dealing with is refusing to provide a replacement even though I have nearly 2 years left of my 3 year battery warranty. I was told I could buy a replacement battery on their website @£69.99! I requested an email address for the Complaints Department twice and have been ignored twice. (I have since found details independently). I do not recommend their product nor their Customer Service. Awful.”

“Purchased a VAX cordless in October 2020. Twice I have had faulty battery, the second time VAX refused to provide support despite being under warranty. The Customer Engagement team are more interested to close cases than review or provide support - even if covered under Consumer Rights Act 2015.”

“Guarantee, what Guarantee, In the first instance I received no reply for 10 days(not even an acknowledgement). Then I was given instruction on how to fix the cleaner myself, which I did without success. Another long wait before another acknowledge and I was advised to sent the cleaner back. I have another word for Fax starting with V --- Vexation”

“Wouldn’t even give them 1 but there is no less. Bought a carpet cleaner before Christmas from them, it’s great works brilliantly, except the handle literally snapped while using it. Trying to contact them is a nightmare, emailing all the information and they get back asking for the same information on a email address that can’t be contacted. The customer service is poor. Great carpet cleaner, just no handle for £300.”

“If I could give zero stars I would. This Hoover is awful, it barely picks anything up. It just pushes crumbs around. I had it 2 weeks and a wheel broke and feeling pretty dissatisfied I went and spent another £200 on a shark Hoover. Just to see how awful the vac was I hoovered the house with it then did a second vacuum with the shark. The shark dust tank was full!!! Don’t get me wrong, the vac did pick up dog hair but the suction is terrible so anything heavier than hair and you’re wasting your time. What amazes me is the hundreds of 5 star reviews?!”

“Spoke to vax about my faulty machine yesterday. It has a 2 year warranty and is only 1.5 years old. The connection from the hose to the floorhead is very poor so the brush won’t spin. Vax have said this problem is not under guarantee and would be a chargeable repair. It is apparently classed as wear and tear even though it’s electrical!! For a machine that was brand new and cost £150 I did expect it to last longer. I now know the word ‘Guarantee’ doesn’t mean a damn thing!! Won’t be buying my next one from Vax anyway.”

“The worst vax hoover ever.( blade ) i have had vax hoovers for over 30 years the blade pet doesn't pick up crums or bits off the floor but is good with dog hair. I have to weep up after I have hoovered up. Think that says it all about this product.”

“I bought a refurbished Vax 2 pwr directly from Vax. The battery soon failed. They sent another (after spending a long time hunting for an email) . The battery soon failed again. They refused to replace it as the original warranty on the machine, (not the battery) ran out by around a month. They refused to replace the battery. I had to write to them as they would answer numerous emails over that end month. They refused to send another and I haven't had a response again after asking to replace the battery as a gesture of goodwill as two batteries should not fail in 12 months and they didn't respond to my previous emails. They make it really difficult for you to contact them. ( see website) I have had no apology. Still waiting for a response about the battery. If they don't respond to this then you know not to buy from them”
