Pet VAX, just ordered one, is it any good??

Zoetoes

Hi

Just ordered this, in sale from £150 to £75 then I used 10% off code, I ordered from Littlewoods but Argos also have it half price.

Anyone know if it's any good? A lot of the Vax models seem to be going cheap, any particular reason for this?

i like our pet vax, got it last year from an online shop i now forget the name of, but cost me £100, and i thought that was good.
I like the big vax's though.

Other than that i'd agree with ukjoel about henrys. I like my vax, it's similar to the big orange vax my MIL had for years before hand. But I don't know about the newer models.

I had a vax - never again. it couldn't cope with the dog hair and I only have wooden floors. Have a miele cat & dog now and it is so much better.

Think I saw this in sainsburys for about £50.00.
Has it got dalmation spots on it?
MIght be getting it muddled up.

car i bought a pet vax from argos last may and actually threw it in the bin today as it is useless, my partner has complained about it from the outset and i resorted to a dust pan and Brush to hoover my car today, this was all it was used for as my home has no carpets and no pets. Bought it as i believed it to be hard working and a good bargain but was waste of money

Is it the one with the turbo nozzle attatchment? If so I bought one of these last year. I have 2 small, non moulting terriers and it cant cope with the hair. Im sick of having to get on my hands and knees and brush the ruddy floor.

I haven't got any dogs, got 2 cats but that wasn't really why I picked it, it was between this one and another in the sale but this one is bagless that's all.

My wifes a vet and every place she has ever worked had a couple of Henry Hoovers. We have 3 dogs and a cat and when our electroluxes gave up the ghost we replaced them with Henrys and no regrets.

I've got the pet Vax. Got it this time last year for the same price. Argos will put it back up to £150 soon, so it looks such a good deal in their next sale.

Its been ok. Plenty of attachments for different things. Quite powerful, so think its good for £75
