Vax ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Unboxing & First Look

[@Bond2025]

Thanks for saving me from wasting my money! All the reviews on their site must be inaccurate.

[@marywilson7583]

I had a cordless Dyson wasn’t impressed .I now have a Vax and love it ,picks up a lot better .30 -12-22 !

[@lindawarner9627]

I have just bought one, I should have watched your video first.

[@paulillingworth1242]

Almost identical to the Blade 2 Max (brushless motor) I got in end of 2018, same bin and cyclone, still have it it’s an ok machine, I paid £279 for mine at the time, it came with a flexi hose and extra tools, the handle position when using can cause wrist ache, the filter stays fairly clear, I have a spare for when one is drying, problems since buying had to get a new bin from vax in 2021 old one started to crack and had to have a new brush bar in 2021, but it’s still in service for daily cleans and the car, overall not a bad machine for a Vax, and it’s price point, to be fair I’d buy another, 4 things I’d change is handle and the squealing motor as it’s aged, cyclone shroud get hair and dirt stuck and the hopeless wall mount, but it still working ok despite age (3 and bit years) on a modern machine. Ps the whistling is the suction relief valve triggering on model i have.

[@kaxwu]

Can you tell me if you can rinse under running water the cyclone shroud in the bin section?

[@paulillingworth1242]

@@kaxwu yes I have rinsed under warm water it has always been ok .

[@josephgittos3787]

I have one and had it for years and still good , I had to replace the head unit due to wife not placing brush roller in right that caused it to wear it away but still only £30 so parts are pretty cheap. I have never had a hose splitting issue and cant understand the strip coming off his model

[@mymclews]

I do wish I had watched this before I ordered mine. I have used a Dyson previously but thought I would give Vax a go as Dyson are too expensive now. With great excitement I put it together immediately. It is very heavy (I have arthritis) and after I used it, I went over the carpet with my old Dyson and that picked up pet hair that the Vax missed

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Nice Unboxing and demo Roger . Surprising that strip came loose after one use . Looking forward to seeing how you go after a wks use 👍👍

[@fueledbyregret]

I had the Vax Blade 2 Max Pet. It was very poorly made. The plastic hose in the floor head (you pointed out) split within a few months, but VAX did replace it. The joints between all the connections (handle, wand, floor head) became very loose leading to loss of suction, and the filters needed washing every fortnight - not every three months. We've a small two bed apartment with a non-shedding dog. Eventually gave up and moved to a Shark Cordless LiftAway ICT160.

[@Retro_andy_1977]

Just got a blade 3 and all seems well....for now.looking forward to using it Looks very similar to the blade 4 Roger.

[@maryclairelayton3248]

After one very short use I checked the brush bar as the main head did look particularly dusty. Not only did the dust 'stick around' in the clear plastic head, it really did gather around the spindle. I had to take a small soft paintbrush to both ends of the brush bar and where they slot into the housing. In my older Dyson hand held this is the sort of cleaning task I only had to do every few months so I am worried if dust gets into the mechanism so easily it will cause damage before too many more uses. Considering returning this as a result.

[@ibaisaic]

Return it if you can and save the inevitable calls to Vax when it goes wrong.

[@susieadams1553]

I wish I had watched this video before ordering one - I am so disappointed in mine - I always rated Vax in the past as I still have the original orange corded hoover /carpet washer which is still going strong as it has such a good build quality. I think the bean counters have been let loose on this range sacrificing quality over function ality . My husband says it sounds like it's singing Crazy Horses as it's so loud ! Lol

[@ibaisaic]

Unfortunately the Vax company that made the original orange 3in1 no longer exists. The brand is now owned by a company based in Hong Kong and sells products made in China.

[@kaxwu]

I bought one after Which? recommend it . I will never trust their reviews again! This was the worst £250 I’ve spent ever 😡

[@craglabrake6802]

Definitely some improvements to be made, yet hopefully improvements will be made one day! Marvelous job!

[@scottd1432]

I had the USA version, nearly identical minus the mini motorized tool and the brushless motor. Like you, I found it quite awkward to hold and strangely weighted. And without the brushless motor, the suction was very mediocre. Despite that it did clean well. Ultimately I returned mine after I found the side of the cleanerhead where the belt ran was getting very hot (as in, too hot to hold) and the end of the brushbar was just beginning to distort and melt. That was after a week or so in a small flat with no pets and no long hair. I returned that one and got a replacement from the store, but it did the exact same thing. Finally returned it for my money back. That was a couple years ago now, hope it was just an early run manufacturing error.

[@parwaz7861]

Would you give them another chance a few years down the line? 😜

[@scottd1432]

@@parwaz7861 Nah I don't think so, even if it was perfectly reliable I've used a bunch of machines since which outclass it and seem easier to use. Maybe if I could get the brushless motor version very very cheaply I would try again but not for a real price.

[@GrumpyMansREVIEWS]

Your right about the head, it is light. Great work as usual!

[@lisag4360]

Thank you for this video,I was thinking about buying one. I have a old vax pet compact but its given up. Looking at a cheapish stick any recommendations?

[@wendybriant6907]

mine has a picture on the drum, says run under a tap but needs to be completly dry before you use it

[@janepilbeam2534]

I bought this Vax direct from company. Free delivery next day .I found it picked up so much in one go .But two things I did not like .one yes the felt strip started to come away on very first use. Two the brush blade also on first use was absolutely bound with hair and will have to be removed everytime used. 😢. I was going to consider a Shark but was told as its an American make that parts would be more expensive. The other delight though was because I bought direct received the flexi hose and other tools free.

[@elizabethedwards511]

Wish I had seen this before buying. It is quite heavy and also the strip on the brush started to peel off.

[@NeilHunter-js3hv]

Should I get this or the Henry Quick? I can’t decide.

[@tonileesings-123]

Cheers for review. Its a no from me too. Nearly ordered it. Phew!!

[@theoh7389]

hello do you think i should get a dyson v6 or vax slim vac. Thank you

[@arebrec]

Great video. So glad I watched this before thinking about buying one. I might put up with the added expense and get a Dyson Omni-glide.

[@ibaisaic]

I assume you have no carpet if you’re thinking of getting the Omni Glide.

[@arebrec]

@@ibaisaic Yes, no carpet.

[@MrDbone75]

A good Friday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset

[@scottbutcher9093]

I think we'll see this one on Ebay in the future.

[@dylanlobban1627]

Or your local recycling centre

[@bigo93]

Bought one last year, and agree you should not buy this, or anything from Vax! Almost exactly one year and BOTH of my batteries show up as being defective on the same day! 3 year warranty means Vax has replaced them, but to have both die on the same day... Even emailed Vax about my concerns, so far they have not replied at all! Been over 2 weeks! And now to top it off, the motorised brush has overheated! I came to this video to see if the bulge on the motor side was there by design, it is not! So now I have to contact them again about replacing the brush! So until the 3 year warranty is up all I see is Vax having to, by law, replace all the items which become defective. After the warranty expires Vax simply will not give a damn!

[@observer626]

I had the same issue with the velour strip, Now the brush keeps stalling. Phoning them tomorrow. I tried last week but could never get through!

[@hrisia6069]

thanks for saving me money :D it looks expensive and bad,and my carpet is similar to this on the video ,so I'm glad I watched this video

[@ryanhawkins1235]

It would be great if Vax would release the OnePwr bagged cordless machine that is based off the Oreck uprights. In the Stated you can get a OnePwr Hoover or Oreck bagged machine and they are the same unit for the most part but the Hoover sells for less. I have the Hoover and really like it. Great carpet lines really feels like I am using a plug in Oreck.

[@patriciabarasch8353]

I also wish I had seen this video before buying. I was deciding between the Shark and Vax and chose the Vax and am so disappointed with it. I had six weeks use out of it but now it is broken. Only the middle light for carpet works - no hard floor or boost mode. I have lights but no power. I am trying to contact Vax which is a not going well. I registered my machine but was told I was not on the system. However, I sent them the guarantee that was emailed to me. No response. I need to subscribe to this channel.

[@adamcaan2606]

Hi I have a Vax Blade 2 will the floor head tool for the blade 4 pet version fit my blade 2?

[@CeriClark]

Hello, what are your views on the cordless Shark Anti-hair wrap stick vs the Blade 4 Pet and car? I notice the Vax has a hose but I'm not sure if that makes it better? I know it's subjective but I wondered what you thought. 😀

[@ibaisaic]

I would get a Shark over a Vax any day of the week.

[@CeriClark]

@@ibaisaic Do you know if you can get a hose for the shark?

[@ibaisaic]

Most models have an optional car detailing kit that includes a thin hose and tool kit.

[@davidmatson7859]

I would get a vax blade 2 max vacuum lol 😂😂

[@annthomas3123]

Thank you very much! 😀

[@adam8892]

Thank you. Saved me a few quid. I will give this one a miss.

Keep up the good job on here mate how are u OK mate keep up there good work on here mate

[@somerobotdude7598]

The design and color scheme reminds me of the Tron Legacy movie, a bit flashy even for vax

[@isaachoward8766]

I hate polystyrene the sound of it when scratches or Squeeks goes right few me and up and down my spine

[@verygoodbrother]

I bought this vac as a secondary cleaner and honestly it's not even decent as "top-up" cleaner.

[@patrickward4214]

Do not think you gave wasted your money as I hsve got the blade 3 and I just use mine for qick pickups and never use turbo I use speed one and only use turbo to finish off were I need to clean then go back to speed one again and I love mine as I have registered it so am covered then then rhsycsn send me a replacement for 000000000 as its on the garrentee

[@kaxwu]

Can anyone tell me if you can rinse the cyclone shroud (from the bin section) under running water?

[@berniekennedy9793]

Just got this HEAVY upper half not great suction prefer vax corded

[@The-Elfin-Knight]

I used to piggy back the dusting brush onto the crevice tool.

[@sejautie]

What about bissell icon pet

[@The-Elfin-Knight]

This is exactly the same as my previous Blade 2 other than the removable battery. Rubbish. Gave that away to a pensioner who needed something light.

[@natashaturnham1166]

What about pet hair

[@asharahmad843]

Bro this price I could get my electric scooter but my parents thought that this is better😂😂

[@jagro9732]

A cordless vacuum can never replace a corded one. As much as they tell you it can.... It cannot. Batteries fade on cordless machines and die after 2 years... So basically after 2 years you have to spend on a new battery. Also not very environmentally friendly as batteries don't just decompose naturally. I'll always go for a corded machine

[@verygoodbrother]

@Marc Allan Leslie Then it's not fit for purpose if you have to constantly use the max suction to get the job done.

[@RJA_World]

@Marc Allan Leslie I have a V15 and medium is usually sufficient

[@MrHair143]

I have a pet and child, absolutely rubbish complete waste of my money less than a year old and now looking at another cordless. Started looking at your reviews and hopefully the shark looks a lot better. I found with the vax any dirt on my hard floor it flicks it in different directions rather than suck it up. I had a birthday party for my little one and there was confetti on the hard floor. It didn’t do well and if it tried to remove on boost when I reused it again it was just stuck in the head. And confetti is quite like. So it would advise against if you have kids or dogs. Not great

[@AudioGraphics]

Need The update! please

[@ibaisaic]

I’ll do one as soon as I’ve glued it back together. Spoiler alert, don’t buy one.

[@AudioGraphics]

@@ibaisaic Haha. Thanks Looked at one in the shops and one of the wheels fell off. Looks like I'll be getting a shark IZ201

[@evangelinemahendran4924]

First

[@donalbennett3401]

None of the Vax 4 qualities matter when the battery stops working and it’s only over a year old so the warranty doesn’t cover a replacement one.Customer service were casual about the fact that the battery had gone and £70 was acceptable for the new one.I might as well bought a proper mains Hoover instead of this cheap Chinese toy. Its a Con

[@ibaisaic]

If you want something that will last, I would recommend a Sebo Felix.

[@pennyfinzel738]

This is a terrible machine. I find the tools are really hard to un-slot. I have to pull and pull with all my might in order to pull apart. it is very heavy too. often it takes me around ten minutes or more to reconnect the dust bin. Extremely hard to line up and slot back into the main stick. I have used it ten times since my purchase in May 2023. I chose the 4 Blade Pet Vax for use in a gentleman's country house just once a week.

[@Makemineadoubles]

Bought the blade 5, my foot collects more dirt than this hoover. It's garbage
