Vax Power Plus Hand Held Gator - Pets

Needed constant charging as self discharge was unbelievable. Then the thing nearly caught fire. Case melted. Resistors and pcb inside burnt due to poorly designed charge circuit which couldn't safely deal with dead batteries. VAX would not look at it...

Battery life is laughable, suction is pathetic. Don't waste your money. The only thing this product is very good at is wasting electricity as you charge it. After being on charge for a whole day you get about 30 seconds of full speed then it drops of...

From the beginning, it never had great suction and 7 minutes is not enough to vacuum out the car, etc. After less than a year the run time was terrible and now it hardly works at all. Unless there is a super cheap battery replacement option it is going...

purchased to use after sweeping the floor, from the very beginning it wouldn't pick up sand or tiny stones the kids had walked into the house, sounded powerful but really wasn't, paid $120 for it, but had to continue with my old broken dust buster...

y place this VAX works decently is in the advertising on the box & its the biggest sales exaggeration of all time. My dear old dad once told me that you should never believe the sales pitch from a vacuum cleaner company or an Oil company. And his...

The Vax was my first handheld, and for the first 8 months of its life it served me well, i enjoyed using it and had no complaints. But after the novelty wore off and I stopped using it daily or even weekly I found the battery life dwindled noticeably...

Was a good vac for 14 months then the battery failed. Two years warranty on the vac, 12 months warranty on the battery. Battery last about 2 minutes. Goes flat just without even using it. Second think is who on earth using Ni cad batteries in this day...

I have used another brand of a dust buster for 5 years with no problem. This unit is to heavy for a hand held action and not at all versatile and the retailer would not take it back after I had opened the box. Further, the front slips off easily but...

a good brand but the technology in this one really isn't up to scratch. I still use my old cheaper hand held vacuum for the heavier jobs even though it is 10 years old, has a lower voltage, as it has a much better performance. The rotating brush is...

Power runs out after just one use (less than 2 years old), front of vacuum falls off all the time spilling filter and entire contents on the floor. Purchased to use in my car, but now I lug my big Vax outside and use it instead. Not at all happy with...
