Review: Vax U86ANBE Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Guest blog by Carlton.

The new Vax U86ANBE bagless upright vacuum cleaner is incredibly easy to use. I set it up in no time and was soon ready to set about cleaning the carpets and hard floors.

The first thing I noticed is that it has a very convenient, easy to operate foot button that releases the main body. This initial ease-of-use, combined with its light weight (weighing in a fraction over 5kg), means that this would be an ideal vacuum cleaner for someone who either finds it difficult (or frustrating) to lift heavy vacuum cleaners up and down stairs. It is also nice and easy to manoeuvre due to the strong rear wheels. If space is at a premium you can compact the Vax U86 via a button which allows the handle this you push to be folded down – perfect when you want to store it away.

Cyclonic power helps to use all the power to increase performance on both carpets and hard floors, ensuring an effortless clean between hard floors and carpets. The power-saving design also means this vacuum is A rated for energy – good for the environment and your bills, too!

It has a tough well-built floor beater-bar which has two main functions. First, it aligns the cleaning brushes right to the edge of the head and secondly, the deep cleaning beater-bar and the cyclonic power work together to effectively raise the pile of the carpet, helping to lift out the dirt and dust.

Because it is so lightweight and compact it is easy to use on stairs and to move from room to room. It has an 8 metre cord which makes it easier to move around your home without restrictions. The vacuum is also bagless with a large 2L capacity. This vacuum cleaner comes with a crevice tool which allows you to clean those pesky hard-to-reach places. The cord on this machine is easily stored by wrapping around the back of the vacuum with well positioned hooks.

My super swift summary of this vacuum it is upright, light, incredibly easy to use, bagless, 8 meters of cord, offers a fold-down handle for storage and has the ability to buy a pro cleaning kit as an extra to make your vacuum a one stop all-use cleaner.
