I purchased a VAX HomePro Cordless Hoover in April of this year and I can honestly day it's absolute rubbish! The suction was good for about a month and then despite cleaning regularly it's just not as good. In the last month it makes a loud whistling noise when it's in high power mode and just last week it just shuts itself off constantly even when the battery is fully charged. I'm beyond irritated and annoyed! I want a full refund and I want to get something else. I had a cordless hoover in london for 4 years for a fraction of the cost which was way better. Don't waste your money!
