VAX VS-190R Swift Reach Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

With its extra-long stretch hose reaching to a maximum of 10.2 metres, the VAX VS-190R is an upright vacuum cleaner ideal for both general home and stair cleaning. The length of the stretch hose on this model makes it easy for you to access all those far-away nooks and crannies on the staircase, while its treads and risers tool makes it the perfect upright vacuum cleaner to deal with other difficult to clean parts of the stairs.

VAX uses patented technology in its household cleaning appliances, and this is one of VAX’s upright vacuum cleaners with HEPA (High Efficient Particle Arrester) filtration. This is a high level of filtration which means that those smaller particles of dust and dirt are easily trapped. This filtration system makes this upright vacuum cleaner perfect for households with allergy sufferers. And any pet lovers will also be impressed with the VS-190R, as its Turbotool technology makes this an upright vacuum cleaner that has no trouble in picking up pet hairs. The VS-190R’s Turbotool is also effective in cleaning upholstery and car interiors, and is stored on-board for convenience, together with the additional tools of an extension tube, and a crevice tool.  

The one drawback to the VS-190R is that it’s not suitable to use on hardwood floors. However, this particular upright vacuum cleaner more than makes up for not being able to deal with hardwood floors by being equipped with a carpet height adjuster, making it able to deal with all types of carpet pile and carpet thickness.  

The VS-190R is a highly manoeuvrable 1600W upright vacuum cleaner. It weighs in at 6kg and is bagless, so not only is it lightweight but its bagless technology means you will never have to buy vacuum bags ever again! It has a cleaning width of 29cm and comes in a smart looking black finish.

VAX VS-190P Swift Pet Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

You don’t have to be a pet-owner to appreciate the beauty of this upright vacuum cleaner. Whether you have hard-to-suction pet hairs on your upholstery or not, this powerful 1800W model works just as well at general house cleaning and vacuuming the stairs as it does suctioning off pet hairs.

This upright model’s Turbotool, which is conveniently placed onboard the cleaner, is not only ideal for dealing with stray pet hairs left on upholstery, but works just as well on carpeted stairs and in car interiors. The Turbotool is air driven which means that the cleaner’s brushbar revolves at high speed with the bristles thereby making it ideal for picking up pet hairs and other small particles of dirt and dust from stairs, upholstery, and car interiors.

However, if your main concern is how to deal with hairs left around your home by your pets, and you want an upright vacuum cleaner to help with this problem, then this could be the one. Because as well as the Turbotool, this upright vacuum cleaner also houses a carbon filtration additive which helps to neutralise pet odours, so not only will it leave your house cleaner, but it will also help banish those unmistakable pet smells. And even if your household is pet-free, you may still want to invest in this upright vacuum cleaner for its anti-bacterial filter, which is effective in combating bacteria in the home.

The VS-190P Swift Pet is a lightweight cleaner weighing just 6kg. This upright model’s dust capacity is three litres and because this is a bagless upright, it means you don’t have to worry whether you’ve bought the right vacuum cleaner bags for it – in fact, you don’t have to worry about buying vacuum cleaner bags ever again.

This upright vacuum cleaner won’t clean hardwood floors, however, but it will clean carpets, upholstery, and carpeted stairs. Its cleaning width (the width of the cleaning head of the vacuum) is 29 cm, and being a lightweight upright, it’s easily manoeuvred which will help when cleaning stairs and transporting it outside, if necessary, when vacuuming the interior of your car.

The VS-190P Swift Pet also has HEPA (High Efficient Particle Arrester) filtration helping to trap smaller particles of dust and dirt, which most allergy-sufferers will very much appreciate.

As well as the Turbotool’s effective way of dealing with pet hairs, this is an upright vacuum cleaner than can also help you get into those awkward corners thanks to its on-board crevice tool. As well as being able to get down the sides of sofas and up close against skirting boards, this tool is ideal for use inside cars.

While you can’t use this upright vacuum cleaner on hardwood floors, it does have an auto carpet height adjust facility which makes it suitable for use on all types of carpet pile.

The total reach of the VS-190P Swift Pet is 8.5 metres, and the power cable length stretches to a maximum of 7 metres. As well as the crevice tool, the on-board tools include a stretch hose, and an extension tube. This VAX upright model is available in a stylish black and silver finish.
