A powerful cordless vacuum designed specifically for tackling pet hair has been reduced by 50%, with its strong suction giving leading brands like Shark a run for their money. The Vax Blade 4 Classic Pet & Car Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is now available from Argos for £130, down from £260.
Features and Performance
One of its standout features is the ability to transform into a handheld vacuum, making it ideal for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and tight spaces in cars. It comes with a range of accessories, including a Flexi Crevice Tool, Pet Tool, and Fine Dusting Brush, all designed to make cleaning more efficient, especially when dealing with stubborn pet hair or hard-to-reach areas.
Powered by a removable battery, the vacuum delivers up to 45 minutes of runtime, allowing for uninterrupted cleaning sessions without the restriction of a cord. When extra power is needed, a boost mode delivers up to three times the suction at the touch of a button for deeper cleaning performance.
Despite its strong performance, the vacuum remains lightweight at just 3.1kg, making it easy to manoeuvre around the home and up and down stairs. Its 0.6L dust bin is designed for simple emptying, helping reduce interruptions during cleaning, while the washable filter helps maintain long-term suction efficiency.
Versatility and Comparisons
Suitable for a wide range of surfaces including carpets, rugs, hard floors, laminate, upholstery, and stairs, it is a versatile cleaning tool for busy households. A motorised floor head helps lift embedded dirt, while the dedicated pet tool is especially useful for removing hair from furniture and flooring.
A popular Shark alternative is the Shark PowerPro Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum with Anti Hair Wrap & Floor Detect for £189.99, down from £279.99. It features anti-hair wrap technology that separates and removes pet hair from the brush roll as people clean, as well as FloorDetect technology, which automatically alters the vacuum's suction depending on the surface it is on.
Currys has the Samsung Jet Pet Max Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Pet Tool for £249 down from £429, saving buyers £180 on their purchase. This one is similarly ideal for pet owners and allergy sufferers, and it has a 60-minute run time.
Customer Reviews
The Vax Blade vacuum cleaner has a high rating on Argos, with 86% of shoppers recommending the product. One five-star review said: 'There is great suction for every surface, but my main purpose for purchasing this vacuum cleaner was for lifting dog hair, from a German shepherd, which is fantastic.'
Another added: 'A nice little vacuum with all the great accessories and very good battery power.' A third commented: 'So easy to use and I know my carpets are clean. I have had a Vax vacuum in the past, and I have found them of excellent quality.'
Some people disagreed slightly as one four-star review said: 'Brought this for my mother, she wanted a light cordless vacuum that does the job, but the front is a bit small. I could do with it being bigger.'
Another added: 'Effective, efficient machine. The dust bin soon fills and needs a bit of poking to fully empty.' The Vax Blade 4 Classic Pet & Car Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is available from Argos.
