Place your hand over the hole located on the top right hand side of the machine, this is where the lid of the dirt container is normally attached to. There are several accessories included with the Vax U85-AS-Pme Air Stretch. These aren’t the highest quality tools we’ve reviewed, but are good enough for most tasks.

The Vax Mach Air Revive UCA2GEV1 is another budget upright vacuum. We’ve included it on this list as it does a great job of removing pet hair and is decent at cleaning carpets, making it a solid choice in this price range. Most Vax vacuums are at the lower end of the price scale. This makes them a great choice if you’re on a budget, as many of the company’s vacuums provide excellent value for money.

As you would expect from a vacuum cleaner in this price range, there are a few downsides to the Vax Mach Air Revive though. While it’s a solid option for cleaning carpets and great for pet hair, it’s less effective on hard floors. We also would have liked a longer power cord, as the seven-metre cord feels restrictive.

We found that the Vax Air Lift Steerable Pet provides strong all-round performance for the price – particularly for people with cats or dogs. It’s never going to match the best upright vacuums for cleaning performance, but we think it’s hard to beat in this price range. We don’t think it’s the most manoeuvrable vacuum on the market, but the steerable design does help when vacuuming around the home. We also like that it has a lightweight cylinder that can be lifted from the main body for easier stair cleaning, which helps solve a common issue for upright vacs. Let’s take a closer look at the Vax U85-AS-Pme design, performance, and ease of use.
