Our verdict
The Vax HomePro Pet-Design vacuum cleaner is a good versatile: there are several attachments for everything, from the furniture to the stairs, simple controls, an illuminated floor with bumpers to protect the furniture and a trash can that do not force you to place a mess of disorderly hair with your fingers. Yet as beautifully designed as that, it is quite heavy as a pocket computer. In addition, Turbo mode eats in execution, which suggests that it could be worth investing in another battery if you prefer large cleaning and maintenance.

The household appliances are clean with the unfortunate warning they themselves need to continue doing the job properly. Historically, even the best vacuum cleaners have been a chore to maintain, hooves of headboard bins linked to hair.
Vax HomePro pet design vacuum cleaner does almost everything that is possible to fight against a lot of maintenance, by exchanging traditional brushes for a thick brush roast which is resistant to hair envelope and a tank with a lever that completely ejects the content.
This, the more the attachments for each area of your home, a flexible tube to dive with low furniture, and the possibility of self-stand rather than overthrow when you let go, make a versatile machine for easy and clumsy work.

Design and build
- Foldable wand
- Simple controls
- Easy
The design of the Vax HomePro makes it a problem of problems with a vacuum cleaner. For example, if your problem is to clean under the furniture, its main tube has a smart slide / stocking section which allows it to bend so that it can bend 90 degrees, before turning into a stick sufficiently stable to self-stabilize for short periods.

Likewise, if your problem is the resulting ICK to have to prick your fingers in a hoof of hair and debris in the vacuum cleaner tray, there is no need here.

A depressed button to empty the 700 ml tank without having to detach it from the engine, while a sliding section removes the persistent mess. The above filter appears for washing, so the tank does not have to be deleted for access.

Its floor head is also well designed, with lights to help you locate dirt, a brush roll with fins and fibers to prevent the hair tray and a bumper outside to stop the stripes along the plinth and furniture legs.

For those who do not like complicated checks, they are minimal here: a button for / deactivated, one for turbo mode and a bar that checks to show you the quantity of battery that remains. The 4.0H battery itself comes off for the load with a small charger separated from the wall support, which means that it is not necessary to have a plug available nearby.

But the vacuum cleaner must be mounted. Although self-exception is a neat tip for breaks between cleaning, it cannot be stored in this way. Overall, HomePro weighs 3.5 kg, most of this concentrated at the top, so it would be easy to overthrow it while being stored. Fortunately, it does not take too much wall space, because it measures H116 x W22 x D25cm.
Performances and features
- Comfortable to use
- Tall floor
- The battery life could be better
Some of the easiest to use products are those where the experience has been carefully considered, and this is mainly true for the HomePro Pet design. It is full of features to vacuum and keep it without hassle. For example, the control panel has large buttons and a clear guide of remaining power: ideal for those who have a visual impairment or anyone who has trouble reading screens in bright light.
We also liked that you could throw it on and turn off with a thumb while holding the handle. Turbo requires more scope, which means that you should consciously choose high power mode rather than taking it by accident. In addition, it is not necessary to select a type of floor.
Overall, it is comfortable to push: there is a generous -sized handle, and even in turbo mode on the carpet, not so much the suction that the head of the floor is stuck.
Each attachment is labeled – you remember what it is that when the instructions inevitably disappear – and it is easy to click on each of them and deactivate. A bag for storage of tools is included.
The flexible wand of the main tube is particularly intelligent: while certain tubes of certain rivals are articulated to allow this, all that HomePro needs is that the lid slips to release it and descend to get involved. We found it easy to walk, although we have noted that even if it easily swivel from one side to the other, too much angle will make the head of the ground lifts slightly. The head of the ground itself is also a little larger than some – while it is a short work on large areas of floor coverings, it is more difficult to maneuver around the table and chair legs.
We tested the Vax HomePro Pet-Design vacuum cleaner on hard and soft floors, using flour to represent fine dust, and oat like bigger debris. On the hard ground, the two were easily sucked in standard mode, with a few necessary passes for full care, but the majority were removed in a single pass.
On the carpet halfway, the standard mode was sufficient for picking up flour, but we needed turbo to assure ourselves completely with oats because the standard tended to drop them slightly on the rear line. We noted flour glued to brush fibers, but there was no hair rolled around our household, and all the fur was in the tank.
We also tried the animal hair tool and the motorized animal hair tool on a padded sofa. We found the hair hair tool effective, but it can be heavy on the aspiration and we thought it was better for difficult jobs on firmer surfaces. The motorized PET tool has produced better results, because not only has it pivoted, but it has raised the hair of pets. That said, we found the HomePro that is quite heavy to use as a pocket computer for more than a few minutes.
Our main concern was the battery life. Although HomePro manufacturers indicate a 45 -minute execution time, this is based on standard mode using an un -dried tool. Realisticly, if you use the head of the floor and the turbo power, you can reduce this to more than 25 minutes. The battery is however removable, and you can buy a spare part in Vax for £ 79.99. But this considerably increases the price of the void.
One last aspect to note is how easy it is to keep the vacuum cleaner clean. The brush roll is released with a twist, which facilitates the cleaning of any mess inside, while the emptying of bins effectively ejected the content.
Price and availability
VAX PET HomePro design is widely available in the United Kingdom. Although he has an RRP of £ 319, he is available from a number of retailers for £ 199. See at this Amazon, Currys and Vax price. If you buy from Vax, it comes with an additional toolbox which, according to Vax, is worth £ 50. Essentially, you will get more attachments than if you buy on Amazon.
At this price, this is a very good value option, with a set of features that you expect on a much more expensive model. But if it is not the right vacuum cleaner for you, take a look at our overview of the best vacuum cleaners that we have tested for our best recommendations.
Should you buy Pet Vax HomePro design?
Although this is not a perfect package, the design of Pet-Design Vax HomePro gets a lot of things: it is easy to use, simple to maintain and as versatile as they come. At this price, you would be hard to find a machine that offers a clean house, moving easily between the floors, furniture, soft furniture, stairs and pets.
The only real problem can be the battery. By not providing a second, the cleaning horizons are slightly limited and you may need to use its turbo mode sparingly or take into account the recharge time. For vacuum cleaners of the weekend, a spare part can be a wise addition to this otherwise equipped machine.
