Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Vax VS-190U Swift Ultra
-
is it good for hard floor or lemanate floor too. let me know plz
-
It's ok on hard floors I suppose, although to be honest I've tended to use the hose part with the brush for this afterwards just to make sure use got everything up. It's quite a powerful Hoover considering it's so lightweight. We've got some rooms carpeted and some wooden floorboards and I've no complaints so hope that helps:)
-
The Vax VS-190U Swift Ultra, is an excellent hoover on carpet or lemanate flooring, i have not had any problems at all.
-
I have both Lamanet and carpet floors in my home and works well on both. Hope that answers your question
-
-
I did not get a manual of how to fix the cleamer in the box and I am advised that I need to contact Tesco Tech Services for any enquiry. Do you know if this information is available online or is it easy to setup
-
It is fairly easy, if you send me your email I will send you a copy of mine if that's any help to you?
-
Hi,
The Vax VS-190U swift Ultra, is very easy to put together, simply take all the parts out of the box and you will see it is very logical and simple.
If i had not problem putting it together im sure everyone else will be fine.
Regards

-
my mum is 83 do you think she will be able to use this hoover
-
no this hoover is very heavy
-
it depends on how agile she is - my aunt is 81 and she would be able to use this hoover even if slightly out of breath - who isnt ! - I bought it solely for cleaning the car and stairs -it sits neatly on the stair tread with good range of suction for daily use
