Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Vax VS-190U Swift Ultra

  1. is it good for hard floor or lemanate floor too. let me know plz
    surjit asked on
    1. 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:)

    2. The Vax VS-190U Swift Ultra, is an excellent hoover on carpet or lemanate flooring, i have not had any problems at all.
      Tina replied on
       
    3. I have both Lamanet and carpet floors in my home and works well on both. Hope that answers your question
      May replied on
       
  2. 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
    Demi asked on
    1. 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?

    2. 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

  3. my mum is 83 do you think she will be able to use this hoover

    sue asked on
    1. no this hoover is very heavy
      tony replied on
       
    2. 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
