This Vax vacuum cleaner was a great test of its effectiveness, especially considering how much my dog sheds
I've been using the VAX HomePro detect pet-design cordless vacuum cleaner for a few weeks now, and it has completely transformed the way I manage pet hair in my home. As a pet owner, I was constantly battling shedding, but this vacuum makes it so much easier. The hairwrap resist technology is a game-changer; it stops long, short, and pet hair from wrapping around the brush roll, so maintenance is minimal.
Emptying the bin is ultra-hygienic and simple, just slide it open to eject the dirt, and with a 0.7L capacity, I can clean larger areas without constantly stopping. I also feel confident knowing the two-stage filtration captures 99.9% of dust so my home stays much cleaner.

The battery life is fantastic. With the removable battery, I can clean for up to 45 minutes, which is more than enough for my living spaces. The bright integrated LEDs are surprisingly handy, highlighting dust and pet hair in corners I might otherwise miss.
I also love the protective bumper around the floorhead. It lets me clean right up to edges without worrying about bumps, and the vacuum can self-stand temporarily on hard floors if I need a short break.
The only drawback is that, because the battery is attached, the vacuum feels a bit heavy and bulky, especially during longer cleaning sessions or when tackling stairs. Still, the combination of powerful suction, thoughtful design, and excellent pet hair handling makes this a small trade-off.
Overall, the VAX HomePro Detect Pet-Design is perfect for pet owners who want a cordless vacuum that really works. It’s thorough, hygienic, and makes cleaning up after pets far less of a chore.
