Vax HomePro Detect Pet-Design Dual Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

It's sold through Vax's official UK store. Prices vary by retailer and over time, so check current listings for today's price. Check the retailer for the current price, as it can change. At that price you get two ONEPWR 4.0Ah batteries rather than the single battery found on cheaper HomePro Detect Pet-Design siblings, which is how this model reaches its stated maximum runtime of 90 minutes rather than the 45 minutes typical of single-battery variants. The package also includes a 5-year machine warranty and a 3-year battery warranty on registration, plus pet-focused tools like the Motorised Pet Tool and Pet Hair Remover. Since promotional pricing can revert, it's worth confirming the price is still live before ordering.

Vax states up to 90 minutes on the maximum runtime setting, using the two included 4.0Ah ONEPWR batteries rather than the single battery found on related single-battery HomePro Detect Pet-Design models. A full charge takes around 180 minutes (3 hours) using the included 1.5A charger. Vax hasn't published a separate minimum runtime figure for the lowest power setting, so actual time between charges on the highest suction mode will be shorter than the 90-minute maximum. At 3.5kg and with a 0.7L dust cup, the DebrisDetect feature automatically adjusts suction when it senses more debris, which will also affect how much of that 90-minute ceiling you actually get in practice on heavily soiled carpet.

It uses two-stage washable filtration, but Vax has not confirmed whether this includes a HEPA-rated filter, so that claim can't be verified from available data. The suction and noise figures quoted for this model (164 AW max / 40 AW normal, up to 72.8dB) actually come from an independent lab test of the related single-battery HomePro Detect Pet-Design model rather than this exact Dual SKU, since Vax doesn't publish its own AW figures. Being washable at least means no recurring filter-replacement cost across the 5-year machine warranty. If certified HEPA filtration for allergy management is essential, this model's unconfirmed status is a genuine gap worth checking directly with Vax before buying.

No, it has a manual 0.7L dust cup and does not include a self-emptying dock, which means more frequent attention than higher-capacity or auto-empty rivals, particularly given this model's long 90-minute maximum runtime could otherwise support an extended cleaning session before needing to stop. The compact bin size is a trade-off Vax has made to keep the machine at a lightweight 3.5kg despite carrying two 4.0Ah batteries rather than one. There's also no app control on this model. If self-emptying convenience matters more to you than the dual-battery runtime advantage, it's worth comparing other Vax vacuum cleaners or cordless stick vacuums that include an auto-empty dock instead.

Vax provides a 5-year guarantee on the machine and a 3-year guarantee on the batteries, provided the product is registered with Vax. Battery coverage is a meaningful inclusion here since this model relies on two ONEPWR 4.0Ah batteries to reach its 90-minute maximum runtime, and batteries are typically the component most likely to need replacing over a multi-year period. This warranty length is generous, though registering promptly after purchase is required to secure the full battery term rather than a shorter default. The 5-year machine cover also applies to the two-stage washable filtration and DebrisDetect suction-adjustment feature.
