Gator H90-GA-B

Powerful handheld and very light to use. Easy to empty into a bin and access to the filter is straightforward. Running time is stated as 13 minutes which should be sufficient for what this type of vacuum cleaner is designed for.
Only 2 downsides for me:-
1, I personally would have liked to have a brush attachment for the nozzle/extending hose.
2, Some kind of charging cradle/mount to keep the unit handy/tidy when not in use.

I am very pleased so far. Suction is strong which makes the device very useful for nooks and crannies in the car.

Very lightweight, looks good, and easy to hold and vacuum. Runs for a good length of time after a period of charge, and has good suction. This coupled with a 2 year warranty makes it a great value product.

Generally a good alround machine but thought it would have held its charge for longer without needing to be recharged. Would also have liked a wall mounted charger dock.

Excellent buy! I use it everyday especially good for getting up pet hair
The only down side is having to have it charged up all the time
though i must say that when i use it i do have it on for a while.

I used everywhere after my kids drop food after eating on the car aswell, my car always is clean I find it kind of fun to clean with it, so I can just say I can't leave without my vax gator handheld vaccum cleaner.

I am pleased with my purchase.
It is easy to use and not too heavy to hold.
Having recently used a vax wet and dry I was very impressed with that too.

Hello i bought this machine because the old one went no good (not the same make) ,this H90-GA-B Gator Handheld is very good machine it has a long battery life between charges and it picks up excellent, the dust bag is easy to empty my verdict is 10 out of 10 .

very good little vac it is great for sucking up everyday dirt on carpet and wood floors.its great, and very easy to empty.unlike some other models from other manufactures,its well made and great value for money.if your looking for a handheld above the rest get this one..

I am delighted with the machine, particularly its vacuum power.

However that does mean a great deal of debris is drawn up and a larger dustbag would have been appreciated.

The gator Handheld perfoms really well with good suction and is not too heavy.

A fantastic little vac !!!!

Not had a handheld since my last one gave up on me (not vax) and really missed it. Find this machine really useful, light weight, and so easy to empty. quite powerful and saves getting the vacum out. my grandson loves it and is always wanting to use it which is very nice for me. i am very pleased with it.

Good product, light weight. Good price for product

I was very impressed with the Gator. Suction and runtime were good considering this is a rechargeable unit. It's also strong - I was clumsy enough to drop it on the road and thought it would be broken - apart from some minor scuffing it survived intact.

i am very pleased with the vacuum, it has a powerful suction and the charge lasts a good long while. overall i am pleased with it.

The suction is good but it is quite heavy to use and it would be better if it could be wall mounted and charged from the mounting rather than plug in separately.

Really brilliant. much easier then getting out a big vacuum to clean up little spills. also great for the cars.

A very handy little gadget for cleaning odd corners, the car and the staircase. I am very pleased my husband bought it for me.

Small powerful hand held vacuum cleaner. A charging cradle would be useful, as would an indicator showing when the machine is fully charged.

I bought this product because it was on offer, how I wish I had bought a Gator Handheld before. It is so handy for the car, also I have pets and it is great for cleaning soft furniture, especially if visitors are imminent. Great cleaning tool.

Well designed, well made, much more powerful than our previous cleaner and quieter. Very satisfied.

Bought it to clean the car.Does a very good job ina short time.

Very pleased overall. One thing would make it better - light to go out once fully charged. Instructions don't say how long a re-charge should take just states 24 hours for first charge.

It's very good. It's easy to use. It's easy to clean.

I read all the other feedback on this product and many other similar ones. The Gator holds its charge well and is great at picking up hair as I required. I don't feel the suck is particularly strong so am dubious it will be much use in the car. It does what it says on the tin.

Dear little orange vax--- perfect for me as arthritis makes hoovering difficult-- and cleaning the stairs now is so much easier- and quicker-really can't praise it enough-my lifelong pal- x GILLY B

Very powerful little machine, and very handy to have. We have budgies and they make such a mess, but now no problem with my Vax handheld.

First thought was : why does my vacuum cleaner look like a jet ski?
I think you need to put a sticker over the power adaptor port saying initially for 24hrs first, it's not clear enough in the instruction manual.
Aside from those things great product, very surprised by performance - it exceeded my expectations. Functional elements, emptying, extending nozzle on/off work great.
All above in context of a great price point.

Ideal for getting up minor spills, and for cleaning the carpets in the car

This handheld vacuum cleaner is without doubt our best purchase of the last few years. It is so light and portable to use. So far, it has been in every room in our house, the car and even the shed!I would strongly recommend the cleaner to everybody. Once you get one, you will wonder how on earth you got along without one.

I would not normally have bought a hand-held cleaner but this model was free with the upright "air reach" I recently bought.
However, I am quite impressed; the cleaner is lightweight and very useful for vaccuuming stairs.

Far better than I even expected.The suction is great considering it is a handheld.

Easily assembled, put on charge for 24 hours. When tested found suction really good, easy to empty, extended nozzle good for getting into corners.
My problem with handheld vacs is the batteries need replacing long before the cleaner itself needs replacing and my last vac I found the batteries were obsolete. I could have bought single batteries and made up a pack myself but the cost was nearly as much as a new vac.
Time will tell how long the Vax will Last

A very neat and surprisingly powerful tool which was purchased as a cleaning aid for our motor-home.
Re-charging time is a little longer than hoped (after the initial 24 hr charge, it takes quite a few hours to re-charge)and it would help considerably if the red light were to go out once the unit is fully charged!
My wife finds the Gator a little heavy with her arthitic hands, but I find the balance just right.
Although these comments may sound like criticism, I assure you that we are very happy with the unit!
I would welcome your comments regarding the charging light issue.
Many thanks

The Gator is a really good replacement for my previous rechargeable vac. The suction is excellent, and it's easy to empty. Downside for me is that it does not have any kind of wall mounting accessory, making storage more difficult.

i am very pleased with my gator handheld, its very good for doing my stairs and saves me getting out the big vacuum out every day.

i brought the gator cleaner for my disabled mother- she has found it to be one of the best handhelds she has ever used -and she has had a few-its lightweight easy to hold and turn on and off she also finds it easy to empty when full of debris the running time is just about right also-all in all a good and useful product.

great product, used out the box, only concern is the dirt collector is too small, mostly because the filter takes all the room up, but it is easy to empty, so no real problems.

Ifound the H90-GA-B very easy to use, very light and surprised how much suction it had.

good performance and power and good features

Great little vax. The only problem is that it takes 24 hours to recharge and so far the green light not showed up or when to say its fully charged! so I just charged it overnight each night.

i,m more than happy with the vax handheld cleaner, its performance is 100% easy to assemble/empty + a good price compared with other companys high recommended m.boswell(bozzy)

we have just bought our new vax gator hand held machine having had two other machines from black and decker over the past 5 years
this machine is well above the rest it has more suction and the battery lasts twice as long. I just wished we had bought this machine in the first place we could have saved ourselfs a lot of money
and yes we also have a 2 year guarantee. this machine is recommended

Very good. "Does what it says on the tin"!

Seems to do what you want it to do, have not used it that much to date, seems to be well built and I look forward to see how it performs in the years to come.

Very good machine that does the small jobs that my Dyson does not get too. The charging procedures a bit vague, trickle charge or do not trickle charge? I have yet to find out how long it lasts but does not seem that long.

Great little tool and powerful,more so than the 2 Vax Kones we've had previously.Little disappointed that the instruction book didnt mention as far as I could see that the battery should be run down before recharging, which is quite important to extend the life of the battery

very good machine but cannot understand why you cannot tell when the machine has a fully charged battery, have .to leave it to charge overnight

A very good model but a couple of points regarding charging of the unit. 1) Why does the red charging light not change colour or go out when it has fully charged? 2) In the manual it says that it takes 24 hours to charge when taken out of the box, yet nowhere does it suggest how long it will take from the second charge onwards. Coupled with the light issue in point 1, the user has no real idea how long to charge it for and therefore you have to guess. Aside from these flaws, I would highly recommend the Gator.

Only had it a couple of weeks but so far am very pleased with it. We bought it for the motor caravan and also to clean the model railway, where it sucks bits off the track and buildings. Very straight forward and easy to use.

I am extremely pleased with the Vax Gator cleaner. It is a nice compact unit and very powerful. Easy to use, empty and clean the filter. I like the idea of only charging the unit when it needs it, saves leaving it plugged in all
the while. The charging light does not go out when it is fully charged, but I do not find that a problem. Just time the charge. I would recommend this little cleaner to anybody, a first class product.

This is a very useful, handy piece of equipment and is an attractive design, its great on carpets and hard floors alike. And whats more it was a free gift when I bought my Power 2 Pet clean. Excellent! unbeatable value and performance from Vax!
Kath

For its size this is a very efficient machine.The instructions were very clear and emptying the dust chamber and cleaning the filter-easy.Excellent for cleaning small areas especially inside the car.I am very satisfied with it and would recommend it to my family and friends

Well weighted. Suction above average for type. Could really do with wall mounting whilst charging

I bought this Vax because I wanted a small hand held re-chargeable vac for minor spills. Having a Vax Mach Air as my main machine I had no doubt this machine would be well built,sturdy ,well designed and powerful ,I was right. Congratulations vax you have done it again.

The product works very well but I am not impressed with th Pull Out Tool, this is not tight enough to stay extended while using it and I find this annoying especially when cleaning the car interior

This is an EXCELLENT product, the suction is good and it is solidly made, easy to use and to empty- very efficient and I can now even do the stairs, without having to use the big Vax every time as the suction is so good. I had done a lot of research on handheld cleaners before buying, and the feedback on over 90% was NOT GOOD. However on looking on Amazon site the feedback was 5 star every time and I can see why, cannot fault it. The only thing to consider is the red charging light does not go off when cleaner is charged so have no way of knowing, but I gave it the full 24 hours on the first charge, and charge it for 3/4 hours from now on-- thank you for a great product.

The gator is a clean modern looking hand held vacum cleaner, which work well, and is efficient.
The downside is it is a little to small, you have to bend a long way down to pick up dirt from the floor.

I am very pleased with my new Vax. the performance is very good and the usage time available before the battery needs recharging is much better than my previous handheld (not a Vax).

Looked at a few of these type machines online and read the reviews
Black and decker seemed to be predominent in the market although there were plenty of reviews saying that in this price range they were just Not powerful enough.
The Gator is Brilliant It has Plenty of Power/suction for this type of portable recargeable. We keep it in the Cloakroom and it will vacume the Whole stairs or just those occasional spill/mess incidents .
The Gator also loks realy good/modern and can be charged from any outlet with the (phone type charger)
Overall a very good purchase , would recommend

Very efficient small cleaner a little on the heavy side but an amazing suction power. It is definitely much more powerful than others I had before.I particularly love the idea that it does not need to sit in a cradle like all my old ones did. Just charge like a mobile phone. Battery life seems fairly adequate too for several odd jobs. One of my best buys in the last few months.

TIDY.

very powerful handheld cleaner, very sturdy machine works very well and picks up the tiniest pieces of mess and dust. would recommend it highly.

This little beauty was a free gift with a hoover I bought. It is fantastic, I have used it on the stairs - just a quick one to get some little bits up and I have used it on the car! For a free gift, it is the best little gift I have ever received.

this VAX is a great little cleaner,very powerful motor for being re/charge 10.8 volt battery.i would recommend them to every one needing a small cleaner.i have had a VAX bag less upright for 24 years so i am confident this will be as reliable.cheers to VAX &co

This handheld vacuum is powerful and has a very useful crevice attachment. I had another make before but the Vax is a superior cleaner. I think this machine is good value and "does what it says on the tin !!"

An excellent product. Does everything it says on the label.

Works well, good suction, very handy

Very pleased with the power of this hand held vac. Other makes&models have not been as good as this model!

Very good particularly for tidying up after granchildren!

Brillant little hoover powerful suction and battery lasts a long time

Although this little machine has had little use so far, its design is superior to the B & D one we bought a few years ago. Its battery life is longer and it is easier to clean. Surprisingly good suction for a small handheld. Very good. I think the only thing I would add is to advise people to hold both parts firmly when accessing the filter as the front half shot to the floor the first time for me.

I give the product 4 out 5. It will remove items from carpet, which is better than others. It is small enough to fit in a draw! I bought this just to use in my refurbished bathroom, which has a white tiled floor - which shows up hair and other debris. What would have improved the design, is a removable battery which can be charged separately, allowing a 2nd charged battery to be used. I have this facility on my bluetooth headphones. I think manufactures have to think 'out of the box' - to find out what consumers really value...

After having a Black & Decker for many years we found that the lack of a holder for charging and convenience was the only draw back. Have now made my own holder to fit next to the socket.

i am pleased with the new Vax it is neat and does a good job,it is also very good in the car.

Hi, bought for particular job, does it very well . faster recharge would be helpful.

I have owned three other handheld cleaners from other manufactures,
this is the best yet..........................Good solid design, good suction and very easy to clean.....................10/10

Good, easy to use product.

It's okay - not brilliant. I should have preferred more suction but it performed fairly adequately. I have not used a hand held one for some considerable time so I really do not have much to compare it with. I should still use my cylinder cleaner for major cleans but the Vax is a useful emergency tool for minor mishaps etc. I hope that the review will be useful to you.

A very nice lightweight handheld. Good suction & easy to use. Would like to see a few small attachments to extend the versatility of the machine. E.g. for dusting, cleaning computer keyboards, deep recess acess etc.

Neat piece of equipment easy to use and very effective.

Delighted -so neat and easy to use -surprisingly powersul.

the gator handheld has been an added bonus to an already brilliant vax upright.it saves getting the upright out just for minor things, like crumbs, and has been useful all round the home(lampshades,curtains)

I am very pleased with my hand held vacuum it is not too heavy and does the job.I have cleaned my stairs with it and it is great for picking up dirt and crumbs and is also good for the fluff that gets in my wardrobes.Good buy.

Best buy-should have bought it years ago.

Very handy item to have, saves getting out the large cleaner for a few crumbs etc.

Excellent suction, if a bit heavy

Great little cleaner - highly recommended!

I like it but find the filter gets clogged.

It's a great little powerful machine, ideal for picking up the crumbs! Excellent value, good instructions, simple but effective dismantling to clean it out.

The Vax Gator hand held machine is amazingly versatile and an excellent piece of equipment. Easy to use and the suction is just what you would expect from a tried and trusted trade name.

Dont know why I didnt buy one sooner! Very useful and much used.

A nice little hover good power only trouble with it could do with a wall mount

fantastic easy to use

It is complementary to my Vax Life upright, and I am pleased with both products. They are effective and the absence of trailing leads is more than a bonus.

Excellent handheld cleaner.

Great product. Handy and easy to use. Good suction. What more do you need from a rechargeable hand held.

Nice product,does a good job,saves a lot of effort when used on the stairs & no loose tools to loose. The battery could do with lasting a little longer. All in all good value.

Excellent light-weight model, vast improvement over previously bought Black and Decker Dust Busters. This the 3rd VAX product now in the house, so I expected nothing less than quality.

I think the Handheld Gator is going to be the best hand held I have had the power is great but then I am Vax fan having had one since about 1988. My hands are a bit arthritic so I do find the retractable tool a bit stiff but that may ease with use. I live in a second floor flat so it will be easy to take down to clean out my car. A bit on the noisy side but that is no problem.

So far, very impressed. Excellent power, which picks up debri with ease. It by-far out strips any other handheld vac I owned before. I particularly like the pull-out nozzle, which is just the right shape to get to hard-to-reach crevices. I also like the quick and easy emptying feature when I don't have time to take the machine apart to empty. These are all well thought through features by the makers that make this machine a cut above the rest. My only suggestion to improve this machine would be to include a charging light that turns to green when the machine is fully charged, or perhaps something similar that would take the guess work out of knowing when to unplug.

best handheld ever

only fault do not know when fully charged good suction no other faults.Recommend to others

Its good - light weight,easy to handle with a convenient on/off switch.
The powerful motor picks up well. But- the filter tends 'to hang' on to vacuumed dirt, and needs often a brush off or wipe in daily use. There is no indicator that the machine is adequately charged. Verdict-good little cleaner, good price, and does the job well.Would purchase again.

So far I've used it only once. I bought it to use on my boat. It charged up well. It is a shame you can't tell when it is fully charged.

Easy to use, lightweight machine. Great for light cleaning around the house and inside the car. Love that its easily disassembled and re-assembled for emptying and cleaning of parts. Would have liked a narrow crevice tool attachment for getting in to corners and awkward places.

Has proved to be ideal for purpose for which purchased- Crumbs and bits on table, furniture, ledges and even for light work where minor bits on area of carpet or stairs. Surprisingly strong suction. Only criticism is in instructions on charging. Just states charging time 24 hours. Does not give guidance on whether can be left on charge when out of use or whether there is a critical maximum time.(Note there is a help line but we have used until run down then recharged for 24 hours but it is the type of item that is best kept available for use at all times)

This little Hoover is a god send. It's suction is as good as my normal Hoover the charge lasts for some time and can cope with all jobs. I wish I had bought one sooner. If your thinking about getting one it's worth it's weight in gold just for it's convenience. 10 out of 10!!

Simple and easy to use. A simple wall hanging attachment might be a very useful accessory.

The cleaner is very effective for vacuuming the car interior when away from home for short periods. I would have liked a longer endurance and was rather suprised that a lead acid battery was used. Other battery types could provide a longer endurance and a lighter cleaner - but then this may have pushed up the cost to more than your target market is prepared to pay.

Bought a Vax Gator for my mother a while back. She loves it so much, that when we decided we needed something light and handy for when our crumb machines, I mean grandchildren, visit........ we realised there was no need to look at anything else other than a Vax Gator for ourselves !
Works perfectly. Easy to use & empty. And practicality with the plug-in charger, which means it can be plugged in anywhere without a cumbersome docking station.
A bonus that the machine was reduced to

Fantastic little hoover - ideal for those small jobs.

Excellent suction but would be better if it could be wall mounted when being charged or stored.

We have found this appliance to be most useful in and about the home including within the car.

We find the Gator very useful for cleaning off the kitchen worktops and minimal amounts of dirt in the car. For what it is intended, it is very useful indeed. For occasional dog hairs on the carpets, plus dust, it is also useful. Obviously, it is NOT meant for larger jobs. MP and DL Harris

An excellent machine, very easy to use and picks up things with ease. Wish it had a wall bracket though!

Excellent product - strong suction, good charge capacity, easy to empty and clean filter. I use mine most days (driving instructor). Only improvement would be a way of knowing when the unit is fully charged.

I purchased the product to use mainly in the professional arena. I do electrical work and sometime when working in a home or office you just need a small machine to pick up the dist. I already have a larger vaccume cleaner but wanted something smaller and cordless. This machine has proved to be very useful as the charge seems good and was able to handle all that I asked of it. Very pleased with its performance so far and hope we have a long and good partnership.
When I used it in the car it did not clean as good as the one I have already so have not used it there again. The head is too big to fit in all the crevices around the seating area. Overall a good machine thought.

very useful size and very handy in tight places. Good suction but could do with extra nozel tools.
Overall, very pleased with performance.

Very efficient and we are very pleased with it.

Convenient and easy to use. We leave it plugged in so that it is always charged and ready. Exactly what we wanted - we are very happy.

Having owned a number of handheld cleaners and almost all of them having failed, some within a year or so of purchase, I am most impressed with the design and efficiency of the Gator. It is more powerful than most contemporary models and I like the emptying and filter cleaning facility. The only criticism I have is that it a little heavy to use, especially for a woman.

Not to bad, its my first battery operated hover, suction could do with a bit more power and the battery could last a little longer but it is what it is at the end of the day. Like the quick empty operation however you normally need to drop out the filter to clean that as well, but hay ho.

Very handy, easy to use and convenient.

i think it a very good handheld with enough suction thankyou

Great suction and easy to use. Like the methods of emptying the dirt compartment. Would have wanted a better crevice tool, longer and thinner would be more convenient. A way to wall mount the cleaner would also be useful. Overall very good value for money and would recommend this handheld vacuum.

its great

This is a little machine but it has a very good suck! I have only used it for about 3 or 4 minutes at a time so can't say how long it keeps going for before needing a recharge: however it can also be used with the electric lead attached, so would presumably go on for ever then. It doesn't need a cumbersome wall bracket/charger (it just needs the lead plugging in to it) so doesn't take up much space. The only thing I think could be improved is the filter, which is made of the old-fashioned "fluffy cushion-stuffing", and is a fiddle to clean. Maybe a future version of the Gator could have a plastic filter you could just rinse under the tap? Overall though, a good little machine which does the job very well.

Product is compact, light and easy to use. Suction is good and battery life is much better than I have experienced with previous portable vacuum cleaners. Adjustable nozzle does not slide in and out very smoothly however and appears to be a bit delicate.

Great product just what I wanted - the only thing that could bet better is if the retractable tool was slightly thinner and longer in order to get in all the awkward places down the sides of the car seats.

Have bought this to use in my caravan, found it easy to handle and efficient for the job it was made to do.

The Vax Gator Is A Exellant Machine Cant Praise It Enough had Other Makes And They Wasnt A Patch On The Vax Machine ; I Have Found All The Vax Cleaners I Have Bought Exellant.
With The Gator It Says In The Instructions To Initialey Charge For 24Hrs But Doesnt Say How Long To Charge After That: I Wondered If You Could Help Me Because I Dont Want To Overcharge It In Case It Damages It

We purchased the Gator Handheld to clear up around our 1 year olds high-chair after meals... which it does very well!

I have used the vacuum for eight weeks now and find it extremely useful. Providing the filter is kept clean it has very strong suction enabling it to pick-up fluff, dust and dirt effortlessly. I am very pleased with my VAX handheld machine as it is a great help with my everyday tasks around the home. I would not be without it !

Nice compact product battery life let's it down and inability to adapt it to use smaller tools but nonetheless we have had good use out of it thus far.

+fairly good battery charge life
+sucks well
+easy to empty
+2year warranty

-no storage bracket

i actually brought it for vacumming the cars and it is alot easier than using the household vacumm the battery last a long time and it still kept going after doing 2 cars

Very powerful and handy for our caravan

1st Class item - Many Thanks

Excellent compact efficient little machine - really pleased with the results. Its years since I owned a hand held vacumn and they seem to have been significantly improved - good purchase.

Excellent power - a really useful addition to our existing cleaner - great for cleaning small area's quickly. The only area that I would recommend the supplier to consider is designing a charging post that could be fixed to the wall to assist with storage.

A handy little gadget, saves getting the big vacume out for small messes. Good value for money & very well made. The battery life is excellent compared with many hand held re-chargables.
The only improvement I would like to see would be either a stiff brush or serrated edge of some kind on one side of the pickup nozzle, to loosen items stuck to the carpet pile.

It does exactly what it says on the tin!!!!!!!!!! I mainly use it for crumbs that surround my feet when I am eating crackers & cheese whilst watching TV!! Also I use it when cleaning around the bread board. I am delighted with it! Thank you, T.Rimmer

Excellent little hoover, great for the car and cleaning up after my hamsters! Would recommend to all.

I've used other hand held hoovers but I found this one very good. It's light to hold and its ideal for getting in tight corners especially when doing the car, highly recommended.

Full of praise, it has exceeded my expectations. The power of the Gator for its size is very good and the working time it gives you is excellant. The only drawback is no stand or cradle for it, but other than that First Class. Well done.

This is a superb vacuam cleaner not to be confused with the 12 volt type you see in car magazines. I bought this for my car and unfortunately it has now become another one of my domestic goddesses tools of daily torture used to fight back against dust and grime in the house. It lifts cat litter, hair and just about everything that the bigger grown up version does. A superb small vacuam cleaner with a big bite!

Yes this a very good product, I am very pleased. It is a solid product with a very good suction on it, one full charge will last longer than I thought. I can recommend this product as I am more than pleased. Also it has a 2 year warranty and it is not too expensive. Yours, B Winrow.

First class hand held Vax, lightweight and easy to handle with good suction power.

An excellent little tool that does what it says on the tin. A frame to attach it to a wall would be a convenient addition.

This handheld came free when purchasing the Power-6-Complete upright so it's a bargain. It is ideal to use in the bedroom and in the car too. Very powerful and reaches those positions not possible with bigger vacuums.

Neat piece of kit, with power to match.

This hand-held vacuum is much more effective than any previous models I've used. It's also incredibly easy to empty without getting dust all over the place. The nozzle is a bit wide for getting into awkward corners, but it's great for quickly removing crumbs in a small area, and very useful in the car.

I was disappointed that the 'gator' doesn't hang on the wall like my last hand cleaner.

A super little cleaner, use it a lot did not think I would , great.

Very pleased with this product. I was wary of buying a hand-held cleaner as thought they might be too low-powered to be of much use, but this one came free with an upright machine, and I have been pleasantly surprised. It works well and is so useful for small cleaning jobs all around the house.

Fabulous item. Very easy to use and the extending nozzel is very useful. The battery life is good and it's easy to charge.

Very good machine. Nice design with excellent suction.

Powerful/handy cleaner. Good design. Seems not possible to know when battery is fully charged. Presumably improvement would be to fit a lithiun ion battery.......????

Handy,light and efficient

Good quality, well designed hand-held machine. Excellent suction for such a small machine, easy to empty and clean filter.

having two other vax cleaners it is of no suprise to me how great this little thing is light and powerful and good suction even on long use extremely versatile should have bought one sooner

Simple to use, very powerful and the charge is enough to get through any small job in an awkward space. The built-in nozzle makes a big difference. Great for the car.

I am delighted with my handheld VAX. It is very efficient and easy to use - particularly useful on the stairs. Just wish the battery lasted a little longer.

I like the shape (and colouring!) of the Gator, and the handily-placed and easy-to-operate on/off switch. It is a little on the heavy side for a handheld, but this is a small price to pay for having a powerful battery which gives the machine really powerful suction.It's a pity the red charging light does not disappear when the battery is fully recharged, added to which is the failure of the instruction book to state how long the Gator should be on charge subsequent to the initial 24hr charge. But it is otherwise a first-class handheld machine.

Does exactly what ... ... ... Following a stroke I am in a wheelchair, with only one arm working (and that weak and the wrong one). I looked at the specs of most available hand-helds and the Vax was the only one light enough and easy enough for me to use. Great for crumbs, spilt sugar etc. Overall delighted with it.

Great little machine which works very well. I am in a wheelchair permanently and it is light enough for me to use easily. I just wish it worked longer between recharges but when on full power it is great.

Easy to hold and of a reasonable weight. Have found it works well though my partner was disappointed in the lack of suction power when using it on car mats.

Very powerful for a hand held cleaner. Very pleased with it.

like

the hand hold grater is very powerful ,last a long time before
you need to charge

ok, only fault is slide out piece dont always stay in place.

I have found the Gator very useful. It is light, easy to hold and
manoeuvre. It holds its charge well and is always ready to cope with
the little disasters that happen around the home.

I have had other hand helds but would rate this one the best.

It picks up really well the only fault is when you use the pull out accessery to clean, it pushes back in.

I had another make which was a 12V. This is only 10.8V, or thereabouts, and it is SO much better than the old one. There is just no comparison . This is a superb little machine which does an excellent job. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Very good product, easy to use with great performance. Perfect little vax for cleaning up minor crumbs.

Nice looking hand-held vac - picks up well.
The buiggest disadvantage is the 24 hour charging time.

Good powerful lightweight machine. Being able to recharge it using an adapter lead, and not via a docking station, is a much better system

Wonderful.powerful yet so light to use.

When I purchased the handheld vax gator i read many reviews about different handheld models,eventually deciding on the vax. I trully believe from the reviews i read that people expect to much of these mini machines. I am delighted with my purchase, it is easy to empty and easy to clean the filter, I use it daily to collect budgie seed from around the budgies saving time and effort to get the big hoover out and also collecting odd bits around the house and find it very effective. I would have liked a method of hanging it on the wall as I think this would have been better than it lieing on the floor to recharge. However I am not dissapointed with my purchase. If your looking for a handheld hoover you will not be dissapointed with this model just dont expect to much as most people do.

very pleased with handheld vax , power good suction good , battery lastes well .

I was impressed by the power in this hand held vacumn. It actually picks up! And especially impressed because it was free with another Vax hoover!

good as gold

I bought a Vax mach 5 pet vacuum, which is an excellent machine. I received the Gator handheld free with it. It is a good little handheld machine and as it was free was a bargain.

This was a free gift from Vax when purchased with my new vacuum, it is great and easy to use. Love it even more because it was free.

Can't recommend this wonderful wee gadget highly enough! I have problems with my wrist and this is a Godsend.

Had it for around two weeks now and I honestly don't know what I did without it. Have a 2 year old daughter who makes endless crumbs at meal times and it's certainly easier than trailing the hoover out. Gets closer to the edges of rooms than mine tends to as well. Even comes with a little built in attachment for those hard to reach places. Charging is simple - plug in, leave to charge and away you go. My only fault is I couldn't find any charging times for it so I just have to guess. Not bad at all if it's the worst thing I can say about it.

It's great for the car, great for the house and even my two year old can use it to hoover up the tumble dryer fluff (she's petrified and this hoover is helping to cure that phobia!). I know it's no toy and she shouldn't really be using it but Vax have made this one very safe and very easy to use.

The Gator is easily emptied at the press of a button and is of course bagless so very little mess indeed. Had no problems emptying it yet whether it's full or only has a few bits in it.

I had a hand held vac many years ago (so long I don't even remember the make) and it was so useless which is why I hadn't used one until now, anyway, I'm so glad I tried THIS one, it's pretty impressive, great suction and easy to use, not too heavy, which is great for someone like me who has arthritic hands, and so much easier than having to get out my full size cleaner for a quick clean up. Very pleased with it.

Delightfully easy to charge just plug straight into socket and this charge lasts a long time much more than I first expected, great for taking around the house. I found the gator to be efficient and especially good on upholstery like getting down behind the cushions and so easy to take out to the car. I am particularly impressed with the good strong suction power and great little nozzle this is really useful for getting into small spaces.

The weight is just right and so convenient for stairs making a quick blitz less of a chore and so easy to grab and take to any unexpected spills. So easy to empty then when finished plug in to charge in any room then leave ready for next use so convenient. I am very pleased with every aspect of this very useful tool.

I received this little orange colour, lightweight helper, I was really happy and excited because I always found it really hard to go to petrol pump to clean my car. But this rechargeable cleaner solves all my problems, so now only thing I have to do is to charge it and clean my car whenever am free.

It has great suction power and easy to use. It also helpful if you have little kids home like mine loves to eat crisps and make mess. So what you need to do is tell them to clean their mess and they are more than happy to use this little magic to clean.

Overall? I'd definitely recommend this to anyone - kids or not. We've gone from hoovering 3 times a day to once every couple of days with the gator used around the table to clear the crumbs etc.

Only had this a few days, opened the box all i found was the hand held gator which was bright orange, and a black cable with a plug on it and an instruction manual. Was surprised there was no charging station I have since found this is a plus as you only need to plug in the gator to charge, not worry about the gator being in the cradle or not. The gator has a well shaped handle, feels well balanced in my hand, not to heavy, great for cleaning around the kitchen or around the chairs in the lounge, picking up crisps and crumbs, best of all it the extendable pull out crevice tool, I found it fantastic for cleaning my car.

Have had my HANDELD GATOR H90-GA-B for a short while and have to say its totally brilliant at picking up all those bits of dust and crumbs, that are flying around my kitchen after breakfast time It has a really powerful motor and with the drop down lock in place crevice tool makes it even easier at picking up from my carpets to my hard floor areas .So i would highly suggest this machine as a great add on to any household appliances.

Only had this a couple of days, and I absolutely love it. Plug in, charge and use. I've had handhelds before and always been majorly disappointed, and returned them to the shop. The Gator is brilliant though, in fact I'd like to clean the whole house with it. My toddler eats at his own table in the front room, the Gator is perfect for the mess he makes, great pull out nozzle at the front, ideal for inside my tumble dryer.

I have had this for a short while and i have been blown away by this small handheld!! it is a mini vacuum and is handy for all over the home. It is durable, easily cleaned, has filter and the battery lasts for a while unlike some other ones i have used. i would say it is more expensive than all the other but it is worth the price as an investment,, it seems that this one will keep going for ages and is trustworthy. Do not think it is a dated and old fashioned item as it is thoroughly modern, just looks like an older version of them. I would most definitely recommend this to friends and family to use and will be giving this a try in the car.

In brief this is a handheld cordless Vacuum Cleaner that you charge up and it sucks up dirt off your floors.

In detail this is a very attractive, compact and quite powerful little hoover, although when you charge it up (initially for 24 hours) and after that I assume it just needs a charge for a couple of hours or so (doesn't mention that in instructions), it doesn't really last that long. About 5 minutes, but it "does" state that in the instructions.

However I am a mum of a 3 year old boy who constantly makes a mess everywhere and drops bits and crumbs everywhere all the time, and this hoover is an absolute 'godsend' when you just want to tidy up all these little messes all the time. Instead of having to get a big bulky hoover out which I personally find a pain, you can just grab this cute little device and the mess is gone. It does advise you in the instructions not to hoover up any solid objects like nails or screws, but this is fair enough and common sense really in my opinion.

Also this Vax Gator is BRILLIANT for hoovering up the stairs and much safer than trying to lug a big hoover again up the steep (like mine at my house) stairs. No wire to hold you back when your also struggling halfway up the stairs. This wireless handheld device is absolutely perfect for this job and makes life so much easier.

I don't drive myself or have a car but I a 100% sure this hoover would be PERFECT for giving your car a good hoover around.

Also when the hoover is full up of dirt, it only takes a very minor easy manouevre to empty it. Another major plus point.

I think the VAX GATOR Handheld H90-GA-B is a little beauty and every home should have one. My life has become a lot easier since I've had the pleasure of owning one. I definitely recommend it to everyone. It does what it says it does on the box and in the instructions, a rarity these days. Enjoy it, I am :-) Perfect for quick hoover up jobs!
