Verdict

The Vax HomePro Detect Pet-Design Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is an 18V stick vacuum equipped with a 0.7-litre bin capacity, a 3-hour charge time, and a removable ONEPWR battery delivering up to 45 minutes of runtime. It features intelligent Debris Detect technology that automatically adjusts suction power based on dirt levels, a 99.9% filtration system that captures particles down to 0.3 microns, a flexible FlexiClean pole for reaching under furniture, integrated floorhead LEDs, and a specialised motorised pet tool alongside HairWrap Resist tech to prevent brushroll tangles. Main pros include its highly effective pet hair pick-up, effortless maneuverability, convenient self-standing design, and powerful automatic suction adjustment; however, common cons note that it operates with a somewhat noisy, high-pitched motor sound, can feel top-heavy during extended handheld use, and has a few plastic attachment components that feel slightly flimsy.
