Vax describes it as cyclonic, with pick-up meant for all floor types. It weighs 4.7kg, which makes it easy to carry up stairs and store. The dirt bin holds 2.5 litres, and the filter is rinseable, so there are no bags to buy. The cord is 6m and the hose is 1.5m. A telescopic extension tube lets you reach higher or lower without bending. Vax's page doesn't list a wattage, dimensions or a noise figure, so we leave those out. In the box you get the cleaner, the telescopic tube, a combination floor tool, a turbo tool for pet hair and embedded dirt above floor level, a 3-in-1 tool and a user guide. Vax sells spares for it, including the dirt bin with lid and separator, and a pre-motor filter. ### Key specs - Type: Corded bagless cylinder - Bin capacity: 2.5 litres - Weight: 4.7kg - Cord length: 6m - Hose length: 1.5m - Filter: Rinseable - Voltage: 220-240V, 50/60Hz - Tools: Telescopic tube, combination floor tool, turbo tool, 3-in-1 tool - Guarantee: 1 year ## What owners report about the Vax Pick Up Pet CVRAV013 Feedback we found for this exact model is mostly on one retailer-linked review page, so the picture is thinner than for some rivals. Most owners there praise the suction. They also like how light it is, how easy it is to store, and how simple the bin is to empty. Several say it is good for the money, and a couple report that it picks up dog hair well. The turbo tool for stairs and the extension tube for high spots get a mention. The complaints centre on build. Some owners find the plastic and the wand fragile, and one says the pipe can snap if forced. Others wish the cord were longer, and one says it doesn't roll very smoothly. One owner received a plug that was broken. Noise comments are mixed but lean towards quiet. Little is said about how it lasts after months of use, so long-term reliability is unclear. ## Who the Vax Pick Up Pet CVRAV013 suits It suits a small or medium home with stairs, a pet that sheds, and a modest budget. It is easy to lift, takes no bags, and the turbo tool is there for upholstery and steps. Look elsewhere if you have a large house, as the 6m cord means changing sockets often. The Vax Air Stretch Pet CCQSASV1P1 has a stretch hose for more reach. If you want sturdier construction, the Dyson Big Ball Multi Floor 2 is built to a higher standard. If you would rather not empty a bin, the Hoover H-ENERGY 300 HE310HM is a bagged option. ## Questions about the Vax Pick Up Pet CVRAV013 ### What is the warranty on the Vax Pick Up Pet CVRAV013?

Too few review sites cover cylinder vacuum cleaners for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 24 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
