Appalling
September 3, 2021

Did not provide a tracking number and are not responding to emails to try and find out when I will get my order or get a tracking number I can track myself. They might be cheap but cheap is not even worth that if you can't get what you bought.

Vac ordered, paid for and delvd. All fine. Two days later fake invoice appears with incorrect Ebay order number. Ebay and Paypal show no record of this sale but Direct Vacuums insist I ordered it. Customer Relations have all the tact and skill of an adrenaline snorting bull in a china shop, refuse to admit it is clearly fake and insist I ordered it.

Do not order from this company. Item arrived late, when arrived switched vacuum on smoking and burning smell. Contacted no firm of communication, email on website to request refund and return still no reply. When you get a reply to your email 4days later saying its on its way after now being delivered, there's no way to email back there customer service company. Scammers avoid at all costs.

Never again!
January 24, 2022

Never Again!
Ordered a new carpet washer and they sent a used one that still had dirty water in it all the labels were worn and it had scratches. Apologised and was promised I would be sent a new one now around 6 weeks later I still haven't received it. Emails take days to be answered, was told the item would be despatched after yet more apologies, only to be told today it would be sent to despatch today and would take 2 to 3 days to arrive so it was never sent to them even though I was told it had been. They offer next day delivery you'd think after 6 weeks they could do this on my item
Not the first time I've had issues i bought a vacuum which was faulty and returned to get it fixed only to wait to eventually be told they had received the item but then lost it.

No customer service.
December 13, 2019

Missed delivery. Item returned to them. No refund. Have emailed multiple time with no response. If you try and call it cuts you off. Having to go through credit card company to get refund. Worst online company I have ever used. Wouldn't recommend or use again.

BROKEN HOOVER SENT
November 22, 2021

I will never buy from this seller again as they have sent me a broken Hoover I have got in contact with the customer services but they are telling me they can't do nothing about it I am sure they were aware of this before they said they out as the broken pieces are visible. Customer services are really unhelpful and they are telling me they can't do anything about it I have just wasted my money on a broken Hoover

I purchased a New Vax Platinum from here. I received a used scratched dirty machine. Seller and I both agreed a partial refund and I keep the item. Never received the refund, so I returned the item for a full refund. No refund was given and eBay had to intervein and issue a full refund. For a limited company with no support, none existent customer service who never answer the phone, I would certainly avoid the massive headache. After reading many other reviews I don't think they sell new products just used/refurbished items which they try to sell as new. My advice is to spend the extra cash and buy new and to avoid this company at all costs.

The hoover has little to no suction, barely lasts 3 minutes and the extenable part broke after the second use.
I was never sent a confirmation email of my purchase and they are still refusing to give me a refund eventhough I emailed my complaint within the first 30 days of purchase.

Reading reviews and from experience this company specialises in sending you a different model to the one you have ordered. Usually a cheaper model.
Then offering you a small refund if you keep it,
