How to change the hose on a Vax blade 

Wish we'd found your video before taking every bloody screw out of it and numerous expletives later and about an hour wasted, finally got it sorted thanks to you.

And the best bit is everybody following your videos to repair their hoover is saving yet another electrical item from landfill and us from unnecessary expense. Thanks for the video…I got the gist of what I will need to do on my Mum’s Vax to repair it for her.

I too was that knobhead that took it all apart thinking the hose must be clamped! This video goes to show that not all hero’s wear capes. Thanks for this.

Thank you so much for your help!!!!! I am disabled and really missed my lightweight Vax 32. I"ve just replaced the hose following your instructions. Off to attend to the carpets!!! ☺☺☺

omg thank you so much im a widow pensioner and very independent i like to do things for myself if possible this video is so helpful, i was just about to order a complete new foot, i can now purchase 2 hoses for less than a new foot would have cost me and thanks to this video i can change it myself, again thank you so much

Thanks so much , I'm 72 and I managed to do it by following you Your great 👍

A great demo of how to replace this hose, thanks very much saved me a load of time 👍

Just found my vax blade 24 hose was split. Googled how to fix and found your site. Just need some hose now and can then press on with the repair. A very helpful guide showing the repair. Thanks very much.

And is still helping. . Made a world of different to be able to do that quickly and easily. Thank you (12 Oct 2023)

Was just doing this but stoped once i had the top off the two pin wire, didnt want to force the blue section out because i didnt really know if it was fixed somewhere i couldnt see and i might break it. Seeing you waggle it out was just what i needed to see. Thank you very much, now i can replace my hose.

I owe you a drink! Top quality demonstration. 11 out of 10. Thank you VERY much.

I started taking every bloody screw out and thought hang on a minute I’m sure there is something on RU-vid to put me right! Sure enough! I’m going to do it in the morning in 5 mins and crack on with my day! Thanks buddy!

Whilst I waited for the new hose to arrive i took the oppertunity to clean the filters and housing now like new THANK YOU.

Started removing screws then checked your video. 5 mins max. Well done

camera action 3/10 clear concise no nonsense instruction 13/10 thanks very much for putting this on

Thanks I was a bit dubious about doing this but with your instructions it was a doddle, a 3 minute job. Thanks again

Just what I needed! Thank you. Like a few other folk have said, my model had the end glued in place (Vax are obviously getting wise to the repairs and trying to make it difficult). Half an hour of scraping the threads with a small screwdriver and the it's sorted. Another vacuum cleaner saved from the rubbish dump. You're a genuine star!

Thank you so much. Quick and easy to understand and fit. I’m almost 70 years old and this was great. Thank you and keep up the good work xxx

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used your video and followed every step. Saved myself the €80 the shop down the road was trying to charge me. Live safer.

Fabulous. Thankyou 79 year old lady saved a fortune.

thank you ,took it all to bits before i looked at your instructions , undid a million screws , put it all back together until hose comes , and got spare screws lol

Yep, worked on my glued one, just tried to pull asmuch of plastic out as could after the wire pulled out. Thanks so much. Simple as From Australia, appreciate your simple instructions and realness! Camera troubles and all

Thanks! I also needed to prise out the ring on the other side of the floor head, opposite the cover to the power connector, in order to get the two apart. Very helpful!

Hi Wayne thanks for showing me how to fix it, worked a treat pure and simple 👍

Took me as long as the video. Thanks mate. Really simple and easy to follow!

Thanks mate!! Cracking video I near stripped the whole thing apart last night, was gonna take it to each individual item tonight, until I found your video, thanks again 👍🏻

As we say in Australia, Wayne, you mate, are a deadset legend! Thank you so much. I am the world's worst handywoman and your guidance (made all the better with your friendly Northern accent),meant I replaced the rotten old hose with minimum fuss. Big thumbs up!!

Thank you so much for that little video. Had a bit of difficulty getting out the bottom bit of hose out. Sure it was glued in! Did feel a bit seasick whilst you were setting. Thank once again.

OMG! Thank you, Thank you. I was about to give up hope on how the change the hose on my Vax Blade. You are a star.

Thank you took best part of 5 minutes & 3 of them was getting out the original one !!!!! Great video Cheers

Great instructional video. I wouldn't have known how to set about this job without your help. Thanks a lot.

Luckily I looked at this video having removed the obvious screws and attempting to part the halves of the cleaner head! Saved me lots of work! Thankyou for your video

Just come across this!. I was going to take out every screw until I watched this, so glad I did, simple hack, thank you very much , Top man. 😉👍

Very useful how to video- thanks! The blade 4 now has the pipe glued in place at both ends. It takes about an hour of scraping with a small screw driver and knife to remove the glue from the threads - it is difficult! Once you have cleared as much of the threads as possible apply some liquid soap to the hose ends to make them easier to screw in. This helps a lot with the glued type.

Thanks a lot I was one of those who tried to take it apart so this was very helpful thanks.

stumbled on your video after taking mine completely apart! Thank you dear sir

Hi Wayne, started doing it the hard way and thought there must be a better way. Thanks for showing the better way. BTW, my replacement was way more flexible and longer than the original. Hopefully it lasts longer.

UPDATE i posted the new ones are glued in place, however having followed this video and discovering this problem i started to strip the head down, major job after an hour i thought" keep it simple stupid" and after studying it over a cup of tea i pulled the hose and stretched the wire reinforcing out all the way, the pipe became very flexible without the wire, so with a screwdriver i folded the pipe to the middle, grabbed both sides with pliers and unscrewed the pipe, without the wire came away from the glue with ease, now able to do the change as per video, hope this helps people with the glued version.

Thank you so much Wayne. 2 old foggies just managed to fix our Hoover thanks to you

Thank you so much can't believe how easy it was to do, when you know how. Thanks again.

Great video. Just ordered a replacement hose and wondered how I was going to fit it. Thanks!

Thank you Buddy. Great instruction. I'd been struggling for over an hour. You're a star man. "Terrible camera operator, but you knew how to fix it....thanks"

Thanks it took about 5 minutes to do & 3 of them was getting the original one out Great honest video Cheers

Thank You, Found getting old hose quite difficult getting it out, it had turned gluey. But managed Thank You..

Thank you my other half had taken loads of screws out till I showed him your video

Brilliant just saved me buying a new head. Thanks for the clear instructions.

Bless you!! I just want to sincerely thank you for taking time to post this it really helped a dumb girl like me!! ❤

Hi, you are a genius you have saved me a real headache doing that video and I’m most grateful. Thank you.

I have to replace the tube on mine so THANKS A LOT for the tutorial. You do need a tripod for your camera. Cheers Michael

Thank you you saved me taking out all the screws

Thank you very much, I spent almost half an hour to work it out how to replace mine, after watching your video…done in 2 minutes. 👍🏼 thank you very much!

Thank you so much for this video. I honestly thought i was gonna have to buy a new hoover until i found this video online 😁

Excellent, Thank you so much for that, almost about to strip it all apart and decided to look at your Video, saved me a lot of time and much appreciated.

Thanks for the video it made changing the hose a lot easier, sadly my hose was really hard to get out of the head part as I had to use needle nose pliers to wind the wire out then pick the plastic out in pieces as it felt like it was clued though it wasn't, the type of plastic was the problem as it had almost welded it's self to the head. It's a design fault by Vac as the hose will always crack over time, it's the second machine with the same problem, hopefully Vax read this and long term change the design as this wouldn't happen to a Dyson.

Mate!!! I'm afraid I'm one of those that took out every screw before coming across ur video 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Took a while to get old pipe out due to the age of the vax it had almost welded stuck, but with a bit of wd40 got it loose and the pipe swapped... Thanks so much 😁

Thank you! Replaced mine today… lifesaver!

Thanks that was a great help, mine was a tad bit more difficult to get out like you said but all round great jib thanks again

Thanks a lot my wife was wanting a new hover only thing wrong is the spilt hose have ordered a new hose and will fit it next week.

Thank you Wanye, just followed your guide and it worked like a charm. Your a superhero without the Cape!

Thanks for that. Easy to follow and saved having to buy a new vax

Ty, I saw that video and took all the screws out to lol then I watched you. I wish I'd seen your video first. Ha ha

I wish I had seen this before I started pulling it to bits thankfully I hadn’t fully took it apart and followed this and it worked a treat

At last a simple straight forward video just what I wanted THANK YOU

you Sir are a flippin star. I too have watche those other videos and even though I am confidant I can have a go at anything, I just thought no way to that!. But, I do need a new hose as mine is split a lot and the gaffa tape lost its sticky and came away in the end. so finding your video has made me so happy. I have ordered a new hose which should be here tomorrow and I already have the old one off. Incedently I found it easier to cut at the place it had already split and so I didn't have to pull so hard

Nice one mate, my Mrs was going to throw vac away and get another🤯. I know this has helped a lot of people. Keep it up.👍

Great video fella so easy wife started to take every screw out!

Thank you so much!! All done - chuffed to bits. The only thing I’d say is you need hands like a bonobo chimp to do this. There was much gritting of teeth pulling those bits apart 😂

Great help and those changed. But now the brushed wont turn lol. 😂

Forgot to mention there are two screws to take out in the front of the blue plastic thing I pull out, sure you’ll notice them anyway.. good Luck 😉

Thanks very much much easier than I thought, very well explained. And now I have to get vacuuming or else !

Just what I needed simple and direct.

Thank you so much! This was so much easier than I thought, you made it so simple. You are a lifesaver, thank you again!

Thanks very much. No sooner had I viewed your video and the job was done. As the late Tommy Cooper would have put it - "just like that!"

Thank you, you just saved me loads of time and guesswork.

Cheers, just changed mine, it's a v24, just a couple of screws different, struggled a bit because it was all split, but managed it in the end!👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thank you very much, just successfully changed my hose .

Wayne - you';re a genius, thanks ever so much for the tips..... You're a lousy cameraman though!!!

Saved me hours. Thank you.
