About Vekto
It started on a Sunday, with a pair of scissors.
The cordless hoover on the wall had cost more than the washing machine. It was two years old and gave nine minutes on the setting that actually picked anything up. Every Sunday one of us sat on the kitchen floor cutting hair off the roller. The steam mop in the cupboard had stopped steaming at thirteen months. The window vac spat water down the wall every time it was tilted.
The story
The cheap one died. The expensive one wrapped. The rest just stopped.
The first cordless hoover was the cheap one, and its battery gave up inside a year. The second cost four times as much and came in a beautiful box. By month thirteen the battery gave nine minutes on the setting that picked anything up. The roller wrapped solid every week. And the battery could not be replaced. The brand said so.
So we asked a simple question. What if the machine were built around the three things every owner complains about? A battery that does the whole house on one charge, with the head on. A roller that strips hair off itself. A clear bin big enough that a whole house is one empty. That became the Vekto Vacuum V18, and it is now rated 4.8 by thousands of UK homes.
Then we did the same for every other machine in the cupboard. We read the one-star reviews of the big-name steam mops, floor washers, spot cleaners and window vacs. We found the part that fails on each and built ours around it. A steam mop with nothing to crack and a boiler you can descale. A floor washer that keeps the dirty water in its own tank. A spot cleaner whose hose is a spare you can buy, not the reason you bin it. A window vac with a tank that lasts a British winter morning and a battery covered for five years.
None of that turned out to be difficult. It was just cheaper not to do it.
We called it Vekto, from vector: a force and a direction. Every one of these machines is exactly that, how hard it pulls and where you point it.
Every Vekto comes with a 5-year guarantee that covers the battery, and 60 days at home to decide. The thing that made you give up on the last one is not going to happen with this one.
Three standards
Three things every Vekto has to pass.
- 01
The whole job in one go.
The whole house on one charge, with the head on. A tank that does every window in the house. Steam that lasts the whole floor. Not a number from a bench. If a machine cannot do a real home in one go, it does not get made.
every room, every window, then the car
- 02
Nothing you have to fight.
A roller that strips its own hair. A floor washer that cleans its own roller. A steam mop that is ready in 20 seconds. A window vac that works upside down on the sill. If a part makes you sit on the floor with scissors or a towel, the answer is no.
no scissors, no towels, no second trip
- 03
Five years, battery included.
A 5-year guarantee on every product, spares in stock for five years, and 60 days at home to decide, with no deductions. A machine that dies with its guarantee is not a Vekto.

“Read the whole page twice looking for the catch, because every one of these says it does the whole house until you get it home. Six weeks in, it does upstairs, downstairs and the car with the light still green, and I have not once flipped the head over to find hair. That is all I ever wanted from one of these.”
