Invictus X7 Reviews

Brush roller stopped working after 18 months and it was the absolute best vacuum I have used since my Kirby. There is no way to get a replacement head and that is disappointing.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Absolute waste of money, $1300 out of pocket. Only had Invictus X7 for 7 months and trying to remove the main unit from the tube has been a mission. It does not detach as advertised. Unfortunately while trying to detach from the tube the white suction part snapped, exposing the electrical cable. TV shop refuses to replace it under warranty but instead have offered a new main unit at $369 plus $34.99 S&H cash. I have had nothing but problems, terrible suction, useless on hard floors, always getting blocked, and like I said, very difficult to detach the main unit from the tube. I now have a $1300 vacuum that can't do anything. Don't purchase this vacuum.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love my Invictus, would love it even more if you could buy replacement parts and filters particularly for it.

I did notice it getting a bit stodgy at sucking after a while but cleaned the 3 different filters and away it went like new.

I hardly ever use my other vacuums now.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Definitely would not recommend this vacuum, have had mine less than 6 months and it's no longer picking up anything! It seems almost as if it's actually doing the opposite and blowing stuff out instead of picking it up! Batteries keep dying even though fully charged. ABSOLUTE RIP OFF! TV Shop, you guys suck (unlike your vacuum)!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Anyone who is gullible enough to believe the advertising BS and waffle on TV coupled with limited stock, etc. etc. is a fool. No back-up, no spare parts, etc., a total con job.

Not available in shops - wonder why that would be?

Did not and will not buy one. Unfortunately, a friend did and asked me to check it out as it did not perform as advertised.

Good luck getting a refund.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I received my Invictus X7 a couple of days ago and it has not impressed me at all. Firstly, the suction power is horrendous. I can only assume that when they show you the suction power on TV they are lying. Secondly, it blocks up so easily were the waste goes into the canister. Thirdly, what is the point of having a second battery when you can't charge it out of the cleaner itself? Last, and by no means least, what I am being charged for this vacuum cleaner is outright robbery. I have just discovered that I can by this very machine at Harris Scarfes for $299.00.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I purchased this vacuum cleaner just over a year ago. Two weeks ago something got caught in the brush. We tried to take the plastic screw out so as to remove what had got caught in the brush, tried and tried to remove the plastic screw but wouldn't open. The screw was mangled trying to get it open so I sent an email to the TV shop asking for a replacement screw, the reply I received was that they don't have replacement parts which astounded me. They offered to sell me another unit at a good price. There is no way I would purchase this plastic vacuum cleaner again that cost over $600.00. I do not recommend the Invictus X7. It's just a rip-off.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this machine from the TV Shop after seeing the promotion on TV. The feeling of the machine is very plastic and it is noisy. The suction is very poor and after cleaning a small area of carpet, we put the Dyson back over the same area and was amazed at the amount of dirt the Invictus X7 left behind. When we went to charge the second battery that was supplied with this item, we discovered that there is no separate charger for the backup battery. So you really have to use the machine to charge the batteries. You cannot charge one battery while using the other one. What a poor design. So to summarize, you have the plastic feel, poor suction, and battery charging issues. Last big negative it took four weeks to get a $600.00 refund. Stay away.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
