They have launched some good ones recently IMO. I want the Unplugged.

Whenever I help someone choose a new Vacuum Cleaner, most of the time they always end up going for a Hoover one, because of Hoover's history in the UK & many associate the name with the Uprights their Parents had. It also happens when I sell Vacuum's at a Car Boot also, people go for the...

Like the Telios you mean? I do agree I find the machine looks less cluttered when tools store in the body of the cleaner as opposed to 3 on a tool holder put on the hose or extension tube.

I like the Athos too. The Nanopack system looks good.

Also, Hoover's Athos is around 2400w & 2500w, but they have an Eco 1000 watt version. They will probably launch that in the UK & lower the wattages of the Telios & Enigma models.

Henry did fine with the 850w motors they started out with, slowly over the years they've creeped up but that has shown to be unnecessary obviously!

There are a lot of them, & they mostly have motor wattages consisting of 1800w-2300w. Do you think once September comes & the new law is in, that we will see an end to the Power Range of Machines that Vax produce?

The Panasonic Bagged Uprights worked perfectly well with a 1500w motor. Heaven knows why they needed upgrading to the noisy & vibrating 1900w & 2000w motors.

Exactly madaboutsebo, Bag filtration has got much better in recent years due to fabric bags & multi-layers inside the bag to trap the dust inside. I hope Vax launch a bagged model. I doubt they will but I hope they do. Hoover UK have only released the Athos (mentiones earlier) but when I asked...

On their FB page someone enquired about it & were told by Hoover to 'wait & see' so they obviously have something lined up.

Nice to see you back Steve! :D I think Vax aren't just bothered about sensotronics video because you only have to look on their Facebook page to see the amount of bad comments they get. I prefer Hoover myself if I had to choose a 'middle' brand. Yes Hoover can be crap machines & they do...

At least that was dealt with swiftly. Vax once sent me two wash heads for my 6131 when the original one broke after one use. I thought that was quite generous of them. However, due to the number of reliability problems Vax face, I have been put off purchasing one. I wonder how good the...

Well someones gonna have a nice time putting all of that back together.

One of my friends mums purchased a Vax Air Cylinder, took it straight out of the box & the Dust Bin Release button was stuck in the lock position! Awful quality!

You are right vintagerepairer. In the early 2000's Vax were still only selling mulrifunction machines, then they began selling Dirt Devil Machines under the Vax name IIRC. Gone are the days now when you used to see Turboforces & Swifts everywhere you went.

Wonder how the Vax Commercial machines hold up?

Was that the Centrix 3 Sam?

Most Vaxes these days are hit & miss, sadly as most of their machines work really well.

Vax never seem to get better, their quality always tends to get lower everytime someone on here reviews a new machine. Oliveoiltinfoil purchased a Vax Air Powerhead & found it useless due to a poor quality build & low watt Powerhead. The New carpet washers look like a child's toy too.

Love the vid. The new floor head is very similar to the one on my Hotpoint, the middle portion pulls upwards so the main head stays in contact with the floor.
