New 2014 Vax Air total home - I am speechless

[mieles5380leo]

Neat fact, sptyks.

I've never known about Vax products before, so I've never known this, the name rings a bell, but, I can't put my finger on it though. Learn something new every day don't ya!

There are so many bad reviews online because this new Vax is too powerful for them to push

 

[sebo_fan]

Where are those bad reviews you speak of?? At Argos there only seems to be a couple of bad ones, but then the next one is totaly conflicting.

And are those rugs in the first comment/review fixed on the floor or portable? No upright can do them unless its super soft bristles and low suction. Otherwise they get sucked up into the mouth of the upright.

Actually it was Vax who set the design blueprint of the original before Hoover in the U.S got their Windtunnel Air model.

Amazon has lots of them rated at 1 star, 2 and 3 etc. Those reviews make me want this more, lol. Not sure whether to get this in purple for £99 off Vax on Amazon, or a Dyson DC41 mk2

 

[sebo_fan]

eh? Amazon only seems to list 4 reviews out of 26 that get 2stars. I think you're being unfair.

 

[parwaz786]

No I mean in total, the negative reviews from different sites such as Argos, Amazon, etc makes quite a lot of people saying the vacuum is hard to push. So they have it a negative review

It is difficult to push and pull across carpets and sticks to hardfloors, but it is a very effective vacuum and I have loved using it. The plastics used on the whole feel durable, some feel a bit brittle and the hose is stupidly short and very poorly placed, the handle doesn't go up high enough for me either, but this is now a vacuum you can buy at places like Tesco, Argos and amazon for around £100 so it is still excellent value.

Hoover & Vax need to make their own designs & quit copying from one another or from someone else. It dont matter if Vax UK & Hoover USA are owned by TTI; this "copycat" stuff needs to end PERIOD! Just because one company owns many is NO EXCUSE to copy the other company's designs! I think today's engineers are too lazy nowadays.

That Vax looks retarded[this post was last edited: 12/28/2014-17:30]

It's not "copying", they're exactly the same machines made by exactly the same company in exactly the same factory. TTI owns the Vax name in the Europe and the Hoover name in the US, but they don't own the Hoover name in Europe. If they did, I would expect that all their machines would be branded one or the other.

I doubt the design of the Mach sir range etc are owned by TTI as these are not budget machines. These are their best ones ATM.

Well, following on from another discussion about another brand name on another forum... I remember the Tchibo company from Germany, who first had a mail order catalogue where you could buy rebranded household appliances and a few vacuums under the "TCM" brand name and also "Typhoon."

When the net came along, the company in the UK had already stopped selling appliances and went onto selling coffee and drinks alone on their UK website. However, Tchibo in other countries still sell unbranded vacuums and I came across this "Tchibo zyclon upright vacuum"

It has since "sold out." No wonder - when it is an unbranded Vax Mach Air!

floor-a-matic, I don't quite understand what your gripe is.

After all the Hoover U.S company who made the Convertible uprights weren't exactly the same when they were sold in the UK under the Senior name...

Or Electrolux for that matter.

 

[parwaz786]

Wow, I assume it was a budget vac then if its a small company so its great value

 

[sebo_fan]

IM not sure what you mean? What do you mean by small company?

 

[parwaz786]

Isnt that a small company's which sold the cheap/fake Mach air clones?

 

[sebo_fan]

They're not clones, Tayyab.

TTI will happily sell their designs to trader companies to sell to other markets.

Germany was also home to the Clean Maxx bagless upright - in which it also appeared as the Hoover Turbo Power bagless upright. Not TTI of course, but still Chinese made.

 

[parwaz786]

Cool, you learn something new every day!

 

[blakaeg]

I'm surprised you went out and bought a Vax machine Olivetinfoil seeing as you were only posting not so long ago about the inferior quality of Chinese made products. Of which I did not agree with the comments made.

This forum never ceases to amaze me.

As you can see the Vax machine is pretty good for the price and despite it being made in the Far East along with Dysons, it feels pretty good in the hand

well, I do hope one is allowed to change their opinion. There are no set rules in which members can't change their opinions.
