Dont want to burst your bubble but...


As an owner of the original orange one (Mach Air) and then the Reach model, which is still IMHO the best one going and still eco efficient for the moment at 1200 watts (better now that it has been reduced to £99 at Argos), I quite liked your intro about this new Vax upright.


However, I never liked the Dyson copied slide down and lock 3 in 1 cleaning tool and its a pity to see this new Vax is still saddled with a similar one. The problem I found largely was the other side of the "cup like" upholstery tool that really isn't as useful as a flat Miele tool, or Hoover's flat tool with the new TeliosPlus or indeed SEBO's T shaped tool.


Judging by your photos, Oli - can I assume that the acrylic cover no longer comes off the top like the Vax Mach Air & Reach models? Or do they have clips like the old models? They have a pull up push down clip either side that allows instant access that unlocks the clear cover to clean off the brush roll.


Clearly, what Vax have offered up here is a good model for eco-efficiency led buyers BUT ALSO seems to mimic the original design of the Hoover Windtunnel Air that TTI offer in the U.S etc.

Their original model for example has the hose coming down and locking onto the left hand front compared to the rear hose on our Vax branded models.


I think it will be a massive seller based on its wattage and cleaning ability. I'm glad you brought it to the attention of the forum members.
