My mum has the Vax Mach Air


However, on this Hoover version, the hose has a different layout. The hose has been re-routed to the agitator cavity and Windtunnel ducting employed. There appears to be an extension hose supplied as standard (stored on the left of the machine when operating the hoover).


Mum's Vax has its short hose routed around the back of the machine, between the rear wheels. The dirt channel in the floor head branches into two smaller channels in the agitator cavity.


I found that the cleaner was okay on 80/20 wool/nylon carpet, but was skipping on low profile looped acrylic carpet. So I popped out the two small rollers that were situated immediately behind the agitator cavity. Problem solved. It picks up quite a lot of dirt for a lightweight machine.
