This is Vax's TOL Cylinder, the Zen. Vax's quietest, most powerful multi-cyclonic cylinder. I payed £111.29 on an Argos deal 2 weeks ago & have used it nearly everyday since.
It's quiet, powerful, & comes with a full size turbo brush compared to Hoover machines where you have to buy it separately. The Multi-Cyclonic technology is fairly effective & the filter has some dark spots on it, which isn't bad for 2 weeks use.
As far as quiet goes, Vax claim 74dBA, but in my opinion it's quieter than that. You are able to talk over the noise & I haven even used this machine at night when others have been asleep.
A 1600w motor produces 350 air watts which makes it more efficient than the Hotpoint Dual Clean, but then again design comes into the process aswell.
The tools store on the handle via a click process, they don't fall out & they are handy for quick clean ups, because they're there, ready for when you need them. The crevice tool is quite stubby & short but the dust brush rotates at several different angles & has softish bristles. The hand grip is even rubberised!
On the Zen you get an 8m cord & a 1.7m hose, this gives a long reach & it's got a longer reach than the Hotpoint. As this is the pets model it comes with a Hepa H12 exhaust filter which can't be washed but the filter above the dust bin can. The bin is 2.6 litres & by using this everyday I empty once a week.
Another point to note is that the floor tool has a plastic sole plate but it still glides easily across the floor. The quality of the machine is quite good, it feels as if it could be used everyday but it does have the 6 year guarantee which puts my mind at rest.
