What happened to the Platinum Collection??

Hi All,

I have a 110v Multicyclonic Upright and the 240v Multicyclonic Canister and the Linx as well.

I was wondering why both of these are no longer sold, but the bagged canister and linx still are? Was there issues with them?

I read online that the Lynx had a problem with the suction tube at the back leading to the floor head - but they may well have replaced it with this new Vax / Hoover Windtunnel cordless model - would make a lot of sense to, if it pulls more money in and if it is slightly heavier.

But then I would like to see Vax/TTI produce a similar cordless upright to the AEG Ergorapido with a hand held that comes out of the body. I find them remarkably easier at times.

Well, just because TTI own Hoover doesn't mean every model Hoover in the U.S gets over here in the UK in the form of a Vax model.

I guess it comes down to market trends. That Presto stick vac uses a conventional cordless battery over the far longer running, quicker charging Linx/Life (Vax Life as it is called), so there's every possibility that Vax UK only wanted to sell that model instead of old models.
