I bought the new Vax Mach 7 over the weekend and unfortunately it is going back to the shop shortly.

In terms of suction and accessories, it is brilliant - picks up all the dirt and dust and the hose suction is fantastic for corners, skirting boards etc.

HOWEVER, it is so heavy and difficult to manoevre that I simply cannot use it. It weighs over 10kg and I am no weakling but I cannot carry that up and down the stairs. It is really hard to push around generally and I have put my back out using it! It's such a shame as it is a really good machine but not for me. I phoned the Vax helpline and the lady told me it was an extremely heavy machine and as it's hurt my back I can take it back as it's not fit for the purpose for which I bought it. I honestly think it would be easier to move a cement mixer around the house! Let's hope Curry's see it the same way!
