Advantages: Excellent suction, picks up all dirt, great accessories, hose good for corners Disadvantages: Very very heavy & difficult to manouvre. So heavy I can't use it!
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 ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of VAX VZL6017C
Advantages: Great cleaning performance and good value Disadvantages: Very noisy
domestic existence, leaving behind a veritable feast of cobwebs and dog hair. It was some six years old and not responding too well even after servicing. All in all, maybe it was time to pension it off.
And so I ventured into the virtual land of cost comparison seeking a replacement for my old stager but the best price I could find for a Dyson was just short of £300. However I noticed that the name VaxTurboforce Pet kept cropping up as an alternative. The few reviews I found delivered mixed opinions but all recommended its pet hair raising abilities! When I eventually arrived in Amazon land and found a new machine available for next day delivery for just £97.99 (including post and packing with Amazon Prime), it was an offer I couldn't refuse and a few clicks sealed the deal.
Vax was not a name which would have sprung immediately to my ...
Advantages: much lighter than earlier models and quieter also no loss suction as standard Disadvantages: not enough on board storage for all tools but not big issue
HAVE just got this model as my sister ordered but does not like therfore i am proud owner provided my old VZL 6011 gets repaired or replaced by vax as height adjustment carriage broke 6 year guarantee you say.
Okay much larger version a giant comp[ared to last ,Big plus longer cable and hose as has extension hose also which is retractable bonus also you can choose to have brush rotating or not, a great idea is the power is the turbo tool like a mini brush for upholstery also the much required extension tubes last model didnt have , on first use of hard floor brush attachment have to be honest and say not too impressed, but the height adjustment carriage seems to be of better desigN.
These cleaners appear to be justy improving and improving, i would wonder about the newest AIR MODEL and also carpet cleaners but find these rather ...
