Vax Air 3. If you have rugs or mats in your house avoid this Vax, it will chew them up. The suction on this Vax is vicious and the design of the handle is not user friendly. The lip at the top of the handle is painful to use after a while as you have to grip so hard that presses on the pad of the hand. It is so hard to push & pull you cannot use easily with one hand, you need a lot of strength and be a body builder to use it. Have used Hoovers, Dyson and Vax, but would not recommend this to anyone.
When I saw this in the showroom it looked great, it was demonstrated on a carpet tiled floor and an industrial mat. Unfortunately I have ordinary house carpets and rugs. Vax were not helpful 'not suitable for rugs or loose carpets' Most people I know have at least one rug and carpets are only fitted around the edges. So their comments were usless, they treated me like I have never used a vacuum before. Wish this had a floof height adjuster as it may have improved its use.
