Good Points

It seems to clean deep down.


Bad Points

Poor surface pick up. Hepa filter difficult & messy to clean. Soft brush attachment ineffective on stair carpet as is the rotating brush attachment which seems to go too fast for the brushes to catch anything. Carpets never look as though they have just been vacuumed.


General Comments

I have been using this Vax V006U model for the last 18 months - within the first week I felt I had made a huge mistake in buying it. It was obviously picking up something from deep in the carpet pile as the cylinder quickly filled but it has never been able to pick up fluff on the surface of the carpets no matter which setting I used for the brush height so the carpets never look as though they have been vacuumed unless I go over them again with the nozzle and attack every particle one by one. It is particularly bad on carpets with a high content of man made material. It is messy to empty and to clean the filter each time (which is reccommended by Vax). The belts are now breaking on a regular basis so it is going to the tip this weekend. I have no more patience with it.
