I've had my Vax Mach 2 Zen for just over two years. It currently has not functional problems and seems just as powerful (vacuuming a two bedroom flat once a week).
The issue is with the attachments and connections. Unlike my old Dyson, there are no 'locks' on the tube or pipes. The connection is just a push-fit and I have had the handle just come off during operation. The same applies to the small attachments. It would be nice if the tubes locked together (maybe they do on a newer version).
The actual machine is a bit annoying to carry too, as the handle is angled at the back, rather than the top, which would seem more natural/logical.
Overall though, I am not dissatisfied with it. If I were to buy a vacuum again though, it would be a Dyson, just for the build quality.
