Absolutely rubbish! The materials used are not fit for purpose, the mechanical/ergonomic design is fundamentally flawed and, although it picks things up OK, the cyclone action jams up quickly and basically ... IT'S NASTY! My wife says it's the 'worst hoover she has ever owned' and she had a £60 Hitachi that lasted 6 years and always did what it needed to do well. It only ceased to work because her daft husband used it to hoover the car ... in the rain! OOPs! Don't buy this. I know Vax do other good products (we have a really good carpet cleaning/shampooing machine) ... but this isn't one of them.
I'm a product designer .. so I do know when a dud is a dud...
