VAX

Do not buy a VAX hoover

owned a Vax Power 8 for 3 months. On 3rd drive belt already and the suction reduces to almost nothing after one use due to the filter blocking. It also gets blocked at the inlet to the collection cannister.
Rang Vax to complain, the first vax employee hung up after hearing my complaint. The second told me it was getting blocked because it is so powerful and to wash the filter!!!!
Who in their right mind designs a hoover with a filter that has to be washed then dried for 24 hours every time you use it.
