Well not really - who's to say that the new swivel will be problem free? If its anything like the swivel on the Hoover Slalom which can be problematic and refuse to lock up sometimes, I'd say stick with what you have for the moment PLUS I seem to read a lot of reviews in the U.S about the Windtunnel Air being pretty good - you could get a good sale price on it if you keep it good and sell it on.
Think not of the negative and more of the positive! |

Doesnt matter - keep it for some time and then sell it privately on the U.S equivalent of Gumtree - Craigs list is it called? You can fix any price you like. Something online that deals with second hand buys. You could even clean it up, fit new filters to it, maybe add a non-branded turbo tool to it, something extra (Im not sure if it comes with a pet tool as standard.). |

With all due respect John, wasn't your account deleted? |

But with all due respect, having the suction channels located on either side has really nothing to do with the hose being centrally mounted or put to the side. Vax could have retained that part of the design, regardless. To be honest I'd have preferred the Hoover design compared to the central hose at the back. Looking back I can see where I've gone wrong with my thought about the Windtunnel patents, but then it is confusing with a lot of the design info you get about this online. Vax also used the "Windtunnel" name to describe the floor head on their Mach 9 series:
Clearly I can see dual paths of air "lines' up and over/behind the brush roll.

So here we have another example of a catalogue run. The Proline UVC18 bagless upright on the left. Not many who are in the know would probably love this £44-99 vacuum cleaner. www.very.co.uk... have the actual original Vax model, the U88-T1-S on the right, although it seems to be priced at £139-99 which is obviously a mistake as it lacks the turbo tool. Even the Proline has a better look to the original Vax. |
