I think this is the model they are trying to reduce in size: |

The main difference I think is that the primary seperator was on the side of the canister on the old models, it is now inside the main canister by the looks of it in the smaller model |

sorry that sentence above should read: The Vax Air mini is a much better cleaner in terms of performance, but is a lot more expensive. |

Because simply put, multi-cyclone tech has only just started with other brands and thus the brands won't want buyers to be detracted from the current older style filters. For Hoover UK, it was far longer - 2008 for their Slalom and Freedom uprights with the "Airvolution" take on multi-cyclones. Other brands have been slower to take on this design since their models still use the older design. Vax were one of the first in the UK outwith Dyson to offer multicyclones in their "Zero" range, but not many buyers know this, well before the Mach series was introduced.
Other budget brands are still relying on the paper pleated cones because they don't offer multi-cyclone tech yet - and the new design isn't as cheap as you'd think - otherwise they'd be mains power hand vacuums offering multi-cyclones by now, as well as the latest ranges of stick vacs or what have you, other than the Vax/Hoover Linx that has been out for years beforehand (but at an expensive cost price in the UK).
As much as I admire your scientific post, Steve - the multicyclones really haven't improved anything - end of the day you still have a filter to wash out once it gets clogged. It just means it doesn't shorten out as much or doesn't require as much cleaning as paper cones do. |

Well, I went to the big city yesterday and went to John Lewis to see all the "new" cleaners on their shop floor. Tried the Vax Air Mini - it may be small but I found it too heavy for my own liking even if it was quieter than I thought it would be. The hose is also one of those cheap ribbed grey plastic jobs - I'd have thought Vax would have offered a clear hose, similar to what they have on their Vax Mach Air models - and it has a three tool storer clip on thing just at the top of the tubes - handy for access and in my hands none of the tools came off which is always a good sign.
