Hi all,
I was out earlier and say that there was a shop that said 'closing down today' in the window. I instantly thought 'what about the vacuum cleaner???' So I went in, asked them if they would sell their vacuum and they said "it's broken". Oh well, I said, and the lady said "I believe we have a vax, and an old wet and dry up the road" I instantly thought, a vax 121, or a 4000, or 6131 or something.
Anyway she went and got me these 2 vacs. Then I realised she said "a vax AND a wet and dry!!" Not a wet and dry vax!!!
Anyway I took these two home, and the vax was clogged with glitter, balloons and confetti (the shop I got them from was a party shop) and that ran, it's not very old at all!!
The other was a Vacleansa ProClean, nothing wrong with this at all!!!
Anyway, time for some pics:

The vax 1800 watts, just a few months old:

And the Vaclensa ProClean, much quieter than I expected it to be:

Quite a cool cable change feature on the back:

Joe, I can't beginn to tell you how good the Vacleansa is. It's suction power is more than incredible, it's very quiet and it really does pull up the carpet- so I've taken to using the airobrush on it:)

This Vaclensa model is one of many styles made in the last few years which has been designed to use the same replaceable parts (such as bags and hoses) which Numatic use. Competition, if you like.

I must suggest that this one does not look like a Wet & Dry. There is no float valve or protected on/off switch.

Ultimatevacman: about the same as a Henry, if not better!
VR: yes, it isn't a wet and dry, the woman in the shop got it wrong lol!!
Yes, it uses numatic bags and hoses:)
