Well its all washed. Only 3 tiny tiny parts tried to escape down the plughole! Must have had something on it though as doing the outer casings my cleaner stopped foaming. Will give it a polish to get fully rid of it when its back together! | ||

With alot of filter maintanance I think it could be a good machine. I imagine it will be very needy though. I had to wipe every seal clean again after that quick test on the garage floor! HEPA filter is washable though, which helps. | ||

No wonder the Vax Centrix 3 the local Car Boot Cafe had died after 3 uses! | ||

Wow that is bad, I've done similar tests with my Vax Mach Air but it copped ok to be honest when I checked the pre motor filter it was still clean but it is multi cyclonic. Still I didn't expect this to be THAT bad!!! My AEG UltraPerformer is only a single cyclone but that keeps its filter very clean, this Vax is obviously very poorly designed.

That's exactly what it is, badly designed. No real thought or testing of the concept I imagine, just made, put on sale and move onto the next cheap machine! | ||

Well at the end of the day, this isn't a Vax vacuum cleaner. It may have the name of "Vax" on it but its a rebadged Dirt Devil and from the empire of TTI who continually drag and dress up old components with more shiny plastic.
That's not to say all Vax vacs are crap - but most members on here know the ones to stay clear of - and to be fair, at least TTI are now doing multicyclonic which is a bit better than this bitter old vac. | ||
