i have the power 2 and power 5 pets and stairs and they are uncomfortable to use the hose is long but the cleaner springs up when the hose is covered, the tools are unbearably cheap and awful to move the performance is just awful all round really they are extremely loud and are just not a good vacuum, just my 2 cents

My next door neighbour has one of those. Horrible, low efficiency cyclone that clogs up too easilly, awkward to use and it's ridiculously loud.
2100w for an upright is far too much. I've said it before and I'll say it again, higher watts do NOT equal more suction power. As much as I'm not a huge fan of them, if you want a bagless vacuum, Dyson are the only decent choice. Aside from that, you're best off sticking with a bag. |

Sorry, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone - the Vax Power 3 is only good for one thing - clogging up and requiring constant cone filter cleaning. A dreadful hunk of junk. |

Sadly thats the problem with a lot of high suction vacuums - not just exemplified by the Vax - Miele's persistence in putting its exhaust right at the top of their cylinder vacs suffers from that too when the settings are set to the highest position - one could easily argue that it depends on high low your ceiling lights are - but at the same time its one design weakness I don't like in particular - I get more of it when I bend down to change the suction setting.
Some of Bosch's cylinder vacuums have a likewise top exhaust but they diffuse the vent for the air to go backwards, away from the controls and not upright. |

It was too big to try and balance on stairs, so I had to hold it, and then all the exhaust air was in your face and it was uncomfortable |

Also it doesn't come with a brush tool, and the crevice was a bit short. |

So if the vax power 3 is the best vacuum you've ever used, then what on earth do you think of your Kirby? To be honest apart from the weight kirbys are incredible machines, if a little bulky. |
