I had the air 3 max a few months ago and had to get rid of it because it was ridiculously hard to push, and quite noisy, very in-efficient cyclone technology. I see how they think they can get away with that union flag logo on the box and in very small writing saying "designed in the UK". Designed, not made :/

Ty for posting. Not really much of a difference then or justifiable to pay so much for the new Compact model.
Gosh, so the silver one is fixed and basically Vax have reduced the dust bin capacity by not very much , either. You could in theory just unlock the handle and do the same as the stock photos from Hi-Lo show. Maybe when the EU law comes in, Vax will do another "Compact" and fit a likewise smaller motor. |

I liked the original Vax Mach Air and found it to be highly versatile. Much prefer my Reach model but sold that off. I don't miss the high motor whine. I wish bagless brands could produce the same quiet noise as the Germans, but that's just a personal issue.
I still think though that the Mach Air design is great but price has a lot to do with it - when you consider what it achieves when it has copied Dyson so closely - its a telling story that Dyson should produce a likewise "budget" upright rather than that Slim cordless thing. |

Steve, I have a suggestion :) If you want a dyson stick vac, you can always get a cheap one on eBay or a refurbished one for cheap :) If you like Ps I am interested in the DC44 |
