Hi All,

I have a 110v Multicyclonic Upright and the 240v Multicyclonic Canister and the Linx as well.

I was wondering why both of these are no longer sold, but the bagged canister and linx still are? Was there issues with them?

I read online that the Lynx had a problem with the suction tube at the back leading to the floor head - but they may well have replaced it with this new Vax / Hoover Windtunnel cordless model - would make a lot of sense to, if it pulls more money in and if it is slightly heavier.

But then I would like to see Vax/TTI produce a similar cordless upright to the AEG Ergorapido with a hand held that comes out of the body. I find them remarkably easier at times.

Hoover USA has the Presto 2-1 vacuum; converts from stick vac to hand-held.  Why don't Vax UK have the Hoover Presto type vac there like Hoover USA does?

Well, just because TTI own Hoover doesn't mean every model Hoover in the U.S gets over here in the UK in the form of a Vax model.

I guess it comes down to market trends. That Presto stick vac uses a conventional cordless battery over the far longer running, quicker charging Linx/Life (Vax Life as it is called), so there's every possibility that Vax UK only wanted to sell that model instead of old models.
