Yup this one has a power head - Vax have 3 models currently with one. Guessing it's got something to do with the TTI connection.... Seamus |

It does look well thought out, and I particularly like the small footprint it has when stood on end. At first glance it appears to have a Dyson Telescope-esque hose and wand setup, but from reading the manual it's actually a conventional separate telescopic wand which I prefer. Separate tools, as opposed to one those daft combo things, is another plus point, and I'm always happy to see another powerhead.
Something tells me it might get hung up easily on door frames and furniture, but I'll reserve judgement on that until I've seen one close up. The only thing that really bothers me is the 1.5 metre (5') hose, if the stats on the Argos website are correct. Maybe keeping it nipping at your heels is the key to stopping it getting caught up on obstacles behind you? Really though I'd prefer 1.8 metres (6') as an absolute minimum, preferably even more. It is a bit spendy, but Vax products usually do launch with a vastly inflated price tag. That will soon come down, especially considering Vax run more sales than DFS throughout the course of the year. |

Myself and a few others have purchased one of these each as they are £stupidcheap at the moment! Mine should be here tomorrow, I imagine 2 others will be too as we all ordered before 12pm! Can't wait. Do have a black Miele S5 to put on ebay though, and a DC05 to sell to pay for it! |

i had a while ago and wasn't that impressed it got caught on stuff very easily and the power head is really inconvenient to use i have to use it the right way or it doesn't touch the floor and the tools are just too big and the cyclone terrible the filter gets really dirty very quickly but it's a great collectors piece and cleaned very well £100 very good for the price

it's multi-cyclonic or bust. Why would Vax even bother if it's going to be another high-maintenance, poor filtering bagless that takes a major step backward, while hyping its forward-thinking? If a company can't design a proper bagless filtration setup, just make the cleaner bagged and throw a baker's dozen in the box.

It's kind of cool. Wish it were bagged. I'd buy one if it came to the US |

Lol no worries. It's a vax product, so it won't be brilliant, every modern vax I've had has had a fatal flaw! I hope Roger gets one to review, I haven't got a good enough video camera or voice to do a speaky video... |

Well gang, looks like we will be waiting a while to get one here in the states. I contacted Hoover and inquired about the machine and if/when it would be released over here, here is the response I got back on it:
Hello, Thank you for contacting Hoover Customer Care at www.Hoover.com.... We do sometimes share designs between our US and UK brands, but that we don't have any immediate plans to import this model. There's always the chance that our plans could change in the future, but as of right now, it won't be available in the US anytime soon. Sincerely, Evelyn Hoover Customer Care 1-800-944-9200 Monday - Friday 8am-7pm EST TTI FloorCare North America 7005 Cochran Road Glenwillow Ohio 44139 www.Hoover.com |
