Bought a VAX upright vacuum yesterday. Very good product, the suction is phenomenal and for the price, £99, I don't think anything can touch it. Despite this, however, there are some things about this purchase that aren't what they are supposed to be. We bought the product from Argos and the model number was quoted as U86 but the box says U85. You might think this is nothing but when you come to register it with VAX for your 6 year guarantee a search for U86 is knocked back, so U85 it is. What does concern me is the claim by VAX that the 'ultra lightweight' vacuum weighs - and I quote - '4Kg in use', when in fact it weighs 5.8Kg, exactly 45% more. We bought the vacuum on the strength of the ultra light weight because we find it difficult to cart our existing vac up the stairs now that we are knocking on a bit. Maybe VAX and VW share the same spurious claims department.
