OT: vacuum cleaners
« on: January 30, 2006, 11:50:27 AM »
Looking at a Vax upright and understand that they are common in Europe and Australia.

Can anyone give me some feedback and/or opinions on these machines?

Don't want to get stuck with another Vorwerk-type piece of crud.

Thanks.

I guess I'll swing by Salvation Army or Goodwill and pick up a used one.
