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.

Don't know much about VAx Forty, but the Dyson's work as good as advertised!

That's a sure way to find out you're getting old.
