VAX - Vacuums that suck

Let me just vent my spleen over the latest home purchase in the Geordie cave - a Vax vacuum.
Sold somewhat aggressively by eager beaver reps positioned in ambush formation upstairs in PcWorld (or pissyWorld as I prefer - more on (moron) that at a later date.

Ok, it wasn't as expensive as the shiny new Dyson thingy but, I was confidently reassured by the salesbody that all aspects of domestic vacuumery would be amply catered for with the new, sparkly Vax model.








Not so..... The external dust filter/cap flies off across the room, behaving like a clown car falling to bits upon ignition. It also periodically switches off, which appears to be a result of overheating. This is ironic somewhat, as it can't possibly be working up a sweat through over-exertion in the sucking department.Imagine, if you will, the latest Hollywood bagbuster movie Vacuum Club - 'What happens on the carpet stays on the carpet

**artistic paraphrasing was employed in the preceding statement**


Wish I'd bought the Dyson..
