Weighing just 4.9kg, it’s officially the lightest, full size multi-cyclonic upright vacuum cleaner in the world, as it has all the power and capacity of a conventional upright but weighs a third less. This means it’s really easy to carry up and down stairs so it’s ideal for the elderly or those with back problems. And because it’s so slim and compact it’s easy to fit in a cupboard without taking up too much room.
There are other ultra lightweight multi cyclonic uprights on the market but their compact size means they often have much smaller dirt bins than conventional models. Vax Mach Air is different because it has a 1.5-litre dust capacity so you don’t have to stop cleaning to empty it as often.
As it uses multi cyclonic technology it doesn’t lose suction, so it gives consistently good dust pick-up. This technology works by spinning the air and dust sucked into the machine through a series of cyclones. Centrifugal force separates out the dust before it reaches the filters, so they don’t get clogged up. As long as you clean out the dust container regularly and maintain the filters as per the manual, you won’t lose suction as you clean.
Mach Air has an LED Performance Indicator so you can see straight away if there’s something blocking the airflow. It’s also been designed to be very comfortable to use, as the handle can move up and down to 8 different levels to suit your height.
If you find you’re always losing the tools on your vacuum cleaner, Mach Air solves this problem by having the upholstery, crevice and brush tools all combined in a 3-in-1 tool that’s stored on board the cleaner.
