Vax VZL-6017 Mach 7

Excellent pet hair removal: 1 sweep. One of the quieter uprights tested. Auto rewind flex and headlight. Good filter efficiency. Can reach 21 stairs

Heaviest upright tested and very bulky. Dust canister is a bit tough to refit after emptying

Cord rewind

Very heavy, tips over very easily when using hose and attachements.

The vaccuum is quite heavy - so anybody without upper body strength might find it difficult to take upstairs to use in bedrooms etc

Good suction and general performance on most surfaces.

A bit heavy to push around and lift.

Suction very good, easy to empty canister

Very heavy, no easy carrying handle for taking upstairs

Excellent

Extension to hose for stairs needs to be kept separate as there is no place to keep it on the VAX. Hose extension not easy to attach due to proximity of pipe attachments. Collected dust not always easy to empty when it gets trapped above the plastic...

ease of use very quite and the cable rewind
