How long ago? Thought they went under about ten years ago and are now just a name attached to some larger company. We had an old vax wet upright from 90s that was good, and a slightly newer cylinder wet job. Both needed a motor every 3 years, but cheap and easy to change. And both were used way beyond what they were designed for. I think one end broke at some point, years beyond warranty and vax just sent one out for free, maybe the reason they didn't survive, their products lasted too long!

We bought a mini VAX when they first started trying to get market share in the UK. It was massively discounted somewhere like lidl. Been impressed at how well it keeps going (and how small it is) but like any of these bagless things you do need to clean it out properly.
