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!
