Vax - vacuum cleaners, which first went on sale in the last century. At that time they were innovative devices. With their help it was possible to make dry and wet cleaning in various rooms.

Having made his dream a reality, he invented a novelty that became a real sensation. This device was immediately appreciated by customers, the demand for it has reached a high level almost from the first days of sales. Thanks to such popularity, other manufacturers soon expanded their range with washing models.
About the manufacturer
The first washing vacuum cleaner was invented in 1977. It was then that Vax was founded. Vacuum cleaners are the main products of this company. Under the brand name Vax, devices for commercial and domestic use are sold. The company was founded by engineer A. Brazer. The brand is currently owned by a large corporation TTI Group (China). The company has expanded its range and, in addition to vacuum cleaners, is engaged in the production of heaters, washing machines, dehumidifiers and air purifiers.

Short review
Vax - vacuum cleaners manufactured using proprietary technologies. The devices combine design, technical specifications and functionality. You can use this type of equipment for general cleaning of carpets, upholstery of upholstered furniture, as well as for everyday cleaning. Almost all models are large, quite heavy, but maneuverable, thanks to the available wheels. The case in washing vacuum cleaners is vertical, in classic ones it is standard. Suction power is sufficient for high-quality cleaning. For example, during wet processing, the floor surface dries instantly, and carpet or upholstery within one to four hours. In the kit there are many nozzles, thanks to which you can clean up even in the most inaccessible places. Given that such vacuum cleaners are designed for use on large areas, the manufacturer equips its models with a long power cord - 5-10 meters. The length of service life depends on many factors. For example, the instructions indicate that during wet cleaning only a special detergent can be used, otherwise an excess of foaming can cause the motor to burn out. If everything is done correctly, then vacuum cleaners will last at least 10 years. And this, of course, is an indicator of the quality of not only the material and parts, but also the assembly.
