Vax floor cleaners and vacuum cleaners

Vax is a well-known British brand specializing in floorcare products, including vacuum cleaners, carpet washers, and steam cleaners. Founded in 1977 by Alan Brazier, the brand revolutionized the home cleaning market with the introduction of its iconic orange '3-in-1' tub vacuum cleaner, which could wash carpets as well as vacuum. Over the decades, it has evolved from a domestic UK favorite into a global competitor in the appliance industry.

While the brand originated in the United Kingdom and maintains a strong research and development presence there, most manufacturing is now conducted in Asia, particularly in China. Since 1999, Vax has been a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based multinational Techtronic Industries (TTI). This ownership has integrated Vax into a massive portfolio of power tool and appliance brands, allowing it to leverage advanced lithium-ion battery technology for its cordless range. Today, Vax remains a market leader in the UK, operating under the TTI umbrella while continuing to focus on innovation in high-performance floorcare and specialized cleaning detergents.
