Vax

How ethical is Vax?

Vax is an appliance brand which was developed in 1977 by Alan Brazier, who developed a prototype machine which was suitable for domestic use but capable of industrial feats such as washing carpets and handling spillage or flooding.

Vax has achieved an acceptable score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Vacuum Cleaners Ratings Table but Ethical Accreditation has not yet been achieved. This is important because it provides additional warranty on the company’s wider ethical, sustainable, and social policies and records.
