I have just got the Airflex and use the same method of getting it in the van as i did the Ninja tilt it back get the front wheels in then lift the back in its not that hard and i am a bit of a wimp, for a higher sided van the wheels on the back handles can be used i dont find it much harder than the Ninja

As I said James, I've got a raised floor so I can't load it like I did with the Ninja.

I can load it on it's back with the handle wheels, but it's a pain because I have to ensure that it is completely empty of water and remove the dump valve front and protect the waste tank lid.

I must say it's a cracking machine, but it's got a couple of design flaws.

The waste tank lid is flimsy compared to the Ninja and who thought it was a good idea to put the dump valve immediately above the electric cables, plus each time I put my hand in the waste tank to pull out congealed fluff, I dislodge the filter.

Other than that the suction with the 3rd vac is the nuts.
