Great compact easy to put the handle on when it arrived today got straight onto cleaning my rug with shampoo provided. Did an amazing job. Easy to empty and clean. Very very impressed. Ideal for me.
Very light, really good for me (terminal illness) have to fill quite a lot, but small so to be expected, but so easy to use and actually looks quite cool. So far a good purchase
This compact carpet cleaner is brilliant. I couldn’t believe the dirt it was sucking up. We thought our carpets were relatively clean with our Dyson but this little beauty got in deep and really flushed out the dirt. Very easy to use.
This little beauty worked magic on what I thought would be permanent stains on our light grey carpet.
Went over the stains twice and they’re totally gone. The stains had been left untreated for two weeks so I was sure they would have ‘set’.
So easy to use use too compared to the old orange machines.
This cleaner is brilliant for carpet cleaning in smaller areas. It’s also great if you need to clean areas where you walk the most. All in all a great produc
Cannot believe the filth that comes off my carpets
With a new puppy this is a must
So so easy to use and my carpets which are 13 years old look and smell like new
It’s amazing and I never normally write reviews
I am so pleased with the price and with what it does. 5 gold stars from me.
WORK WELL VERY EASY TO PUT TO GETHER I NEED TO WAIT FOR CARPET TO DRY A LITTLE DAP .
THE WATER WAS DIRTY WHEN I EMTY SO LOOKING GOOD JUST A LITTLE NORISE
I have kids that have wrecked the carpet in there playroom with sand from outside, paints, pens, playdo etc.
Need to vac normally first thoroughly. Use warm, not boiling, water and clean for best effect. Handle button releases the cleaner after a second or two. The suction won’t pull up the liquid as quick as it puts it down so do a small area and then slowly go back over it until you can’t see the water coming up anymore. Some collection of a dirtly fluff doesn’t alway get sucked up initially. Make sure you do it on a hot day with windows open, or it will smell for a few days.
Let down only by the poor design of the drain being inset rather than protruding the tank to aid with emptying.
This carpet cleaner is great value for money my carpets came up like new again found it very easy to use and light to carry upstairs fantastic suction and carpets smell great with lovely shampoo that came with i
Not one to write reviews but I absolutely love this nifty little cleaner. Have tried numerous times with supermarket hire cleaners to clean my knackered, grubby old hallway carpet with piss poor results. Amazed at how clean it’s come up with this one. Cheered me right up it has. Tank needs emptying abit but I’m not bothered. Light, easy to use and no drama giving my thick living room carpet a bash either. Glides over. Happy days
Was in two minds to buy this but so glad I did
I really didn’t think my carpets were that bad until I tried this.
I think the video and pictures speak for itself
Only didn’t give a 5 as water tanks a bit small but other than that really please with i
It’s a good product but not over powerful. You moved need to do it couple times to get a perfect clean only annoying thing is the water tank is so small you have to keep filling it all the time which is a bit tedious.
This is the second one we have owned, The first one literally gave up the ghost after my husband started using it as a means of exercise during lockdown. Never had such clean carpets. He’s joined a gymnast now so carpets only getting done once a month. Great for homes with muddy dogs
I opened the windows, after part of our carpet was cleaned. Can’t get over looking and the part of the carpet that was cleaned compared with the carpet that was not cleaned.
I liked that it was easy to assemble and use and I am a very old lady! Was a bit disappointed that it didn’t suck back up as much of the cleaning solution as I was expecting/hoping. Haven’t tried to use it on the stairs yet. Over all I feel it was a good buy.

Lightweight and compact.
Only issue is on all the carpets I’ve tried it on, at two different properties, it creates huge, wet furballs which I then have to clean up. I, basically, have to clean up after this cleaner. The first pic shows loads of furballs it created in only a 5.5×5 foot area and the second shows how large they can be.
It’s so easy to use ,lightweight. Drys fairly quickly if you use it after cleaning without water just hoover it with your vax.
It brought my carpet up lovely and I could not believe how many cat hairs were in the carpet especially after hoovering the carpet before cleaning.
I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed. Pick a nice day out with a breeze and open your windows. Job done.
Used with the 1001 carpet cleaning solution also sold on Amazon and had great result.
The carpet cleaned up really well and almost looked new.
The only issue I found was that as this machine is compact in size you constantly have to keep re filling the clean bottle and emptying the dirty water unit.
This was not a major issue but a little problematic when you are cleaning upstairs and have to keep coming downstairs to refill or empty the units bottles.
Other than this little niggle its a good machine for its price.
This was really easy and quick to assemble. I love that it is small enough to manoeuvre and carry up and downstairs. It cleans well and the carpets dry pretty quickly too. The only thing I struggle with is removing the front nozzle for cleaning. The instructions say it pulls off but after a frustrating 30 minutes I resorted to prying it off with a palette knife and even then it took enough force that I worried about breaking it. Also having to unscrew the base plate to clean the brush is a bit more diy than I want to do. Overall though I’m pleased with it.
and delightfully shocked at how filthy the carpet was!!
Less happy how slowly it took to dry off, windows and doors open for 10 hours, warm day, then Was away for 3 days and came back to a horrible smell of wet sheep ( carpet synthetic) room needed plenty of airing again.
A slight gripe, the dirty water container can’t be dissembled for cleaning. And I could not get the brush detached either. Didn’t want to force it. I’m fortunate enough to have a hose attachment on my sink so I was able to use that. It can be done, but I’m sure it could be manufactured differently for ease of cleaning.
Overall I’m glad I got it. It is light weight even with a full water tank. Easy to use. I only need to use it once more and it’s covered it’s cost compared with eg: RugDoctor hire.
Hope this helps others
My Daughter thought the amount of hair was a deceased bird, there was so much of it!!
What we didn’t like..Husband had to dismantle the roller to get to all the grit/fluff/dirt to clean it properly…imagine it would pong after a while if just stored away dirty…
I did the two bedrooms in the morning..hall n lounge as we went to bed…drying time for us was about 4 hours
Would we buy again/recommend…very much so
Value for money and I
Very pleased with this purchase. I had bought and returned another brand because suction wasn’t great, so I had expected this to be better but hadn’t realised just how much better! My carpet was heavily soiled, and is like new. Stains and smells are gone and it’s fluffy again. I might add I have a dog, so carpet probably worse than others. Can’t wait to do the while house with this. Highly recommended.
Its perfect for my needs, I live in a bungalow so no stairs, it would not be useful on stairs. Most of my floors are hard wood but I do have a number of rugs, and for those its ideal. None too heavy and small enough for storage.
Great little machine lightweight easy to use I use a different shampoo in it works as well as if not better than the vax one
I live in a flat so ideal dries carpets quick
Wouldn’t be without mine
What a great cleaner so easy to use no issues what so ever and did a fantastic job on normal carpets. Can’t see how you would use it on stairs there is not attachment hence one star for that. The tank of water lasts a couple of minutes and I needed about five tanks for an average room but it’s so easy to refill. The dirty water tank holds about 2/3 tanks of water. My carpets are really clean and bright looking defiantly a great buy really recommend
Attractive and easy to use, it made my old carpet look like new and kept spewing out great clumps of pet hair. As always with these things, it wasn’t too easy to clean the actual machine afterwards. I didn’t buy it for the tools it didn’t come with, so can’t really comment on cleaning stairs with it.
For someone with a bad back…I needed a carpet cleaner that was light weight, easy to put together…..and take apart to empty. I don’t have stairs to clean but it is excellent on flat carpet and rugs. Suction power excellent!!
I think for the size and price this is more than adequate for small areas of carpet. I am pleased with the results I have had so far after 5 uses – yes the water reservoir does not hold much but if any bigger the machine would be a lot heavier – easy to fill so no biggie. I agree a pain to have to unscrew the brush protector to clean out any debris but really not sure how people are so bothered as you don’t need to unscrew as after use it is easy to scoop up any carpet pile or pet hair when wet as slides out and most is at the back and side of the brush – I bought a sink plug hair remover (a long flexible narrow plastic stick) just in case but up to now not had to use. I do have a large heavy duty Vax Rapide carpet cleaner which is still going after over 20 years and have to get the pet hair out of the brush in same way – really like this new much lighter version which great for quick clean ups. Well worth
buying.
I really like it. Perfect for the rooms, but unfortunately can’t use it for the staircase cause it’s too big.
Our carpet was really dirty had to refill the water bottle nearly 10 times. Does the job and cleans the carpet very well. I recommend it.
ASSEMBLY WAS EASY. TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER.
ALTHOUGH THE MACHINE IS QUITE NOISY, IT IS NOT AS BAD AS SOME I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST.
THE BRUSHES ROTATING MAKE A BIG DIFERENCE TO HOW WELL THE CARPETS ARE CLEANED. IF YOU HAVE FAIRLY THICK CARPETS, MAN MADE OR WOOL, GO OVER THE CARPET A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXTRACTED AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE.
I HAD MY CARPETS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED LAST YEAR. BUT I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE RESULTS AND HOW LONG THEY TOOK TO DRY. THIS LITTLE MACHINE BROUGHT MY CARPETS UP VERY WELL. THEY DID NOT TAKE AS LONG TO DRY AS THE PROFESSIONAL CLEANER. AFTER A QUICK VACUUM THE NEXT DAY, THEY LOOK VERY NICE AND SMELL CLEAN.
REMEMBER, THIS IS A LITTLE CARPET CLEANER. DON’T ASK IT TO DO TOO BIG A JOB.
ALSO, AFTER EMPTYING THE MACHINE, MAKE DOUBLY SURE YOU PUT THE PLUG BACK IN REALLY TIGHT. IF YOU DON’T THE MACHINE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP AS MUCH WATER!
GOOD LUCK.
I can’t tell you just how pleased I am with this compact cleaner, easy to assemble, light and did an amazing job with my carpet, would whole hearty recommend. Easy to use and to clean. Very impressed.
Needed a carpet cleaner but didn’t want to spend a fortune. Well I’m so glad I bought this, it is amazing and at such an affordable price too. If you are looking for a carpet cleaner that’s lightweight and easy to use, then I recommend this one.
Having decorated my Daughter’s modestly-sized Bedroom, I wanted to clean the Carpet before putting all the furniture back.
The bedroom is regularly well-swept, so I was very surprised at the level of congealed dust that resulted from using the Vax. Plus, the colour of the resulting dirty water was horrific. Despite appearances you don’t appreciate how dirty a Carpet can get over time.
It wasn’t the reason for buying the Vax, but my Daughter suffers from mild Asthma: so the added benefit of using the Vax is to further remove the ingrained dust present in her Bedroom Carpet.
Highly recommended.
I’m over the moon with my vax cleaner. I was thinking of buying new carpets so glad I bought a vax instead my carpets look brilliant and smell fresh. I thought my carpets would be quite wet but no the suction left carpets quite dry. I have Really easy to use, lightweight and easy to clean after use. Thank you VAX
I was not looking for something to do a whole room , just several dirty patches, including two large dirty marks. It cleaned the big marks very well indeed. Perhaps as well I did not want to do a big room as a tank full does have it’s limitations. The instructions say vacuum the room beforehand, which is more than necessary , as even with pre-vacuuming I found with the strong suction it was picking up a lot of fluff, so cleaning out after use is an absolute essential.
It is decent value and does a good job, but don’t expect industrial usage.
Though it about time to clean my carpets after 20 years !
Found it easy to use; just fill up the reservoir with warm water and add the cleaning solution.
Works nicely on the floors; a bit more cumbersome doing the stairs.
It is noisy, just wear ear plugs !
This is a fantastic cleaner and just right for smaller areas . It cleans Really well and made my carpets look like new.
Handy size to clean carpet whenever required. We have an elderly dog who is incontinent and wees on the carpet regularly. I have only used the cleaner once as I’ve only had it two days but it did a good job. Removed a lot of dirt. Not much larger than some vacuum cleaners and easy to use. I am happy so far with it.
Big enough tank for a large room, easy to use and at a good price.
what a lovely surprise. lived up to its reviews and some, quality at an affordable price, excellent suction and not too heavy for an elderly disabled lady to use, in the past I have bought some rubbish one.
What I really like about this carpet cleaner is that it’s super easy to use: you just fill the vertical tub with warm water and a bit of carpet shampoo and you go! The dirt is collected in the container that is closer to the carpet. You empty that, refill the top one and repeat until you’re done. I prefer to treat the carpets last thing before bedtime, so they have time to dry out till the morning. Great tool!
Easy to use with instructions on the cleaner so easy to understand. Carpets look as good as new after using. Well pleased with this Vax.
This is a good product for cleaning carpet instructions are easy to follow not to heavy to use
Carpet refreshed and not too wet only but is as others have stated in order to clean the brushes there are 5 or six screws to take off in order to get to the brushes and disentangle the hair and debris accumulated around the brushes and it needs to be done every time design could be improved but otherwise happy
This nifty cleaner has been excellent on my rugs. Great suction. Was surprised how clean my rug came up in the hall where there is lots of traffic. Highly recommend
The washer is compact and does not take much space. It is very easy to use – takes minutes to fill the clean water and detergent and to empty the dirty water. The cleaning is good enough and in line with similar or even more expensive ones.
I come from a family that owns a carpet cleaning company in Greece for more that 40 years. I saw this one suggested on comments for a different cleaner and that’s how I found it!Arrived this morning and I already used it and I can’t happier.The carpets are really old and stepped who know for how many years.I also have two dogs that who have thrown up multiple times on them.The results are amazing.One small tip:Do go fast.Give time to the brushes and the suction to do their magic
Used it for the first time to freshen my lounge carpet. Very pleased with the result. Not too heavy to use and not complicated.
I found this carpet washer extremely easy to use and very light to push and pull. It cleaned my cream carpets which have been down for over 4 years very well. I was pleased that they came up so well without having to soak the carpets.
I have a dehumidifier and the carpets dried very quickly with the help of this unit. I also washed slightly shaggy navy bedside rugs which are even older. I was a little apprehensive with these having a longish pile, but it did the job beautifully!
This carpet cleaner was easy to assemble, to fill, use and empty. It is light weight, convenient and efficient so I have used it several times already and will continue to do so.
Takes at least 6 hours to dry.
If you go over the carpet a few times sucking the water up, I think the time would have been better.
Suction good and better than normal hoover (animal hair extra …so called hoover).
Had Hoovered before but picked up so much dog hair.
Does not do the stairs as no attachments.
Maybe have been better to pay a little more for a button for just suction to try and get any excess water up. And one with stairs attachments.
Suggested in instructions, if you did not move furniture to put foil underneath the legs. I suggest that you keep this on the feet until carpet fully dried.
Next clean ….when the sun is shining and warmer.
The bottle which came with it did hall and living room and still some left.
When finished, does leak abit until machine fully dry (yes I emptied it) so stand on paper (we used puppy pads which had spare !).
You don’t have to unscrew the front to clean when finished, I lifted the whole machine up to clean the front, to run under the tap.
Well what can I say. After having the stupid orange drag around Henry styled Vax for so long that literally only sucks water up and I had to manually scrub the stains myself, I was very impressed with how aggressive the scrubbing brush is on this tiny upright. This things idiot proof. Had a oil stain that I’ve been saving on the carpet in the hallway for months and either the solution supplied with this is really really good or the brush is that good it makes light work of the stain. Even the parts that looked clean come up even brighter. The suction beats the oldie hands down the carpet is practically dry. There is a minor set back that I really don’t mind as I don’t really have much carpet and that’s the size of the tanks for clean and dirty water but it would be cruel to give it any bad review as it’s marketed as a lightweight compact carpet cleaner. If you have a load of carpet then get the bigger one. If it’s remotely as good as this you won’t be disappointed. The old orange one has been stripped for the motor for fume extraction in the shed and the plastic wanged in the trash. I now have a nice clean great smelling carpet.
The product was bought to clean old carpets, for which it did a sterling job. It is very easy to use and clean.
Its light weight makes it easier to use than the old one with no perceptible reduction in effectiveness, though naturally one filling covers a slightly smaller area.
The carpet washer is light weight/ suction is extremely gd/ brushes lift the carpet & cleaning afterwards is a breeze……can’t use on stairs cause it doesn’t have attachments.
I used to have a VAX carpet cleaner many years ago; it worked well enough but was heavy and unwieldy and was very difficult to clean. This product however is far better; it cleans carpets really well and is light enough for my wife to handle (so that let’s me off the hook and is reason enough to buy it guys), and it’s easy to clean too.
However it doesn’t have any cleaning attachments, for upholstery etc and, as others have commented, cleaning the brush unit involves the use of a screwdriver (so guys, you will need to get involved after all).
This is perfect for cleaning up after a puppy who’s not yet toilet trained.
Gets stains and dark marks out with ease.
Leaves a nice fresh subtle smell that’s not overpowering or dominating.
I would advise after doing a pass with the trigger pulled in do a few very slow passes again without any spray to get the most moisture out of the carpet.
Carpet’s still a bit damp after use but dries quick.
Comes with a mini bottle of their platinum solution, I found the ultra+ pet solution works better for my needs.
If you’re doing a main room you will need to refill the bottle a couple of times, 1 bottle is perfect for a hallway/landing.
Bought this to replace a wet and dry Vax I had for years. What an improvement! Lighter and easy to manoeuvre. Beating action removes marks much easier and leaves carpet much drier than my old model. Should have bought one ages ago.
I ‘uhmed’ and Ahmed’ about buying this and looked at the other models with more attachments on here but ultimately the compact lightweight and vax name just tipped it for me.
I can’t tell you how amazed I am by this, easy to set up, use, fill and empty – ok so you might have several fill and empty trips to do but honestly that’s a small price to pay to have a fabulously clean carpet. It took 5 fills for two large bedrooms. Very little solution needed and like new carpets!
Great product for price .so easy to use bought this to suck up water from a leak from next door into my shop.. capet soaking wet sucked up buckets full of water . Wouldn’t be any good on stairs but great for traffic areas . You cant add on to
it with tools you need to buy one with tools at the time of purchase. Definitely worth
the money though.. no Good for hard floors,carpets only
Easy to put together. Clear instruction booklet. Small bottle of shampoo included. Easy to clean the machine parts apart from the front head which needs unscrewing. Very effective at cleaning the carpet. Suction power great. Small and compact to store but man enough for the job.
I just rented a flat and it didn’t smell nice. I suspected the carpets (deodoriser powders and vacuums didn’t really work) I can only describe the waste water from the carpet as liquid mud. The carpets are damp but already smell and look so much better. Money very well spent. (Did consider hiring a carpet cleaner but for 99 I can clean my carpets whenever) Yes. Very pleased and certainly recommend this.
I will say that the fresh water bottle runs out quite quickly and the area it cleans is small so several refills and emptying of dirty water container needed for larger rooms. The machine noise changes when the dirty water container is full and it no longer sucks ftom the carpet, so you know when it needs emptying without needing to check it.
Easy to use carpets came up lovely and clean suction is great, carpets were almost dry only down side cleaning it afterwards was difficult as regards the brush area, I think the design on the brush removal could be made easie
I only gave 3 stars for easy to use as I have a bad back and even the lightweight vacuum cleaner aggravates it. On the whole 99 percent brilliant! Really happy with this purchase!
Machine was very easy to use and gave effective results. Carpets were clean once used. It has two water containers one for clean one for dirty water so you are always using clean water. Easy to clean and put back together when used. Carpets took longer to dry than stated time but that was probably down to me when first using the machine. I had to keep remembering to let go of the trigger when wanting to suck up water.
Once familiar with the machine its very simple to use which is its greatest feature, and left the carpet looking and feeling fresh. After use I take it outside to hose down the brush head and filter making cleaning easy as well
Great machine, brings up carpet like new.
Haven’t tried on stairs, only downside is I would have liked a nozzle attachment for corners
All in all though I would highly recommend.
Great value for money
Excellent cleaner. Small, compact and fairly lightweight. Cleans well leaving carpets only slightly damp.
My only criticism is the dirty water tank rubber plug is indented to keep it flush with the exterior of the tank, however this means that inside the tank it’s raised about 5mm. This prevents you draining all the water out.
Such a small , but stupid design fault. The other problem is that the brush bar cover traps dirt which cannot be cleaned without unscrewing the whole bottom section- completely impractical. If the top, clear part of the cover clipped off, it could be cleaned as well as the brush. WHO actually designs these products- presumably someone that doesn’t use them in real life.
Absolutely delighted with my Vax compact carpet cleaner, so glad I chose this as perfect for my needs as I only have a large rug in my living room and stairs and landing, although doesn’t come wth any attachments I think if I carefully hold the machine I could actually do each step, the dirt that came out of my rug is disgusting, it’s very light weight to use and very powerful . It was extremely simple to put together, you won’t be disappointed
This little machine is wonderful so easy to use & splendid result. I live in a bungalow so no stairs ‘ small rooms & rugs but very manoeuvrable. Performed as I hoped it would & more
This is a great carpet cleaner. Very good value and easy to use. It’s easy to empty and refill but this does need to be done frequently. I was amazed at how well it brought up the carpets and my living room rug. I’d highly recommend this, you won’t be disappointed.
This machine is so easy to use, it’s lightweight but very powerful, I couldn’t believe the results. I live in a house with no stairs so can’t comment on how it would clean them
Bought this to replace our old vax, wanted something smaller as we only have carpets upstairs also easier to store.
Easy to set up & much lighter weight ,comes with a small shampoo which is probably enough for one room.Cleans well so far only small niggles not easy to clean around the brush bar you have to take out the screws.
Dirty water container only a small hole to clean it out and no attachments to clean stairs ,but it is there entry level machine so maybe this is reflected in the price.
I would give this cleaner 10 stars if I could.I already had a Vax cleaner but I have been finding it too heavy to use.A friend recommended the Vax compact carpet cleaner and I am so pleased she did.I recently had a new kitchen fitted and my hall and lounge carpets were very dirty.They look like new after only one clean with the Vax clearer.It is also light and easy to use.A brilliant buy.
I have a small bungalow and 3 large dogs, so dirt etc gets tracked into the house and carpets. Bought this vax, as I dont have much storage space and the reviews seemed pretty good. I really like it. Yes, you do have to refill the water/solution is few times if you’re doing a large area but it’s really made a difference to my rugs and carpets. I would recommend, its lightweight and easy to use too.
I purposefully bought this as having previously had a all singing carpet washer that was great when younger and lived in house, I now needed a more lightweight and compact machine. this ticks those boxes.
However just to bring to your attention. The maintenance side of things ie cleaning the roller bar, nozzle etc is A RIGHT PAIN in the ****
It requires you to remove 6+ Screws different sizes and then obviously remember were they fit when reassembling. I havnt quite got the hang of how to clean the nozzel other than rinsing. There is a ( filter) too , I found using an old toothbrush helped.
It overall suits my purposes as I dont need to wash carpets more than twice a year , I don’t have pets or kids. for spot cleaning your better with hand held supermarket products.
It recommend using Vax products to ensure guarentee is kept etc. I manage 2 small carpets with a one lt bottle.
Its early days as only used twice, once on my carpets, then again at friends house.
we actually split the cost…good saving if your retired-chronic ill.
overall yes I would recommend for flat,bungelow etc but a larger family size home or if you have stairs or want to use in car this is not right product.
This is a nice little carpet cleaner. It definitely does a brilliant job at cleaning.
I got this because my elderly dog wees everywhere. This gets it all out the carpet.
It’s easy to put together and clean. Lighter than most.
Brilliant bit of household essentials
Love this little carpet cleaner. My carpets have been desperately needing cleaned for a long time but I was not in a position to justify the cost of a cleaner. I also have a very small house so was worried about using a massive, heavy, bulky cleaner. This one is perfect for me, it’s a great price and because it’s a vaxx i.knew I would be able to trust it. It’s small and very lightweight. The detergent that comes with it smells lovely too. The only downside is that because it’s small, the dirty water chamber fills quickly but it’s a doddle to empty and add new water to the clean water section. I have only done upstairs and was shocked at the colour of the water considering we don’t wear shoes upstairs at all. All in all, highly recommended,I’m delighted with my purchase.
Disadvantage: spare toothbrush going to be your best friend cleaning under the brush, because it takes up a lots of hair and stuff from the carpet even tho its hoovered properly.
It can’t be pulled apart, unless you unscrew the bottom, which is alot of work.
And lastly ” Noise ” its loud.
I still would buy again, because it gets the job ( Done ).
Just moved house and this carpet cleaner has literally transformed the living room. Thought the carpet may have to go but I am shocked at how well the vax lifted trodden in and built up dirt within the pile. It’s super easy to use, light, compact and well priced. Loving this product.
The brushes are stiff to rotate, not power driven. Does the job, and is lightweight.
I have a much bigger Vax carpet shampooer but it was getting too heavy for me too use. I have a very mucky dog so a carpet shampooers is a vital part of my life. I was a bit reluctant to buy a smaller version to the one I have got but I am so glad I did.
So easy to put together. Took about 5 minutes. I was amazed how good it was if not better than my old one. Whizzed through my whole house in no time. Even got an old stain up that I thought was irremovable.
Even when I vacuum there are always a certain amount of dog hair left which tended to get stuck in my old shampooer. With this one it is so easy to clear because the area under the brush is so accessible.
Would recommend.
This has only been in my possession for a matter of hours so this might be a premature review, but this is already my new favourite toy!! Very lightweight and easy to use, and the results are disgusting and satisfying in equal measures. Came with a 250ml bottle of cleaning solution which I hadn’t realised – easily enough to do a few rooms. You can control how much liquid is sprayed and you can keep going over the carpet without spraying liquid if you want to suck up as much liquid as possible.
If you rent you MUST buy one of these . We got this after getting a new place and thinking that the carpets needed a wash . This was cheaper than getting it done by a company as they wanted to charge us 80 quid for just the living room .
We literally did a quick test strip over the carpet and LOOK at the dirt that came out. We are very impressed. Its so worth getting.
The tank does empty quick but thats a good thing as it uses a nice lot of water to clea
I purchased a bigger more expensive vax carpet cleaner but when this broke I opted for this one as it suited my budget better. I wasn’t expecting it to match up to my previous carpet cleaner, but I’m impressed. It is so light and cleaned my carpets and rugs just as good as my bigger more expensive vax! The only difference is this one has a smaller tank therefore you have to fill and empty it more.
