    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI purchased this vax to clean my holiday let carpets, it’s brilliant and drys very quickly if you go over it twice without squeezing the fluid .
    It’s replaced my previous vax and I’m not disappointed

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersBought this to do hall and bedroom carperts it did a great job but beware it stopped sucking up the water after looking at it i discovered the air filter at the back of the waste tank had blocked with carpet fluff i removed it with a toothbrush and all was perfect again its only a small filter so be aware

    First time using my new carpet cleaner today, it was fantastic I’m happy to recommend to friends and family, it’s smaller than I thought but easy to assemble and easy to use, just right for what I need it for. The tank don’t hold much but that’s OK as it leaves carpets looking like new.

    Great carpet cleaner. However the only fault I can find so far, is that the actual machine is hard to clean! It cleans so well, pet fur accumulates along with dirt which almost jams the brushes underneath. A bad design for cleaning the actual machine sadly.

    I’ve used it twice as only received it 2 days ago, it’s great for picking up loose cat hair but clogged it up. Only problem is I’m not sure how wet the carpets meant to get as the carpet doesn’t feel very wet to touch. Can anyone let me know if there’s is the same please. Thanks

    Does the job mostly if it works! Not good for high pile rugs, like the plush ones. Mine started to leak from behind after 2 usages and and it started tripping my fuse box several times. To bad, almost a good product.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersThe item was easy to assemble and the instructions are basic but straight forward. I had a bit of a nightmare when removing the dirty water tank to empty it, it was a little fiddly and it spilt all over the floor, Luckily I was in the kitchen so it was easy to wipe up off the tiles. Pleased with the results, it’s so satisfying seeing the yucky dirty water and the pet hair in the tank, due to having 2 dogs I hoover every other day and had hoovered prior to using the carpet cleaner so I was shocked to see how much hair was in the tank and wrapped in the brushes!! Im a little disappointed that the smell of the solution isn’t stronger, although the smell is pleasant I do like stronger smelling fragrances around the home, it’s not enough to knock off a star though and won’t be an issue if you don’t like strong fragrances, as long as it cleans the carpets and removes dirt that’s the main thing. It’s definitely worth having especially if you do have pets and/or children, it brings carpets back to life. Saw a few comments saying it’s loud, i personally don’t think it’s that much louder than your average hoover. It also comes with a bag (which has a hanger on) to store your accessories/solutions/instruction manual etc which is a nice extra. I found it easy to use and got the hang of it pretty quickly (press the handle when pushing forward, release the handle when pulling back) I haven’t tried the pre treatment wand or smaller nozzle yet so can’t comment on those. Overall I would recommend this item and think it’s definitely good quality for the price.

    Am so pleased with the vax.
    Delivery was fast being two days early.
    Works perfectly and has a good suction on it.
    I haven’t tried the attachment yet for the stairs but am more then sure its going to do the trick!
    No more smelly dog carpets!!

    I have taken on a couple of rescue hounds who’ve spent their lives in kennels so house training is a work in progress and this machine has been a god send. Accidents are becoming far fewer now so hopefully soon it won’t be needed so much. This is a precautionary tale, if you are thinking of rehoming a retired greyhound it may not plain sailing but it’s not their fault!!

    Finally a product that really does what it says in the tin!
    I was impressed , as well because is not that expensive thus making it the perfect machine for everyone!
    I have a dog that still sometimes in the night will do a little wee in the carpet and it can stink! ;(
    But fear no more! With the pre-wash product detergent and the main detergent wash after , it’s unbelievable how all odours go away !
    Im very satisfied !

    I bought this as with we have a rather energetic 8 month old dog that likes to get himself in all colours of dirt.
    I was warned not to buy Vax as they’re not very good, but for my budget and the required functionality this model seemed like the best option.
    Fairly easy to assemble, I have only given it a very quick test on this rug and I’m impressed with the cleaning power and suction to remove excess water. What a difference already! Recommended!

    Excellent value for money

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersFirstly delivery was fast.
    All parts were neatly in the box. It’s super easy to assemble. Not to heavy . However if you have trouble lifting things then the stairs is going to be hell of a challenge.
    It has a long cable. Again the stairs are awkward. If you use the smaller cleaning adaption (which is ideal for stairs) you have to take the whole unit with you. The smaller adaption has a very short pipe I found. I personally have a steep stair case , which tested my balance ability as the stairs themselves aren’t wide enough for the hoover to sit on . I had the task of making sure it didn’t fall with one hand and clean with the other.
    The main hoover part to me isn’t that great. It will clean however the smaller adaption does a better job. So I used that for the entire floor. This then increased the time I spent doing it. However that is down to personal preference.
    It does sound like a jet engine. Yep it’s louder than loud. So I’d hold off doing the carpets at 1am.
    You really need to Hoover well, before hand. It won’t work as efficiently if it gets bits trapped in the suction parts .
    It comes with a small bag to put all the accessories in. (A nice touch I would say)
    All in all it takes a bit of effort . And ear defenders are a good idea ! However it’s simple to use . It leaves the carpet relatively dry. You won’t have to wait long until it’s completely dry . The water tank fills up pretty quick . You’ll be amazed at what it’s sucked up when you empty it.
    I personally leave the shampoo on for about 15 mins before going over it with the hoover. Giving it time to really soak into the carpet. It’s also so easy to get out and wash a small spill if needed. Again a bit heavy but pretty quick with minimal hassle .
    Oh I did have a paint spill 4 years ago. Now to the naked eye I had thought I had completely cleaned it up. I run this hoover over and you could see the paint being sucked up by the hoover. I did find that impressive . That proved to me it really does get all the embedded dirt out.

    I bought this on Black Friday because I’d borrowed a family member’s machine enough times to think I ought to get my own! Theirs is the big Vax Platinum with Auto-Mix tanks. I knew this one didn’t have that feature but could take a few minutes to measure out the solution myself for the price difference.

    This certainly holds its own against the Platinum when it comes to cleaning carpets and even outweighs it in some aspects. It’s much lighter which makes taking it up and down the stairs less of an extreme sport, and although it’s still loud to use it doesn’t leave my ears ringing when I switch it off. The smaller size makes it easier to store too.

    The tank capacity is very good, giving me 2 bedroom carpets and dog bed cleaned at Max capacity without having to refill, and it pulls a decent amount of water back out of the carpets.

    I didn’t use the pre-treatment tool, but it loses a star for the handheld tool. It took 3 or 4 attempts before it dispensed the solution with it, and the solution has pooled in the port area when I disconnected everything to store. I’m not sure if the problem was the hose hadn’t locked in properly (I think it had – I could see the solution in the tube, it just wasn’t fully pulling through) or that the top tank had become slightly out place. I’d checked the valve per the troubleshooting guide and all was fine. Eventually it worked after pulling everything out and reconnecting it a few times. I’m not sure what the fix was. So it loses a star in anticipation of my next fight with it when I come to wash the stairs! The Platinum machine wins here as it’s only the 1 connection vs 2 on this one.

    Another niggle is that the clean water tank isn’t shaped to allow all of the solution to fully drain, so you get a fair bit still stuck in the tank.

    All things considered this is a great machine, and will quickly make its money back against the cost of renting one out. It uses less solution than the Auto-Mix one too, so an even bigger saving! Definitely recommended for pet homes.

    Great value for money

    Arrived today, amazing cleaning action and wow! Very impressed with how it’s cleaned my light colours carpets. Pet function is great and takes loads of hair and dirt off the carpets, despite weekly hoovering and steam cleaning. Good for the price and solutions reasonable. Easy to lift up and down stairs despite not being classed ‘light weight’. Would recommend.

    Great hoover however you do need two battery’s as once fully charged it does drop to 2 very quick.

    Great shame as the hoover is amazing

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersCheaper than I expected to pay, in hindsight, I should have gone for the more expensive model which I have previously used. Thought I was getting a bargain, but too late realising that the “Deep clean” mode is not on this model. With dogs accidents, a deep clean mode is essential.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersHaving two aging cats we have been regularly having to clean up mess. We were using the carpet cleaner bottles with built in scrub heads which worked but we felt we needed more. I nearly bought the portable version but storage isn’t an issue so opted for the full size version. Our lounge carpet that was looking shabby now looks brand new with no patches as the double brush bar makes sure everything is agitated evenly. I sprayed once with the spot cleaner left for 10 mins then applied the standard formula everywhere in one direction. Then went over the floor straight, across then at 45 and it’s like a new carpet.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersEasy to assemble and start using out of the box. Our carpets don’t seem that dirty but the the dirty water tank was full of dark water by the time we had finished one room. The handheld tool is good for stairs and upholstery.

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersBought this as my 12 year olds carpet was an absolute disgrace – done what I needed it to do.

    Let’s face it; that carpet was never going to come up looking brand new or without a mark! We are planning to add hard flooring to avoid this scenario again but if it can tackle this carpet and go from the before to the after, I am looking forward to trying on the rest of the carpets throughout the house, which aren’t even a fraction as bad as this!!!

    Don’t judge my carpet - only one in the house like this!

    Golden Review Award: 18 From Our UsersThis is a fantastic wet vac machine. We purchased it to clean our sofa, it’s only 6 months old and sadly has some dark dye marks from a new pair of black jeans – eek! I’m glad I came across this new double brush VAX as it easily removed the stains and rejuvenated the carpets to “as new”.

    Putting it together is easy enough, although there were 3 screws to do, which I wasn’t expecting, none the less, it’s an easy machine to put together – well designed.

    Suction Power: The product performs very well here, we applied the included carpet cleaner (which dilutes 40ml : 1L of water), we were impressed by the level of suction, it left the carpets & sofa slightly damp, but by the morning they were bone dry. The handheld attachment attaches to the main base, so each time you want to use that part, you just attach it, then stick it in the included bag afterwards.

    Build quality: The product is very ‘plasticy’, not the most heavy duty machine in terms of build quality, but that seems to he the way most things are these days. As a result of this, it’s slightly lighter than anticipated – although very, very loud!

    Value: The product is very good value for money, it arrived quickly and has a great name behind it, you know what you’re getting with VAX; a solid, reliable performer.

    Conclusion:
    This is a solid performer, it will remove stains and mess with ease and leave it relatively dry. The carpet solution it comes with does a great job and the double brush bar is a great bonus too. I would recommend this product.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI got this today and tried it out, to behonest its not too bad, I definitely got what I paid for. It did the job but took quite a while to get out stains. The solution that came with it was very good. It definitely took away the dog smell that was embedded in my carpet. Definitely need bigger water and waste compartment thought as they empty and fill quite quickly, had to empty and refill quite a few times due to the compartments being on the small side. But overall it is a pretty good machine for the price. Don’t regret this purchase but would have bought a bigger more expensive one if I could have afforded it.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersWhilst the cleaner is light and good for normal household use the instructions are useless when wanting to clean after use. How you clean the front cover is a guess and watered a lot of time trying to go through the help systems in-line and by phone to the support team, if there is anyone who you can be put through to. We live in a world of automation that does not help and add total frustration. God I hate computers and those who design them to make it as difficult as possible for humans!

    Golden Review Award: 32 From Our UsersI’m a long time user of carpet cleaners, they used to be very expensive but now I love that they are more affordable. If you have small kids or pets you will need a carpet cleaner and expect to be having it out a few times a week! The clean carpets just re pick up dirt but at least your getting down to the grime! And trust me carpets are full of nasty things no matter how clean they look. I think everyone should own a carpet cleaning machine. I love vax products. My last many, many machines have been that brand.

    My last machine gave way it was super bulky and old. Very much used to the death!

    I wouldn’t recommend this one to a new user – unless you stick to a strict set of ways things fit – need cleaning often. Those super dual brushes are what collects all that nasty dog/cat hair but if for some reason the machine isn’t properly maintained those may seize up. I would advise insurance.

    Once you fitted it together, my last one just fitted together with clips. Make sure you put the clean top tank in first. As I found putting in the waste tank in first could cause a jamming of the clean tank. Where it clicks in but not at the bottom. It picks up great, dispose of the waste water carefully wash hands.

    Now the part that matters per hair and sand will collect quickly even if you hoovered. So after unplugging find somewhere to clean underneath! So constantly be checking and cleaning. It will save you being upset when it gives out. Trust me, nothing like 4 chihuahua’s (one just pee’s anywhere – she’s really old and has three legs which made dog diapers useless!) then there’s someone coming over or a inspection! You need your machine to be ready at any time. The attachments are sturdy.

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersI’ve had a vaxs carpet cleaner before and it was powerful but heavy and difficult to clean out. So I was looking to get one that was lighter and easy to clean out and this seemed to fit my brief.

    So far it’s been easy to assemble, instructions basic but fine, and as I’ve had a vaxs before I found it easy to use.

    Fill the top tank with hot water and carpet cleaner and off you go.

    My niggle is the tanks are slightly awkward to replace but on the plus easy to clean. I think with more practice I might just get to grips with putting them back in place.

    The suction could be a bit more powerful to help dry the carpets and at first I thought it wasn’t spraying the carpet evenly but it must have been because it was all wet.

    However, overall for a first use I’ve managed to clean a large rug and was pleased with the amount of dirt that came out.

    It’s a light coloured rug and I have two dogs who like to rub themselves on it after the groomers to get that clean off them

    It’s compact and carries smaller tanks on top of each other which makes it easy to push and easy to store it.

    I’ve not yet worked out how to clean the brush bars but I’ve not investigated thoroughly yet either.

    I paid a reasonable amount for it and so far happy with the results.

    A carpet cleaner is a must if you want that clean feel on your feet.

    The kids said it smelled clean / chemically. I’ll take that ( I can’t smell)

    Thanks vaxs, thanks Amazon for the swift and trouble free delivery.

    Light weight and inexpensive.

    Golden Review Award: 45 From Our UsersThis product is worth every penny I paid (120), it arrived packaged well with a handy carry bag for the accompanying accessories. I have a small dog and whilst this carpet cleaner does market it towards homes with pets, it definitely would be suited anywhere with the intention of it being used to freshen your carpets when ever you’d like.

    I had looked at past reviews for this specific product and did some searching and spotted unboxing and product reviews on YouTube, many had said there were problems with sound(being too loud), suction, smaller containers for clear and waste water and shorting of electricity breaker. –

    – Yes it is loud but it’s just slightly higher than my Henry hoover, this wasn’t something I was put off by at all.

    – It cleaned my bedroom carpets well and suction provided enough removal of water content to allow natural air drying. (Warm air from central heating and a de humidifier works well here – or just keep a window cracked open a few inches to allow the moisture to cycle out)

    – The volume for the waste water container is less than I’d have liked but the regular emptying means that I can see when the water is becoming clearer to the extent that the carpets are as clean they can be.

    – I found cleaning to be easier than others had made out in reviews, wash the inside of the containers with warm soapy water and let them air dry. Unplug the cleaner and rinse the plastic cover and rollers with a shower hose to remove any residual dirt build up. Not a task I found to be at all difficult.

    – If you consider buying this for grubby carpets, the added bonus of the hose attachment means you can get into the tougher stains and stubborn material, this was definitely a handy addition.

    After cleaning a 2nd floor landing and bedroom carpet I must say I am VERY pleased. The carpet in the bedroom had not been cleaned in 10 years, despite having a rather clean home I always wanted to replace them but dealing with the expense was daunting – luckily – this carpet cleaner saved the day and some money, for now anyway.

    If you’re looking for a budget friendly carpet cleaner and you like to see a positive result when cleaning the carpet I’d advise this product. There are definitely improvements that could be made to this model but for now I’m very happy. Long may it continue to function!
