    Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
    Length: 4:04 Mins
    I DID NOT CHOOSE THE PICTURE SHOWN. AMAZON DID.

    For the sake of brevity I list my review points only because one can not bullet point on amazon reviews:

    1. Arrives as petite square box not slim upright (see video)
    2. Assembly not quite as per instructions which cover a range of models.
    3. Disassembly difficult if want to pack in its box for storage.
    4. Lays down flat for under bed storage.
    5. 250ml of cleaning fluid supplied is enough for three sessions.
    6. Took two sessions for my 3.6m x 4.0m living room.
    7. 750ml Vax fluid easily available in a local shop
    8. Upholstery hose easy to use (I have no upholstery)
    9. Light weight
    10. Would not shift 12-year-old dirt in doorway without repeated use.
    11. Don't expect miracles; you can't replace wear and tear.
    12. Use of Vax Ultra 1.42L improves things a smidge for the complete carpet clean. Clean NOT restore.
    13. Its ideal use is kids and pets but refreshes on a full carpet clean.
    14. Better than I thought for flattened kitchen carpet tiles.
    15. Happy single man.

    My video tried to highlight before and after but lighting conditions defeated me.

    The way to go 11 Nov 2010
    By Howard
    Easy to assemble and set up. It cleaned up our used and abused beige carpet after several runs and using up the free sample bottle of vax fluid, but no doubt a more expesive cleaner (pre-treatmnet model) would have done it quicker. Got so use to it that I went round the house doing other carpets therefore paying for itself + in 1 day. After getting a quote from a carpet cleaning firm, decided this was definietely the right way to go. It's ours to use whenever (especially in those emergencies when the dog had just chewed a pen on the carpet). Also bought the 5 pack of tripple A fluid which will probably last until 2012. Happly cleaning. H

    By Spider Monkey HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
    Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
    This Vax carpet cleaner is a fairly decent wet cleaner for use on carpets and upholstery around the home. This comes disassembled in a small square box and requires some assembly before use. The instructions aren't the clearest I have ever seen and although this wasn't hugely difficult to put together, it could have been a whole lot easier and more clearly laid out. This comes with cleaning solution (which is also easy to find in most shops) and after thoroughly vacuuming the carpet area we tested this on, we set about cleaning. This managed to raise most obvious dirt first try and for more ground-in stains, such as those left by pets, we found they were removed after a second swipe. This left the carpet a little damp, but not excessively so and it soon dried off. One word of advice is to make sure as much pet hair is lifted up before using this as the fur tends to get tangled around the cleaning bristles and which need to be removed by hand afterwards. The dirty water reservoir is easy to empty and after rinsing it out it is ready for the next use. It also includes a filter which is easy to remove and clean as well. You are able to fold this down flat-ish so it is easy to store and it shouldn't take up too much space under the stairs or slipped under the bed. All in all this is a decent home carpet cleaner and whilst it will never restore heavily worn carpets or match industrial cleaners, it will revitalise most carpets around the house.

    Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

    Waste of time
    The washer requires assembly. It turned out that the electric wire just below the clean water tank does not fit properly and so water tank would not sit properly. Read more
