Product Description
Product Description
Washing your carpets has never been easier, with the versatile Vax W90-RU-P Rapide Ultra 2 carpet and upholstery cleaner. Vax Rapide carpet cleaners are designed to be quick to use, easy to manoeuvre and as simple to operate as a regular dry vacuum cleaner. The Ultra 2 is the ultimate Rapide, combining ease of use with the very latest deep cleaning, quick drying technologies. It's tough on stains too, as it includes a pre-treatment kit that gets to work on stubborn spots and high traffic areas before you wash.
The Rapide Ultra 2 has powerful Dual V suction technology that leaves your carpets touch dry in no time, so you can get on with your day. Powered jets pump solution deep into carpet fibres and rotating brushes lift out the dirt and stains that you can see, plus the embedded dirt, allergens and odours that you can't.
Why wash your carpets?
Dirt and dust gets trapped deep down in your carpet's pile, beyond the reach of your dry vacuum cleaner. Even if you vacuum daily, your carpet will start to show signs of wear as this trapped dirt gets trodden in, damaging and flattening the fibres.
While your dry vacuum cleaner is powerless to remove this embedded dirt, regular washing helps to lift it away, leaving carpets clean and fresh so they stay looking at their best. Washing brightens the colour, removes odours and refreshes the pile so your carpets look and feel like new again.
So if your carpet is looking dull, worn or stained, rather than buying a new one or calling in professional cleaners, give it a new lease of life with the Rapide Ultra 2 instead. As it helps to remove pollen and dust mites, it's also a great choice if you or your family suffer from hayfever, asthma and other allergies.
Easy to use and versatile
The Rapide Ultra 2 is also handy for sucking up the accidental spills that inevitably happen around your home, before they become a problem. This makes it ideal for busy family homes with kids and pets, where muddy shoes, paw prints and spilt drinks can quickly take their toll on your carpets. The wash tool is perfect for refreshing stairs, upholstery and car interiors. It can even be used for those small accidental spills.
Use the wash tool for stairs, upholstery and car interiors
Use the wand to apply pre-treatment solution to break down dirt before you wash
Tough on stubborn stains
If your carpet has stubborn spots and stains, use the Rapide Ultra 2's pre-treatment kit to break down dirt before you wash. Simply use the wand to apply the pre-treatment solution to the affected areas, leave for around 15 minutes and wash as normal.
Powerful Dual V suction means carpets dry quickly
Deep cleaning, quick drying
Gone are the days when deep cleaning your carpets was a job you had to put aside a whole day for. The Rapide Ultra 2's patented Dual V twin air path technology leaves your carpets touch dry and ready to use again in just a couple of hours. The two V-shaped channels in the floorhead deliver consistent, powerful suction right across its width, so your carpets are both cleaner and drier.
First dry vacuum your carpets thoroughly, then fill the Rapide Ultra 2's solution tank with water and the supplied Ultra+ cleaning solution--Vax's toughest solution yet. Vax Ultra+ is specially formulated to leave no sticky residue, so your carpets stay cleaner for longer. All Vax carpet cleaning solutions are Woolsafe approved, so they are safe to use on all types of carpet, including pure wool.
Press the trigger to apply the cleaning solution as you push the machine forward. Simply release the trigger as you pull backwards and the powerful suction removes the dirty water and lifts the carpet pile. Pour away the dirty water, then stand back and admire your fresh, clean carpets. They'll be touch dry and ready to walk on again in just an hour or two.
Apply solution as you push forward and suck up the liquid as you pull back
Revitalises your carpets
PowerJet technology pumps jets of cleaning solution deep into the pile to dislodge trapped dirt and odours. The brushbar rotates rapidly, loosening embedded dirt and giving you a really thorough clean. This rotating action also grooms your carpet's fibres and the suction lifts the pile, so it feels soft and springy to the touch and looks like new.
Peace of mind
The Rapide Ultra 2 has a 2-year Vax guarantee for your peace of mind. Vax's UK based helpline is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable Customer Care Advisors who are available to help 7 days a week.

When I received the Vax Rapide Ultra 2 I was amazed at the size of the box, upon opening it became clear that the machine was quite a big machine, taking up most of the box! However once out although it was quite heavy it did look powerful. The instruction leaflet was short, with pictures rather than written instructions. A few more words would have been helpful! I had to look at the pictures showing elements of the machine in use to work out where everything went as the "set-up" pictures only showed how to attach the handle and the Wand.
The machine is then ready to go! Measure the cleaning solution and add the required amount of water. It would have helped to have a small "measure" included, my jugs did not have the required scale, eg you need 40ml of solution and my jugs measure in 50ml intervals. Additionally because of shape of tank for the solution it will not stand on its own, so fill it over a sink!
Cleaning the carpets was incredibly easy! Push forward; activating the solution switch, I released the switch just before I came to the end of the push forward stroke, and pull back to suck up. This method of cleaning is very easy, size of machine makes it hard to get into small/tight spaces, but for this I used the hose and hand held nozzle. This works on the same principle after you have attached the hose (very easy to do once you have found the relevant picture), Squeeze trigger on forward movement - a word of warning: the liquid is sprayed in a sideways pattern from just behind the head of the nozzle, for using on the stairs I angled the nozzle at about 45º to get the most effective coverage on each step - pull the nozzle back and you can see the water being sucked up, in fact I went back over areas where I had used a lot of solution on the main carpets and sucked extra liquid up using the hand held nozzle.
The carpets were lovely and clean, and the pile rejuvenated, even my husband noticed! Also they were almost dry straight away. Two hours after cleaning I had everything back in place.
The pre-treatment wand seemed to me to bit over the top, but I haven't got any really dirty bits, if I get stains on my carpets I clean them as they happen, and the main machine coped brilliantly with the main traffic areas without the need for pre-treatment. If you inherit a very dirty carpet of one with large areas of staining then this attachment would come into its own.
Removing the dirty water chamber is very simple, a bit fiddly to get it totally rinsed clean. Removing and replacing the tank for the cleaning solution is again very simple to do, rinsing clean is very easy.
Cable length is good, but winding cable onto machine is time consuming because there is a lot to get into a small space. The hose could have been two steps longer! It would then have reached all the way to the top of my staircase, but then I guess it would have been harder to store.

Amazon Verified Purchase
On the whole - very pleased with product. Does what it says on the tin. We have two dogs, pale carpets and live in Wales!!! Very effective machine. Delighted to see the dirt being sucked up and making a real difference to the carpet.
My main issues are with the small details which could easily be rectified. Are you listening VAX????
The "pre-treatment" system is a nonsense. You could do just as well with a trigger handled bottle with the pre-treatment stuff in..... it's called Vanish.
The unit doesn't come with any sort of measuring jug for the soap and there is no indication on the main tank what volume it holds - making it difficult to calculate how much cleaning liquid to put in to get the correct dilution. Volume markers could easily be printed up the side.
The manual is pretty pitiful. The type and drawings are small and not very clear. It would be easy to create a corporate demonstration video for You Tube to go with the manual.
There is no diagram to show the correct way to stow the hosing and the cable on the machine - although this has clearly been thought through as there are suitably shaped slots and brackets to hold the various dangly bits. In this post-Dyson world, expectations for ease of stowage of these bits is now HIGH!!
I would strongly recommend the machine. Excellent product but Vax's design department needs to give itself a kick up the proverbial - hence three stars

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
Just over three years ago we bought a plain beige carpet for the living room, and it's got a pretty dirty in the main area where we walk, (looks more like dark grey in some areas). :-(
Besides the family and our dog the carpet gets walked on a lot by my pupils, (I'm a private teacher), and some don't always use the doormat when they walk on, (especially when it's raining), so their shoes have left dirt marks.
Last year we did buy an upright "Vax Rapide carpet washer deluxe", we really hoped that this would do all it said, but it didn't and we still had one very mucky beige carpet, we were thinking of buying a new carpet before Christmas because it just wouldn't come clean whatever we did. :-(
So when I saw the reviews for the "W90-RU-P Rapide Ultra Pre Treatment Upright Carpet and Upholstery Washer" and how well it had done for other people I thought we'd give it a whirl!
It's extremely easy to assemble, (not like the other Vax I mentioned). With having such hard to clean patches we thought we'd leave the pre treatment on another 5 to 10 minutes longer then what it said to give it more chance to work.
Oh boy, this Vax it's a dream to use and the pre treatment lifted all the dirt from the carpet, we are soooooooooooooooooo pleased and relieved. It's given our carpet a new lease of life and we finally have our beige colour back. :-)
With it now being October and the weather being a little damper we were bothered about how fast the carpet would dry out. To our surprise it only felt slightly damp as the Vax sucks up most of the water it's used, this meant our carpet was completely dry within 24hrs. :-)
This Vax does everything it promises, it's well worth every penny and I can highly recommend it. :-)
