Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Vax V-027 Rapide XL is a deep cleaning, versatile upright carpet washing system designed for convenience around the home. The wash head has contra-rotating brush bars for ultimate deep down dirt extraction. Its powerful dual extraction, which allows carpets to dry quickly, is ideal for large carpeted areas. Featuring on-board hose with wash tool attachment, and large capacity auto mix cleaning system, the V-027 Rapide XL is easily adapted for stair, car and upholstery cleaning too.

Washing with Vax AAA Carpet Cleaning Solution, which is specifically formulated for Vax to gently lift deep down dirt and stains, will leave a fresh fragrance, without any sticky residue. The Vax V-027 can also suck up spills and is easy to manoeuvre, set up and use.

Why wash my carpets?
Although regular vacuuming of your carpets removes everyday dirt, it does not completely remove the deep-down dirt and grease that makes carpets look flat and lifeless. Washing your carpets will.

The benefits of regular carpet washing:

  • Prolongs carpet life
  • Brightens colour and pattern
  • Refreshes carpet fibres by extracting odours and stains
  • Removes pollen and dust - the main triggers of asthma and hayfever.

    • Box Contents

  • 1 x Rapide XL carpet washer
  • 1 x Upholstery wash tool
  • 1 x 2.5m Flexible hose
  • 1 x 250ml Bottle AAA Carpet Cleaning Solution

    5.0 out of 5 stars once you start you can't stop, 20 Dec 2006
    By Mr. G. Curtis (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews

    This review is from: Vax V-027 Rapide XL Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
    once you finish cleaning the first room of your house you will want to carry on through the rest of your house. the results are clear to see - lots of dirty water and a 'like new appearance' to your carpet.
    Our carpets are a cream/oatmeal colour and are about 2.5 years old now. they were starting to look quite stained and almost nearly in need to be replaced. i thought it would be best to get a carpet cleaner 1st to see if it helped, rather than going out to get new carpets. i was right. the unit is fairly quiet when operating but it's results make a real statement! seriously, until you use one yourself, you will not believe the improvement in the appearance your carpets will have after using the vax cleaner.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, 30 Sep 2006
    This review is from: Vax V-027 Rapide XL Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
    Got the RAPIDE XL PRO version
    Works very well, not too noisy as some of these products can be.
    The rotating brushes make a real difference. Restored my
    beige hall carpet to almost new after some pretty awful looking
    stains. IF YOU'VE GOT KIDS AND OR PETS YOU NEED ONE OF THESE.
    Lost the dirty water tank plug, one call to the VAX customer service line
    (and it wasn't an overseas call centre) and I had a new one in a few days free of charge, great service from VAX.

    5.0 out of 5 stars VAX V027 Rapide XL Carpet Washer, 8 May 2007
    By R. Miles (Suffolk, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Vax V-027 Rapide XL Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
    Having paid more than the purchase price of this machine several times over the last few years to have the carpets in a couple of rooms of my house professionally cleaned I decided to buy one of these and see how it compared.

    We have a large amount of good quality (dense, 80% wool) carpet throughout our house in a light sand colour. With two young children this gets grubby and spot-marked despite regular vacuuming with a Dyson DC14. I have used the best reputed local carpet cleaner a couple of times now because I was concerned about the potential for damaging what were very expensive carpets.

    I have to admit that I had fairly low expectations of this machine, but I was pleasantly suprised at what a good job it did. The carpets certainly came up as clean as they did after professional cleaning by someone who I would regard as being expert at carpet cleaning with some good quality equipment. It was necessary to use some spot cleaner in a few places, but this was always something that the professional cleaner did too. There are a couple of places where the pile had become very trodden down (in a hallway) that needed going over a few times from various angles and some extra help with a stiff brush to stand the pile back up again so that the cleaning solution can get right into it. It does take a little longer to clean with this machine than to pro, but given that I own it now and am not paying for someone else's time this is not a problem.

    I did three rooms with the machine in one evening, including washing, rinsing thoroughly and then vacuuming out as much water as possible. Afterwards the carpets weren't any wetter than they were after professional cleaning. This was something I was worried about as I've heard some horror stories with hired carpet cleaning machines soaking carpets. I have also cleaned the seats in one of my cars with the upholstery attachment and again it did a great job removing an alarming amount of dirt from what looked like reasonably clean seats. Made the car smell a lot fresher too!

    The machine has essentially paid for itself already in one evening, but I will be carrying on round the rest of the house 'for free' with this now and using it regularly on the carpets that have most foot traffic as well as cleaning my sofas.

    If there is one observation I would make, and I wouldn't call it a criticism, it is that the machine is bigger and heavier than your average vacuum cleaner.

    Overall I think this cleaner did an excellent job, comparable with professional cleaning if used properly, and is excellent value for money at the price I paid from Amazon.
