Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Vax Rapide Deluxe V-026 is a great lightweight, versatile, and powerful upright carpet washing system designed for convenience around the home. The wash head has a rotating brush bar for quick, deep down dirt extraction so carpets are left feeling groomed and revitalised. 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 V-026 Rapide Deluxe has the added feature of an upholstery wash tool, ideal for the car, upholstery, stairs and high traffic areas. It 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

    • Product Description

    • 600W.
    • 3.5 litre clean solution tank.
    • On board upholstery wash tool and hose.
    • 2 litre dirty water tank.
    • Rotating brushbar.
    • Handle lays flat for easy cleaning under and around furniture.
    • Lightweight.
    • Includes 750ml Vax AAA Carpet Cleaner.
    • Finish: Blue.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works for me, 28 Feb 2007
    This review is from: VAX V 026 Rapide Classic Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
    I've used the old vax shampooer for 20yrs and it packed up recently. Very pleased with its replacement. Very easy to use, cleaned my mum in laws house apart from bedrooms in an afternoon. No pressure required, unlike the old one, so easy for any one to use. Just vary the speed of travel to suit the level of soiling until the shampoo being sucked up is clean. Easy and stable to use on stairs, the pumped shampoo flow means it will work up or down hill.
    The small tank cuts down on weight but I was satisfied with the amount of cleaning done per refill/empty.
    The noise level is quite high (a whistling noise), about the same as my garden leaf blower. I wore ear defenders as I do with any power tools.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 100% improvement on the older Orange models, 16 April 2007
    By Sarah Keeling (Leics, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: VAX V 026 Rapide Classic Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
    I had the original orange Vax which I always loathed using. Way too many tubes and wires and always managed to spill water all over the place when filling or emptying it.

    As a dog owner, I really do need some way of cleaning carpets on a regular basis and thankfully the old orange version gave up the ghost last month! This upright version seemed to be the answer to all my prayers - and it very nearly is.

    After a little head scratching to build everything (it really wasn't that bad but I seemed to end up with some spare tubing! turned out this is for the upholstery hose . . .) I was ready to go. It's an absolute breeze to fill and empty this Vax which is a good job as my only gripe with it is that I had to refil it 7 times to finish my lounge carpet! OK, so I do have a larger than average lounge, but it is not exactly huge.

    However, it is so easy to fill and empty that it wasn't really a problem and even this small gripe is outweighed by the ease of use of the machine. It even fits nice and neatly under the stairs, rather than having to live in the garage with all of the extra appendages that were required for the old version.

    All in all, I'd recommend this product for anyone who wants to be able to quickly and easily give their carpets a spruce up. My carpets came up brighter than I'd ever seen them (we inherited the carpet when we bought the house!) and it did a great job of a rug that has never been cleaned before.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Twice the wash half the time, 1 Mar 2006
    By Mr. P. A. Whittaker (MANCHESTER United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: VAX V 026 Rapide Classic Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen & Home)
    We have just obtained the new washer having previously used the original 3 in 1 Vax what a difference, a lot easier to use and the pump means no more having to hold the vax up until the water starts running. The brushes make the removal of stains easier and the whole job of cleaning the carpets is less effort with a better result the pile can be seen again.
    The use of the tools is much easier to only having the one pipe and once again the pump goes into its own when doing the stairs.
    The only niggle was that the waste tank does not hold the full washing tank volume which means the waste tank needed to be emptied once it got 1/3rd full as the suction cut off devise operated.
    It is an excellent machine and well worth the money especially buying it from amazon, only draw back now is my wife wants to buy the Vax vacuum cleaner.
