Advantages: powerful and you feel you've done a good job! Disadvantages: bulky, lots of bits, having to change parts over
...water and soap solution like Vax 3-in-1 cleaner - about £1.50 for a washing up liquid sized bottle. You replace the motor unit on top of this, attach a thin pipe that carries the hot water to the head and attach the vacuum tube to the machine at the bottom. Water goes down tube, into carpet, gets sucked out of carpet and back into the machine. Easy peasy!
Attachments

You get loads - some for wet and some for dry. The wet stuff ... ...head. For the dry there is a mixture of large heads and small and thin heads. A really good range I thought! The best is a turbo head - its only small and has an integral brush that is spun by the suction. Its to get hairs up from the dirty animals we have to live with for the sake of our childrens happiness and it really works!
Performance.

I love this thing! When used on the wet the results give you a realy smug feeling of ...

Advantages: Great as wet & dry vacuum Disadvantages: No 100% good at picking up dog hair i found
...I did do a wet vax you should of seen the filth that came out - unbelievable! It says that most carpets need two or three washes to really clean. This Summer I hope to clean more carpets.
But I have a worn old bedroom carpet that seems to attract dog hair 100%. But I am now finding - a year later - that although the suction still there the brushes are not so good at picking up the hair. I find that I have to drag the Vax head along to pick up hair ...

Advantages: easy to use, reasonably priced Disadvantages: not the quietest of vacums
When we discovered our youngest son had an allergy to dog hair we wanted a solution rather than having to give the dog away. We decided to try a carpet cleaner and as our old hoover was on its last legs opted for a 2 in 1 which would hoover and clean. Comet recommended this one as it was specifically designed for people with pets as some of the tools it comes with (ie the brushes) are for picking up the hair and the special shampoo is designed for ... ...allergy.(you can use the special shampoo in other cleaners and also other shampoos in this one) When we got it home it was easy to assemble and easy to change from hoover to cleaner. To change you simply take the hoover bag out put in an inner container filled with water and shampoo, fit a thin tube to the hose with clips and change the head part, which in all takes about 5 minutes (once you get the hang of it!).You are then ready to clean by pressing ...

Advantages: good for quick fresh up of carpets Disadvantages: not as good as my old vax :-(
...this recently after my old vax died on me. Found this just as easy to use but the main attachment has wheels on it, meaning hardly any pressure can be put on it resulting in the carpets remaining quite wet. Easier for perhaps people who would normally have dificulty in cleaning their carpets.
A good day is required for the carpets to dry after using.
Overall, for the price i am fairly pleased and if it is just a quick freshen up of carpets, its ...

Advantages: Wet and Dry Cleaner all in one, superb cleaning power Disadvantages: Can be a bit of a pain swapping from dry to wet cleaner as have to take the hoover bag out when shampooing
Got this Vax as a xmas present from the other half and i have to say that it was well worth the money (paid seventy pounds from graded electricals on ebay).
It is an absolute godsend if you have pets, the special pet cleaning agent that you buy gets rid of all pet odours and the best thing is that the puppy we have was proving very difficult to housetrain, since i got the vax he always goes outside for the toilet as he cannot find any scent in the ...
