Advantages: It cleans well, good suction Disadvantages: doesn't sit on the stairs! It has bags
plate on the bottom. This clips off for shampooing, but remember to replace it later! I nearly scratched a floor when I did that! There is also a grey lever on the head, which is for stopping and starting the water flow. You clean as though you are vacuuming and the dirty water (filthy in my case!) will go up the hose into the dirty tank. That?s it- job done. I always empty my ?slurry? in the garden as it can be very gritty and would scratch the sink. Then stand back and admire your nice clean carpet!
Let me tell you a bit about the company and the specifications of the machine:
1977- the Vax company was formed
The Vax was the first of it?s kind, being capable of vacuuming, cleaning up floods and spillages (ooh, I didn?t mention that. We used that facility when the washing machine flooded the kitchen. Absolutely brilliant ...

hello there i brought my vax 6131 last year, i just use it to clean my carpets, i will use it as my hover when the other one breaks down. It cost me £149.99.
The vax cleans spills, sucks up water etc, washes carpaets, and hovers, so all in all a good all rounder.
I find the machine very noisey when cleaning and sucking up spills, although overall it performs quite well, and has very got suction

It comes with removable cleanable filters, separate removable inner piece for hovering and one for washing. Also two diffrent hose/ nozzle attachments, one for wet, one for dry hovering and all the other extra nozzles you get with a normal hover ( dust bags must be fitted when hovering ).
Also i ...

Advantages: Simple to use, inexpensive, great results Disadvantages: Bulky, heavy machine, difficult to store neatly
I bought my Vax 6131 back in October 2007 after my old upright vacuum cleaner finally gave up the ghost. I was searching for a new replacement upright vacuum cleaner but after stumbling across the Vax 6131 on special offer I decided a wet and dry vacuum that also shampoos carpets would be really handy, especially with a dog and cat in the house!
The Vax 6131 is a cylinder or canister vacuum cleaner that as well as being used as an ordinary dry vacuum cleaner, can also suck up wet spills and shampoo your carpet.
***DRY VACUUMING***
I use my Vax 6131 mainly as an everyday, ordinary vacuum cleaner and I've found it does the job well. It comes supplied with a standard hose and vacuum head. The head has a simple switch for 'brushes down' for hard floor vacuuming and 'brushes up' for carpets.
It is powered by a 1300w motor which ...
