    Advantages Advantages A very effective carpet cleaner

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Leaks a little water when cleaner is stopped, not the easiest to manouvre

    I bought the Vax carpet cleaner some 4 months ago and have one the whole been impressed & somewhat surprised how much muck it brought out of the carpets. CONSTRUCTION The cleaner is pretty much all plastic. Even though the plastic is very strong, I always (probably just me) feel that it might crack or break. Despite heavy use, it is still in one piece. When you by the vax carpet cleaner, there is a bit of assembly required to get it ready to use. It took around 20-30 minutes to assemble the cleaner. The instructions were pretty straightforward & the cleaner went together okay. More ... more

    Advantages Advantages Was a good price!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes a long time!

    Being in a rented property with cream carpets and a one year old, we thought it best to get a carpet cleaner and fast! With a tight budget, we opted for the V-024A Vax Rapide Classic carpet washer. We bought it from argos and it cost £99.99 (this included one bottle of Vax AAA cleaning solution) The solution is sold in argos too - £13.99 for a pack of three! Once set up (which was a little complcated if you didn't read the instructions) we were ready to go! There are two tanks on this washer - * The Clean Solution Tank - 3.5 litre capacity * The Dirty Water Tank - 2 litre capacity All you have ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very good at job

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bit heavy to move around.

    I bought my Vax carpet cleaner about 3 months ago. It is very easy to set up and start using. It is amazing how much dirt you can get out of your carpets. I did not realize how mucky they get. Then again I have got 4 kids and 2 dogs to contend with. It is a bit heavy to push around, but you soon get used to it. It is made of plastic, but is very sturdy. There are 3 compartments in the cleaner. There is one into which you put warm clean water. Then there is the one which you put the cleaning liquid into. The third collects the dirty water at the end. There is a safety valve on this to stop it ... more

    Advantages Advantages Space Saving, Lightweight, Cleans Well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I bought a vax carpet cleaner about 8 months ago, when my little boy started running around the house with food, and also little accidents when his nappy was not on, due to the fact I live in army quarters I thought I'd better get one instead of paying somebody to come in and clean my carpets everytime we moved. I chose the lightweight vax cleaner due to space, and have be pleasantly surprised with it, it cleans the carpets lovely, it does make a difference if you follow the instructions such as go slowly and only do a small amount at a time. The only part I was disappointed with was the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, easy to clean, compact, good value for money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't have onboard tools

    Five Stars across the board for this product folks. I bought a Vax Rapide Powerjet last month because, having 4 kids you can imagine how much food, chocolate and spilled drinks end up on the carpet. I used to hire a cleaner for the weekend but that was proving quite expensive so I searched around for an upright carpet washer and settled on the Rapide Powerjet. Boy am I glad I did! It doesn't come with onboard tools, which you only really need if you're doing your upholstery on your furniture, and was very easy to assemble (just a few screws to connect the handle to the base. It has a 4 ltr ... more
