Vax Rapide Ultra 2

Upon opening and unpacking the carpet cleaner the first thing I noticed was its sheer size – it’s much bigger than a previous Vax carpet cleaner that I’ve used in the past. This does make it a little cumbersome and awkward to use in tight spaces but fortunately it comes equipped with a hand held device which is great at getting into tight corners or using on the stairs. It’s a shame that on full stretch the cord can’t reach the top 2 steps on a standard staircase. The carpet cleaner also sucks up spilled liquids with ease (with or without the hand held device) but a detachable turbo rotating ... more

This Vax is brilliant, highly recommended! It was delivered in a very big box, but once unpacked the machine itself is a reasonable size, weight and very sturdy. I expected it to be really heavy to push around but it moved really easily along my different carpets. We have had carpet cleaners before which have left us with bad backs for days, especially my husband who is 6 foot 8, but as this is an upright machine and of a decent size, no back pain was experienced! We have a dog, and hoover daily so wouldn't have expected many dog hairs to be cleaned up, but the rotating brush on this machine ... more

Vax Rapide Ultra W90-RU-B - This is an excellent carpet cleaner that does exactly what it says it should. Assembley is easy to do - although the instruction leaflet provided is for this model and the pre-treated model too and can be a little confusing - but only took 5 minutes to get together. Using the carpet cleaner couldn't be easier. The instructions do say to vaccum thoroughly and this is a must - especially in all the nooks and crannies! I started by using the hand tool to do the edges which was easy to do - the hose attaches to the front of the machine at dirty water tank with a smaller ... more

Wow!! This is a truly amazing cleaner. Having used Bissell previously I have definitely been converted. This is extremely easy to use and does the job really well. I have 2 pre-school age children, as you can imagine this equates to my carpets getting dirty fairly quickly, drinks tend to be spilt fairly frequently. I decided to use it first without the using the pre-treatment wand and found even the worst marks were barely visible. I have now used the pre-treatment on areas which required a bit of extra help in clearing the stains and my carpets now look almost new. I would definitely ... more

This carpet cleaner really does the job! I knew my carpets were dirty, but didn't realise they were that bad... the water from the carpet cleaner was black when it had done it's job! It has a handheld cleaner hose too, which is really useful for getting into corners, on the stairs, as well as uphostery etc. Carpets were left really dry too, no waiting for days for them to dry out. We've got 2 cats and it managed to pull out a lot of fur from the carpets that my vacuum cleaner hadn't managed to pick up. It is a bit time consuming to do more than a room at a time, but it's not a professional ... more
