Glad it was helpful!

looks like an excellent cleaner! I've actually had excellent results at my mom's house using the kirby carpet cleaner. it does leave the carpet more wet, so it takes a bit extra work but the results were phenomenal.

Thank you for this useful demonstration. I telephoned VAX about the detergent and they confirmed it should be put into the top tank neat and the machine will self mix. Just used the machine for the first time and was really impressed with both the cleaning and drying ability. Thanks again.

Bought one after seeing your vid. Just cleaned my son's flat with it - a couple of lads sharing, little vacuuming ever done in the last two years so pretty grim cream carpets. This vax did amazing job on the dirtiest carpets with one slow pass with shampoo followed by a second rinse pass. Very impressed!

Great demo, thanks. I too was wondering about the cleaning solution but you have answered that for me. Many thanks.

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. We have just picked up a second one of these with no instructions. Your video was perfect to help understand assembly and operation. Thanks again.

Well thanks for the very informative video. A real help. Had the Vax Dual Power in the box for nearly 3 years but with lockdown it was on the to do list. Its now on the done list and am very very pleased with the results. Looks like a new carpet. (It is actually 10 years old.) I was very surprised by the amount of carpet fluff it generated but no visual harm done. Also found that it sucked up better on the forward stroke as opposed to the backward stroke.

Thanks for the video and demo on this vacuum cleaner. I am expecting my new one today.and am confident about how to.use it appropriately.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Just had a go with mine - agree it's good. Waiting for carpet to dry now. Should have watched your video first!

My Vax Rapide Ultra 2 pet is good. It is quiet and I have washed my carpets many times in these last few weeks and the water is always black but not as black as it was when I first used it

You must have the cleanest carpet of all

This vacuum is the Hoover power path pro advanced. I just bought one and did a few upgrades that helped with suction. One was the gasket on the dirty water tank. And the nozzle for cleaning furniture.

Really helpful. There is dirty stain on my son's carpet which I have been trying to get rid of for years using various products. Barely noticeable using the additional tool. The rest of the carpets are spotless.

Really helpful video. Thank you ☺️

Excellent and informative video which helped to educate me on the correct way to clean my carpet and what I needed to do so.

Top class, Got 1 today. Now what. Never cleaned a carpet. Watched this and I am buzzing. This guy demonstrates this Vax so good, he must work for the company lol, no offence. I was so impresses with the camera angles. This guy deserves a medal for his time. And he explains in easy straight forward detail, just how you would want to hear it.Thx buddy, you really made my day.

Great vid as always, please help me understand the difference between the pro and the standard version of this machine

This looks exactly like my Hoover power path max. Same brush system same tanks.

I like this machine as it has powerful two cleaning brush spindles. Because, the cleaning solutions was very expensive I had to make my own home solution which costs me few pennies and I found the home made cleaning solution did better job than VAX+ solution. Here is the formula of my carpet cleaning solution. 1. Half cupful of liquid detergent. (do not use washing up liquid, but you could powder detergent but liquid is better). Detergent does not foam but washing up liquid does and can mess your machine. 2. One spoonful of branded fabric softener or lemon juice ( this is for fresh smell)3. One spoonful of Vanish Liquid Stain remover (optional, use this if your carpet is excessively stained) 4. 1/2 piece of dishwasher tablet crushed (optional) Mix altogether with two or three cups of water. and there you have it, inexpensive carpet cleaning solution. Please note most of the cleaning is done by the machine brushes. The cleaning solution only acts as catalyst.

Does it work on tiles too? With the same brushes?

Is this easy to take apart and store? Unscrew the handle. I have 2 small children and my rug is is mucky. And I would only use it a few times a year.

I bought one of those. Here in the States they are made by "Hoover." I like it, except it is designed to not pick up too much water on the carpet, because the power brush is lower than the suction port on the front.

Ahh you have to tilt the head of the attachment back towards you. I couldn’t understand why the attachment with the round brush was flooding the furniture and the stained water was spitting back out. Can you show how you attached it please? Perhaps mine wasn’t attached properly. 🤷🏽‍♀️ With the attachment with the rotating head its in contact with the carpet all the time?

Great review. I've recently bought a Vax Dual Power Pro Advance carpet cleaner. It appears to clean properly and the carpet is left fairly dry but I really don't get much dirty water in the dirty water tank. If I use 2 full tanks of clean water then I might get a couple of inches of dirty water in the waste tank. Do you think this is normal? The suction seems OK, the carpets appear clean and fairly dry - but where is all the water going? I wonder whether you have any experience with your machine, albeit it is a slightly different model I think?

I have this vax and I am looking through the comments to see what others think of the suction. I think mine gets more water in the tank than yours is which is probably because I push with my foot on the front to get closer contact with the carpet, it is a difficult and awkward process, and even while doing that I am here because I think the suction is poor, and just checking I don't have a fault one or have broken mine.

If I use this cleaner again, I will take note of how many clean tanks I can use before refilling the solution.

Can someone please tell me how you clean inside of this machine, as the plastic panel gets filled with gunge and the brushes get all clogged up, no where can I find out whether there is a simple way to do this without having to unscrew the bottom unit then remove the wheel holding the belt unit and belt and before removing both the brushes so that you can remove any hair and debris that has fastened around them so that you that you can lift the plastic panel at the front and clean it

There is no easy way of cleaning this machine, you have to undo several screws to remove the brushes. Make sure you vacuum thoroughly before using it which will cut down on the amount of hair and debris that collect on the brushes and nozzle.

Hi. The solution bottle says that you use You use 40ml of solution for each fill. As there is no measurement guide on the cap or the machine, I used a measuring jug to check first.. and it's (based on filling the 250ml bottle cap) One And A Half Capfuls.

You do not need to measure anything on this machine or any Vax with the Automix feature. You pour neat solution into the small solution tank and the cleaner mixes it with the water as you clean. That’s how they can offer the rinse feature as when you turn the dial to rinse, it stops the solution from mixing with the water. The Vax solution bottle I have states 40ml of solution per litre of water when using in models without automix or another brand of carpet washer.

@@ibaisaic Firstly, I just wanted to say that I really liked you tutorial, as It was the best one on youtube that I've found.... And Yes, I see your point, but when VAX suggests pouring the unused solution back into the bottle when finished (if of course you don't use it all up), it's a pain. VAX says not to leave it left in the container when not in use. So I really think that sticking to just 40ml at a time, saves time and hassle, if you are not going to use that amount. It also cleaned my whole lounge carpet really well, with just with that small 40ml amount. So I will respectfully agree to disagree... lol.

I note that in your video you used a full 250 bottle in one go of the solution rather than the 2 capfuls recommended. Have just purchased one of these machines & very impressed....however I can say I honestly spent more time cleaning out the debris of carpet 'fluff' from the machine than I did actually cleaning. I do have 3 small dogs but vaccum daily, I am hoping next time there will be less of this.

+Sue Toomer This cleaner mixes the neat solution automatically, so you put as much as you want in the separate solution tank depending on how much carpet you have to clean. I'm not really sure why you think that only two capfuls are needed unless you are looking at the dilution rate on the bottle. This only applies to machines that don't have the auto mix function. You will always get fluff in the machine after use even if you vacuum the carpet thoroughly before washing.

+Mistysmudge1 The Vax Rapide doesn't have the automix system that the Dual Power Pro has. The model I demonstrate in this video has a seperate tank inside the clean water tank that holds neat solution which mixes with the water as you use the machine. If you watch the video you will see that on top of the clean water tank there are two orange screw caps one covers a small container that holds the solution and the over is for the larger portion of the container that holds the water. Having a seperate solution tank means that the cleaner can be used in rinse mode which only uses the water without mixing in the solution. The wash/rinse dial is located at the front of the clean water tank. If you want to only put two capfuls of solution into the solution tank you can, but you will be refilling it many times during the cleaning process.

If you have only squeezed the solution trigger on the forward pass and released it when pulling the machine back, you should not have used too much water. After cleaning a section of carpet, it is important to go over it several times using suction only to remove as much of the dirty water as possible. Go slowly on each pass and move onto another section when you can no longer see any water coming up the clear nozzle.

Is this suitable for thick pile rugs?
