This is exactly what i was looking for in terms of reviews.Nothing fancy, just a normal person with an honest and clear description and examples.I have a tight budget and wasn't sure if this one would do the trick,but after watching your video,now i will definetly have a Vax. On offer atm on Argos, £120. Thank you for the video :)

At last, an unpatronising, non happy clappy review that didn’t start and end with ‘ don’t forget to subscribe’ whine. Very helpful, honest video, convinced me to get one. Thank you, very much appreciated.

Incredible video mate, this should be a benchmark for home reviews. Thanks for taking the time!

Thankyou so much for the video! I just bought this exact model today and I love how informative your video is very helpful x

Thank you for posting this video! Leaving a rented home and need to clean the carpets after getting a puppy 🙃

To help this along I would suggest you give your carpet a really good clean with your vacuum cleaner before you start and pre-treat heavily stained areas before you use this and I have doubled up on the solution and found this makes a massive difference as well as using hand-hot water, take your time as rushing doesn't help. I have an oatmeal coloured carpet and two dogs and I'm impressed with the result.

Thanks for an excellent video. Bought this model some months ago and only just got round to using it. As VAX had put the instruction manual for a totally different product in the box by mistake, your video was a godsend. Thanks again 👍👍

Mines coming tomorrow, great review, can't wait to clean my carpets .

Loved the review - just what a viewer needs. Unfortunately, I now realise that, for some reason, mine is not working properly. However, it could be me as I have lost the instructions - hence why I visited you today. Thanks again x

Excellent and informative video. Thank you.

I bought one and had only used it once so needed a refresher. I agree that your vid really helped. I need to show how to clean it to my daughter who returned it to me in a bit of a state! She has long hair and she has a cat with a tail like Basil Brush!

Great video mate. Exactly what I needed

Very good instructed video. Learnt how to use it very quickly

Thanks for such a thorough instructional video. I've just bought one of these and tomorrow will be giving it a try.

fantastic vid mate i do wanna point out that spot cleaner attachment is actually pre treatment wand and you use that with vax pre treatment solution before actual washing to get out the really dirty parts of carpet

Thanks for a great review mate 👍

I have just purchased one of these and thought I would watch this before using it.

I got the same model last year from argos I got it for a hundred and 20£ best carpet cleaner I've ever used 🌺🦄🧚‍♀️🧜‍♀️🌈

Good review, I think though you have to move over the carpet slowly.

Thank you!!

i have a rubber round that seems to have fallen out of the top tank at the bottom around the outlet to the next tank. It means the water in the top tank is pouring straight out of the back of the machine. How can I fit it back in?

Got one of these from argos aswell today. there £99 now, thats crazy how they used to be £249.

Can you post a video on how to clean this model please there isn’t one out there on KZread to follow

Thank you for this video! I've borrowed my sister's vax and I've not a scooby doo how to use it 🥴

Are you meant to hold the trigger constantly when using in upright mode?

Woaahh wants to buy VAX as well xx

I'm finding with mine that i can use a whole tank of water but it's only actually sucking up about a quarter (or less) back up. Is that normal? I can't help but to feel like its leaving the carpet wet and making me tempted to ditch it and go for a rug doctor.

I have this but unsure how to get it to dry and suck up the dirt when using the machine on my hallway, any tips?

Is it easy to pull apart and put away even if it means unscrewing the handle

Thanks for the review. Can I suggest that when moving forward you go slower.

Hi. Could you help me we have this unit no matter what we do we can not get the water to come out of the bottom of the machine it will let us use the wand and stair attachment thats all and help would be great full thanks

Hi Rob and Mel have used the machine and 4 loads of clean water but hardly any dirty water coming out. Its a nightmare to clean the brushes if the fluff gets under the brushes, was hoping your excellent video would show an easier way to take the brushes out to clean as I fear it is blocked hence why the dirty water not going into the container. Any ideas, is there a repair centre to take it to? It's only 4 months old so under guarantee?

Hiya. Its difficult to clean the brushes out I agree.....I tried once to unscrew some screws on the bottom plate in hope of being able to release the brush bar....but wasn't able to do it. So usually I just try to flush out any dirt with clean water (on the outside patio )... but it only works to a degree. That's seems a bit low.....(4 loads of clean water ) but hardly any dirty water. Usually I find the dirty water tank fills fairly quickly. Possibly a problem with the extraction and suction maybe. I think for repairs there should be a number for vax in the manual....possibly on the back page. 🤔

Fast dry after water clean?thanks

There's a black rubber seal that I think goes on the bottom of the tank I think does anyone no if that's right if not where does it go

I've just purchased this I used it once then lost the instructions but just a quick question for you of you don't mind ? When cleaning the carpet do you have to press the lever on the tip handle to disperse the liquid ? ? ?

Only thing I can think of is making sure it's secure and fitted correctly to the base ( push and twist ) - and possibly there could be air in the hose.

If I remember right the hose connects to the base unit by a twist & turn on the larger hose and also the smaller clear ( water feed hose ).....it did take me a while to get used to it also ....mainly I had problems with the smaller clear hose as I wasn't connecting it correctly so the supply of water/solution was restricted. I think you've just got to play around with it to make sure the connections are good. Best of luck.

However the method of cleaning was very poor and doesn't work. Ive also found that it clogs the little mesh behind the waste container every few mins. A real pain when using it as when that mesh gets blocked, the thing then dumps the dirty contents back on to my cream carpet and stains. Completely the opposite of what the thing is intended for.

A helpful review but this machine is dreadful. Barely picks up any water no matter how many times I drag it back nor how slow I drag it back. The brushes leave dirt tramlines so it's a constant wash and re-wash! The pressure button for spraying the water down is terribly stiff. Putting the 2 compartments in place takes skill. Need to keep one leg behind the machine as you put them on or else the machine topples backwards and it takes several attempts to get it to click in. And as for cleaning the machine itself, well that's another story. I'm going back to Bissell.

Very poor quality it's been leaking everywhere to bee honest read a lot of reviews and many people have same issue also small starts hoover does it not work properly every so often stops and whole machiner start working so when you want to use small for stairs you have to play with it and hope that start working I wouldn't buy it again to be honest I'm looking something smaller now for stairs and car as this is nightmare to get it working as it is on and off
