I will keep this brief and to the point. The item does not have any rotating brushes (something I should have noted before purchasing it). There is a "static brush bar" on the underside, but that is pretty useless. Because of this, all the device does really is squirt out the water/detergent mix and then suck it back up again. And to be clear, it doesn't even suck up much of the water. This is probably because the suction bit near the front does not press down against the carpet firmly enough to be effective.
I have given it "two stars" because the hand held attachment did manage to get a good amount of grime out, but that required that I scrub the carpet rigorously with the small static brush mounted within the handheld bit. I also then ... Read More: >>More Details |

I purchased the Vax V-026 Rapide Deluxe Carpet Washer in Sept 2007. In June 2008 I used it for the first time to clean liv/din room carpet.The carpet is a very light fawn it had no marks on it and i only cleaned it to freshen it up. The result was very good and I was well pleased The second time it was used to remove a spillage, the filter fell to pieces so I had to buy a new pack, I fitted the new filter and after 20 minuets the motor blew up leaving a black dust deposit on the carpet. It has now been with VAX appointed local service agent for five weeks and still no sign of a new motor from Vax. I sent Vax an e-mail today saying sort it out or send a replacement machine, I'll wait and see what happens.

As stated by the other reviewer, the description and picture (and earlier feedback) indicates this is a genuine filter. It is NOT! I complained and was told the description stated this. I have looked again and it is not clear. I believe this item sails very close to the trades description act and should be changed or removed. Please do NOT buy it in protest.

ON THE PLUS SIDE
1) I agree with the other reviewers that the cleaner cleans car upholstery thoroughly but it is not surprising that the water is filthy as most car seats get that way after a year or so and any reasonable wet cleaner will extract lots of muck. 2) I do like the excellent suction which gets most of the water out of the upholstery so that it air dries fairly quickly. ON THE MINUS SIDE 1)The cleaning solution squirts in a fan shape on to the brush on the cleaning tool but unfortunately the jet is wider than the brush so that at the edge of seats the solution sprays where you don't want it. I found this to be very annoying as my car got pretty wet in the wrong places. 2)As mentioned by others ... Read More: >>More Details |

Borrowed this from a friend after the cat took to weeing on the carpet. It has done a good job on cleaning up the mess, and the smell. It does seem to use very little cleaning fluid, even after I managed to connect it properly. However, no matter what I did, it seemed to constantly leak (mainly from the clean water tank but hard to tell) so if I left the machine sat anywhere for long there were big wet patches. Having used it, I'm very tempted to buy my own cleaner as it's done a surprisingly good job and is cheaper than expected, but I might shop around for one that is less dribbly.

Bought this cleaner in Sept 07. In a few months it had been back to VAX twice. Appears to have serious design flaws: first the belt snaps when cleaner switched on after emptying the dust box for some reason. Belt is so firm that replacing it often causes you to break off the plastic end of the beater bar. (Costs £18 to replace.) Don't be tempted by robust appearance as that makes the machine very heavy. Going to dump this machine as its pants.
