Advantages: vacuums and washes carpets

Disadvantages: needs assembling before use.

I have had this cleaner for nearly 2 years and paid £99.99.

This 3 in 1 cleaner is a versatile floor cleaner it features a vacuum cleaner, carpet washer and dryer and sucks up large spills.

When used as a vacuum cleaner this features a vacuuming head, a crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery / stair vacuuming brush. It uses a dust bag and a cone filter.

When being used as a carpet cleaner, which is what I have used this for mostly, the cone filter is replaced with a water bucket which holds 4 litres of water, into which the carpet cleaner detergent is added, I have only used VAX AAA detergent. The cleaner has a carpet washing head and a clear tube to be plugged into the pump. The carpet is then washed, once the carpet is washed the pump is turned of and on the head a valve is shut, the cleaner is turned on the dry the carpet, I found that it was the during the drying stage that the carpet was cleaned. On tough stains I also found that scrubbing the stain with the cleaning solution first helps. The valve isn't clear if the water flow is on or off.

The cleaner clears up large spills the same as the drying process when cleaning carpets.

I have found this to be a very good reliable carpet cleaner.
