Advantages: trusted name that always performs well

Disadvantages: as in review

The main reason i bought this vax rapide was because i have a young child and carpets and upholstery in lighter colours,i know they don't mix well but i wouldn't swap either. After months of wiping my sofa and my rugs with spot cleaners to remove mushed in banana , jam , sandwiches etc i decided something needed to be done..And rather than cover everything in plastic i decided to buy this rather nifty cleaner..

It is fantastic thats all i can say i purchased mine thinking it wouldn't be a good investment but i'm happy to admit i was wrong.
It is bagless and can be used wet or dry, has the abiity to hold 4L Clean water in the tank and 3.7L dirty water in the tank
This model is a deep cleaning, versatile upright carpet washing system designed foryou to be able to wash your carpets and sofa's as and when they need at it .
The wash head has contra-rotating brush bars for really deep down dirt removal. Its powerful suction allows carpets to dry quickly, iIt is ideal for large carpeted areas.
It's on-board hose with wash tool attachment, and large capacity auto mix cleaning system makes it easily adapted for stairs, cars and upholstery cleaning .
I think the only downside is that it may be a little heavy for some people to move it about easily..Its not heavy but when filled with water it may be a little bit more awkward,When fully assembled you are no longer able to replace in to its box which means you have to keep it stored ready for use which isn't a problem if you have plenty of storage space, lastly you can not clean edge to edge you have to do by the skirting edges with the onboard tools..
Now for the technical bits..

It comes with a 7.8m Power cable with 10m max reach,a twin rotating brush bar which gives you a deeper clean, also comes with a 2.5m Flexible hose.
If you have light color carpets ,furniture , pets or children then this could be the cleaner for you.

I paid just under £150 which is a better price than having to replace carpets or furniture just because it looks a bit grubby..
Well worth the money in my opinion.
Thanks for reading x
