Advantages: Simple to use, effective, good value for money

Disadvantages: Awkward to store and maneouvre

I have recently used this carpet cleaner as we have a house full of cream carpets and with a toddler and a new puppy they were all starting to look very tired even though the carpets were only laid in the last year.

I went for the Vax based on other recommendations and also ashamedly on the name as both myself and family members have had Vax items in the past and have never been let down.

Once again this was a brilliant item from Vax. The cleaner is so easy to use and unlike other cleaners it also dries the carpets afterwards which means you don't have to wait hours before you can tread on it and also means it won't stretch your carpet.

The machine was easy to put together but once together it is quite large and you do need a decent amount of storage space in order to store it.

It is obvious from the way the machine is labelled where the water and solution goes and it has clearly marked maximum levels. This means that you don't need to revert back to the instructions every time you use it.

It has a handy hand tool attachment which again is simple to use and means you can give the more stubborn stains a good scrub.

Each time I use the cleaner I can see when emptying that amount of dirt it is removing from sometimes what seems a fairly clean carpet.

The downsides to this cleaner would be the storage space required and it is quite awkward to move from upstairs to dowstairs due to its size so I wouldn't recommend to any one who is infirm or weak.

All in all though a really good cleaner which has impressed me.

Summary: A really good carpet cleaner which I would recommend.
