VaxRapid Power Revive Carpet Cleaner | Deep Clean and Leaves Carpets Dry in less than 1hr | XL Tank Capacity - CWGRV011, Graphite, 2.5 Litre, 240W

I purchased this carpet and upholstery cleaner after thorough research and reading numerous reviews, and I’m very pleased with my decision. It cleans carpets effectively and did a great job on my sofa too. That said, I found the spot-cleaning head better suited to surfaces like stairs rather than the curved surfaces of furniture. Despite this, it still managed to refresh my sofa, which now looks and smells much cleaner. You could potentially use it to clean car upholstery - and I certainly plan to try - but I am going to look to purchase a narrower head if I can.The cleaner is somewhat heavy but remains easy to manoeuvre around the house. The long hose made cleaning our staircase straightforward, and the electric cord is a good length, allowing me to move around a room without needing an extension cable.The kit includes a small bottle of detergent, but I recommend purchasing a larger bottle if you plan to do extensive cleaning. Our carpets took a full 24 hours to dry completely. I plan to re-clean during the warmer summer months when drying will be quicker. I was quite shocked by the colour of the water extracted - it really showed how much unseen dirt was trapped in the carpets!Overall, this cleaner is a solid choice for deep cleaning carpets and upholstery. Just be prepared for the drying time, which can vary depending on carpet thickness, humidity, and ventilation, and consider the weight when moving the machine around. Its cleaning power and ease of use make it a worthwhile investment for maintaining a fresh home environment.Finally, it is fairly noisy so I recommend wearing earphones to help reduce the noise especially if you're planning to use it for an extended period of time.

After setting it up checked out everything had the motor run for a minute or so sound ok. Filled up the salution with the small bottle of carpet cleaning salution. The performance of the Rapid Vax is brilliant in my opinion. I have used other makes of carpet cleaners in the past. But I have always had my late mother wee orange Vax it died on us when it was time for Autumn Cleaning. We looked around town seen many very expensive. We decided to checkout Amazon seen many great reviews for other carpet cleaning machines, but to be honest I did fancy this Vax Rapid Power Carpet cleaner. It is easy to put together, easy to handle maybe a bit heavy for some people to carry up stairs, easy to push and pull back. I used it on the landing carpet. It does do a deep clean, my advice is to use it slowly pushing forward with your finger on the salution button on the handle then pull back slowly as it does work and lift the dirt out of the carpet. I left it for 30 minutes then did a full rinse the water was filthy and did several rinses to make sure the soft was of the carpet. Left over woke up. The carpet is back to what it was like when we had it out down many years ago.Very easy to assemble no issues.Easy to use the salution that come with your Vax cannot go wrong as it is clearly marked out were your water goes, and salution goes.The size is ok for me, it upright good to build strength in your arms and does not hurt my back.Vax always make great carpet cleaners for years with good affordable price for thos on low income. Made of strong plastic easy clean and it is simple to empty and refill no issues from me. I did notice you get two year warranty when you register with Vax and your Rapid Power Vax I took a further two years out when I bought the Rapid Power Vax Carpet Cleaner when I ordered it.NoteEveryone has their own opinion on what they buy here on Amazon. I bought this Vax Rapid Power Carpet Cleaner good value for the money, the salution was a small bottle that came with the machine. I would say both myself and family have all agreed it is a great machine and we all would recommend the Vax Rapid Power Carpet Cleaner has got thumbs up from the family 5 Stars.

Bought this to replace an older VAX machine that was leaking from a crack under the water tank, it was unfixable, and I was unable to source a replacement part. So this arrived: it is an all moulded plastic item, clever design, and once assembled, loaded up with water and solution, off I went. It is quite heavy, and requires concentration and patience, but the results are very good. The rotating brushes do a good job. I deep cleaned three large dirty rugs with one filling of 4 ltrs warm water to 160mls solution. The large amount of dirt in the water was testament to the efficiency.Cleaning the machine afterwards was tricky, you need to be careful when taking it apart. So far so good, time will tell how long the plastic bits last, but there is a two year guarantee so fingers crossed!

Used on a variety of projects,since purchaseCarpets, upholstery, mattresses, providing you follow the instructions & use the correct kind of cleaning detergents, you will reap the results.With any power tool, it's always the cleaning after use, I have had Vax products in the past where no matter how much you did to clean it always left residue., NOT so with this model, it's a breeze to change dirty water, & clean down, noise level is acceptable for this kind of power tool, suction is great, water removal is excellent, manoeuvring is easy.A good all round bit of kit, I managed to purchase this on offer, but would have happily stumped up the extra based on results.MY ONLY NEGATIVE.The main handle to push and manoeuvre it around is IMO, cheap feeling, when it's assembled on arrival it doesn't have a robust enough feel for the fixings provided, that said there hasn't been any issues to date, but I believe this is a fault that will develop with use & over time.

Excellent carpet cleaner. Previously purchased the Vax pet carpet cleaner which felt cheap and leaked everywhere and started tripping my electric after 5 minutes, sent back! Bought this one as a replacement and was only £30 more. Really bug difference! Feels much more sturdy and better built. Very effective, cleaned marks and stains out of carpet and really easy to use. Heavy though!
