Vax Rapid Power 2 Reach Carpet Cleaner | Leaves carpets dry in under 1 hr | XL Reach & Capacity | Extra Tools - CDCW-RPXLR, Grey/Blue

Before this, I had a Bissel Crosswave, which I was never happy with, so it was a bit of a gamble for me to ditch it and buy a cheaper VAX. Turned out to be a wise decision, though. The VAX arrives in a surprisingly compact but very heavy box. It has a separate cleaning fluid tank, which means that you can easily pour what you don't use back in the bottle. The Rapid Power has a number of hand-tools and a long pipe that connects to the main machine. There are four tools. They're great for doing soft furniture or stains. There are two big, heavy heads and two small light ones. One of the heads has a power brush in it. I am not sure what they are all for, so I took some photos and you can decide for yourself. The round brush on one of the tools rotates when the cleaner is switched on. The pipe and tools come in a storage bag, but once again you need to think about where you are going to keep them and whether you really need them. I didn't think I needed them, but turned out I used them right away! Very simple to clip together and and use. Overall the construction is good. The tools seem very well made. The motor is very powerful and while not being quiet, is smooth sounding and tolerable. Very easy to use. I was very impressed with the rate at which it put down and picked up water. It seemed to be very effective at picking up the water. I suppose, on a cold day, you might need to put the heating on for a while, though. On a medium warm day, with all the windows open, I found short pile dried within the hour and long pile took up to two. Upholstery took an hour. At the moment they are less than half a dozen hires of a professional machine. The only reason I can think of that you might not want one of these is that you haven't got anywhere to store it. Very impressed. Highly recommended.

This product was very easy to set up, used within minutes of delivery. Really impressed with how easy it was to clean with! Note, the box you receive it in is large in size as well once the machine is assembled it’s bulky to store away. I had the cheaper pet vax model before and went through 3 replacements and returns as it kept tripping my electrics and machine smoking within minutes of turning on (must have been a faulty batch), so was skeptical about getting another and more expensive vax carpet cleaner, but so far so good! This model definitely has better features than the cheaper pet model, I like that you can choose between quick dry and deep clean on this model. Quick dry feels more of a light clean and it really does dry my rugs in under an hour. Whereas the deep clean definitely gets into my rugs more and leave them wet for longer to dry. I have some very large rugs which I can’t fit in the washing machine, so this carpet cleaner was great at deep cleaning them! I will say be careful where you turn the carpet cleaner off, as some water debris can drip down through the suction enterance, so can be left with a line of dirty water, which I noticed on a cream rug id just cleaned, so would then have to go over that area again. I like the handheld attachments for furnishings, as a few sizes have scrubbers on the end, to scrub in the spray solution. I didn’t feel the suction was as good as the main machine, but maybe I’m using it wrong, or not putting enough solution down before suction. Overall a happy investment if you’re like me and have pets so would use this quite regularly!

I have used other models from the brand and other brands. It does a really good job, leave the carpet relatively dry. Easy to use and tanks have good size so that you don't have to fill it every 2 minutes. Detergent consumption is high, and cleaning could be easier.

This is the best carpet cleaner I've used it shampooed the old carpet it looks like it new

This is probably the best product I have bought from Amazon in a long time. This carpet cleaner is quite bulky but works brilliantly. It takes no time to assemble it, which is really straight forward. I have just bought a new house which had beige carpets for the last few years. Rather than spend a fortune re-carpeting the whole house, decided to try a carpet cleaner. Chose this one from the internet and Amazon reviews and has not disappointed. The pic attached is from the second clean and really is taking the dirt off the floor. Will be on the third clean in the livingroom as there is still more to get off the floor. However, the carpet is not looking closer to one colour than blotches of darker shades. The accessories are excellent and really worked well on the stairs. I would have a good airflow when cleaning the carpets as the smell can be industrial but it is worth it.

purchased this a few days ago, delivery was quick, everything arrived intact, without any damage. When I began to assembly the cleaner I felt a little disappointed, it seemed like nothing fits to its location as it should. Both of the water tanks slide in, but they feel a little loose as they don’t click into their place firmly. It was very hard to attach the hose at the beginning and every single time a small bit of the upper insulation ring was cut out by its socket on the machine. Then I switched on the cleaner and basically nothing happened, no suction power, no cleaning solution coming out. As it turned out I need to position the dirty water tank very precisely, otherwise there will be a tiny gap between the tank and the machine and air gets in from the side instead of going through the tank. I think it should click on its place firmly, providing a proper connection without any extra hassle. At the end, hose issue is gone after connecting and disconnecting it a few times, now it fits easily. With properly positioned dirty tank water suction power is great, cleaning solution is sprayed in a nice wide pattern. I cleaned a small carpet, 2 office chairs and a couch, the result is convincing. It was also very easy to clean the machine when I finished. At the end of the day I’m happy with the purchase, the machine did a great job! I found this model the best value with the extra long hose and additional attachments, these are all useful features. I would give 4.5 stars.

I use this vacuum cleaner every day and it's made my life so much better. Firstly, it suctions so well, even the tiny dust particles that aren't visible to the naked eye. Secondly, its HEPA filter ensures that the air isn't filled with the dust particles it just picked up. I wash the filter every month and everything goes back to functioning as normal thereafter. Lastly, I feel that it was priced well for a vacuum cleaner of its caliber. It's easy to use and is quite good quality.
