VaxRapid Power Refresh Carpet Cleaner | Deep Clean and Leaves Carpets Dry in less than 1hr | XL Tank Capacity - CDCW-RPXR, Purple and Grey, 4.7L, 1200W

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.

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 this cleaner today for the first time. Shoes are never allowed past the doors in our house. The carpets look clean but look at how much dirt the cleaner took up.It's heavy to use and takes some getting used to.We used a YouTube video to guide us through the set up. It was easy to followSome may struggle with the cleaner it's cumbersome and awkward to manoeuvre.Overall it's worth the effort.We are very satisfied with the end results. The carpets now look even cleaner than we thought they were.The machine does leak slightly so be carefulOn stairs the extension is very effectiveA very good purchase.

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.

Wow, this machine is amazing, bought it to replace an older vax which broke. This one is far superior it mixes the solution into the water as you go so no over doing the amount you use. Large tanks means it just keeps going without emptying and the scrubbing heads seemed to get a better cleaning result. Love that you can put it on rinse mode to reduce the sticky feel I used to get with my old one. Cleaning is a dream, as it all comes apart so no longer am I poking away with a long pointy stick to get dog hairs from the nozzle. It is heavier than my old one but not difficult too use. I haven’t used the hose attachment for stairs or sofas yet but it looks strong and comes in a handy storage bag.

Great price and does exactly what it says on the box. The quality of the clean is outstanding with carpets smelling fresh and water collected easily by the device. Despite thinking I had clean carpets, I was certainly surprised by the colour of the water it collected!
