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.

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 bought this at exactly the right time because it has now gone up in price.Does a fantastic job of cleaning the carpets.One critical issue is the weight of the product it is so heavy.Overall does a good job.Regards,Chris.

The cleaner arrived on time and is a great carpet cleaner.Make sure you order additional cleaning fluid as it uses quite a lot when using it in heavy cleaning mode.
