Oli18 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hey guys, My new VAX arrived yesterday and i couldn't help but test it last night on my two front carpets of my A8....i was sooo impressed. 1st impressions are that it is very good at removing the dirt and the carpet shampoo called 'AAA' worked well. The downside i thought was the massive head at the end of the vax but i think i'll buy this adapter to do the rest of the car... None the less pleased with the results! Any further advice welcome though! :thumb: The carpets before cleaning: Having finished 1 carpet: Half of the 2nd carpet: The dirt from the vax from only 1 of the two carpets: The two clean carpets side by side: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyk31 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 So how much did the VAx cost you? Looks like an excellent machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli18 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi Dave, I got mine off ebay for £65 quid which was pretty cheap. Robert Dyas are doing a deal atm for £79.99 if you're interested which is also pretty good considering that the RRP is 149.99! -Oli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyk31 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Can this also be used as an ordinary hoover for the house. My wife was talking recently about the Dyson being knackered and this might do a good job of being a replacement that would also be useful for cleaning the car and mats in it etc. I assume you can hoover just dry as well as using the wet cleaning function?

maersk Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Had one for years, they are excellent. They do both, and the pet hair remover is super................. long haired cat you see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 They look great! I want one of those, i normally use just carpet shampoo, brushes and MF's. Only if i get one, might i get forced in to hoovering the house more? GULP! It looks quite fun seeing the dirty water and the clean carpets side by side!

davyk31 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you use it for hoovering the lounge say with the water cleaning, how damp does it leave the carpet. You know when you get someone in to clean carpets you have to leave everything to dry out for a while, is it the same with this item? And can it just be used as a standard dry hoover too?

wyliss Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I purchased a wickes wet n dry machine 2 years ago and it s quite good. When I looked on the Karcher site their's is exactly the same, I wonder if they make them for other companies..... Would people say the Vax is the best or George ?

Sponge Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm considering one of these for my home. As Vax's go, is this one of the best vfm wise? Amazon are also doing it for £79.99 (free P&P) too, so I'm tempted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
