Platinum SmartWash Carpet Cleaner Machine, Rug, Upholstery, Car, Stair Upright Shampooer Washer, Handheld Spot Cleaning, SpinScrub and Wash Tools, Solution, 1200W, 8.5kg, CDCW-SWXS

Brilliant machine - so pleased I paid extra for this Vax Platinum Smartwash Pet carpet cleaner having bought cheaper ones in the past and been disappointed. This machine is light enough to use and manoeuvre easily whilst still feeling a quality weight. Tanks are all easy to fill and clean, it is very simple to use once you’ve read the short instruction book and thanks to the motion sensing dispense and vacuum, you get exactly the right amount of liquid onto the carpet preventing over-soaking. The benefit of this is that carpeted floors dry really quickly (10-30mins) particularly if you go over the floor quickly with the dry-only function at the end of a clean. Time will tell how reliable this machine is but at less than £200 it is excellent value for money.

This cleaner works perfectly and is easy to use. It did an amazing job of all the carpets in my house, you can also see how well it works when you empty it. No assembly required, just put on the 3 easy to use tanks, slot in the handle and that's it! You probably don't need the pet version of it, as it's just a battery operated squirter in the handle, that you dethatch to use. Just spray pet stain-remover directly from the bottle. I'm really pleased, and for this price, it's excellent value. You only have to use it 3-4 times and you've saved the cost of hiring one. No faults, no issues. It even has a feature that only sprays water when the device is moving forward at the right speed. The dry-only switch allows you to fully remove a lot of water after cleaning.

Very good performance. Much better than we thought it would be! Brought our carpets back to as good as new. The washing mode very thorough and the drying mode is exceptional. Carpets dry with 1 hour and very soft to touch. Pet attachments Very useful. Very good quality. Worth every penny. We used the vax solutions that left a lovely fragrance. The pre wash solution is remarkable , it lifted what we thought was a permanent stain. Very impressed with our new vax washer and definitely recommend 100 percent.

Made a massive difference to carpet and upholstery (I used a Dirtbusters Pet Pro carpet shampoo in it). Reasonably easy to use once you've navigated the instructions, although not everything is 100% obvious. Instructions on the supplied shampoo from the same manufacturer say it should be used neat in an "auto-mix" machine. This is apparently a machine with separate water and shampoo reservoirs. This machine is, therefore, an auto-mix machine, although nothing anywhere on the machine documentation or instructions uses this terminology at all, so it's assumed you're going to know what they're talking about. I felt the instruction diagrams for fitting the rollers brushes, etc. could also have been clearer and bigger. Both carpet and upholstery cleaning were very good, lifting a lot of dirt and smelling much better afterwards. Everything was left a little damp, as you'd probably expect, but by using the "dry only" mode on the machine you can go over areas several times to reduce this, and everything dried out overnight for me. The slight pain I found (at least on first use) was that the cleaning action lifted a lot of fluff from the carpet, and I had to clean out both the brush rollers and the vacuum nozzle on the front really frequently, and it's a bit fiddly to clean and clilp back in each time. The big wide vacuum nozzle (which sucks the water back up through a narrow slit) can also sometimes be sucked closed by the vacuum, and I needed to gently pull apart the gap on the nozzle to get it to start working from time to time. Hose attachment with the rotating brush worked well on sofa cushions. Again, they were left a bit damp, but I was able to leave these outside to dry in the sunshine afer cleaning them. Overally, happy with this machine. Performance is very good, and would have given it 5 stars if there had been a bit more care with the clarity of the instructions from such a major manufacturer, and if it was a bit less fiddly when continually have to keep cleaning the machine out every 10 minutes or so during use.

Excellent piece of kit ...easy to set up ,easy to use and does a really good job ...very impressed
