Fantastic machine November 16, 2008
Pattie (Nottingham)
Vax V-124 Dual V Upright Carpet Washer br /Just bought this machine while it is about half price!What a bargain! I know November is not the ideal time to clean carpets but I couldnt wait. The machine is fabulous my carpets came up so clean when I saw what had come out ---well!!With 2 dogs you can imagine. It is easy to operate - I would just advise to go easy on the "trigger" or the carpet gets too wet. Also quite heavy very noisy the carpets do remain damp but guess better to use on a nice warm sunny day! I am however delighted with the machine recommend it - cheaper than professional prices!

Fantastic after my experiences with Bissell May 18, 2008

Having owned a Bissell powerwash pro heat for three years and had nothing but trouble with the customer service and spare parts people I finally cracked and bought the Vax V124. Fantastic is all I can say, it is easy to use, dries the carpets better than the bissell, my lounge carpet was a good test subject as it was covered in muddy dog prints, the V124 cleans far better than my bissell ever did and uses far less cleaning fluid than the bissell making it far less costly to use especially if you have dogs and kids and are often forced to clean the carpets. I am delighted with it and recommend it most highly. Another point to remember... With bissell you can only buy spares from them via their 0870 number, with vax you can simply buy from your local vax dealership. When I contacted vax by phone prior to purchace to test out the customer service departments level of service I found them fast and helpful and well informed about the product. Highly recommended.
Well designed May 15, 2008

We bought the V-124 after deciding that the excellent Rug Doctor hire option was too much trouble. The Vax dual-V technology which dries as you go seemed to be a great idea so we went with that even though you can buy carpet cleaners for far less. It's been used once and the carpet came up really well. The machine took out loads of dirt. Using it is hard work and we were very wary in case we broke anything. It's predominantly plastic. A great deal of thought has gone into the design. We haven't used the extension attachment but it also looks promising. Cleaning the machine afterwards was quite straightforward. You only get a small amount of the Ultra cleaner so stock up on more fluid unless it's a very small carpet. Hopefully, other makes will do. We've loads of Rug Doctor shampoo. Unused cleaning fluid is kept in a separate tank on the Vax and can be left in situ after you've finished. The Vax takes the shampoo and feeds it into a warm water section of the tank. Filling the clean water tank and emptying the dirty water from a separate tank was easy to do. The clincher when thinking about what to buy is the six year guarantee.
It does what it says. May 12, 2008

This is the first carpet washer we've used and we are very happy with the overall results. We can certainly echo the other two reviews here. We've cleaned our ground floor carpets (2 rooms and hall) so far - mainly cream coloured with nearly 4 years of high traffic use. You may of course have to tackle the odd stubborn spot separately. The amount of dirt and pet hairs extracted is truly impressive. The brushes do a good job of getting the shampoo in and bringing the pile back up. We had good results with the stair/upholestry attachment too. Filling up and dispensing is all straightforward and the machine comes apart easily for cleaning. The vacuuming is effective and the carpets were completely dry the next day. We broke a handle (our fault) and help line were helpful(!) and sent us a free replacement which arrived in 6 days over the bank holiday. The 6 year guarantee is a definite bonus. Recommended. br / br /Top tips: br / br /1. Read instruction thoroughly before you start. br /2. Pick a nice day so you can open the windows, get a breeze going and put out any rugs you may clean. br /3. Buy some carpet shampoo. The one supplied is just a sample (about 1/3 size) and you get through it quickly. The Ultra shampoo is very effective on high traffic areas but is not cheap. We used nearly two bottles on the ground floor but there are cheaper alternatives. br /4. Get someone to help you move furniture around and to take turns washing and filling as it is quite labour intensive. br /5. Buy some ear defenders. I don't believe its any more noisy than other cleaners but it is more comfortable if you are going to spend a few hours at it. Our local DIY store had some fairly cheaply. br /6. Keep the dirty washer container, brushes and filters clean between washes. br /7. Don't tell your friends and family. They'll want to borrow it! br /
