had one it broke down after 3 goes repaired under warranty but broke again after warranty ran out parts were to expensive to buy for it so gave up, now we hire a rug doctor from b&q,it's better too

thankyou ivor we were thinking of hiring rug doctor then i saw the vax advertised and thought it would be more economical to buy that but from your comments i think rug doctors looking good x

I would never buy a vax, load of rubbish in my experience, I would hire or buy a rug Doctor.

We've had a Vax for about 4 problem-free years now and it does a good job.
The advantage of owning, rather than hiring, is that you can do it when it suits you eg, the weather is good today, let's do the carpet.

I have one its okay cleans carpets well but can struggle on heavy treaded parts. However you can buy solution for this problem (double concentrated) on Amazon.co.uk cheapest price.

Had mine for a few months now and think it's fab. Read warnings of plastic bits breaking off so I treat it with respect and don't knock it about. Cleans beautifully and dries the carpet very well but do make sure you use the VAX carpet cleaner, at least while it's under Warranty as you could negate said warranty if you don't.
