Summary: Not recommended for an emergency cleaner
Comment: The main reason we bought this machine was to clean up emergency spills (e.g. wine, pets, etc). Unfortunately, the use of this machine has frequently resulted in additional damage to the carpets due to leaks in the suction hose arrangement causing more puddles/stains. It's also very fragile and has very poor suction. I'm extremely disappointed with it's poor design and quality.

Summary: Please don't buy a VAX
Comment: I have not seen a Vax V-026. I did, however, buy the slightly more expensive V-028, and based on the miserable experience with that device, I would recommend staying away from *any* Vax product. There are two general problems. One is the offensively poor design. I don't know where Vax finds its engineers, and doubt that going for a more expensive model would get one a quality product. Another is dishonesty. Vax is selling a device (V-028 again) that by design - weak suction and the useless "static" brush - cannot do the advertised job. Is the plan to have enough customers attracted by a "low" price and wishful thinking, and then too lazy/busy to send this garbage back for a refund?

Comment: I purchased the Vax V-026 Rapide Deluxe Carpet Washer in Sept 2007. In June 2008 I used it for the first time to clean liv/din room carpet.The carpet is a very light fawn it had no marks on it and i only cleaned it to freshen it up. The result was very good and I was well pleased The second time it was used to remove a spillage, the filter fell to pieces so I had to buy a new pack, I fitted the new filter and after 20 minuets the motor blew up leaving a black dust deposit on the carpet. It has now been with VAX appointed local service agent for five weeks and still no sign of a new motor from Vax. I sent Vax an e-mail today saying sort it out or send a replacement machine, I'll wait and see what happens.

Hi
Finally got my vav cleaner fixed after seven weeks,in the end i had to return it too vax who fitted new motor. It appears that Vax are holding onto their motors for their own repairs, thats why the agents can't get them. I found this a bad experience and i hope nothing else goes wrong as it's guarantee has now expired.

Summary: Do not buy for £150
Comment: I have had my Vax Rapide Deluxe for a few months now and after using it a few times a problem developed. The small float inside the water collector became too sensitive and would shut the vacuum suction after a few seconds turning the machine on. It is only supposed to do this when the water collector is about 2/3 rds full. This is quite a bad design fault and I am guessing that the people who have written decent reviews may encounter this problem before too long. I have turned the filter inside out and this has made the float less sensitive. However I would urge anyone not to buy this for more than £100. It's simply not worth it.
