I recently purchased this machine and i am very happy with it, we rent our home and have the normal rental property carpeting, i have not cleaned the carpet since we moved in, this machine is really easy to use, it is light, easy to fill easy to empty, the water in the machine was pretty yucky after i used it so worked well, i did it 3 times and it now looks a lot cleaner.
I have a dog and there was some fur in the front area of the machine i just hosed it out and dried out the machine in the sun,very happy with the machine, my last machine was so heavy and clunky it almost broke my back.

One of the best things I have ever bought! So easy to use. I vacuum my carpet before washing with Vax VX30. Still it manages to take out dirt from underneath.

after 6 uses it wont pick up dirty water and it spreads the wet dirt all over the carpet great waste of money i bought on line so difficult to return i will buy this type of cleaner in store from now on the dirty water tank cannot be cleaned as impossable to get into

I bought this product thinking it was good, read a lot of reviews saying it was good.Found the reviews to be wrong.This product is the biggest waste of money i have ever spent.Our carpets were pretty dirty and this so called cleaner done nothing to remove any of the dirt.I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AT ALL

This carpet washer is not very easy to use but I can't blame its performance considering it only sells for $148. The water container is really small and I had to change 3 to 4 times for a medium sized piece of carpet. In addition, it took at least 2-3 days for the carpet to dry completely, which is longer than time advertised (probably because it was winter time).

PROs: Good suction given its relative small size vacuum, lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, easy to clean filters

CONs: Quite loud, water tanks (both clean and dirty) are way too small and must refill few times just to clean area of 50 sqm, looks flimsy since material is made of plastic

I just purchased this Carpet Cleaner from The Good Guys. I have used the now discontinued big brother of this model before with good results. I think this model is a re-release of an older Model Number as it is still available on the VAX website even though Product Review lists the VX30 as discontinued. This Cleaner is smaller in size with smaller water tank and dirty water tank but still performs well. It's best suited to flat carpets. I have a shaggy rug that it does clean well but as the shag pile is quite deep it does take some extra time to extract the water from the rug. However I'm still happy with this unit. Don't be fooled by its small size.

This product did not work at all well at all. The "spray nozzles" only dribbles the water in lines onto the carpet, they sprayer appears to only be gravity feed and not pump driven so it is useless. The vacuum part appears to be ok though. Unfortunately the capacity of the dirty water storage container means that you have to keep filling and emptying all the time. All in all this product is a real DUD. Don't waste your money on this hunk of plastic as it's not worth the trouble to unpack from the carton.
