Bought this in the Black Friday sale for £137 with the pet attachment Works perfectly, does exactly what it says it does!
Highlights: ➔ Well thought out ways of cleaning the attachments and the hose after use ➔ Pet attachment is a must have, works far better than all of the other attachments as it agitates the carpet/surface as it’s lifting ➔ Pretty easy to use, and stores away very well into a small overall area. Cable wraps up and hose to be quite tidy. ➔ Great value for money compared to buying a full size carpet cleaner
Some things to consider: ➔ It is wired so you are slightly constrained ➔ it absolutely drinks the solution, definitely buy a 5l bottle when you purchase ➔ Sometimes the trigger for deploying the liquid stays on ➔ There isn’t a place to store all of the attachments together, you can only have one attached and one clipped onto the hoover

Been wanting a handheld carpet cleaner for a while now to clean the cars interiors. Finally settled on this one especially as I seen it was on offer. Used for the first time today and its absolute quality. Cars interior came up like new. It’s easily portable, it looks great. No real need for any assembly. Not as noisy as some people suggest and the seats and carpets were dry within an hour or 2. Ignore the negative reviews, sometime I think people Don’t use a product correctly and then put it down to the item being no good. I saturated the seats and carpets and if you go at a nice sloe steady pace you can see the dirty water being sragged out the carpets. Give it a 2nd pass over and they are slightly damp after being soaking wet it’s that powerful. You just need to get the angle correct to ensure the nozzle is in the correct position to suck adequately. I liked the little brush attachment so you can soak the area your working on, give it a good scrub with the attached brush and then proceed to remove the dirt. It really is simple to use. Yes the hose could have been a little longer but that may affect performance I suppose. Its plenty long enough if you put it on drivers seat to do passenger seat footwells and seat (and vice versa). The self cleaning is easy, just put an inch of water in tank once finished and hold the hose in the back of machine and turn on. Was surprised to see how much it cleaned the hose. I’d recommend this to anyone. I’m very impressed by it and wish I brought one sooner. Well worth the money.

Great product had an upright Vax before. Very durable, mine lasted over 8 years years and very effective in removing stains and dirt
The tank is too small so I had to exchange for a larger tank. Amazon did not have this on offer so I had to go to vax. Buying under offer makes this product very good value It is compact and stores well and looks nice. the extra tools are great.

I have a new puppy and cleaning up muddy paw prints, bone drool, accidents and other things has been a breeze. I should have bought one of these YEARS ago! Its hard on your wrists after a while so its really just for spots and not large areas. This has a UK plug end, so you will need an adapter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Easy to use. Cleans ok. Brushes provided are good. Not too loud. Good for small areas otherwise you’d be forever refilling the tank. It could do with a slightly longer pipe as it’s awkward to stand it on the floor and reach the back of the sofa. A bit too heavy to hold whilst doing it too.

This machine is amazing. It arrived on sat and I’ve just done my stair carpet. As an owner of dogs my stair carpet was looking dirty, washing by hand wasn’t getting it clean properly. I decided to get a spot cleaner pet max by vax It’s amazing. I’ve three German shepherd’s and they are up and down all the time my carpet looks great when finished. I would recommend this to everyone the extra suction is fantastic. It cost’s a bit more but it’s worth it .

We have had this for a few weeks now and have used it quite successfully on a few items.
First things first, this is very much a cleaner for smaller sized areas and is not a substitute for one one of the bigger carpet cleaners.
I’ve used it on the rubber backed rug/mat that sits just inside our porch, best described as a slightly larger door mat. It performed very well and by the time i’d given it a couple of going over with the machine, I had full colour restored. We are a family of 3 adults and 2 dogs, this mat is the first line in defense when entering the house and takes the brunt of the bad weather that you bring in on your shoes. I did have to do the mat twice, but that’s more likely down to me being conservative with the amount of solution I sprayed out rather than anything to do with the machine.
The next area I tackled was a living room rug which is various shades of grays and light blues, and is almost white in places. This is where the dogs like to scratch their back and is dead centre of the room, so it takes a bit of a pounding traffic wise. It’s a much larger rug and had more pile than the porch mat. Again, it took a couple of full tanks to get the rug looking almost like new again but I was impressed and somewhat embarrassed at how much dirt lay within the rug. We do hoover most days but the pile in the rug certainly hides a lot of dust and dirt
The machine worked so well on the small spot test I did I had no option than to do the whole rug as it left a very obvious clean spot!
*Warning – this section contains reference to a poorly dog*
The next test was a beige bedroom carpet, on a morning after a poorly dog had vomited on the carpet during the night. This is exactly what the machine is designed for I feel. The accident happened around 3am so it was a case of mop up the liquidy mess with some towels as best we could, use some hot water and loads of Febreze on it and settle for the machine clean in the morning. The problem with that type of clean-up is all you’re really doing is diluting what was deposited on the carpet. Without the means to remove it, then you’re effectively only applying a sticking plaster, so to speak
The dog required the vets first thing, it had (best guess) eaten a snail or slug in the garden and this was the cause of the sickness. So, later than I expected I tackled the obvious staining from the night before. The machine cleaned it up no problem, the yellow green mess that was still showing in the carpet was gone entirely after a cleaning session with the Vax. I gave it two goes just for the sake of it but one would have been sufficient.
So, the pro’s and cons PRO The machine is not too heavy Hoses flex easily meaning you’re able to get into small tight spots with ease The suction is strong and you can see the contaminated liquid getting lifted straight away It feels ‘right’ in your hand, the trigger sits at just the right spot
CONS The size of both the output and intake containers are very small (for a big spill you will go through a couple of runs on the output solution, I also had a basin beside me so I could empty the waste water rather than keep going back and forward to the sink) Bigger containers would obviously add to the weight, but it would save you getting up and down as often when you’re cleaning a spill.
The cost of the cleaning solution I feel is expensive. As an engineer, I do not believe one type of cleaner will have any detrimental effect on the machine over another, so for me I bought a 5L drum of carpet cleaner for a fraction of the cost of the Vax solution and it works perfectly, and smells better than the Vax liquid.
For occasional use I’m very happy with the product. I have in the main wooden floors with a few rugs spread around. If I had a home entirely carpeted and was looking for a Vax, then I’d be aiming for a more substantial machine than this, if for nothing else than to save having to refill and empty the machine as often.
But for what it’s designed to do I’m more than pleased with the results and it also tackles spills with ease Oh…I meant to add, the dog is fine and we’ve had no repeats
