Hello,

Has anyone used a Vax vacuum/washer? How good are they as a vacuum and
how good are they as a washer? Is it better to hire a rug doctor if
your carpets are dirty or does the Vax work well?

Thanks in advance, Stephen.

Hi

Stephen coughed up some electrons that declared:

Hello,

Has anyone used a Vax vacuum/washer?

Yes

How good are they as a vacuum

Very good as a straight vac and very tough, good for rough work. Just
adequate but not great on carpet IME. Something with a powered beater (VAX
may have these as an option) is really needed on carpet to shift the hair
and fluff and knock the grit out.

and
how good are they as a washer?

Adequate. For something you can whip out in the event of spills or a quick
clean they are OK. I used one for years on short pile carpet.

Is it better to hire a rug doctor if
your carpets are dirty or does the Vax work well?

Normal dirt, quick go over upholstery or car, VAX is OK. Young children or
grossed out carpets: you're better off hiring the rug doctor. The
difference the scrubber bar makes is immense.

Thanks in advance, Stephen.

You're welcome

Cheers
