This little vax is powerful stuff, it really works on small or larger areas. It takes a bit of elbow grease but it's a good little cleaner, and I decided to spread the payments on Amazon which I didn't know was possible. Once the option came up I had to go for it to see how it works, and I've got a couple of months payment left. No extra interest charged. I know it works on some stains such as tea, battery, etc but so far no success in removing dried in hair dye stains.I bought it when I saw my son measuring up a section of carpet to cut ✂️ out on the floor. He said it was too stained and he wanted to replace it and I thought ?? so I suggested a carpet cleaner. Before using it for the first time, I also bought a Rug Doctor Heavy Stain Pre Treatment, squirt that on the stains for 10 mins then fill the Vax spotwash cleaner with the required amount of water and solution and even myself was surprised at how clean it got those stains out, including black ink stains - pen and marker, food and drinks stains and all sorts of gunge he had in his room. I was so happy when I saw the result, it was easy to use and I knew I got my money's worth. It's a handy little cleaner to have, especially if you only want to clean small areas only.For a whole room I'd just hire a carpet cleaner for a few hours, but this is handy to have around the house, especially if one of your kids threaten to cut out a piece of your carpet and underlay. Don't let them do it, buy this instead.It wasn't very heavy to move around the house, and I used it upstairs and down. I bought the large tank product without the pet tools for £149.Key points of note:-: easy to use, not too heavy and portable with carry handle: remove tough stains such as tea, ink etc: the hose has powerful suction for getting into those stains: it's good value for money: spread the payments with no interest charge: larger tank cuts time spend filling at the tap: for heavy stains, first treat with a heavy stain pre treatment first, squirt directly on the stain, leave on for 10-15 mins: can be used on sofas to remove greaseIt comes with a handy little storage base for the hose and storage grips at the back for the cable.I'm still exploring what this handy little cleaner can do, but so far I'm not disappointed. I cannot fault it, it packs a punch!
