I can’t get over how good it is, the suction power is incredible compared to standing units!
Suction power = 10/10The vacuum is incredibly strong and even after soaking the carpet and brushing it before running over it the unit did a fantastic job of pulling up i’d say about 95% of the moisture, I’ve used standing carpet extractors before which have left my carpet feeling damp and rather wet – this unit is miles better by comparison and is even cheaper, the carpet isn’t bone dry but with how slightly moist it is it will dry up pretty quickly.Ease of installation and use = 10/10Unboxing it is simple, you get a few bags with the spare brush and extractor heads, clip the head you want onto the handle, install the two hose clips to the lower front and back of the unit for keeping the hose tidy in storage, unclip the clean water tank and fill her up – be careful not to go the maximum as there is a breathing port just above the fill valve that will shoot a jet of water out if you encourage it to, plug her in clip the brush extractor attachment you want onto the handle and flip the switch and you’re on your way.Self cleaning feature and cleaning routine = 10/10Once you’re done you remove the brush head and stick the handle into the self cleaning port at a downward angle and the unit cleans itself which is very simple and easy, removing the dirty water tank and unclipping the top half to empty it and give it a rinse is simple enough, there is a small screen under the dirty water tank you need to clean of any hairs or debris and it looks like you may need to remove the screen to remove the plate to remove it for a deep clean otherwise just picking off anything there is easy as a lot of the fine debris goes into the dirty water tank.I’m very impressed with how effective the unit is, it’s nicely built and easy to use and does a great job at extracting the cleaning solution from a carpet, I can’t wait to use it inside my car to deepclean the seats and floormats.The dirty water tank has a max volume marker which looks to be about 60% so it won’t hold a full 1 litre of fluid as it will begin spilling out of the tank at the very bottom, so do be mindful to empty the tank, i’d say for every 1ltr (full) water tank, you can get two dirty water tanks out of it by going to the half way point at around 500ml’s.I was shocked at how nasty the dirty water tank was and how much sediment seemed to have formed in the tank.After comparing more expensive options like Bissell units and a few other cheaper alternatives I’m extremely glad to have purchased this bit of equipment, I have no negative points to make about it as it’s incredibly well designed.It’s as loud as a hoover, it’s not uncomfortably loud but it’s not silent as it has what a 1000w or more motor pulling a vacuum, it’s moving a lot of air so it’s going to be noisy.over all 5 golden stars as this is a perfect tool and i would personally recommend it to anyone for cleaning both the house and car with.

Good durability but requires a lot of elbow grease.
The general quality/durability is good and it does the job. You need to be in a good physical condition though because in order for you to use it, you have to crouch down and apply a lot of pressure to get good suction. I wore a wrist guard and often had to go over it up to 5 times to get all of the dirty water out. So the suction power could be better. Note that the 250ml solution that this comes with doesn’t go far so buy a bottle of Vax solution too.

Don’t bother the product has zero value for money, I regret buying this so much. Does not work at all. Does not get out any visible stains or dirt marks. Waste of money.

Love this item. Excellent for cleaning the stairs and sofa. Easy to use. Would be lost without it now. Beats scrubbing the stains

Good suction,cleans carpet well,easy to use on stairs
