About this product
The Vax Platinum Smartwash is a proper deep cleaning carpet cleaner that takes the effort out of getting carpets properly clean. Motion Sense Technology does the thinking for you, automatically washing as you push forwards and drying as you pull back, with no trigger to hold down. It dispenses the right amount of solution and water as you go, and there's a dedicated Dry Only mode that gets carpets dry in around an hour. At 8.6kg it's solid but manageable, and the 9m cord gives you decent reach without constantly switching sockets.
The Flexforce Brushbars have flexible bristles that work deep into carpet fibres to lift stains, dirt and grime, and the edge-to-edge design means you won't miss bits along skirting boards. The clean water tank holds 3.5l and the dirty tank 1.9l, letting you clean several rooms before refilling or emptying. It works on carpets, stairs and upholstery, and includes a 2.5m hose, 2-in-1 Antimicrobial Tool, Spinscrub Hand Tool, accessory bag, 500ml Vax Platinum Antibacterial Solution, and 250ml Pre-Treatment Solution. There's a safety cut-out when full, a carry handle, and it cleans spills as well as deep dirt.

Outstanding Claret Cleaner
This is the second carpet cleaner we have had from Vax. The previous one we had for 10 years and it was very good at cleaning our carpets. So we did expect the new Smartwash to be as good and we were not disappointed. However there were a few improvements that we really like - 1 the separate container for the concentrate 2 the ease with which the brushes can be taken out - no screws to remove 3 the cleaner automatically only washes on the forward motion and dries when being pulled backwards. All great improvements.

Worth it for the price.
I bought this carpet cleaner a couple of weeks ago. So far it has been used in the hall which is a heavy usage area, the stain removal is good but not perfect as some of the marks have been there for some years. The drying speed is excellent. I am pleased with the facility to just dry rather than wash and dry.

A very competent machine
Purchased to clean 80% wool carpet. After 6 years our oat coloured carpets were looking a bit on the dirty side. Bought this and used the next day. Overall, the experience was very good. Definitely cleaner and removed a small dirty patch by the sofa where my feet usually rest. The machine uses relatively small amounts of cleaning solution and water. The drying action is excellent. I chose a hot day to use the cleaner and the carpets were dry in about 4/5 hours. Cleaning the machine after use is very easy. Overall I am extremely happy with the results.

Superior design.
The product works as described however, I would like to point out & give credit to the product design team, the ease with which you can completely dismantle the brushes and cover to remove debris after use is simply brilliant. Well done!

Great cleaner
Bought this last week to replace older vax. This is far superior in every respect and the dry only function is brilliant. I would highly recommend.

Hello Sanj
Vax Platinum Smartwash Upright Carpet Cleaner
While Vax does not explicitly state that hair never gets tangled, user guides and product descriptions emphasize that the brush bars are quick and simple to access and clean, which suggests that if hair or fibres do wrap around them, you can remove and clean the bars easily. This is common for most carpet cleaners, especially in homes with pets or long hair
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Tg,
