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.

Excellent machine
Excellent machine. Just used on my living room and hall carpets, easy to set up and use. Just replaced my last VAX carpet cleaner which was just over 30 years old but still working

Well worth buying
As effective as I hoped it would be Easy to use Didn’t realise how dirty our carpets were until I saw the dirty water tank after use.

Newer model - still a great clean
Bought my second Vax.... this one is as all models lighter, more streamlined and easier to move without losing any cleaning power/capabilities. Only small niggle - the compartment that clips into the base above the rollers doesn't insert flush on my machine... it works but it's not meant to be like that but that is super critical.

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.
