Good machine but not perfect.
This is a good machine, much better than our previous Vax Carpet Cleaner, but still not perfect so I gave it 4 stars. On the old one, manky pet fur could not be cleaned out of the dirty water tank or suction manifold and it was a pain to drain the dirty water out over the sink, years of fur accumulated in the tank! I felt that no one on the design team had ever washed a carpet with pet fur engrained in it. This new one is very much better, the designer seems to have got a pet now :-) The dirty water container opens fully and you can tip it out and rinse all the pet fur out. The suction manifold also clips off easily and is not too hard to clean. It still lacks a proper pouring spout on the dirty water tank or an easy way to handle it once the lid is removed. You are pouring dirty water over a very substantial lip which isn't ideal but better than it was. It takes a few rinses to get residual grit out from behind the lip but its miles better than the old design. The separate cleaning solution tank and auto-mixing is great but I think mine leaks a bit, so its better than having to put a measured amount of solution into the clean water tank every time but I'm not completely confident that it isn't leaking and that its dispensing the right amount.. Its great that you can just fill the clean water tank with water and not have to bother with adding solution every time. The motion sensor to automatically switch from wash to dry is brilliant compared to manually triggering on the old one. The dry only setting is essential and very useful. Overall its much easier to use than its predecessor. The cable is good and long so it will reach almost anywhere in a room without changing plug or needing an extension lead. A minor gripe with the new machine compared to the old one is that there is nowhere obvious to lift and carry it. There is a sort of handle on the back but it always seems slimy from leaked cleaning solution. On the old machine you could pick it up by the handle of the clean water tank when it was securely locked into place. On the new machine, what at first appeared to be a handle on the front is actually the release for the dirty water tank. Overall I'm satisfied and its a big improvement over its predecessor (which eventually burned out after about 15 years of regular use in a house with two big dogs, and which was also an excellent machine in its time). I'm sure the next iteration will address my remaining gripes and be almost perfect and worthy of 5 stars, but if this machine is as robust as the old one I'll have to wait another 15 years to find out.

It does dry in an hour
Very good carpet cleaner. The tanks are easy to fill and empty. After I used it to clean the carpet, I switched on the dry mode. This left the carpet quite dry. On occasion, it stopped sucking the water, so I just switched it off and on again, sort of reset it. The machine needs to be cleaned afterwards. All the brushes and the front cover, because even though my carpet was clean, a lot of fluff came off it and was stuck in between the brushes. It was easy to clean and put back, once dry.

I bought this as a replacement for exactly the same machine. I am disappointed that it ran out of puff after about 5 years.
Double trouble

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,
