Product Information

A carry handle on the front is useful for those times you do have to lift this machine, but I recommend wheeling it when you can. One downside is that this cleaner is very loud: I measured it at 84dB. This is around the same as loud city traffic. Fortunately, this isn’t a tool that you’re likely to use very often. Should you buy the Vax Platinum SmartWash Carpet Cleaner? Having a Vax Carpet Cleaner, such as the Vax Platinum Power Max or Vax Rapid Power Advance on hand will encourage you to clean your carpets often, and this is important in maintaining a clean home and prolonging the life of your carpets. When used with Vax Platinum Antibacterial solution, use biocides safely, always read the label & product information before use.

With a Vax Carpet Cleaner, you can deep clean your carpets all year round, without the hassle of hiring or renting a carpet washer machine. You’ll save more money in the long term when buying your own and can use it as often as you want for carpets, stairs and upholstery cleaning. You can also clean your own home at your own convenience, without having to return a rented Carpet Cleaner.

Removing the plastic cover to access the brushes for cleaning is simple enough. And I also found I had to wipe down the inside of the floor head, too. Use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. The Vax Platinum SmartWash isn’t going to replace your vacuum cleaner and it isn’t the kind of device you’re going to want to use every week. This means your mileage is really going to vary depending on how much carpet and upholstery you have that needs cleaning, and how regularly you’re willing to put up with the inconvenience of damp carpets, no matter how temporary. Vacuum cleaning on its own isn’t enough to remove deep down dirt that’s embedded within the carpet pile. Dirt can build up over time to eventually weigh down and flatten carpet fibres if they’re not thoroughly cleaned. Vax Carpet Cleaners remove this build-up of dirt, odours and brighten the overall appearance of carpets. The NEW Vax Platinum Smartwash is our best ever carpet washer with next generation motion sense technology, it’s effortlessly simple to use. The Vax Platinum SmartWash effortlessly outperforms the UK's leading rental and delivers a deep clean 7 times more effective than vacuuming alone ‡, ensuring you have spotless carpets, clean upholstery and fresh car interiors. Kill over 99% of bacteria with the Vax Platinum Smartwash and Platinum Antibacterial solution.

The SpotlessGo is equipped with two scrubbing brushes (a nylon one for general duties and a rubberised comb for cleaning up after pets), a short 80cm hose, a small 28ml water tank and a much larger 400ml dirty-water reservoir. That violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); It’s an effective carpet cleaner, however. Switching the machine on will set its rotating brushes and suction off, while a trigger on the handle releases a 2% mix of Bissell’s cleaning fluid (of which 236ml is supplied) and warm water. Squirt a bit of that into the carpet, then let the brush do its work. It wasn’t as hard-working in our tests as more expensive models, but it does an excellent job for the price. For close-up stain removal jobs or working on upholstery, you can plug in the supplied 2.5-metre hose and use the attachments. There’s a standard handheld tool, which can be used with the antimicrobial brush or the pet attachment with its rubber nodules. These are the same tools that fit on the battery-powered Vax ONEPWR SpotlessGo.If you would prefer to use less water and get your carpets dry sooner, there’s an Express Clean option that’s not quite as thorough but leaves carpets dry within 30 minutes. There’s even a spot wash option that squirts an extra dose of cleaning fluid from the front so you can efficiently target a stain before you set it washing. Everything about this carpet cleaner is over-sized, including the large floor head with two brushes. These have blue bristles thanks to an anti-microbial coating, and are similar to the those on the Vax ONEPWR Blade 4 Pet.

To accelerate the drying process there’s a dry-only button, which stops adding more water when pushing it forward and just lifts water out of the carpet. I found I needed to do this a fair bit to collect the moisture from the carpet but it leaves it surprisingly dry considering the amount of water that’s passing through the system and collecting in the waste tank. It still needs a few hours after cleaning to completely dry, though. Key specs – Weight: 2.8kg; Cable length: Cordless; Cleaning width: 10cm; Clean capacity: 28ml; Hose: Yes; Heater: No; Warranty: 3 years The machine also comes with useful tools included for targeting smaller stains and spills – simply connect the hose and add your desired tool. These include the 2-in-1 antimicrobial tool for both multi-purpose cleaning and mess such as pet spills. The angular shape of this 2-in-1 tool means it can reach into crevices easily, which makes it useful for getting right into the sides of the sofa or on stairs, for example. We found this tool worked particularly well when we were trying to scrub out an old stain on the carpet. The kit also comes with a SpinScrub hand tool, which is designed more for targeting stains and stubborn marks on rugs and carpets. As for carpet cleaning, this is excellent. The cleaning head is composed of a single roller but it’s crammed with bristles. This has a transformative impact on dirty carpets, agitating and shampooing them thoroughly, particularly if you set it to its Deep Clean option, although this does leave carpets a little damp.READ NEXT: The best hard floor cleaners to buy Is there an alternative to spending good money on a carpet cleaner? Weighing 7.4kg and measuring 107cm high, the Vax Platinum Smartwash Carpet Cleaner can feel a little bulky when you first use it. It’s shaped like an upright vacuum cleaner but is a little more awkward to manoeuvre around your home. Once we got used to the feel of it, however, we found it easy to use. There’s a handle on the front of the body, which made lifting it up the stairs relatively easy.
