After hiring carpet cleaners in the past, normally at least once a year to clean the carpets I always thought that home use ones would not be as good or easy to use. After getting the VAX W90-RU-B Rapide Ultra cleaner I was amazed how easy it was to setup.



Once setup it did not stop there, it is easy to fill the water container and place back onto the carpet cleaner, which easily fits on the back and does fit securely as not to seem that it will come off. I thought to try out first I would try cleaning my daughter's bedroom which has a cream carpet - probably not the best choice for a 5 year old. As you can imagine there was a number of marks/stains on the carpet from crayons and pens as well as the odd drink split etc.



Using the carpet cleaner was easy, following the advice in the accompanied booklet you can easily apply the solution on the forward push of the cleaner allowing the return - pulling the cleaner back to pick up the solution. I was amazed at the amount of dirt that was brought out of the carpet. As well as the stains/marks being removed it is amazing how dirty the water is when you empty the cleaner which again as a simple task of just unclicking the tank and taking to the sink or drain and pouring out then placing back into position and clipping back in place.



It took no time at all to clean the carpet with amazing results and as well as a clean carpet the room smells so much fresher. And you also have the knowledge that it has removed all the dust mites etc. from the carpet too.



The one thing to remember to do first is to give the carpet a good hoover before cleaning to pick up all the hairs and fluff from the carpet and for harder stains you can always use a pre-treatment I suppose if needed but I have not had the need for this so far.



The hoover is lighter than I expected so easy to move about and to store the handle can be detached to fit in smaller places.



All in all I great carpet cleaner and easy to use.
