    Good Points: Does a reasonable job of cleaning the carpet.


    Bad Points: Not very robust in my opinion.


    General comments: I would not buy this Vax Rapide XL again as it was not robust enough. Water pipe on the side is prone to splitting and leaking water all over the carpet, I have had to trim the split off several times and refit the pipe. The filter disintegrates quickly.
    The machine in my opinion is excessively noisy. The AAA carpet cleaning product is good.

    When comparing with other makes, remember to add the cost of replacement float chamber filters, which you will have to buy for the life of the machine. Vax customer services say they should last 3-6 months. My thought is that it's a bad design and a way for Vax to continue making money after the sale of the product.

    The VAX Rapide Classic and VAX Rapide XL are both carpet cleaners to be proud of. They easily defeat the competition of VAX's competitor, Bissel, and are worth the money you pay for them (which ranges between £100 and £200 new in shops).

    I don't have any carpets in my home, but just a lot of rugs and laminate flooring. I have a small number of materialised chairs and a set of leather sofas and other leather purchases.
    We use the cleaner on our rugs, mainly.

    To get started, jus ...
