    Very disappointing!

    Bought my Vax V-081 Compact 1500w and used only once to clean carpets in smaller rooms and hallway. No real difference as carpets not that dirty - more interested in just giving them a good steam cleanse! So can't comment on how effective it is on stain removal.

    Next time I wanted to use it ( 6 weeks later ) no steam produced at all despite the water heating up to the required temperature! Tried again and again (even descaled the tank just in case ) but to no avail.

    Would ...

    I bought the VAX V081 steam cleaner and was very disappointed with its performance. Originally, I had a Polti steam cleaner which was wonderful. The pressure was higher than the Vax and cleaning was easier. Despite vacuuming, the vax won't remove left over cat/dog hairs. Also, the vax leaves floors and furniture very wet. I used to use the Polti to steam clean my mattresses during the summer and they were dry in a short length of time. The lance and accessories with the Vax are very delicate. Wo ...

    I am heavily pregnant and thought the Vax V-081 Compact 1500w would help me clean with ease. I've tried it twice now on all surfaces, tiles, mirrors, glass, laminate floor, carpet, none of which were heavily soiled and I have found that nothing beats a suitable cloth and product, in fact, the machine is now out for recycling and I'm going to hire a proper carpet cleaner, I wish I had done this in the 1st place.

    This is the second Vax V-081 steam cleaner i have had due to returning the previous one after two days because the water heater was faulty. It is a good all round cleaner and can be used pretty much everywhere around the home, walls, floors, tiles, windows, beds etc. It gives good results and is fab for getting in those areas that are hard to reach. Unfortunately the handle is poor quality and hot water drips out when in use which is a real letdown

    I bought this steamer particularly to clean my carpets, thinking I could use it for other things too. It took me two mornings to clean my dining room carpet and it still isn't clean. I had various food stains left by my grandchildren but the steamer would not touch them. (My carpet is a good quality wool carpet). In the end I had to use a spot cleaner. As for other areas that were just generally dirty, it did clean to a certain extent but not really clean. It was a waste of time really so ...
