It works very well as a cleaner and carpet vac. Very powerful. There is no other carpet washer at this price. Incredibly useful for stairs and car as well as other tasks like cleaning cat poo off cushions, mattresses after child "accidents" etc. Would not do without it.
Downsides:
- heavy
- noisy
- o rings in wash attachments cannot be replaced by vax (they perish) and are not a standard size. Nearest replacements from hardware store nearly fitted but make push fittings hard to get apart.
- fiddly to set up in wash mode
- pump switch has failed (not really a problem, just always on).
- lid bolts came loose (fixed easily myself)
- stair upholstery fitment became easily blocked. Had to pull apart with pliers to clean.
- could do with a curved stair attachment to get edges done properly.
Bear in mind with all of this I have had it years and use it frequently.
