I received my new VAX W90-RU-B I had previously owned the VAX V-125 All Terrain Upright Carpet Washer and from unboxing the VAX W90-RU-B I could tell there had been a number of improvements from that model.



Having a accident prone wife, a small dog and young baby sometimes accidents can happen things get knocked over, mud bought in and dirty paws!



Unboxing is straight forward the VAX is safely packed and comes with a hose hand attachment along with a bottle of VAX ultra carpet cleaner. the handle slots into the top of the unit once a orange plug has been removed and re-inserted to hold the handle in place.



You then can wrap the hand hose attachment around the back of the unit which now locks into the back of the unit. this is a big improvement from the VAX V-125 as the previous models hand hose storage device only hooked on, now with this model there are three little turn locks which how the hose holding unit in place this is a big improvement as previously the hose kept falling off during storage/use.



the loading of water and cleaning product is also a big improvement as there is only one button to push and this releases the storage tank where the cleaning solution is put along with warm water.



there are two foot buttons on the unit one is the power the other is for lowering the VAX W90-RU-B to the floor to start the cleaning process.



The VAX W90-RU-B is so much lighter that the previous model the VAX V-125. With the VAX V-125 my wife did not like to use it upstairs as carrying it up there was a bit of a hassle for her (well that was her excuse anyway). However with the VAX W90-RU-B there is no excuses as it is a lot lighter and she even had to admit that she will have to think of a new excuse to get out of doing it now :-).



The simplicity of this VAX is great and the cleaning power is excellent it does not soak the carpet like other carpets washers do but cleans and removes the dirt with surprisingly ease thanks to the rotating brush. You really won't believe the difference in you carpet after cleaning, the amount of dirt and grime that is in/on your carpet that you do not even notice or have seen before! Once the dirty water tank needs emptying you will notice a change in the VAX operating noise and then you know it is time to empty it. However you do not need to wait for this and empty as you go or as you please.



I used the hand attachment to clean all the seats in the car, this was great and easy to do due to the small size of the head of the hand unit along with the scrubbing brush on the attachment on the hose. There is also no dripping from the attachment as i noticed on the VAX V-125. The hand attachment simply connects to the front of the unit at the base where the water is emptied from and the small tube connects to the front in order to apply the cleaning solutions through the hand attachment and to apply all that is required is to push the button on the underside of the hand attachment.



The VAX W90-RU-B is a lot quieter than the VAX V-125 and I would say not much noisier than a bag less hoover.



Emptying the dirty water is also now a lot easier as all that is required is a lift of the orange tab and then this enables you to lift out the tank and pour away the dirty water by undoing a twist circle seal on the back once emptied and quick rinse through with water and it clean and ready to be used again or stored away. there is also in the tank is a small filter that collects all the hair and fluff that too is easily cleaned.



My overall view of the VAX W90-RU-B is a excellent carpet cleaner lighter that others and easy to use, this may seem to be a glowing review but I really have nothing bad to say about the VAX it is by far the best carpet cleaner I have used and more than pleased with the cleaning power it really is going to save me a lot of time and money in the long run as no longer do I have to go hire a carpet cleaner in an 'emergency wife/baby/dog mess' situation now and as over Christmas i have found it really has saved me!
