VAX Platinum PowerMax Carpet Cleaner Review | The Carpenter's Daughter
Рет қаралды 406,082
6 жыл бұрынEver since I decided to dig up our driveway to lay gravel, and holes for fence posts, we've traipsed a LOT of mud in and dirtied our new carpets.
Sadly my old carpet cleaner broke, so in today's video, I show you how I bring my carpets back while reviewing a brand new Vax Platinum Powermax carpet cleaner. I'll also be comparing it to my old Bissell cleaner.
I also share some muddy carpet prevention tips at the end which I now know from our mistakes, but any extra tips are more than welcome in the comments!
*This is a PR sample which I only agreed to honestly review on my blog. However, as I like to use KZfaq to research products before buying them, it made sense to film it too for demonstration purposes.
Here's the Vax Platinum Powermax if you want to check it out:
www.vax.co.uk/carpet-cleaners-...
Also, note the claim for carpets to be dry within 1 hour is under the quick setting, but I'm a whole hog girl and went for deep clean in this video.

I admire your "I can do this" attitude so much! I have to smile when I see u working on a project outdoors, I too have no workshop and also end up working in the garden, kitchen, living room, on the coffee table or wherever I can find a space. Here in South Africa we have many more sunny and warm days than u do, so I really feel for u when I see u working outside in the rain and cold 😢 Your videos are marvellously informative and well made, I watch them as much for the enjoyment as for the information gained! I think people in England are much more into DIY home improvement than we are here and it shows in the greater array of tools and products that are available to u there.... just an observation. Cheers!

Thank you!!! I don’t look forward to cleaning my carpets, ever. Mainly because I do it so seldom I can’t ever remember what goes where and it’s painful. But after your help, it’s really simple - thank you! My machine is new, used it once maybe twice before. Mislaid the manual. It’s it’s lovely weather this weekend, thought I’d give it a go. It is a good machine and going over the carpet slowly is definitely the way to use it. It is noisy but does make you feel great once the carpets are clean again 🎉the pre treatment solution is very good. Thank you

Great review, my 5 year old Vax cleaner broke down today, so I was keen to replace it. Having watched your review I decided to give the VAX platinum a try. The Vax platinum is fantastic and works very well, I used it on the deep clean setting and 2 hours later the carpet is almost dry! Top 3 benefits for me: 1. It really does clean quite well 2. It has a rinse function 3. I can use it on anything! I tried it on a foot stool, Stairs, Armcahir and kitchen, it performed great in all areas. Okay top 3 areas where it didn't do so well; 1. It is heavy, it is like doing a workout 2. My old Vax used to leave little bits of fluff and dirt as I cleaned, this machine spits out so much of it 3. The machine comes with some attachements for doing stairs and funiture, getting the end attachment on and off the hose is a bit difficult. 4. I know, I said three things, the liquid is too expensive, I am tempted to use just water to wash the carpet.

Love the review. We had a Bissell also. We lent it out and when it came back it didn't work anymore. (Very sad). We have looked at many and this one seems really good compared to the ones we have looked at. One thing that we do is to clean the carpets every 6 months. We kept our carpet for 15 years before replacing just by keeping it clean. Also in high traffic areas we put down clear plastic runners and would replace them when they became dingy. When our kids were young and just learning to eat we put down a big sheet of plastic under their chair and side of the table, that way we could wipe up spills really easy and not destroy the carpet. We also always take our shoes off when we come in and we have a place at the door for everyone's shoes.

Gutting :( Carpet cleaners are great to have. In fact, when we bought our first camper, I got a 1k quote (no joke) to clean the carpets and upholstery in it, but it was in a terrible state... so I got my Bissell out for the day instead and it made such a difference. I'm so relieved to have one again - Just got to make sure I don't misplace the bag of tools lol

@Neil3D Жыл бұрын
For anyone watching years later, cos these are still on sale, you don't just use this with the trigger pulled the whole time... that's why the carpet ends up drenched. Basically you pull the trigger to release the solution and/or water, then when you let go of the trigger it just sucks it back up. So you're meant to move forwards with the trigger pulled, then pull backwards over the same area with the trigger released.

Nice, saw the advert on TV this morning. I want one. I have a Springer Spaniel that makes the place dirtier than when my kids were toddlers. I have the big old round Orange VAX already, but the new one take up less space and no dragging it around. The old one may get relegated to the shed and used for clearing block sinks and stuff and pumping out my small pond gradually, it will definitely get re-purposed for other things, not thrown away as it is only 2 years old.

Ok! 2nd try, 2nd area....much better..confidence is the answer. If you are cleaning top quality wool carpet 80/20 keep the hoover handy because you will experience lots of old pile and fluff. Uses a lot of water on Deep Clean, 15m2 of hall carpet used 12 litres of water but it seems to be drying quite quickly. After the wash I used the suction quite a lot, not just one up and one down more like one up with wash and 3 down with suction. Cleaning up the machine after wasn't so bad this time, I used the hosepipe all over the business end and it looks like new. So like the man said when asked "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" the answer is "Practise man, practise!" Cleaning solution VAX AAA+ is available at Argos, 2 units for £12.99 is a good buy.

Sadly my Platinum power max motor burnt out and left black marks on the carpet. I don't have pets and used it only about six times. Initialy I was very happy with it but the burning smell with small kids around was a very scary experience. Having black marks on the carpet was opposite to what I was trying to achieve. contacting customer service is impossible.

Bought this machine to replace my old vax carpet cleaner which I loved. I always hoover thoroughly before using the cleaner but same as Bill Hales, get tons of fluff spitting out from the brushes and have many times had to take it apart to clean the fluff out because it stops sucking up the water so easily. Had to unblock it after only the second use of it which is so frustrating as cleaning it requires unscrewing about 10 screws!! It does an ok job when it is working but not nearly as good as my old model and very expensive!

My tip for carpet cleaning is remarkably straightforward When you wash clothes, you give them a rinse, several times, and a lot of dirt comes out of rinsing. same with carpets. Fill them chamber without solution and pass a few rinses on the carpet. You'd be surprised how much more dirt is sucked up.

Thanks for your video. Ive never used a carpet washer before and I’ve just bought one of these and tried it for the first time today. It was straightforward to put together but I didn’t find the manual very useful as far as cleaning instructions are concerned. What is the rinse setting for. Are we supposed to rinse the carpet with only clean water after we have cleaned it because I thought you just shampooed then left it to dry which is what I’ve done so is this settings to do something else? I didn’t get a lot of water or soap suds either and the carpet didn’t feel very wet but I did use it on the quick clean setting as the carpet was not very dirty so maybe that’s why. I think it looks cleaner but it was hard to tell. I used about 60ml of cleaner in 1.5 litres of water. (I agree it would be helpful to have a proper measuring guide) I’m just not sure if I did it correctly. I didn’t get much dirty water in the bin either but it did pull up loads of fluff from the carpet even though I’d thoroughly vacuumed it before washing so I’m not sure if that might of stopped it from working properly by blocking the suction. It’s quite a new carpet. Also how often are you supposed to undo all those screws on the bottom to clean out that part or is it ok to just pick out all the fluff and bits with your fingers and not open it. It seems a lot of faffing about when the rest of the parts rinse out easily.
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 6 жыл бұрын
I must admit, I never entertained the rinse setting initially. But ever since watching Ibaisaic's KZfaq channel reviewing an older version, he said the rinse setting sucks up a lot more dirt, so will try it in the future. I personally would try the rinse using the carpet shampoo solution as I have lots of older Bissell stuff still too, but it may very well work with the pretreatment solution where you can leave it for 5 to 10 minutes. Also, I never used quick clean, but VAX have told me that's the setting that leaves your carpet dry within an hour. Maybe try once more using rinse then deep clean? Oooh.. not sure how often you're meant to cut the fluff away (I'm quite lazy at times lol) but I can imagine it's best to do after each use. And completely agree about it bringing up fluff etc! But if you clean your carpets say twice a year, I suppose it's probably not too much of a hardship... I really should clean the bottom properly now you've said that lol

I contacted Vax company for a replacement gear box that had ceased up.They told me to buy a new carpet cleaner. Not happy with that, I wrote an honest review on their site, They removed my review, as faster than you could say deception. Not happy with that, I wrote another asking them what was the point, of going to the trouble of writing a review if the Company would REMOVE ANY REVIEWS THAT THEY DID NOT LIKE.After reading all the reviews on their Vax site, I now believe that they must write them all themselves. Vax is a Company not to be trusted.

Hi does anyone know if you are supposed to dilute the solution first as this machine has a separate solution tank and an automix. I have only used it once but used half a litre of solution and only one tank of water which seems an excess amount of carpet cleaning solution

Susan _h no don't need to dilute it as the water dilutes it

OMG yesss, when I had a baby and him crawling on the floor, dropping food and toys and putting them straight to his mouth made me as a parent have a no shoes policy in the house ....I mean what mother who loves their their baby wouldn't 🙄. . My son is 14 today and we still have a no shoes in the house rule and I just upgraded to this machine which I'll use for the first time today, so with all that,I still wash my carpets...but each to their own 🤷🏾♀️.

@@omadjourney Absolutely, you do what is best for you and your loved ones. I too still clean the carpet after a 'no shoe in the house' policy. It most certainly helps :)

Does anyone else have a problem with the hose attachment? Seems a bit loose on mine where it won't let the water jet out at the head, unless I hold it in at the same time has trying to clean with it.

I've just bought the same one....yet to use it on my cream carpet. I never let anyone walk on the carpet with shoes under any circumstances and that does seem to work but being cream it shows up every mark....hence the vax purchase

I bought one of their carpet cleaners, You don't use these cleaners very often, Well, if your a clean person. I used it just three times, when the gear box ceased up. I contacted the VAX company, they were not interested, They said, buy another machine. I will not be buying VAX anything anymore. The last time I posted this, it was removed within minutes. Must tell you something about VAX.
