About this deal

I’ve just received this and it looks brand new, just came in a plain box.

The Vax Platinum Power Max Carpet Cleaner cleans your carpets 5 times better than a high performance vacuum cleaner^. Together with the Vax Platinum solution, clean deep down and remove up to 93% of bacteria, leaving carpets looking clean and smelling fresh.
Tackles deep down dirt
The XL brush bar and patented SpinScrub technology in the Platinum Power Max agitates and lifts away deep-down dirt from your carpet fibres.
Quick Dry
The Vax Platinum Power Max has a wash and rinse mode. The rinse function and Dual V technology removes any shampoo residue and water left behind after carpet cleaning. Leaving your carpets dry in as little as 1 hour*

SpinScrub Technology
The Vax Platinum Power Max has seven SpinScrub bristles that sit behind the XL brush bar. These rotate in different directions to effectively lift and remove any dirt from deep within your carpet pile.

    Is there any vacuum cleaner that can remove cat fur from carpet floor?
    Currently, the most effective way for me is using a handheld metal squeegee but it ruins the carpet.

    You want to use something called a Grandi Groom or a Magic Brush sold by World of Clean. I'm a carpet cleaner of twenty years and those are the most cost effective solutions for the general public.

    Had a refurbished one of these for must be coming up 4 years now and it's been absolutely flawless. The only major failure with them is cleaning the brush bar, stupid design with screws and into plastic

    Had ours for 5 years, best purchase we have made with 2 kids and 2 cats. Good hoover with Dyson Turbo mode first then a clean with this beast. Also very good on sofas/cars with attachments. Do need to dismantle all the brushes and give a good clean every 5 or so deep cleans due to the cat hair build up.

    Just as positive feedback. I've previously ordered 2 from their vax Ebay site. 1 listed as damaged box 1 listed as returned item. Both arrived 100% brand new sealed in perfect boxs. I'm not saying all items will be in this condition but I've personally had great experiences with my purchases.
    The negative replys maybe from anti-vax people 🤐

    Had 3 Vax's - none of them lasted more than a few months. Should have learnt after the first one, lol.

    I checked the reviews before I bought it and the reviews were good. I decided that at this price it was worth giving it a chance as if I use it 3/4 times it’s cheaper than hiring a machine and more convenient.

    Had one with a 5 year warranty and after less than 12 months it failed with water in the motor. Phoned Vax and they asked me to plug it in and after listening to it over the phone they sent me a replacement and told me to bin the old one. I took it to bits to see if it was repairable but these are chuck away units. In all fairness the replacement has been fine but these aren’t an item that can be refurbished in my opinion so they probably are brand new maybe just damaged boxes?

    The one I received was brand new and hadn’t been used at all but in a plain cardboard box so it’s probably been a return or damaged box. It came with 1 year warranty which gave me some peace of mind and it’s quite a big saving. (edited)

    Looks like a good price, unless anyone can recommend a better option?

    I looked at the Bissell one aswell but decided on this one with the extra attachments to clean the sofas and stairs.

    Thanks OP, ordered. Cheapest that this has ever been on Amazon according to 3camel is the £179.99 that it currently is. So, this seems good value

    Mine arrived today, has obviously been used, with scratches all over it.

    Think I'll use it once, get the carpets clean and send it back

    Same here... Have to say after reading the comments I'm a bit underwhelmed by mine... The results aren't any better than my old VAX (must be 10 years old). Maybe I've got a dud but the water seemed to last for ages, did the whole of downstairs on one tank!
  14. KevinThorn's avatar
    Excellent deal, as others have mentioned looks like new just in plain box. Even came with a bottle of cleaning solution!

    Don't do it.

    The build quality is garbage.
  16. eddie.shaman's avatar
    They're cheap and nasty - and dangerous. Check out the reviews on Amazon.
  17. Kaywood's avatar
    Are these any good for a normal day to day dry vacuum? Or only excel at wet clean?
    daazzaa92's avatar
    No point using it as a dry vacuum it's a carpet cleaner you have to ideally hoover first then wash with this. It puts water down then sucks it back up with the dirt
  18. Skk1's avatar
    Can someone tell me what the difference is between this one and Vax Platinum smartwash? Thanks
  19. 441's avatar
    ebay.co.uk/itm…t=1

    Is this additional £70 worth it for the Platinum Smartwash or does this have pretty much the same features?
  20. Maxm4n's avatar
    Is this one used as a vacuum as well after cleaning the carpet?
    Ashley_Blake's avatar
    No just a carpet cleaner, carpets will still be slightly wet after use and dries over night, then would suggest another hoover to pick up any left over clumps if you have pets/people who shed a lot of hair!
