HAVE ONLY USED IT ONE TIME SO FAR BUT IT DONE A VERY GOOD JOB ON MY LIVING ROOM CARPET REMOVING A NUMBER OF SPOTS WILL DO REST OF HOUSE AFTER THE NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS.

Yes I have used it and it is great, with plenty of power and nice and light to move around. I have previously used the larger model and found that heavy to use and it would have been more bulky to store. My only regret is that you cannot use tools with the Rapide Spring Clean as that would have been a great option to have even if you had to buy separately. I am also slightly concerned that because it is lighter and therefore the 'body' of the unit probably not as strong - that it may be easy to chip/crack the main hoover area against doors and or furniture if you are not careful - I will wait to see if this is the case.

The Rapide Spring clean is incredibly easy to use. It is so convenient you could use it daily to clean away stains. I was particularly impressed when it cleaned out a dark inground stain from a deep pile bedroom carpet that came up like new. So easy to handle and use I gave my parents downstairs carpets a clean in just over an hour. Great product.

A very light and easy to use machine, does as it says cleans very well with not alot of effort, if there is one downside its the lack of an attachment for cleaning stairs, overall very pleased.

For the money its a decent little carper cleaner;easy to use/manouvre and light enough to carry up/downstairs when filled (even though I'm an OAP with medical issues). Its compact enough to fit into a small area for storage, ideal and handy for cleaning spills and dirty footprints on rugs. In all I would recommend this to a friend, thats how I came to buy mine. My friend loaned me hers to try first, next time I was in my local ASDA I picked one up for myself, I find it ever so useful.

Really lightweight, really easy to use and really really works brilliantly.
This is so fantastic and cleaned my carpets up a treat. Will have to do them a second time, but that's only because the dog has made them so dirty!
It turned the carpets back to white on the first use. Fantastic!

A very tidy little machine, easy to put together, light weight and easy to handle.
Have only used once but very pleased with results - amazed at amount of dirt lifted out of the carpet which looks years newer.
Only downside I can see is that it seems to use a fair amount of shampoo which could make the cleaning more expensive per wash than I envisaged.

Have used carpet cleaner with excellent results. Very lightweight and economical with shampoo.
Mr W. G. Dolden
(Posted on 08/12/2011)
We are very pleased with this purchase which has already paid for itself as it would have cost much more to get some one in.
The results were very good. We saw the dirt coming out in the water and the carpet was left clean and fresh and not too wet. It also re-junvenated the carpet pile. We used the vax ultra plus as we had had a dog for a long time.
The machine is light and easy to handle. The only thing we regret is perhaps not having researched further as it would have been useful to have an attatchment to do small corners and the stairs, and perhaps upholstry but on the whole we are very pleased.

I have used my Rapide Spring Clean a couple of times since I bought it about a week ago. My carpets were pretty grubby as I have two dogs and it is a while since I did a shampoo of the carpets! I found putting it together initially very straight forward. After using it I was very pleased with the simple way it came apart to be washed out and how easily it all slotted back together. I had to go over the carpets a couple of times because they were in such need, but they have certainly come up brighter and fresher. If I had to say anything about what I felt was lacking, it is just the need of some sort of handle or hand hold closer to the body of the cleaner to make carrying it up stairs easier, as the handle at the top does not allow for lifting it high enough to get up the stairs easily.
All in all I am pleased with the performance and ease of use of the cleaner.

easy to use but struggles not very impressed with it. ok on dark carpets no good on my cream carpet
Jackie Wyatt
(Posted on 06/12/2011)
Easy to put together and to use. It does leave the carpet damp but this is what I expected. It managed to remove most of the stains on my carpet - the only one that has not completely gone was very old and covered quite a large area. However, it is now difficult to see and I am hoping that with the next clean it will disappear completely. I am very pleased with the product.

My 80+ year old mother bought the machine and found 2 issues. 1) the construction notes print was too small & 2) no where in the instructions does it specify how much detergent to put into the machine - a major flaw. The only way to resolve the detergent issue was to contact your customer support people who were aware that the lack of quantity of detergent instruction was missing.

Really good product, lighter than my previous Vax Rapide carpet washer, more water comes out and the vaccuum is good, the carpets are almost dry. I am really embarrassed when I empty the dirty water tank - I didn't realise how dirty my carpets were!
BUT I do miss the facility / tools to be able to clean the stairs and upholstery which my previous machine had.
Linda Lindsay
(Posted on 20/11/2011)
I found that the results were very good! However, there was a couple of little things that I noticed.
I found the instructions a little vague - I would have liked to know exactly how much water the container holds instead of guessing, it would be helpful to have markings on the side, for the times you just need to clean a small area, and don't need it filled to capacity. It wasn't too clear on how to put the machine together - drawings are all well and good, provided they're supported by concise instructions.
That aside, I think the machine is excellent value for money, and I'm very pleased with it.
Jeanne Clarke

I found the Rapide Spring Clean easy to assemble and to use. The one thing that caused slight difficulty was in searching for how much cleaner to add to the container of water. I realised eventually that this was explained pictorially. I think the web site could at least advise that a small quantity of cleaner is included with the Rapide and possibly even say how much is used per filling.

I have had Vax carpet washers before and this cleaner is in the same class EXCELLENT.I can honestly say i have never thought about buying any other make.I am disabled and if iam still around when this one needs replacing i will buy Vax again and i would highly recommend Vax to anyone.

We have used our vax twice now and we are very pleased with its cleaning ability and its ease of emptying and washing the machine after use.

J Webster

I have always hired an industrial cleaner on a timed hire this was very hard work and very disruptive as we had to wait for each room to dry.
The VAX Spring Clean is fantastic so simple to operate cleans well,no need to clean a complete room in one go, dirty area's can be done over again.I only wish we had purchased a household carpet cleaner years ago.

I recently purchased, the Vax Rapide Spring Clean.
It was so easy to put together, A child could do it, then having used it I was thrilled with the results, this is a very good Gutsy little cleaner,and well worth the money.It also left the carpets virtually dry
you can watch it draw the water out!
Robert Barnett
(Posted on 10/11/2011)
It gave a little spring to the carpet but didn't really clean as well as one would have hoped so had to go over the carpet a couple of times and did not deal at all well with even the lightest of stains, but what can you expect for such little money. I suppose a higher end model would have attachments to cope with stairs but generally I think it is ok.

i had a quick clean around yesterday, just a couple of rugs that were quite "mucky" and they came up a treat, i have to buy somemore cleaning fluid and i will be getting on with my carpets.
i am very impressed with this product.
David Logan
(Posted on 06/11/2011)
A very good cleaner which does exactly what it promises. Two small criticisms however. If you lay the water tank flat after filling with cleaning solution it leaks at the handle. Secondly would it be possible to have one litre quantities marked on the tank so that you can add the cleaning fluid and then top up to the relevant quantity rather than have to measure it out in ltres?

The machine has cleaned the front room carpet and the main bedroom carpet very well,whether it will last only time will tell, as we have had two vax cleaners before and both didn't last long, was not going to buy a vax again but Amazon were doing a very good deal and the machine has a 2 year guarantee and other makes of machines did not have very good write ups from user's but this one did, so hope all is ok.

Gavin Rivers
(Posted on 10/10/2011)
I have used a few times now and although I am hapy with the product I think the following may be of benefit. More even distibution of the liquid . I find it is very random on certain carpet types. adjustable height. Somtimes the pick up isn't great on short carpets. Would benefit from a rotating brush (not sure if other models have this). Would beenfit from hand held with brush for stubborn areas again not sure if this is on other models.

I have just got around to using the machine and I find it is brilliant.
It is much lighter than the other model I had been using for some years and I can even handle it on the staircase!
It cleans the carpet and at the same time removes the hairs left on the surface by my two cats.

I was quite pleased overall with the quality of clean. I think the nstructions for the dilution of the liquid cleaner could be clearer.
As the dreawing of the inclusion of cleaning liquid is quite small I actually didn't use enough cleaner the first time I used it, so had to repeat the process. Carpets are certainly fresher.

The machine was light and easy to handle and clean. I didn't think it would give such a good result as the cleaning company who normally steam clean my carpets as the water should not exceed 40 or 50 degrees - so I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the Vax removed marks and stains from my carpets, leaving them noticeably brighter and fresher than before.
I was so impressed that I recommended the Vax to my father and, having seen my carpets, he bought his own Vax 3 days later!
I am quite keen to find the time to clean my carpets again to see if I can improve on the first results - and cleaning carpets would not normally be my first choice of leisure activities.

The RAPIDE was quick and easy to use and gave a new lease of life to my carpets. They have beeen down 7 years and i have a dog. I have previousley steamed them but that only took away the top stain, this washer left them soft and deep cleaned.

Pleased with cleaning results.
Instructions for strength of cleaning fluids seems a bit confusing and had problems with water leaking from water tank.

(Posted on 30/08/2011)
A great little compact cleaning system, easily assembled ( comes in a box sort of flat packed) used on two lightly soiled and one very heavily soiled carpets ( I have a dog too!) with excellent results for such a small machine. Heavily soiled carpet took two attempts ( it hadn't been washed for sometime!) it takes all the main traffic through the bungalow and the system managed to bring it up nicely. All in all very satisfied with this product however if you are looking for something to clean soft funishings with this machine may not be for you because it does not include a tool kit; but it's a whizz on carpets it's light, has good manouverability and it's quick.

I was not quite sure what to expect from my new vax due to the fact that it is smaller and a lot cheaper than most cleaners on the market.I wasnt disappointed though as I found it really easy to assemble from the box and set up for the first time .
Filling the reservoir with water and cleaning fluid was easy as was snapping the tank back into place on the machine listening for a click to say it was in place correctly.Switching on the machine using the foot pedal was simple as was pressing the other pedal to lower the handle so as to achieve a comfortable postion a must as I am 6ft tall and dont want to be putting my back out cleaning my carpets.
The vax is light and very easy to push on the carpet and using the trigger on the handle to release the shampoo I find that it only releases a sensible amount and doesnt soak the carpet too much unlike other machines I,ve had before.Pulling the machine back towards me and I find that it hoovers up the excess and dirty water into the lower tank and you can see how dirty the carpet really is .You need to do this bit with noone watching.
So all in all a very light and easy to use machine that doesnt overwet the carpet .It is very reasonably priced and surprises at how well it performs compared with bigger and more expensive machines .
To be recommended.

I have used this twice, once on my living room carpet, and once on one of my bedroom carpets. Both times I have been very happy with the results....fantastic! I did have an old fashioned Hoover Carpet cleaner, with the two scrubbing brushes, which left the carpet very wet. It was my late mother`s, and was over 40years old!! What a difference this one is. I am very, very happy with it , and would recommend you to anyone.........

Since purchasing the Vax Rapide my wife has used it to shampoo most of the carpets in our house and she finds it cleans very well,even in places where the carpet had a few quite bad mark's on it.
She also find's it easy to empty and clean.

Just used my carpet cleaner for the first time and Iwas amazed at the ease of use and the amount of water it sucks back up. The machine was also very easy to dismantle. Very impressed indeed and look forward to using it in the very near future as I have a dog and they do create some mess especially on wet days.

Excellent product, lightweight & really easy to use. I have used it to clean my mom's carpet which was quite dirty and it almost looks like new now. The carpet is very clean and the machine didn't leave the carpet too wet afterwards either. I would recommend this machine to anyone who is looking for one. I have only used it once but at present, I have nothing negative to say about this machine at all.

I have been impressed by the design and quality of the machine and importantly have found it does a good job of cleaning carpets. A minor criticism is that the dirty water container has several tight corners that trap pieces of dirt and cannot be cleaned out.

A lovely little cleaner, easy to use and store. Excellent cleaning results, my carpets look and smell so much fresher.Light weight machine was essential as I have had spinal surgery recently and cant lift weights, but also upright position is ideal.Only down side was the lack of a stair attachment but I could have paid more for the next model up if it was really necessary.

It is the best buy I have made for a long time. The ease of using this carpet cleaner is astonishing and the results are fantastic.

I think the machine is wonderful, does a good job and is extremely easy to use. My only "complaint" if you can call it that is that it is very difficult to clean fluff out from the area where the water is drawn out of the carpet. I did obviously thoroughly hoover the carpet before using the vax but there is always going to be a certain amount of fluff. In the end it was a opened out paper clip and trying to flush it out with water but I still had a little fluff I just couldn't get to. Having said this I still think the machine overall is good.
Mrs H N Shearring

Excellent piece of equipment - I've had a Vax cleaner/washer for about 20 years which had finally given up the ghost so decided to go for two separate units and uprights this time, excellent value for money = don't know how I could have managed without them - The washer is so easy to bring out and just start using and the hoover performance is great - my carpets look like new again...

Rachel Slater
(Posted on 18/05/2011)
Easy to assemble, easy to use, not too heavy. Not put off by the noise - it's only doing its job!
It tends to freshen the carpets with a slight clean if you only go over the area once. For recent spillages, go over a few times & it is removed. For older stains might be more difficult and need to clean separately beforehand, then go over with the vax.
Overall I am fairly happy with this machine, paid

Utterly brilliant. We have a creamy/stone coloured carpet which had slowly got dirtier and dirtier over the years and the wife was really wishing we hadn't bought it. An opportunity arose to get this cleaner in the sale so we decided to give it a go. At first we didn't think it had done much but when the furniture was all moved back and the carpet had dried out fully we really couldn't believe our eyes. It was like a new carpet again. Amazing. My only gripe is the carpet fluff that gets into the entryway; it seems impossible to remove unless you can tell me something I'm missing? Otherwise, a fabulous cleaner.

i originally chose this particular cleaner due to it being one of the cheapest and although had read some reviews, thought would give it a try..However, as i have a large bungalow with carpets thoughout i should have gone for a much larger capacity type, wherein it holds much more water.. i am unfortunately continually having to fill up the tank.. Had a small probelm also at first with leaking tank but Vax immediately despatched a replacement which was good..So on reflection just wished i had returned it for a much larger model.. So my advice would be do your homework, look at the amount of water the cleaner holds first to see what is suitable to your size of home..if you`ve got a small flat then this would be perfect.

The rapide is an excellent cleaning product and a must for anyone with young children and light coloured carpets!
As a busy mum of 2 boys under 5 the last thing i need is to be scrubbing carpets on my hands and knees and the rapide has stopped me needing to do this.
My boys share a room with baby blue carpet and boys will be boys spilling things and squashing things into the carpet. The rapide cleans up the chocolate milk spills with ease. The washing machine with various cleaning agents often takes several washes to remove the chocolate milk from clothing yet the rapide removes it first time from the carpet!
Only thing i would change is the amount of cleaning agent provided could do with getting a larger bottle.
Overall an excellent product which I'm pleased to have invested in. I even convinced my dad to buy one!
Hope these comments help!

Rapide Spring Clean, works very well on the carpet and leaves it very fresh but it takes time to dry.

Thats why I am rating it 4/5 otherwise it would of been 5/5. Thank you

I was really pleased with the end results that were obtained after using the carpet cleaner and your cleaning products to go with it, so much so that I recomended it to other friends to purchase.Over a period of time Ihave tried many carpet clean products,Nowet cleaning system as advertised on qvc and also various cleaning products from the super markets, and none of them gave the success that was achieved with your products.My Grandson had unfortunately vomited onto the landing carpet, and I had tried many products to get rid of the staining with no success but with the first attempt with your cleaner 90% of the staining has gone, and I am sure thar with a further clean it will all have gone,as well I was so pleased of how dry the carpet was directly after cleaning. In the past I have hired carpet cleaners but was never as pleased as I am with yours.

I bought two VAX appliances, areplacement upright cleaner & a carpet cleaner.It was vital the upright was able to deal with shed cat hairs. NO PROBLEM. Our carpet is cream coloured, a mistake on my part. The carpet cleaner is tackling it in stages very well. Not able to do it all at once due to health problems, humping furniture around and all that. Its safe to say that we are both happy with the products, and look forward to a good few years of service.

Not really impressed with the way it cleans the carpet, it leaves lines because the brush does not move. I had to go over individual stains/marks afterwards as it did not remove them. I would say that it refreshes the carpet but does not deep clean it.

We are delighted with our carpet cleaner. It has transformed a thick white rug which is at least seventy years old! We are shampooing it each week and bit by bit it is becoming whiter and whiter!! A great joy! JM

Excellent machine very easy to use my carpets are commented on as looking like new. As a result two of our friends have puchased this machine on our reccomendation, how about a bottle of shampoo as a goodwill gift. Hopefully, sybil wingrove.

I bought the W91-RS-B-A Rapide Spring Clean in December 2010, In one of the rooms I have a cream carpet and have used the cleaner several times. It does a good job and leaves the carpet really clean. It is easy to use and is well worth the money. I would recommend the Vax Rapide to anyone.

An excellent machine at a very competitive price.Cleans well.Probably not as deep as the industrial types but it is so easy to use in the same way as a vacuum that we will clean the carpet more!
Only point make sure you give clearer instructions about the cleaning fluid mix to the tank.

I found this machine to be very good after my son had a party for his 17th birthday it was crashed with many more than expected, the house was a tip, we did not know where to start. But after borrowing the machine we had to use it three times to get up all the mud, it was amazing. I was warned about the water leaking when I turned the machine off I just stood it on a towel, great machine.

I have used Rug Doctor in the past, but this is expensive and time consuming collecting using and returning. So i bought a vax and what a difference, it cleaned great. After twice cleaning carpet it looked and felt great and if you get a little dirty spot just get the vax out and all clean again.

The machine does its job very well. It is good to have a machine of our own so that spills and dirt can be cleaned up as soon as they occur. In our house it would be convenient if the cable was 1 metre longer.

It may be a bit early to review this machine but I will put a few comments down.
I have used it a couple of times and it has cleaned the main areas that I have covered.
Initially I was looking to spend as little as possible but realise now it might well have been better to have bought one with a powered roller brush on the front as I think it would have taken up the water better.
With little instructions it was debatable how much cleaning liquid should be used. It appeared that the dirtier areas could have done with a stronger solution.
However all in all it does the job and has cleaned up our main carpet areas.

So far used once. in a small area to test, Results are good, it is easy to set up and use. When the weather improves i will do a seious clean, but first impressions are good
Mrs J Tait
(Posted on 03/12/2010)
This small carpet cleaner has produced a good result. Our carpet had unfortunately become very discoloured, very quickly in two separate places and the improvement with one use of the cleaner is marked. On areas where the carpet just needed a freshen up the result is noticeable.
There are one or two small irritations. The used water tank is awkward to fit and the slot through which dirty water is fed into the tank gets clogged with carpet fibes. It needs to be cleaned immediately after use whilst the fibres are wet as, if they are allowed to dry, it becomes difficult to dislodge them. It would be useful if a specialist cleaning tool was included with the product.
Also the clean water tank leaks from the top and must be kept very upright whilst filling and fitting.
However, the main criteria is whether the product does what it says and cleans carpets and I would rate this cleaner as 4/5.

My husband used the W91-RS-B-A Rapide Spring Clean on a large cream rug. He had to protect the wooden flooring underneath with ground sheets and found the machine quite easy to use. However, after the rug had been cleaned and allowed to dry we could see clean "stripes" where the water and cleaner had been applied to the rug and then sucked out of it. Hopefully the next few cleanings will eradicate this problem.

i thought this cleaner would not be very good due to its size and capacity, i was very much mistaken. the controls are very easy to use and i found that my carpet was a lot cleaner with this machine than with the bisell i had replaced. It is light and easy on the back to use not much effort was required on my part. i am hoping it will last quite a few years we shall ssee.

Very impressed with the carpet cleaner. I was so shocked at how much dirt came out of the carpet. The rapide spring clean was easy to use, very lightweight, very easy. I started 1 room and ended up doing more! Carpet looked like new - fresh and clean. Very happy with the Vax w91-rs-b-a rapide spring clean, I'd give it a 10 out 10.

Light weight and easy to manouvre. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats so dirty paw prints and the occasional accident were the main reason for purchasing this cleaner and it done the job first time, I didn't have to go over anywhere twice and the carpets were dry enough to walk on when I finished. Very easy to clean and every part is see through so you can see that it is cleaned thoroughly unlike my previous carpet cleaner by a different maker. Excellent value for money particularly as I got it half price when it was on promotion at Argos. Would recommend without hesitation.

I found the unit easy to use. the clean water tank could be improved by putting graduation marks on the side to make mixing easier. I measured out 1 litre and 2 litre marks with a marker pen. the carpet cleaned up well but was slightly wetter than I anticipated after use. but in warm weather it soon dried.

very easy to use light weight just like using a vacum cleaner.carpet was only slightly damp after cleaning and dried very quickly.my carpets were only lightly soiled but the vax brought out lots of dirt. overall I was pleased with it.I bought cleaning fluid with it which I thought was quite expensive.however on arriving home I found that the box contained a free sample of cleaning fluid inside this was nt apparent at the time of purchase.very good deal on the price at currys

it does a good job making carpets looking cleaner and fresher but not so good at getting stubborn stains out.it does hurt your hand after a while as you have to hold in the button while pushing the cleaner and the drying time for the carpets is only a couple of hours which is good.a good cleaner to use on fairly new carpets that you want to freshen up every so often id give this cleaner 8 out of 10 as it does do a good job

(Posted on 19/08/2010)
Hi ok for light stains and freshen up but no immediate problems when cleaning after use we had to unscrew the base plate so we could clean out the brushes but it was only 2 screw's so it did not take long overall it does what it say's on the box.

This is a very nice easy to use carpet cleaner. It did a fantastic job on our sitting room rug much better than a large cleaner we used to hire. It is so simple to use and clean, it is lightwieght and can apparently do upholstery so should be able to do stairs but have not tried yet. We bought this with a new Vax vaccuumn which we are equally delighted with as a pets pack and would highly recommend.

Found the machine extra easy to assemble & set up have used a much earlier model from the vax range but I found this machine to be much better,lighter & very easy to fill up & it glides accross the carpet collecting the dirty water,with a simple action.
The only thing I would add to this great bit of kit,would be better markings on the side of the bottle,so you could add the water and detergent quicker but it was not a big problem.
Overall very impressed & happy
Thankyou

I found that the W91 work as per the booklet provided.
The Rapide Spring Clean carpet cleaner offers great cleaning performance in a lightweight and easy to use package. The multi-row brushbar works with the cleaning solution to gently loosen and lift embedded dirt from carpet pile that dry vacuuming alone can't reach.
