6151T 6151T

A great product that does all the advertising says and more. I purchased it to remove Amtico flooring dressing which turns to slush with the remover solution. It ate it up! I then used it to wash the floor and suck up the dirty solution several times, which it did really well. I then had to vacuum the carpets and was amazed at the strong suction and excellent results. I still have a Dyson and the results were better. On to carpet cleaning and again I was delighted with the results. Altogether the bungalow has 2,500- 3000 sq. ft. so I needed a lot of power and efficiency which I got in spades.

Assembly was pretty easy and the whole pack is robust. I liked the spin-scrub head which really got into the pile. It moves very easily, too.

My only criticism would be about the clipping of the clean water/solution tube on the outside of the suction hose. It is a bit clarty and comes off, particularly when emptying the dirty tank. Maybe a bit of simple redesign to include the tube securely inside the hose would help, with a small length at either end to plug into the cleaning head and machine body. Even more clips might solve it!

That is a minor problem with a super, robust multi-purpose machine which has been really excellent value for money - even more so with the deal I had when purchasing simply and easily direct from Vax.

I wholeheartedly recommend the machine to anyone needing great performance and value for money.

I have only used it as a vaccuum cleanaer so I can not comment on the spin scrub as yet.
The suction is great especially as I have 2 dogs great for the dog hairs. It has a nice long cable to reach to the top of the stairs the only down side is it doesn't have a slim nozzle for those hard to reach corners. And I would have preferred a cloth bag to the paper ones but these are only minor faults in my opinion otherwise I am really pleased with the vax.

Is great

My previous carpet cleaner was an upright Bissell Proheat Turbo machine. The machine worked very well initially before a number of things started to go wrong and in the end I couldn't use it because there was insufficient suction which left the carpet very wet and the water jets were very prone to clog up.

I decided to purchase the VAX 6151T machine mainly because of the simplicity in its design and the powerful motor which is necessary to generate a reasonable high suction.

I have used the VAX twice now and I am very happy with its performance. The only design feature I dislike is the foot operated water on and off switch. I find it difficult to operate with my foot and in the end I have to bend down to switch it by hand. It would be better if the switch was designed higher up and integrated into the pipe hand grip.
