Carpet cleaners are often considered rental items from hardware stores like B&Q, but buying one might be more wallet-friendly than you'd first think. Vax, renowned for vacuum and carpet cleaning gear, has several models up its sleeve, including the SpinScrub Power Plus.
With a neat price tag of £249.99, it's an item to consider splurging on, but thanks to Amazon's spring sale, it's now slashed by £108.83. In what seems like a bargain hunter's delight, the cleaner is being dished out at £141.16 for a limited period.
Engineered with five rotating brushes, this cleaner takes on carpets from every possible angle, promising deep cleaning. And if that wasn't enough to tempt you, upon registration with Vax, it also boasts a six-year guarantee, reports Birmingham Live.
Consider a compact spot cleaner as an alternative for those short on space. On Shark's official site, the StainStriker Stain and Spot Cleaner is available for £120, reduced from £149.99. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, Curry's sells BISSELL's SpotClean Pet Pro for £149.
Rocketing in popularity, Vax's SpinScrub Power Plus is celebrating a 4.5-star satisfaction score on Amazon, hitting over 1,000 sales last month alone. A chuffed customer boasted: "Absolutely fantastic. It brings carpets up like new. It's easy to set up and use. The hose attachment is easy to use on stairs. It's really good value for money."
A third buyer enthused: " This is a really good, easy-to-use cleaner! Like all carpet cleaners, its a bit noisy but not unbearable! Simple to set up and changing the dirty water is also easy. All in all, a great cleaner."
Yet, another customer gave it three stars, remarking: "My carpet wasn't too dirty yet; it took me multiple attempts to clean it, but it doesn't look as clean as a professional clean; it's just good enough. My stairs were dirty, and the weight of the machine is a lot, while the hand tool is not powerful enough. Also, if stopped between cleans, the hand tool lost spray and had to be taken out and inserted multiple times for water pressure to come back."
A fourth shopper provided a lengthy critique, saying: "As someone who has a busy household with animals and lives in the countryside, maintaining clean carpets is always a challenge, but this machine has been an XL game-changer. I've had other carpet cleaners in the past, and constantly having to stop and refill the tank was a hassle. With this one, I can clean large areas in one go without needing to stop, which is a huge time-saver. The machine itself is easy to set up and use, albeit on the heavy side."
They continue: " The SpinScrub technology works wonders on stubborn stains and ground-in dirt. I was honestly shocked at how much dirt it pulled out of my carpets – dirt I didn't even know was there! After using it, my carpets looked noticeably brighter and fresher, almost like they were brand new again. One feature I absolutely love is the quick dry time. I was worried that I'd have to wait hours for the carpets to dry, but they were dry to the touch much faster than I expected. This is especially important for me since I have animals running around."
They added: "The 6-year guarantee gives me extra peace of mind. It's clear that Vax stands behind its product, and that level of confidence in a product is reassuring. I feel this machine is a solid investment that's going to last me a long time. The only downside, if I had to pick one, is that the machine is a bit on the heavier side. However, given the powerful cleaning it provides, I think that's a fair trade-off. Plus, the large wheels make it easy to manoeuvre, so it's not too cumbersome to use. I highly recommend giving Vax SpinScrub a try. It's been a fantastic addition to our home!"
