Bought one of these after using a relative's 5 year old Vax washer. How technology has moved along, this unit is just fantastic!
With 2.5 year old twins ensuring that recurring juice, milk, milkshake, biscuits, cake and other random substances end up on the carpet it was time to invest in a good carpet washer.
This unit is great, took only 5 minutes to set up and put the hose, cable tidy clip in place and fill up with some warm water and cleaning solution.
The unit is loud and heavy (feels build to last and the 6 year warranty means Vax are confident in the build quality too), make no mistake! The suction is awesome, and the carpet is nearly dry when you're done - no more damp feet as you'd get with older models.
Now the tricky bit was always getting the fluff and hairs out of the nooks and crannies in the various plastic parts when you're done - not so with this model, the water reservoir and dirty water tank empty and clean effortlessly, and the main inlet where the dirty water is sucked in just needs to be run under a fast running tap to remove any debris. The longest time was taken in getting the fluff out of the scrubbing brushes - fill a sink and swoosh it about - there will be some plucking involved to get them 100% clean.
The unit comes with a second set of brushes for a hard floor, along with a squeegie attachment and hard small bottle of hard floor cleaner for the same application, and the hand held tool makes it great for cleaning the carpets in the car and household stairs - though the hose struggles to reach to the top and the unit is too large to perch on a step as you stretch to the higher steps.
Just remember to order some Ultra cleaning (carpet or hard floor) fluid when you order the unit - the supplied small bottles don't last too long!
Great product - great price September 9, 2008

I won't repeat most of what's said here but will add a couple of my own extra bits.
Firstly weight, people mention this a bit, the actual machine is not that heavy when empty, nothing more than a big upright vacuum. The weight comes once its loaded up with water, which is kind of unavoidable, a smaller tank would be a pain as you'd be refilling every feww mins. It is quite heavy when loaded up but nicely balanced and quite nimble on its wheels.
The hand held attachements are good quality, the upholstery one does spray a bit so you need to get used to its range. I also find that anything that need squeezing to release the cleaning stuff (also a steam cleaner) makes my hand and forearms hurt after a while (I'm not some athritic OAP either), maybe just me but bear in mind if you intend to use for upholstery/stairs a lot as could be an issue.
In upright carpet cleaning mode machine is a breeze to use and does a brilliant job, couldn't be happier with it as results are great. The buckets of black gunk you throw away are real eye openers.
Dry time for me in muggy sept weather was about 5-6 hours on a very thick pile carpet.
Amazon price is pretty good as well. 5 stars all the way.
What About Hard Floors? August 19, 2008

Have any of you owners tried your machine on hard floors? I emailed Vax and they say it's suitable, but I have a large slate floor which is naturally uneven. I'm a bit worried the machine won't be up to it, though it seems great from the reviews generally, and the carpet washing sounds popular! I just want to get the right tool...not sure whether to go for one of these or a scrubber-drier (more of a commercial thing?)
Excellent carpet washer August 14, 2008

For many years, the only carpet washer I had was a Henry, one of those monsters with the face painted on the front. It was so messy to use and never seemed to get the carpet clean anyway, I eventually threw it out in disgust.
I bought the Vax V-125 really just hoping it would just be a better cleaner but it was far more than that. I was thrilled with its performance, the carpets looked brand new after cleaning and the machine (once I had read the instructions!) was far easier to use with no mess. I thoroughly recommend this machine combined with the solution recommended by Vax - Vax Ultra, the solution is expensive but well worth the outlay.
Worth every penny!!!! July 17, 2008

I have had this machine about 3 months and have used all over the house with really pleasing results. I have had my carpets cleaned by professionals and I have used the one you can rent from Johnsons and B&Q and was very sceptical about investing in my own carpet cleaner, but this is as good if not better than the other cleaning alternatives i have tried.
It is easy to set up so I can just drag it out of the cupboard for little accidents in a jiffy, the cleaning results are impressive and the carpets smell lovely and fresh afterwards. I lent my machine to a friend who had got chimney soot all over her 3 day old cream carpet......it has left a feint mark in 1 area but has removed the rest.........she is so impressed she will be investing in a machine in the near future.
On the downside it is a heavy machine..........but no where near as heavy as the ones you can hire.....overall for my first owned carpet cleaner I am over the moon with it.
