Though not giant (the washer weighs 5.5kg), the Vax SpotWash Max Pet-Design is a bit chunkier than most spot washers that I’ve reviewed, such because the Vax SpotWash Dwelling Duo. That’s right down to a number of causes.

Efficiency

• SpinScrub device removes the trouble
• Very loud

I began with a dried mud stain on the carpet. Spraying the realm with fluid after which agitating it into the grime, I then began to suction out the fluid and stain. Instantly, I might see soiled water movement up via the clear hand device. After simply a few passes, the stain seemed significantly better.

In all I wanted three sprays of the realm, after which a couple of minutes of sucking up the mess to return the carpet to its former glory, which could be very spectacular. On the finish, I measured the carpet’s humidity at 26%, which is barely damp to the contact, but it surely wouldn’t take lengthy for it to completely dry.

Subsequent, I moved to the dry pink wine stain. Right here, I used the SpinScrub device, which made scrubbing the answer into the carpet a lot simpler than doing it by hand. I discovered that after the primary gradual pull again, the Vax SpotWash Max Pet-Design sucked plenty of the stain out, and I might see red-coloured water being sucked up.

It took one other couple of soakings and a bit of additional cleansing, however inside 5 minutes I had lifted the stain. My carpet measured 24% humidity on the finish of the clear, displaying that it was damp to the contact, however would dry quickly.

This spot washer could be very loud at 81.5dB. It’s not one thing that you simply’d wish to use late at evening, that’s for positive.

On the finish of cleansing, the tanks are simple to empty out and clear, and the hand instruments come aside for laundry. I really like the hose clear port. Add about an inch of fresh water into the tank, then flip the Vax SpotWash Max Pet-Design on and stick the hose into this port to wash out the hose.
