Costumer Evaluations
The Vax 6131 looks a little old fashioned, but proves that the ideal designs are sometime the simplest
One particular quick word of tips, don't lose the instructions to this cleaner as there are various bits and bobs that go here and there that will want later referral to the instruction book.
Following the instructions the Vax is swift and quick to set up for both dry cleaning and wet cleaning, the cleaner is supplied with 3 especially substantial dust bags(10lrt) used for dry vacuuming that must last a fair whilst before replacing, however these bags cannot be reused but are low-priced to order VAX 6140 6131 6130 6120 Vacuum DUST BAG x 10 Pack (152).
The Vax is a quite strong vacuum, so substantially so that the dry cleaner head was pretty challenging to push about our carpet with no opening the little gate on the flexible pipe to release some of the suction, it did a pretty very good job of our carpets with just a dry vacuum and searching inside the dust bag, picked up lots of dust and dirt that our 'other' vac did not.
I set about swapping from dry clean to wet clean, once again following the directions and using the supplied cleaner fluid, then began cleaning our living space carpet, I was amazed at how considerably muck came out of the carpet, it was cleaned with a hired cleaner around a year ago so did not anticipate too significantly dirt to come out the carpet looks like new once more. The Vax cuts through the dirt, and left the carpet pretty dry, but we left the space for a couple of hours just before walking on the carpet which was still a tiny damp.
The tools supplied with the Vax look fairly sturdy, they are plastic(which is the norm) with two metal extension pipes from the flex pipe to the cleaner heads, this is a slight challenge as I kept getting pretty nasty static shocks from the cleaner when touching the plastic parts whilst using The cleaner is pretty quiet compared to other vacs I have made use of, it's 1300 watt motor is nicely balanced and does not get overly hot in utilized and getting only 1300watt is power saving compared to vacs with larger motors, there is a lot of cable with the cleaner, on on/off switch and pump switch are push on/off varieties that function nicely and are sealed.
I do have a few criticisms with this cleaner, the first 1 becoming the plastic clips in between the motor and the dirt cannister, they look quite fragile and with time could snap. The other getting the flexible pipe could be a little longer, specially when cleaning stairs also the castors on the Vax are not removable, and the static discharge challenge. The Vax can be a tiny cumbersome to drag around, so using as an 'everyday' cleaner could be a difficulty, as opposed to an upright cleaner, having said that it is fairly lightweight for a cleaner of this size.
Supplied with the Vax are, normal dry cleaning head with carpet/lino setting, crevice tool, little cleaning brush, wet cleaning head, upholstery cleaning attachment, flexible hose, two metal hose extensions, cleaner fluid delivery pipe, 1ltr Vax cleaner fluid, 3 dust bags, directions.
Overall this Vax is a fine get and comes with a 2 year guarantee, it beats hiring cleaning equipment that is old and temperamental and will pay for itself soon after a couple of uses, just make confident you have some superior rubber soles on your shoes and some rubber gloves on
four stars.
The Vax 6131T 3-in-1 MultiVax has two main utilizes as far as I am concerned. As a vacuum cleaner it is rather valuable with a really potent suction. It moves quickly over laminated flooring and carpeting and I guarantee you won't think how considerably dirt it picks up - but so does any wonderful vacuum cleaner! So let's get to the nitty-gritty!
Switching the Vax to a carpet cleaner is uncomplicated. Follow the directions and you're soon ready to give new life into the carpeting and furnishings! You have to set a suitable period of time aside and make certain the location you are going to clean is no cost from furniture, etc. Image the area you want to clean, possibly a metre square and work on that area, working back and forth. The quantity of grey debris which is drawn out is unbelievable and wait till you empty the container, you won't believe how much dirt has been extracted. The Vax honestly gets down to the root of the pile and shifts the dirt out bringing the carpet up as really good as new. You have to operate on the carpet by pacing yourself and you will appreciate the reward at the finish. I also used the Vax on my twin sofas and was pretty impressed on how they had been freshened up - nonetheless, I had to wait for them to dry ahead of I could use them again.
If you have a spill on the carpet then I wouldn't personally recommend setting up the Vax for that cleaning but when you have significantly more time, work on the carpet and any trace of the spill really should soon disappear. There are lots of cleaning liquids on the market place to clear up incidental spills.
In some respects, the Vax can seem to be cumbersome but any hired carpet cleaner would be the same. From this point of view, storage of the Vax can be a situation in particular if it is not made use of as a vacuum cleaner. These are just tiny niggly points I wanted to make to be fair. For me, I already have an remarkable vacuum cleaner, so the Vax goes back in its box and is stored in my airing cupboard. Out of the way, but not forgotten as it will be a Godsend at spring and autumn time when I freshen up all the carpets in my property.
Cost? Nicely, thanks to Amazon, it is Great value and so I would advise the Vax to every person who has carpeting!
