Vax SpotWash Home Duo Carpet & Furniture Spot Cleaner CDSW-MPXP

I had a previous bad experience with VAX when I purchased their then top-of-the-range carpet cleaner. The machine itself was disappointing, and the customer service was equally poor. It was one of my worst purchases ever. Long story short was the new improved design with scrubbers did not work with wool carpets, simply ripped them to shreds, post-purchase, and too late, I noted that others had experienced the exact same problem. I would assume that VAX test their products on various carpets so would have know that it was unsuitable for such carpets, but they did not state that, and worse, they denied there was even a problem. It was such a negative experience from start to finish that I vowed never to buy a VAX product again However, I recently had a lapse in judgement and decided to do some painting without protecting the carpet. Predictably, this didn’t end well. To make matters worse, my attempt to clean up the paint spills with soap and water only made the situation more disastrous. In the past, I’ve had good results hiring a Rug Doctor, but the hassle of renting one didn’t feel worth it this time for just a specific area. Instead, I decided to research carpet spot cleaners and was surprised to find VAX consistently ranked as the best option. While I initially considered the cordless model, I ultimately opted for the plug-in version, reasoning that it would likely have more power. For me, effective results matter more than convenience when it comes to carpet cleaning. Even though I generally prefer Kärcher products, I decided to give VAX another chance based on the strong reviews. My SpotWash Home Duo arrived three days after the paint spill, and I put it to work the following morning. Despite its simple design, the results were impressive—the paint stains vanished completely, earning it full marks from me. The SpotWash Home Duo has a compact design, which makes it easier to store. While it’s a bit annoying that only two of the accessories can be attached to the machine for storage, this is a minor issue. I found that the left over accessories can be stored in the waste water container. The machine is not quiet, the hose is sufficiently long enough for easy use, and the power cable is a decent length, so will need an extension cord less often. Releasing the clean and dirty fluid containers very easy. The attachments provided are versatile and should prove useful for various tasks, although I expect it will be less frequently used on hard floors, as spills on these surfaces are generally easier to clean. Compared to larger carpet cleaners I’ve borrowed, hired, or owned in the past which, and when owned, often spend most of the time taking up cupboard space - this spot cleaner is a much more practical choice. It is going to be particularly handy for tackling spills on carpets and cleaning the car. One thing to note is that the cleaned area remains damp when finished—more so than when using a full-sized carpet cleaner, this is confirmed when comparing the amount of cleaning fluid used and the amount of dirty fluid collected. Note that this machine is specifically designed for spot cleaning, not large areas, this needs to be appreciated to avoid disappointment. I did try cleaning a flight of carpeted stairs and although it cleaned, it took four refills and I had only managed six steps. There are different models with smaller capacity, I personally wouldn't want any with less fluid, it is just about right. The crevice tool is very useful, especially good for the stair carpets that have accumulated dirt along the edges. Overall, my first impressions are very positive. The SpotWash Home Duo is compact, effective, and value for money. It’s surprisingly good at removing dirt, even though the process is simple: it sprays detergent, agitates the fabric, and then sucks it up. For now, I’m pleased to say this purchase feels like a winner.

Vax SpotWash Home spot, splash, pets, wet vacuum unit. This unit is ideal for those oops wet or dry spills that a larger wet vacuum cleaner would be inconvenient. This vax unit is very good quality, small, portable, fits in closet, cupboard, under stairs and can be easily reached for to do the tidy up... washed, dried returned. The tank has 1100ml (1.1 litre) capacity with suction to vacuum any household spills. I find this most useful in cleaning areas (specific locations) where my dogs each have to chew, knaw, or eat treats. As they take time to chew the treats from the rubber-esque toys... there are crumbs. Crumbs are easily removed with daily vacuum cleaning but not thewet onrs. Also the ones with dye in chew items, to dry dog food with sloppy tongues. Mine do occasionally have an oui oui accident. Paper trained, but if one is on the pads, well they do not like to go at the same time. So I get an urgent had to go spot on the carpet. The whirling brush with vax carpet shampoo has it removed very quickly due to great suction and it is properly clean with no smell lingering. It is then a simple empty, flush, rinse out of holding tank, and a quick wash of whirling scrubby brush. I also rinse out the hose. When dry, I reassemble and tuck away until the next usage. I have also used this unit in my cars. Scrubbing muddy carpet spots through to a motion upchuck by one of my dogs or a wee small person - toddler. Pomeranian size dogs, so not much upper chucky but again this vax was/is the perfect size to clean spot and surrounding area. I like this size vax so much and find it so extremely convenient, I purchased a second unit just to keep in our summer house. I highly recommend this unit for it's excellent quality, value for money, and power suction in a very compact model.

We have had this for a few weeks now and have used it quite successfully on a few items. First things first, this is very much a cleaner for smaller sized areas and is not a substitute for one one of the bigger carpet cleaners. I've used it on the rubber backed rug/mat that sits just inside our porch, best described as a slightly larger door mat. It performed very well and by the time i'd given it a couple of going over with the machine, I had full colour restored. We are a family of 3 adults and 2 dogs, this mat is the first line in defense when entering the house and takes the brunt of the bad weather that you bring in on your shoes. I did have to do the mat twice, but that's more likely down to me being conservative with the amount of solution I sprayed out rather than anything to do with the machine. The next area I tackled was a living room rug which is various shades of grays and light blues, and is almost white in places. This is where the dogs like to scratch their back and is dead centre of the room, so it takes a bit of a pounding traffic wise. It's a much larger rug and had more pile than the porch mat. Again, it took a couple of full tanks to get the rug looking almost like new again but I was impressed and somewhat embarrassed at how much dirt lay within the rug. We do hoover most days but the pile in the rug certainly hides a lot of dust and dirt The machine worked so well on the small spot test I did I had no option than to do the whole rug as it left a very obvious clean spot! *Warning - this section contains reference to a poorly dog* The next test was a beige bedroom carpet, on a morning after a poorly dog had vomited on the carpet during the night. This is exactly what the machine is designed for I feel. The accident happened around 3am so it was a case of mop up the liquidy mess with some towels as best we could, use some hot water and loads of Febreze on it and settle for the machine clean in the morning. The problem with that type of clean-up is all you're really doing is diluting what was deposited on the carpet. Without the means to remove it, then you're effectively only applying a sticking plaster, so to speak The dog required the vets first thing, it had (best guess) eaten a snail or slug in the garden and this was the cause of the sickness. So, later than I expected I tackled the obvious staining from the night before. The machine cleaned it up no problem, the yellow green mess that was still showing in the carpet was gone entirely after a cleaning session with the Vax. I gave it two goes just for the sake of it but one would have been sufficient. So, the pro's and cons PRO The machine is not too heavy Hoses flex easily meaning you’re able to get into small tight spots with ease The suction is strong and you can see the contaminated liquid getting lifted straight away It feels 'right' in your hand, the trigger sits at just the right spot CONS The size of both the output and intake containers are very small (for a big spill you will go through a couple of runs on the output solution, I also had a basin beside me so I could empty the waste water rather than keep going back and forward to the sink) Bigger containers would obviously add to the weight, but it would save you getting up and down as often when you're cleaning a spill. The cost of the cleaning solution I feel is expensive. As an engineer, I do not believe one type of cleaner will have any detrimental effect on the machine over another, so for me I bought a 5L drum of carpet cleaner for a fraction of the cost of the Vax solution and it works perfectly, and smells better than the Vax liquid. For occasional use I'm very happy with the product. I have in the main wooden floors with a few rugs spread around. If I had a home entirely carpeted and was looking for a Vax, then I'd be aiming for a more substantial machine than this, if for nothing else than to save having to refill and empty the machine as often. But for what it's designed to do I’m more than pleased with the results and it also tackles spills with ease Oh…I meant to add, the dog is fine and we’ve had no repeats

Great little cleaner for the car seats .

Magic Cleaner ! Is doing a grate job ! I like that is very compact , easy to use . What I don’t like is that I buy the medium tank not the big one and is filling up very fast with dirt water. Other than this…really like it !

Owned this for over a year now. Had no machine issues other than if it topples over all the waste liquid does come out so be mindful if working on area while moving around.

Bought this to clean the couch and it was really good. Easy to use instructions and comes with a cleaning product that was also very good. Different nozzles as well for smaller spots. I can see family members borrowing it definitely

​A word of **warning** if you do choose this spotwash - you HAVE to register your warrenty with vax on their website in order for them to honour it, on ours the hose split and it leaked if tilted slightly. It is 100% necessary that you register for the warrenty, but in all honesty i would go with another product over this one if i had the choice again. I bought this Vax Spotwash in 2024 and initially, I was in love with it. As a parent of two, it was a lifesaver for quick clean-ups. The suction and cleaning results were 5-star quality, right up until the point it became unusable. ​As you can see in my video & photo, the hose split completely from the handle/brush attachment. This happened after roughly 8 -10 uses. Once that seal is broken, you lose most of the suction power. I wasn't rough with it; it simply seems to be a weak point where the plastic coil meets the rigid attachment. ​I ended up returning this to Amazon because, for an £80 machine, I expected it to last longer than a few months of light use. If you do buy one, please be extremely careful not to pull or overstretch the hose, as it doesn't seem durable enough to handle much tension. I was lucky that amazon did rectify the issue with me, although it wasn't without issues! I did look for a replacement hose because like I said, I loved the product before it failed, it was so easy to get out, set up and use and it had great power initially. And as a bonus its not huge so fits snug under the sink. I didn't manage to find any replacement parts anywhere, it was such a shame.

I have a new puppy and cleaning up muddy paw prints, bone drool, accidents and other things has been a breeze. I should have bought one of these YEARS ago! Its hard on your wrists after a while so its really just for spots and not large areas. This has a UK plug end, so you will need an adapter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Ik heb 1 en 15 dagen geleden zo'n ene vlekkenreiniger gekocht maar ik nog steeds niks ontvangen geen bericht geen code gewoon niks.

Useless no suction

Tolles Teil. Endlich ist meine Couch wieder sauber.
