Pros & Cons
Pros
Vax steam cleaner produces copious amounts of steam. Steam pressure is really good with quicker than stated heat up time. Variable steam controller helps a lot.
Cons
Bedroom floors were left streaky. Nothing happens until the sealant overheats. As the unit gets hot the doors just fall down due to warping. Soap/limestone marks don't shift at all.
The 3 part extension ensures you cannot use it effectively. Use for 30 seconds. Very fiddly to use.
Poorly made, very plastic, plastic parts connect unreliable. I am thoroughly disappointed with this purchase.
It steams and makes a lot of noise ear splittingly so. If you go round weekly then the steamer hardly makes a difference. No detergent can be used with it.
This is now outside of 30 days and i am unable to return it. The unit is 2 years 2 months old ie 2 months outside warranty. Have requested a refund.
Highlights
Quality
Not a bad machine,could do with the extension tubes being more sturdy.
So far i'm very pleased with it.
Quality steamer by vax, no surprise there, which puts the shark to shame at half the price.
I am upset i did not find this product earlier.
Price
A powerful machine, great price , does everything it says and more
Packaging/appearance
Was especially good on a few small carpet stains.
So glad i didn't pay the full price and a woeful description and packaging by amazon haven't ruined my experience.
Competitiveness
We live in an area with very hard water, and no matter how hard you try, limescale builds up very quickly.

A little disappointed that the bristles on some of the head attachments have become misshapen after only a small amount of use

Then it becomes discoloured and although you know things are clean it still looks disgusting

But on the vax theres not even a thin view port for you to keep track

It shouldnt be too much of a problem for most people as it comes with its own jug to measure the water but should you lose this or need to use it for an extended time it could become an issue should it start to run dry

The item was described as really good condition but in fact was just about ok as so badly packaged in its original box that one item arrived broken
