Very easy to use, it works well on stains. The amount of water it holds is great. It is very easy to get rid of the dirty water, unlike the old round vax's that you had to unlock the lid and then pick it up to get rid of the dirty water, this one you just unclip the dirty water tank and empty it a lot easier to do.

I was surprised at how well it worked on a very well worn and frankly, quite dirty, child-beaten living room carpet. That is also the main through route from upstairs to kitchen and so was heavily downtrodden as well.
After use, the carpet was not particularly wet and was virtually bone dry the next morning.
Saved me the cost of a new carpet (well for a year or two)!
-
It is quite big and heavy and finding storage space in our small house was not easy. Its size and weight also meant I lost a few calories using it. That was good for my waistline, but may prove a bit challenging for an elderly or physically frail person.

It clogs up and parts of it are almost impossible to clean. Wet carpet pile is lifted and clings to the brushes; and when it is stopped the brushes each leave a line of dirt on the carpet you've just cleaned - a concentrated black line that the cleaner itself can't clean. Overall the product is poor.

A little bit heavy to move around when fully loaded with water, but you soon get used to it and I would recommend you do not move this machine as fast around the floor as a standard vacuum machine as it would not do such a good job.

It's surprisingly effective - better than anything we've hired in the past, and because it mixes in the detergent you can leave the detergent in the machine when you store it so just need to "add water" to use each time - very convenient.

After unpacking the VAX, it was very easy to put together, I did have one bolt that lost its' thread though and wouldn't connect to the screw it was supposed to.
Apart from that it has been very easy to use, I like the fact that I can vertually leave it ready for use - just fill the tank with warm water and then it is ready to go!!!
Also very easy to clean afterwards.
-
The water spray on the attachments for the upholstery is a little too wide, but that might just be for my furniture - I was using it on the arm of the sofa at the time.

The machine constantly sucks at the carpet, which then doesn't get wet enough (the solution can penetrate deep enough) requiring multiple passes. Would work better if suction could be turned off or diverted until carpet scrubed then applied to remove dirt. The small embossed panel to hide the screws doesn't stay stuck on.
