We Love Clean

It was 30 years ago in 1979 that the first Vax multi-function cleaner rolled off the production line, starting a revolution in home carpet cleaning. This machine was the first domestic vacuum cleaner in the world that also washed carpets and that people could easily use in their own home.

30 years later the Vax multi-function cleaner is still the favourite choice in many homes, because of its unique flexibility to wash carpets, suck up spills and dry vacuum carpets or hard floors – all in one easy-to-use, large capacity machine.

To celebrate its 30-year history as the UK’s favourite floorcare brand, Vax has just launched a limited edition family of ‘30^th Anniversary’ carpet cleaners and vacuum cleaners, which includes the latest version of the iconic 6131 multi-function machine.

All the products in this collection have an introductory price of 30-50% below the RRP, which gives shoppers something to celebrate too. They also look pretty smart, as they have a special edition colour scheme of graphite and original Vax orange, which really sets them apart from previous Vax ranges.

At the top of the vacuum cleaner range is the VZL-6017AN Mach 7. This bagless upright has WindTunnel technology that traps the dust and dirt more effectively as you clean, for excellent dust pick-up. It also uses multi-cyclonic suction power, which means that dust collects in the container, not the filter, so its filters don’t get blocked and it doesn’t lose suction. This means there’s no drop in performance, even as the dirt container fills up. The Mach 7 is a good all round the home cleaner, as it can be used on either carpets or hard floors, plus it has an extra long stretch hose so you can clean right to the top of your staircase without having to move the machine. With washable HEPA filters and no bags, you won’t need to spend money on replacements either, and as it has 6-year guarantee you can be sure that you’re covered should anything go wrong.

There are five other vacuum cleaners in the Anniversary range, including four from the Power range, which was first added to Vax’s line-up in January of this year, plus the G:2 Pet cylinder vacuum cleaner. Three of these are ‘Pet’ models, which means they have anti-bacterial HEPA filters and an air-driven TurboTool that is specially designed to lift pet hairs off carpets and upholstery, and can be also used to great effect on stairs. A TurboTool is also included on the Mach 7.

There are two upright carpet cleaners in this new range – the Rapide Spring Clean, which is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, and the Rapide PowerJet Pet, which has larger capacity tanks and uses ‘PowerJet’ technology to give a really thorough deep clean. PowerJet works by pumping jets of cleaning solution into the fibres. The brushes works with the solution to lift dirt and stains from the carpet, which is then sucked back up into the dirty water tank.

They are as easy to use as a regular dry vacuum cleaner so are a really good way of getting carpets looking new again, without the hassle and expense of replacing them or getting in professional carpet cleaners.

You’ll be amazed at how much fresher your carpets will look, smell and even feel, as the suction action of the carpet cleaner lifts the carpet pile and removes trapped dirt to makes it feel softer and springy again.
