- In today's video I will be investigating if George or the Vax Platinum Power Max is the best vacuum for hard floors and carpets.
Living in the countryside with a dog and young children our hard kitchen floor is a nightmare to keep clean. Today's video ends a life long quest to find the perfect wet and dry vacuum to keep it clean. I will be putting Numatic's George and Vax's Platinum Power Max into a duel to see which vacuum works best on hard floors and carpets.

I'm a maintenance technician at a sports centre and have a lot of experience of repairing Numatic vacuum cleaners. I thought it would be worth mentioning how robust their kit is. Our staff are not gentle in their handling of our cleaners but they stand up to it very well. The big bonus for me is that parts are readily available, reasonably priced and the machines are very easy to dismantle and repair. No frills, just a solid and simple design well executed.
You simply cannot beat Numatic machines. Quiet, robust, effective, great value for money and made in the U.K.
Lesson learned.. Dont get a dog !
Bought one today on the basis of this review. I agree George is best I've had many hard floor cleaners. I recently wasted £350 on tineco steam c5 which is dreadful if you have pets. Despite Tineco, bissel and vax claims if you have pets you don't get a proper clean unless you vacuum first and eventually leak dirty water from back of machine and need to clean roller and underside of machine after every use. George has none of these problems. No need to vacuum first as sucks up everything, fur does not clog up machine. It is quite heavy though.
Never thought a wet and dry review would be so interesting to watch. Many Thanks.
I'm onto my second George first one was little used, I only have two settees, and stair carpet but the pump lasted no time at all, Too expensive to replace. Easier to buy a new machine, How ever I will say that my sister's Vax carpet brought my stair carpet up like new even after I had just previously cleaned it with George. Husband struggled to shampoo his car with George. My verdict is that George is OK and excellent vacuum but I will be buying a vax for my next Shampooing machine,
Placing my order now for a George. I have been searching high and low for reliable and consistently sound reviews. George is the one. Thank you for helping with my decision making ✨✨
Us George’s are the best 😊
I have had 3 vax PPP in 3 years, bought the first, other 2 were replaced under warranty,. The machine has fatal design flaws, including a belt tensioner that completely fails and is not replaceable. Great upright cleaning performance when it's working. Tiny water tanks. Best thing about the vax is the warranty process, they never seem to argue; I wonder why. Top tip.... Never use detergent to clean your carpets, the dry detergent acts as a glue which causes your carpets to become grubby 3 times quicker. Use bicarbonate soda instead.
I'm now waiting on my 5th vax to be collected for repair / replacement. Thank god for the 6yr warranty. Absolutely terrible design, too much stress placed on the motor due to the way the dual brush works. Also the clutch mechanism when you tilt it back fail as well (that's what's happened on my latest failure) . So far 3 burnt out motors and 2 clutch issues (the clutch issues mangle the inside of the machine). The hose attachment sometimes stops working as well for some reason (happened on everyone i had), had to remove and then reattach. Cleaning the machine after use is also a pain. I actually bought a bissell at the weekend which is superior to the vax in every way.
Another informative video, I like the fact Charlie goes into detail demonstrating the different solutions in real-life scenarios. George looks like the way to go for our specific environment. Great Job, thank you!
Probably the best all rounder I've come across...Excellent results with both carpet and hard floors...Excellent.
Excellent Charlie, clear thorough and honest, this was very informative !
Hi I have this Vax and used it for the first time last week and found it to be really good. It is rather heavy, but once your on the go it's ok. I plan to do our tiled kitchen floor shortly and hope it does the deed, though might give the steamer its first job. Thanks for putting a nice video together.
Hi Charlie, I can fully recommend George. We use one for the sole purpose of cleaning car interiors! We have had some shocking second hand cars to prep for our forecourt and the results we achieve are fantastic time and time again so much so that we have purchased one for the home. great professional review.

You missed a very important PRO for George, repairability.
Had my George for a very long time, fairly indestructable
We have a bissel carpet cleaner although we only have 3 out of eight rooms carpeted and don't use it often. It does a decent job when used. We have a cheap pull around vacuum for our laminate and tiled floors 👍👍
Many thanks for your time sir. You must be very passionate to arrange and produce this helpful video
