    Theses V2/Dual Vs always had the problems with the upper tank leaking and cracking underneath. The early ones were even worse with leaks.

    Someone took mine apart to clean it after use today and when we reassembled it, we had a piece left over with no indication in the manual where it should go. I'd never seen it before. OOPS! I tried various possible locations to no avail but now, thanks to your video, I've been able to see where it goes. Many thanks!!

    The Vax rapide spring I had many years ago, just started leaking, like water pouring put the back of the machine, after about 2 or 3 years of use. Then we had a Bissell Healthy Home Pet carpet washer and the motor burned out after 7 years, but the machine didn't leak, was literally just the motor that went. And we haven't bought another carpet washer due to what they cost. We just rented a Rug doctor in February this year, and it was really impressive, our carpets came up like brand new 👍

    Fascinating video Sam. I've used two different, slightly more modern, vax carpet cleaners and I've found both really difficult to clean the dirty water tanks. So frustrating, but both did a reasonable job cleaning the carpets.

    I’ve picked one today. Someone had dumped it by the roadside. All it needs is a cable.

    Hey Sam. I got to admit. Out of all my carpet cleaners this one was hands down the best one I ever had, I blew the motor, after using it and abusing it for years, with no issues at all It got battered in my house with the cats and the dog and it hit battered in everybody’s house as well, I bought the the vax platinum power plus to replace it , terrible machine the belt went on it, then I replaced it with the newer version of this the rapid power plus pro. The blue one on Vax website and the turbine blade inside the spin scrub turbine as cracked all the way along. So looking for a secondhand one of these I use mine twice a week and only use rug doctor shampoo, if you still have this and wanna flog it I’m interested very interested

      Hi Dave! I want rid of this now I've got the Tineco Carpet One Pro, got no space to keep it! Were you still interested? Don't want much money for it, and I think I've got a box big enough to post 👍

    I had this exact carpet cleaner and it was leaking the same but it started to leak so much it used to piss it down into the motor and it blew up and also my Brushes stopped working so I replace them and it chewed up the new set

      Dunno yet, it's refurbed and reassembled now but upon testing the motor spin apart... Not looked again yet! Their probably very similar though
