Vax 6131

Advantages: The apartment can now walk in white socks. The first five floor washes in the tank with waste water were scary to look in, now it's another matter.
Compared to other washing vacuum cleaners, it is very simple - a bucket on wheels, a drip tray and a motor. After use - rinsed and cleaned.

Disadvantages: It is necessary to buy an aqua-filter immediately (this thing is needed for the dry cleaning mode and replaces paper bags, the dust with its help is deposited in the water poured into the bottom tank). The ambush is that the entire range of VAX in any store is not present, so you have to look.
There is no reel for the wire. No buttons on the grip. In general, sometimes it seems that the vacuum cleaner was made for industrial applications - it is strong, not killed - but therefore the manufacturer didn’t think over the "baubles" and "trinkets".
Accessories and the unit itself take up quite a lot of space, so if you are cramped - do not take it, otherwise you will be upset.

Comment: To join the sect VAX-about-fans, it is enough once they walk around the seemingly "clean" room and then look into the bucket.

* UPDATE * After a couple of years of operation, a constructive problem has emerged - if you are too lazy to rinse the pump with shampoo with clean water after cleaning, it will stop and burn at some point. It is treated simply - on YouTube, find the video "VAX 6131 disassembly", take the cross-head screwdriver and the Allen key, and unwind the unit. A new pump, like other parts, in Moscow is being sold on the ground floor in [a Yandex moderator did not miss the name] on Prazhskaya metro station.

Advantages: The vacuum cleaner is essentially 3in1. Dry cleaning, washing and with aqua-filter (optional).
Good workmanship of all parts.
Adequate price. Vacuum cleaner time-tested, model 2004, like.
On sale there are inexpensive paper bags analogs, for example Menalux 6885p and Vesta filter VX 05.

Disadvantages: The power cord does not retract into the inside of the vacuum cleaner, but this does not bother me, because it can be rolled up over the top of the lid.
Large dimensions, but it is understandable, inside 4 liters of clean and 8 liters of dirty water fits.

Comment: When you first clean really surprised the amount of dirt collected by him.
After buying a separately sold aqua filter, it doesn’t need to buy replaceable bags, plus air cleaner. For allergy sufferers irreplaceable, there is no smell of dust after cleaning. Good suction power. Far from the noisiest vacuum cleaner, after cleaning for about two hours it does not annoy you with noise and does not hurt your head. Additional functions: collecting spilled liquid + clearing pipe blockages.

Advantages: 1. Good copes with wet cleaning.
2. Looks quite reliably, attempts to break down are not noticed.
3. Long cord. May be enough for several rooms.

Disadvantages: 1. A large brush for wet cleaning is not maneuverable, like a toothbrush from advertising "in hard-to-reach places" will not climb :)
2Mechanical overlapping of water when wet cleaning keeps unreliable - it is necessary to follow, otherwise the water will pour again.
It would be much better to control the pump and the buttons on the hose itself.
3. Dry cleaning, in my opinion, is not better than other vacuum cleaners.
4. Heavy, but easily rolls on a flat floor. However, cleaning the stairs with him is not a pleasant occupation.

Comment: Normal vacuum cleaner. I don’t regret seven thousand people donated for him, but I didn’t use other washing vacuum cleaners, there is nothing to compare with.

For those who are concerned about the lack of a mechanism
winder. The cord is wound on the upper part of the vacuum cleaner and snaps into place with a special bracket at the end of the cord. It is quite convenient and fast. And it is practical, since any winding mechanism will fail sooner or later.

Advantages: If you have a big apartment, have children or pets, or you are just terribly tired of moping the floors, it is better not to find this unit.
It's nice that VAX does all the dirty work for you - they can wash both tile, and linoleum, and laminate (less moisture than after regular washing), and carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture.
Takes out a lot of dirt !! Manually it would have to spend the whole day, with a vacuum cleaner - half an hour for everything about everything.

Disadvantages: Aqua-filter and Hydrodry attachment are not included in the kit - you need to buy it separately, but this is all you need if you want to clean dry without a bag and wash particularly dirty floors.

Takes up a lot of space.

Comment: The house is clean, husband and son are happy. If you get stuck and wash every day, you can release the child on the floor in white socks (briefly)

Advantages: Effective: after the weekly cleaning you understand that even if you only spend the night at home, there is still dirt. My Vaks collects a handful of hair and dust. Wet cleaning is also impressive.
Simple: bucket, two filters, motor.
Convenient: due to the simplicity of the design, it is enough to pour water into the toilet and rinse the bucket. In the case of wet cleaning, rinse the hose and hang to dry. Going is also simple. No need for body movements and pouring a defoamer with a syringe.
Cute: orange. :-)
Price: justified.

Disadvantages: Need to buy an aqua filter. Required. Despite the simplicity of the design, the aqua-filter stands as a quarter of a vacuum cleaner. Perhaps it makes sense to look at newer models of Vaks, there seems to be already an aqua-filter and a nozzle for cleaning floors.

Comment: Vacuum cleaner very happy. The noise from it, as from a conventional vacuum cleaner. Aqua-filter is simple and effective. Paper bags are lying on the balcony and used only once.

Yes, it is heavy. Because 8 liters of water weigh 8 kilograms. If you do dry cleaning, then of course it is easier. At the same time, I am not complaining about maneuverability. The wire does not really interfere, and I understand that the winding of the wire is a separate unreliable mechanism that takes up space.

The cleaning of a one-room apartment takes about 15 minutes from assembly to drying parts. Wet cleaning is more tedious, but it gives an idea of ​​the actual cleanliness of the carpets.

Advantages: I can not even say about my delight from this acquisition. VERY powerful !! It is very easy to clean, a large "basin" for clean water - 4 liters, a large one for dirty water - 8 liters. If suddenly there is not enough 4 liters for cleaning, you do not need to pour dirty, just pour clean, and already 8 liters is more than enough to wash a standard apartment. My parquet, nothing happens to him, because It dries the vacuum cleaner remarkably, wet it more with a rag and a mop. Very maneuverable despite the size. Perfectly cleans upholstered furniture and carpets. Very simple and convenient, to clean up after cleaning, you just need to rinse 2 buckets from under clean water (from the remnants of detergent and probably for dirty (VERY DIRTY !! did not even assume that such mud in the house) water and everything. None Zakutkov. As in Thomas. Spends 2 minutes.lay out to dry for nothing, no smell

Disadvantages: they are simply not there

Comment: The best thing about this vacuum cleaner is simplicity and reliability. Brother VAX has been around for 8 years and works like a beast. Buy, you will not regret, and you will understand, like me, what a truly clean house is

Advantages: This is one sheer virtue !! And it’s not at all true that it takes a long time to remodel it from dry cleaning for wet - a couple of minutes, but what is the result, I’m a smoking lady, I unfortunately smoke a lot and often, and after washing the floor with a vacuum cleaner - there’s a feeling that no one ever smoked !! A mystery, but a fact. It cleans so that it constantly visits the thought - how did we live before in such a mud? The result after each cleaning is amazing (do not think that we clean it once a year - 1-2 times a week dry and wet cleaning), despite the fact that we live together with my husband and we practically only spend the night at home.

Disadvantages: All noted, not to wind the cord, but against the background of all the advantages, this is nonsense, especially since it is wound perfectly on the case

Comment: Recomend for everybody!! I had the experience of using Thomas, it was enough to wash the vacuum cleaner itself after cleaning, but here I poured water from the bottom bucket, rinsed it all. In general, a fairy tale realized

Advantages: a large volume of capacity for clean water - 4 l., a decent range - from the room to the kitchen "reaches out" quietly

Disadvantages: the reverse side of the merits is overall,

Comment: Bought 2 days ago. Mastered the assembly and disassembly quickly. We watched the amount of dirt collected in one session. Buying while happy. There are several cats in the house - the wool is good, but the turbo brush had to be bought separately and the aqua-filter too.

Advantages: Excellent suction power, excellent dirt, dust and debris collection.

Disadvantages: There is no automatic winding of the cord and it is not at all convenient to attach the water supply hose ... but this is minor when you see the results of his work.

Comment: I bought it yesterday and the first cleaning showed me that I lived on the street — so much sand and dirt sucked this assistant ... and this is despite the fact that every day they used an old vacuum cleaner to a place that is now in a dump !!! Och is pleased and the wife is delighted . About the money spent and do not remember. Class !!! I did not expect.
