Vacmaster VK809PWR 0201 8 Gal 5.5 PHP 3-in-1 Wet/Dry/Upholstery Shampoo Vac

I like this carpet cleaner! I have been looking for a canister style carpet cleaner for a while and had a very bad ecperience with a similar style from shop-vac brand, so i returned that and purchased this one. it promptly cleaned up the mess the other one made It feels much more robust than its competitor. The clean water line is integral to the vac tube so it wont get snagged on things. The back wheels are very big and the front ones swivel so its easy to pull around. The hose attaches with a threaded coupling so you wont accidentally yank the hose off. The clean water hose has secure clips at every junction that will click into place to prevent leaks. The remote handle is a very convienient feature so you dont have to keep returning to the base to turn on and off the sprayer or vac, you can just press the buttons on the handle. The vac and spray functions work independently. The upholstry shampoo head on the wand has some stiff bristles that really help get stains up. And the head opens up for easy unclogging and cleaning. The wider carpet and floor attachment has a removable brush and squeegee to switch from carpet to hardfloors. The dry floor attachment has a carpet and bare floor mode as well, lowering stiff statonary bristles. It doesnt weigh much when empty, but plan your end point to be near a tub, toilet, drain or outdoors so you dont have to lift it too drain. The spray function sprays really well compated to others. The suction is really good, leaving the carpet barely damp and it dried by morning. Swapping from wet to dry is fairly easy, just empty the contents and let it dry or wipe it out, and put the appropriate filter in, either foam for wet, or cartridge and bag for dry. Its a semi-loud machine, so it may scare your cats or dogs, but most carpet cleaners are, so that wasnt an issue for me. It has a wire rack to store the tube in, but the onboard extension wand storage is only available on the 6 gallon, not the 8, because of the different wheel placement. It cleaned up months old cat vomit stains in just a few passes with some zep, i have not tried the solution it comes with but it did smell mild and not overpowering when i sniffed it. Only use low foaming cleaning solutions as with most carpet cleaners. Remember to rinse out your attachments and hoses and leave the tube port open for the machine to dry all the way if you want to avoid any smells. Both the wet and dry filters are washable, let the dry one dry all the way before re-installing Overall a good experience. I would reccommend this product to anyone with carpets, pets, cars, or kids. Cleva north america is vacmasters parent company, they also make the amorall and kenmore carpet cleaners. *if youre comparison shopping and considering the "shop-vac" brand, save yourself the hassle and get the vacmaster one. The shopvac brand version shot clean water out of the motor housing exaust port all over the place which im pretty sure is a electrocution hazard but also rendered the carpet cleaning function inoperable.

I give this extractor 5 stars not for its build quality, not for its design or features. I give it 5 stars because it gets the job done for a fraction of the price of the pro extractors. I have purchased 3 of these vacmasters extractors. The first one I bought was about 7 years ago and it had a better design and build quality than these new models. The new are not as good as the first model. I don't like the battery powered remote. The water pump that spray the water out is not as strong as the first model and the spray nozzle are very cheap and placed in the wrong spot. The handle is bulky and not that easy to maneuver. It's definitely cheaply made however. It has a strong suction motor. The vacuum works like a champ it has a ton of attachments that allow you to do sofas and house carpes. But like I said the 5 star is because it gets the job done and it cost less that 20% of a professional extractor. I have purchased 3 of them in the past 7 years. I used them every day vigorously. If you keep the filters in and cleaned the motor will last for years. I just bought my third one and I'm waiting on it's arrival. The second just stopped working about 4 days ago. When I say stopped working I mean the motor stopped powering on it could just be a switch but they are so cheap and I have used it for 3 or 4 years I'm not going to waste a second trying to fix it. They are cheap but they look good to the customers. When the customer ask do I have an extractor to shampoo seats I say yes of course. Not a single customer complained.

Excellent product, robust, made of durable plastic, and has good suction power. The long cord allows you to work comfortably in large rooms.

I have it, and hate it. I'm a mobile detailer so shampooing seats is something I offer in my higher packages. Pros: - good suction - long power cord (like 20') - large capacity Cons: - HORRIBLE construction. No matter how many times I tinkered with the large wheels and adjusted clips and washers, they fell off every single time I used it. - The clips that hold the top to the body and tank together are very weak and unclip very easily if carrying it from the top handle. I've had it unclip at least 15 times and twice it's come completely off and splashed forbidden chocolate milk into my mouth 🤢🤮 - the signal on the remote head is very weak so often times I have to put my hand outside the vehicle while holding it to turn it on and off - the water sprayer leaks like crazy so you'll shut the water off and it'll keep dripping unless you constantly shake it off - my sprayer piece already broke off so water just falls out of the head if I try and use it. So now I have to carry a 2-gallon pump sprayer of DI water with me to rinse and extract with. Mind you, I bought this last December and MAYBE used it 10 times and the thing is basically totalled and is just a glorified wet/dry vac at this point. Detailers: you're better off buying a RIGID vac and doing the extractor mod to it. Save your money.

I use this product primarily in my shop as a vacuum and it works well. I like that users have the option of installing a vacuum bag which helps control the shop dust. We decided to try out the carpet shampoo feature and had a few problems with the unit: the attachments leaked and had a tendency to separate, often creating a mess. Also, after applying the shampoo and distilled water Then sucking it up with the vacuum we wanted to see how dirty the water was inside the vacuum. Well, there was no water inside the vacuum. We had to laugh when we realized all 3/4 gallon of the liquid was still in the carpet.

Works great

Not very happy with this new design. I had the old design and I think it was better. I do not like the new head. The flexibility is poor at best. Suction is fine. Design is terrible. The button location for suction and water is in a terrible spot and intermittently works. Very disappointing.

حلو استخدامه

Lava muy bien, un poco ruidoso pero muy efectivo, la humedad que deja se va aproximadamente en unas 6-10 horas

Hard to find a carpet extractor of this style at a reasonable price. Well made vacuum, great for commercial / residential use.

I don’t have anything negative to say about this product. I haven’t tried the carpet cleaner yet but the vacuum is fantastic! The only problem I encountered was trying to find the proper dry bags but the company directed me to the proper generic replacements.

Sin duda, de las mejores compras que he hecho.
