Vacmaster VK809PWR 0201 8 Gallon 5.5 Peak HP Wet/Dry/Upholstery Shampoo Vacuum Cleaner

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.

It's a real good vacuum it's motor is quite powerfull making it's suction power superb. Using it for a few months there are just a few positive and negative. Positive: 8 gallon size is just right not too bulky and not too small. Powerful motor, and so suction is great! Various attachments makes it ideal. Built is very durable, can take rigorous use without breaking. Negative: The wet vacuum aspect needs a tiny 9 volt battery sparete from the supplied power, when it goes dead or the first time you have to remember that's it's there otherwise you might want to return it saying it stopped working. The hose that carries the chemicals to spray breaks easily, so right now that feature is not working for me. The drain plug is way above the base, so it's almost impossible to drain all the water after sucking up liquid.

DONT BUY!!! Broken motor or something right out of the box.. bought it to clean my couch because my dog peed on it and figured I could use it on the rug too so I got this model. The detergent part worked and was squirting out detergent all over my sofa but would not suck up with the vacuum part push the button did all the troubleshooting took the whole thing apart as suggested obviously nothing was clogged because I never even got to use the thing so there was nothing to clog it with. Apparently the shampooing part liquid part is separate entity so that part can work while the vacuum motor still doesn’t work so now I have to box this entire thing back up bring it back to UPS and my couch is soaking wet because of all the fluid that went all over the couch to clean it, but now there’s nothing to suck it up with.

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.

This vacuum is absolutely awesome!

Funciona mejor de lo que pensaba, fácil de usar. Me encanta como deja los muebles

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.

My carpets turned out alright. The suction is amazing on this vacuum. It is probably one of the best carpet cleaning vacuums by far that I have used even compared to the big name brands.
