Vacmaster VK609PFR 0201 6 Gallon 5.5 Peak HP 3-in-1 Wet/Dry/Upholstery Shampoo Vacuum Cleaner

4 cats. They mark. I'm 82. Most stand up shampooers are a chore to use and even worse to clean. The spot cleaners require bending over or siting on the floor. that's a problem for me now. I have been using this for a few days, getting old markings up. WONDERFUL. I spray carpet shampoo mixed with water in a spray bottle. leave for about 1/2 hr. Use clear water spray and vac on this. At night i use a blue lit to check. all gone. I did 5 spots in 1 hr, that includes soaking time.

The media could not be loaded. Great 2-n-1 floor cleaner & shop vacuum! The added hepa filter at the exhaust makes this my go to vacuum on construction cleanings. The trigger switches make it easier to turn on/off at a moments notice. Here I’ve applied a cleaner & am now rinsing & drying floors. Very easy to control, the long extensions keep you out of the area you’re trying to clean. Worth the money.

So I bought this to pair with my steamer to clean upholstery. Wasn't quite ready to spend over $1500 for an all in one unit that steams, vacs and shampoos, but at this point, i think I'm going to. I would have gave it 5 stars, but the sprayer has malfunctioned. It barely sprays. Initially, it was great; a nice spread of solution with decent pressure which allowed quick and easy saturation. Now it takes forever, and I've since resorted to using a spray bottle in its place. I've only used it like 3 times. Kind of a bummer, especially since its hard to find quality spray bottles. The spray nearly trickles out. When it works, there's a gap in the spread, meaning it sprays from the outer angles but nothing in the center. Trigger alert!! Kind of like the scene in ME, Myself and Irene, when he's peeing everywhere. I thought it was dirty so i tried to find something small enough to scrape the tiny nozzle. Can't even use a nylon bristle. Its a tiny little slot. Maybe i'll try and soak it in vinegar or something. Ant be mineral deposits because i use distilled water. When I shut off the pump, it continues to drip as well.On the other hand, the vacuum has great suction and does a good job extracting the solution. I wish there was a smaller version of the upholstery head, like maybe 2 or 3 inches, for tight spots, like around seat belt dispensers, visors and the support where the handles are next to the windshield. It's a good thing that the heads don't clip in. I thought at first it would be aggravating, but it works out, because you're able to rotate the head and adjust the positioning of the gun. Otherwise, it would suck since the handle is huge. Haven't had any problems with the remote buttons. At the beginning, they didn't work though. I had to take apart the circuit board and check connections and the battery before the first use. After that, it worked fine. The canister for solution is OK except that the cap doesn't screw close. You pop it on, which means it can just pop off too and waste solution, especially if the unit accidently falls over. Another bummer. It holds a gallon of solution which is nice. However, if I'm cleaning the interior ceiling of a vehicle plus everything else, I have to refill it.Overall, I'm making it work to get the job done. It's cleans well if you know what you're doing, and if you mix the solution just right. Don't use to much of your cleaning agent. You'll be there forever trying to get suck up the resulting foam that will linger in the fabric. Oh and if you don't know, do not attempt to spot clean with this unless you want a dirt ring hanging around. You'll need to clean whatever it is in its entirety, from end to end. This will prevent those nasty rings.

I am deeply disappointed with my recent purchase of the Vacmaster VK609PFR 0201 6 Gallon 5.5 Peak HP 3-in-1 Wet/Dry/Upholstery Shampoo Vacuum Cleaner. From the moment I received it, I encountered several significant problems that rendered it practically unusable.Firstly, the vacuum consistently fails to turn on correctly, causing frustration and inconvenience every time I attempt to use it. Additionally, the grips designed to secure the top part of the vacuum do not fit properly, resulting in an unstable structure that compromises its functionality.Moreover, the suction power of the vacuum is shockingly inadequate. Despite its advertised capabilities, it fails to clean effectively, leaving behind dirt and debris even after multiple attempts.Overall, my experience with this vacuum cleaner has been nothing short of disappointing. I had high hopes for a versatile and efficient cleaning solution, but instead, I received a faulty product that falls far short of its promises. I am deeply dissatisfied with both the quality of the product and the level of support provided by Amazon in addressing these issuesNot only did the Vacmaster VK609PFR 0201 6 Gallon 5.5 Peak HP 3-in-1 Vacuum Cleaner fail to meet expectations, but the customer service experience with Amazon was equally disappointing. Throughout my attempts to address the issues with the product, I encountered rude and unhelpful representatives who consistently closed the chat before any resolution could be reached. This lack of professionalism only added to the frustration of dealing with a malfunctioning product. Overall, the combination of poor product quality and unsatisfactory customer service has left me thoroughly dissatisfied with my experience.
