Vax Steam Fresh Power Plus | Above Floor Cleaning with Long Reach | Cariable Steam Control - S84-W7-P

Product Information

If you feel the need for additional cleaning power, there’s a steam boost button on the floor-head itself. We used this while cleaning carpets and found that it sent an extra jet of steam out of the front. The Vax comes with a small bottle of concentrated detergent, and you need only use a couple of capfuls (50ml) diluted in water. Despite its small size, the bottle is enough to fill the detergent tank five times over. The Vax Steam Fresh Power Plus is a decent multifunctional steam cleaner that’s let down by a few flaws. While hard floor and carpet cleaning is great, especially with the use of the detergent, it struggled to get rid of grime on wall surfaces. A light turns on to let you know the cleaner is in use, but that’s it for safety features. The storage tank can be accessed during use, although the lid isn’t external, so you have to remove it from the cleaner first. The outside casing gets very hot to the touch during use, including the handle which made could be uncomfortable during longer sessions. Cleaning performance

If you’re not wedded to an upright model, cylinder steam cleaners such as the Karcher SC3 and the great value Polti Vaporetto GO are also worth considering.

The Vax Steam Fresh Power Plus has impressive detergent-assisted cleaning power

It comes with just two tools: a precision tool that emits concentrated jet of steam for hard-to-reach and heavily soiled areas, and a soft-scrub brush with an attached scraper, which is great for cleaning cookers, hobs, sinks and taps.

We found the detergent to be quite smelly and overpowering, so only used it the once. It was effective at blotting out smells, but we felt the Vax’s cleaning performance was fine without it. You could use another brand of detergent if you preferred.The nozzle can be rotated in 90-degree increments, which was very useful when cleaning walls, just make sure not to rotate it towards your face, though. The Fresh Power Plus didn’t excel when put to the test against some dirty walls in our kitchen, seeming to not reach a high enough temperature to shift really stubborn stains, with less steam being produced than I’d hoped for. For floor cleaning you use the Vax’s triangular floor-head, which is a good size and shape for the job. It whizzed around hard floors well, with the higher of the two steam settings delivering plenty of cleaning power. This setup does make the Vax Steam Fresh Power Plus feel heavy in the hand, but it offers the advantage that you can use tools on the end of the lance to considerably extend your reach. You can also connect them directly to the handheld for compact cleaning. The thumb control makes it easy to change the level of steam, but when you release the trigger to stop cleanin, it takes a few seconds for the steam to stop. This means you have to be careful when changing accessories. Variable steam controls are accessed via a four-way thumb control on the handle. This gives you plenty of flexibility, with different power modes and you can choose if want to use detergent. All settings worked perfectly well when put to the test, with plenty of steam power even at the lower settings.
