Vax Rapide Classic Carpet Washer. Any one have one?

Question

Do you have to put it together? How bigs the box? As I'm thinking of buying one, but i live in a small place so wondering is it small and easy to store?

Answer 1

I have just bought a Vax Rapide Deluxe from Homebase and assembled it using a philips screwdriver.  The box was not too big for me to carry to my car and fits easily on the back seat of a Polo.  It is the same size as an average upright vacuum cleaner, lighter than my Dyson. The base of it is longer that it is wide, still smaller than my upright Dyson vaccuum cleaner. I suppose it is similar to the Classic model. Not sure where I am going to store it.  In the loft?  It has to be dried before being stored.    

Answer 2

I have the old orange one and the upright one too - is that the type you mean?  If so, its the same size as a dyson upright.
