VAX Platinum Power Max Carpet Cleaner vs SpotWash Home Duo Carpet Cleaner - CDSW-MPXP — Comparison

The Platinum Power Max, officially the VAX Platinum Power Max Carpet Cleaner ECB1SPV1, costs £169 and sits as the fuller-size deep carpet cleaning option in this VAX comparison. The VAX SpotWash Home Duo Carpet Cleaner CDSW-MPXP is £109, placing it as the cheaper, compact spot-cleaning model for smaller spills and targeted mess.

Platinum Power Max is built for powerful deep cleaning, with quick dry time, simple cleaning modes, Auto Mix Technology, odour-killing stain treatment and versatile tool attachments. SpotWash Home Duo focuses on portability and multi-surface spot cleaning, adding an extra wide 2-in-1 wash tool, crevice tool and messy clean up tool in a compact body that is easier to store.

Platinum Power Max suits households that want to refresh whole rooms, clean high-traffic carpets or tackle larger seasonal cleaning jobs. It costs £60 more, but its deep-cleaning format and automatic mixing are better for bigger areas. SpotWash Home Duo is ideal for flats, pet accidents, food spills, stairs and upholstery where a quick grab-and-clean machine is more useful than a full carpet washer. The trade-off is less whole-room cleaning capability.

Bottom line: choose Platinum Power Max if you need a full-size carpet cleaner with Auto Mix Technology and deep-cleaning power / opt for SpotWash Home Duo if you want a compact £109 spot cleaner for spills, stairs and upholstery.
