Great product, good features at a good price.
This is a hundred times better than my old Bissel steam mop. I didn't realise how bad my old mop was until I got this one! Only downfall is that it's a little heavy, and the angle the cord sits has been annoying me - getting in my was as I mop. But I'm sure I'll get used to those minor things. Otherwise I'm very happy with this!

Does not work after 2 years of use
I have used the steam mop for 2 years and it suddenly stopped working. Did everything in instruction manual with no success. Contacted Vax, no empathy whatsover. They implied 1 year warranty so thats about how long it should last!

Poor quality product
The handle snapped off mid use and when i took it back to where i bought it i was told not covered under warranty as classed as accidental damage. So product is not fit for use as the parts are to weak to be used.

Disappointed
I’ve just bought this steam mop. Used it twice. Just finished the sample soap. Now the mop doesn’t work right. It leaks water and the water holder is cracked. Wastes of money.

Vax Steam Mop
Very happy with the Vax steam mop, having the detergent dispenser is a plus, it's very efficient and easy to maneuver on tiles and timber. Great price and a great product

Question & Answers
Have had this mop for awhile and has been terrific, however now the detergent has stopped working. Tried clearing any blockages as per instructions in manual, but to no avail. Can you help.
Asked by: Mosto
I've had problems like this with 2 models both the original and replacement. I disassembled the base from the head and poked every hole with a metal pin unplug the unit first then gave the base a good bang on the floor to clear anything blocking it. And it produces steam again

New machine do I have to hold trigger continually when I release steam stops? Also is there an easy way to get white button to release
Asked by: Patricia 37
Hi Patricia37
Thanks for reaching out, the trigger on this unit does need to be depressed for steam to be produced (we recommend intermittent use of the steam to prevent over wetting of the floor), and with regards to the white button i am unsure of what it is you are referring to, but with this being new some of these buttons/switches can be a little stiff but will loosen up with use, if you find it difficult to use after a few uses then please contact our customer service team for assistance.

My steam mop has been used twice. Both times it only steams for 3 minutes and then nothing. The unit itself is hot and I have taken it apart and checked for blockages. What next as it takes me longer to take it apart and check than I spend cleaning?
Asked by: Annoyed
Hi, thanks for reaching out, this is quite unusual and I would recommend taking this unit back to the place of purchase and letting the team assist you in either operation or the warranty.

Is the Vax vx22 safe to use on wooden floors?
Asked by: MadMadge
Hi Thanks for reaching out, This steam mop may not be suitable for all floating floorboards or sealed floors – please check with your floorboard manufacturer first prior to use, and test your flooring/carpet/rugs by running the steam mop over a small hidden area, if no pile distortion or no damage occurs continue cleaning. Not suitable for use on wax polished floors or furniture, acrylic surfaces and synthetic, velvet or steam/water sensitive materials.

Hi, I purchased the vx22 steam mop around Christmas of 2017, Recently I’ve noticed that it is leaking and found that where the cap screws onto the water tank is worn and it no longer holds that plug in tight, can we purchase a replacement tank?
Asked by: Johnson
Hi Johnson, thanks for reaching out, yes you can get a replacement water tank for this unit, it can be ordered via Bunnings at the special orders desk.

Steam fresh purchased approx 10mths ago. Has now stopped producing steam. The lights on machine are on and the machine is heating up. I have followed the instructions in product support but nothing has changed.
Asked by: JObst
Hi JObst,
Thanks for getting in touch.
This may be occurring due to a number of reasons:
- Depending on the use the hard water filter may be blocked or discolored and needs to be replaced.(You can order from the spare component retailer "Stokes appliance parts" or the special orders desk at your local "Bunnings Warehouse" the part number is: 029158003008.
- Alternatively, there may be a blockage within the machine (See attached image or your user manual for clearing this.)

Hi, I have the VX22 steam cleaner and it worked fine for awhile but the last few times when I press the steam button It has a grating/humming noise. I followed what has been suggested on the product support but it does not work.
Asked by: Helzie
Hi Helzie,
Thanks for getting in touch.
The humming/ grating sound should be the heating elements working to produce steam.
If you feel this causing the unit not to perform as well we'd suggest visiting a service agent for a closer inspection.
