Can a vax carpet cleaner be used as an ordinary vacuum cleaner?

A Vax carpet cleaner is primarily designed for deep cleaning carpets and upholstery by using water and cleaning solutions, so it is not intended for regular vacuuming tasks. While some models may have a vacuum function, they typically lack the efficiency and features of a standard vacuum cleaner. For everyday dirt and debris, it's best to use a dedicated vacuum cleaner. However, if you need to pick up larger debris or hair occasionally, it may work for light cleaning tasks.
