The neck of the solution bottle fits through the filling hole, so you can add this more easily when the tank is level, but you would have the same problem if using a larger bottle of solution. You can either fill it just enough for a small area, or enough for a large area, meaning you don’t waste water and solution by guessing how much to put in. This wouldn't be a problem if you have a garage and driveway way but does become problematic if you live in an apartment or street-park your car.

Its smaller spot cleaners are designed to offer the same level of cleaning but with the addition of portability. Vax includes a 250ml starter bottle of antibacterial cleaning fluid in the box, which will be sufficient for a few cleans.After a quick whizz through the safety instructions, which are clear and separated into ‘Dos and Don’ts’, I moved on to assembly.
