Carpet Shampooers

Thanks everyone.
Flexible Friend...loved your description!

Used my Vax yesterday on my much abused by the GC, ancient carpet. It has come up well.

I have a Vax, or rather I own a Vax as I never know who’s got it . My sister has it more often than we do. It is quite heavy but It’s very good and has lots of attachments for the stairs etc. The special Vax shampoo is always readily available in Argos.

I had 2 bissells they lasted a year each so bought a rug doctor, cost a fortune but I want to be able to use it when I need it not when I can get to the shops to hire one. it's the dogs danglies and a bissell or a vax is no competition.

I too have a Bissell and it has paid for itself over and over.
The only downside was that the instructions weren't very clear, so I did what I usually do, went on You Tube and looked for a video.

I have a Bissell, about a year old and £149. It does collect a lot of the water. It is heavy and noisy, but does a really good job. Has attachment for stairs, upholstery or car. Which proved very useful when someone actually threw up in the car!

I have a vax and am more than satisfied with it.

I have a Vax, does the job although it is big and heavy.

I hire one from Tesco...Rugmaster I think it’s called. They take up so much room for something I only use twice a year and only have carpets upstairs anyway.

I'vve had 3 Bissells over the years and they ahve continued to improve their range.If /when mine gives up I'll certainly buy Bissell again
