Vax or Bissell?

Any other make to consider?

Steam or water?

Have a VAX 3 in 1 .... which lives in the garage - juat a pain in the rear end to assemble.

So looking for something 'instant' maybe an upright?

Looked at reviews but they are pretty inconclusive .... so, over to you SN - point me in the right direction

 

We have one thats Polish .. seems to do a good job

 

I don't want to polish the carpet ... just wash it

 

Yes ... and so much easier on the eyes.

 

On best direct the other night they had an a carpet cleaner that insisted everyone "unleashed the power of steam" it look awesome, had I of not bought an Ab king pro and a Storm force vacuum I might have gone for it!

Weve got one of these and its very good. Will remove all sorts of stains no problem. Had a Vax before and it just does not compare to this cleaner.

Cheers Chip ...... is that a hoover as well?

And thanks for those lovely picks above too - disgusting!!

 

Pete,

No its not a Hoover just a cleaner. It heats the water as well before cleaning the carpets unlike a Vax. Also has a removable hose to get into small areas and to apply to any hard to remove stains. Having used it quite a few times now I'd say its does as good a job as any proffesional cleaners weve used in the past.

Thanks Chip ...... I used to put hot water in my VAX, it always did a better job.

 

Chip, that item 'was' £165 in ARGOS apparently ..... not today though

 

Paid £160 for mine in Comet with a voucher code I got from somewhere.

Or theres this one. Seems a good price

have a look here, from time to time you get REAL bargains!

bid tv - Cleaning & DIY - The UKs Bargain Shopping Channel

and for the other side of the thread

 

£166 Amazon by the looks of it .... some say 1850 WATT others say 1400WATT! ??

 

That is only a 800 Watt motor .....

 

Oh yeah, sorry.

Chip

 

here you go pete (and others )

old school





bit more updated

 

No worries ..... if you see a 1850 Watt at £97 SHOUT!!

 

 

BOUGHT!!

£163 from TESCO Direct - sorted ....

 

Errr, you could have bought that same model reconditioned from Bissell for £123 with a 12 month guarantee

I had two Vax's from Costco - both broke. I then took the Bissell you've purchased, again from Costco - it broke as well. The cleaning fluid feed broke and the stuff poured out whether you the trigger pulled on or not.

The Bissells are streets ahead of the Vax's for cleaning carpets.

We downgraded to this one Bissell Shop Direct :: Products :: Reconditioned :: PowerWash ProHeat as the one you've bought weighs a ton. The recon'd one from Bissell does everything the larger one did and it's a damn site easier to use as it's lighter and not as wide.

p.s. although it's recon'd it looked as new when it arrived and still going well

 

I could do with a carpet muncher myself .

Oh sorry im in the wrong thread .Apologies !!

 

Have just picked up a rug doctor system from the mother-in-laws, will report back as soon as I've given it a test drive and seen how she handles.(The carpet cleaner you sickos!)

Sorry chaps- I've got no pics of a maid...or the mother-in-law!

I have ,do you want to see them !!!???

Your mother in law that is !!!!

 

We have a Bissell and it does a great job - but does use cleaning fluid at a high rate of knots which ain't cheap. The missus used it a lot when we first got it but it mostly lurks round in the garage unless there's a disaster now (comes in handy when you flood part of the carpet!)
