just borrowed a Vax carpet cleaner ..omg fab results ..want to buy one now..is yours good?

[ggirl]

I borrowed an orange vax cylinder one , have looked online now and people rave about the George one ..any one else have recommendation.

I want to get one too so happy you started this thread!

wish I'd known they were so effective , I'd have bought one years ago , rather than spot cleaning or hiring someone ,neither of which have ever worked well.

The only recommendation I can offer is a Bissell.

is it good HurtyTeeth? Does it get stains out ?

Wow the vax cylinder one? You mean this one

Going back some years that one, my Grandmother and Mother had them back in the late 80s. However, they still smell it now, so it has definitely stood the test of time.

However, nowadays most carpet washers are almost exclusively the upright ones.

If you have been satisfied by the cyclinder one, you’ll be blown away by the upright ones, as they have an agitating/spinning brush in them, and offer a stronger extraction of water than the older ones .

I have had 3 vax upright and 2 Bissell upright ones over the years, and I have been very satisfied with them all. I have always been able to keep every carrot looking brand new. Even had a cream carpet that must have been 25 years plus old and it still looked brand new when I downsized a few years back.

I currently have the 4th one down on this page. I really like it.

Have a look at all the models on that page.

*still SELL it now.

*caroet, carrot? Really need to proof read.

e1y1- thanks for replying , so uprights are better ..don't know why but I assumed there were all shit for some reason .
How quickly are your carpets dry on that one you're got?

dry enough to walk on about 4 hours, but will still be a bit damp, (Although i will usually walk on it straightaway but hot foot it across so only in bare feet) completely dry overnight. depends on temperature of and if there is a lot of moisture in the air.

Ggirl - oh yes, it's fantastic. We have the 'Big Green' (kept in the garage) which is the top end/range domestic cleaner. It's extremely amazing. Washes on the push and pull back, sucks up so much water the carpet is left damp rather than wet. Very good results. Is very cube shaped and folds compact for storage. Easy to use despite the size compared to other models. I use it no problem. I honestly recommend.

My Sil gave me her orange vax becise she couldn't be bothered with it.
It's really really good, easy to use and the results and great

We have the Vax duel V carpet cleaner. It is fantastic. 😊

Hurty - oh wow !yours is a whopper and out of my budget I'm afraid , but thanks

I've got a vax upright cleaner, the carpets look like new after. I previously rented rug doctors but the vax seems to be nearly as good and I can use it whenever I like.

Miss
Are renting Rugdoctors worth it for carpets with coffee stains?

I have a Bissell but I can't seem to get on with it. You pull the trigger to let the water down and then "Hoover" it to suck it back up. I think it would be good for a weekly whip round but not for a deep clean if you live with more than just a hamster

I have a Bissell and it's amazing, the dirt it brings up

I have the version where you can lift off the cleaner to make a portable version which has come in very handy for drink spillage and DD being ill.

Was about £250 though so not cheap.

Not cheap no. I baulked at the cost. We bought ours on a catalog account, paid in 12 months and no interest. 'Very' have Bissell machines (as well as Vax )

i have the upright
