Handheld carpet washer / cleaner recommendations

[notlisteningwithmother]

We have a large Vax carpet washer which comes out a few times a year. But it's impossible to use on stairs and in small spaces, and is OTT for spot cleaning. I'm considering buying a handled carpet washer / cleaner for day-to-day and for use on stairs. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

I have a bissell spot cleaner www.bisselldirect.co.uk/products/spotclean-pro which is fab.

The ones you can hire from Asda are good..

Thank you!

I'll take a look at the Asda options although the discount on the Bissell might make it more cost effective in the long run. The amount of mud coming into the house in the current weather makes me think it would be well used!
