Decent steam carpet cleaner urgently needed!

[hauntedvillas]

Can anyone recommend a good steam carpet cleaner? I want one that is portable enough to do the stairs and the sofas but also the carpets. Would love some recommendations before I part with the cash. Some of the VAX models seem huge! And we only have a small house

We just got a vax and its great! The cheapest one is out of stock everywhere in the planet, so we got next size up. Online price was £111, think its bit cheaper at the moment (instore £143). Its not much bigger than a normal cylinder vacuum , although it doeslive up our loft because normal hoover is in the cupboard with all my buggies Can ask dh the model number if you want. its very good.

Yes please if you can find out the model number - thanks! Does anyone else have any recommendations?

Ok, its a 6131.

best appliance I ever used was the rug doctor. you can rent them from morrisons and is about £20 for 24 hours (that includes detergent) Was much better than proffesional cleaning and better than a VAX we borrowed from inlaws.
