Why wash my carpets?
Although regular vacuuming of your carpets removes everyday dirt, it does not completely remove the deep-down dirt and grease that makes carpets look flat and lifeless. Washing your carpets will.

Customer Reviews

Love it
I bought this on ebay and got 24 delivery it arrived about 1.5 hours ago I have just finished cleaning my diningroom carpet with it.

Puttin it together - i managed it ok just 4 screws and a bit of fiddling

ease of use - so far simple, they seem to have kept the design so that there is not alot to go wrong.

Does it work - I have just done a patterned carpet that ranges from beige to deep red and I can now see all the colours. I had lost most of them to the mud bought in by my 2 dogs and my mothers wheelchair etc (not sure who is worse her or the dogs!!!) Bearing in mind I have only just finished the carpet is easily dry enough to walk on, looking forward to going the other carpets and this is so easy to use I am hoping to keep the dirt down rather than letting it build up.

I read reviews last night whilst waiting for it to come and thought OH god what have I done but now I have had a go i am so chuffed I went with it. It works for me that what its all about easy to use and store full marks

Hope this helps

CLEANED MY CARPET BEAUTIFULLY
I, LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE, WAS CONCERNED ABOUT PARTING WITH MY CASH FOR THIS ITEM WHEN IT HAD MIXED REVIEWS BUT I TOOK THE PLUNGE AND I'M SO GLAD I DID! WE LIVE IN A RENTED HOUSE AND THE CARPETS WERE STARTING TO GET DIRTY AND I THOUGHT THAT BY THE TIME I HAD HIRED A CARPET CLEANER AND BOUGHT THE SHAMPOO ETC IT WAS CERTAINLY WORTH A TRY TO OWN MY OWN - WITH 3 CHILDREN UNDER 7 I KNEW I WOULD USE IT!! i TOOK ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO ASSEMBLE AND OFF I WENT. CARPET CAME UP REALLY WELL AND I'M ABOUT OT EMBARK ON AN EPIC MISSION TO DO THE REST OF THE ROOMS!! ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THE NOISE BUT ITS NOT THAT BAD AND YOU SOON GET USED TO IT. BUY ONE - THEY ARE A BARGAIN PRICE AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT

Replace your orange horror!
Reading the reviews gave me severe doubts about buying this machine until I came to that by Sarah Keeling. I too wanted to replace one of the horrid Vax orange drums that had gone out of use as a carpet washer because of the complexities of setting it up. She had found it a great advance and had had no problems. I then re-read the bad reviews and thought that, in many cases expectations had been too great and mechanical ability sparse! So I ordered one. Putting it together was easy but one does need a clear table to work on and a chair to sit on when fitting the tool caddy - and a good light or daylight. Seeing where black goes on black is always difficult! Mindful of the warnings I did a dry run (well, wet run) with plain water to ensure the detergent tank didn't leak and I knew how to fit it. Similarly the dirty water tank, I didn't want dirty water all over the place - but it would be almost impossible for that to happen.
Then I went live and found it wonderful. It does the job, is easy to store, is easy to move, it dries the carpet very well but, it is noisy! Two things I learnt; to modulate the rate at which you move the machine back when distributing the cleaning fluid - too slow and the carpet gets much more than is needed and the tank empties quickly. Second, the dirty water tank needs a really good clean at each emptying with water being run into the front slot to clean out packed fibers. Cleaning carpets is not a quick job - as I knew already. Buy one!
