Carpet cleaner recommendations?

GTech is always my go-to, they make a carpet sweeper and a vacuum cleaner that look very similar both very good.

Have had my Vax carpet cleaner for over 10 years, never had a problem with it, cleans carpets well and doesn’t soak them.

To clarify - I meant carpet shampooers rather than vacuums

You can get reconditioned VAX on EBay. I’ve been thinking about buying one

I have an elderly Bissel carpet cleaner which is ok but not as good as it was so I am thinking about replacing it - I'm talking about the ones you push like an ordinary vacuum cleaner not small handheld ones. Good Housekeeping recommends a Vax but there are several reviews on Amazon saying it broke quickly.
Any thoughts?
One of my gripes with my Bissell is that it is virtually impossible to clean the water tank afterwards

It's essential to consider both expert recommendations and user reviews when choosing a carpet cleaner. While Good Housekeeping recommends a Vax, the negative Amazon reviews raise concerns about its durability. To address your issue with cleaning the water tank, research models with user-friendly maintenance features, and read more reviews for insight into long-term performance and ease of use before making a decision.

I’ve had a Vax for years too, and it’s always been fine.

We always use Astonish Carpet & Upholstery cleaner, & find it very successful. The Range seems this be the cheapest shop to buy it in.

I feel it is both cost and labour effective to ask a professional Carpet Cleaner to give you an estimate. I doubt it will be more than £30-£35 per room .

I have just bought this Vax with two other people and we will share it, so very cost-effective! It's not very heavy and seems easy enough to fill and empty the water containers.

Just spotted it's gone down from £160 to £140 !! 😒

I’ve had a Vax carpet cleaner for years. It’s a simple version and easy to use.

Fairy liquid,the green one is good

I’m on my second vax carpet cleaner . The first lasted 12 years .

I had an old Bissell , which gave the carpets one hell of a scrub .
And then a Vax .
It was a joy in that it sucked up most of the excess water .
It certainly isn't as well built and durable as the old Bissell .

I like 1001 carpet shampoo mixed in with some Zoflora to disinfect and deodorise the carpets .

Our first huge and heavy Vax carpet cleaner lasted nearly 15 years and saw us through two messy sons and the final, incontinent, years of our dog. The current, smaller and lighter Vax is in its tenth year, as good as it was on year one.

If I am right ( I may be wrong) it won't be the first time!

But I don't think you can put "Fairy Liquid" in the tank. Unless your talking about some other form of Fairy Liquid
