I bought it to use as a spotting machine, was £150.00 cheaper than a branded spotting machine and is doing for me what I bought it for.

I run a T/M so I'm not pulling it bollards off all day long!!

BOLLARDS, never could spell  Cool Cool Cool

Hi Paul, have a look at the Cleanfix TW 300.. good for all carpet cleaning and valleting.. very user freindly only problem is they last to long. They can be purchased from Cleanfix 01794511230 at around £400.

I Just bought a puzzi 100 for the little jobs and for car interiors, and have to say a very good machine for £350 in vat and delivery. But there is a place in wales that sell it for less. This machine managed to clean a bathroom carpet that looked black back to it original cream colour, that was with the help of Prochem exctraction pro.

The Puzzi is a reasonable little machine and has been around for some time. You tend to find them in hire shops and they are often rebadged under different names (I'm sure the Haggerty is/was based on the Puzzi100)

The problem I find with the Puzzi is because is is a long rectangular machine, with clean and waste water at either end, it can be awkward to move about if it's not empty. The wand isn't particularly well made but overall its not a bad machine.

I'd recommend anyone looking at this size of machine also looks at the Spraymaster range which, I think, is much easier to work with. One particularly good feature is that the solution hose actually runs inside the vacuum hose as opposed to being clipped on the outside of it (which is OK until you lose the clips!). With it being an upright machine it is also easier to move around and it has a wider and much more substantial wand.

We supply both machines but I'd much rather use the Spraymaster than the Puzzi myself.

It looks like this:



and costs £316.80 plus vat

I have used a Stimvak Toto machine as a back up for the last 15 years and they are excellent  little machines Wink
