Title: Vax Commercial Carpet Cleaner
Post by: Denise l on November 20, 2010, 04:39:39 pm

Has anyone ever used the new Vax Commercial hot wash carpet cleaner? I need something that is small enough for me to lift up and downstairs in nursery buildings on a regular basis.

The one that I was thinking about is £400+ on their website

Give us a link to their website so we can take a proper look.

What is it you do? Are you fully a carpet cleaner, or commercial cleaner who does a bit of carpet cleaning as required???

The advert makes it sound brilliant but in reality it's really NOT up to commercial work. You would be much better with a genuine commercial machine. There are a fair number of lightweight commercials around but a little more than £400.

if the link given is the machine you are considering then although it sounds up to the job it is purely domestic machine which will not give the result you need, i would guess your clients wouldn't be happy with the end result either.

I would try and rake up £600-£800 for a decent second hand small commercial portable here's some on ebay....
