This just came on ebay at 7.30pm, buy it now £51.

I couldnt resist it!!

I dont actually need it, what do you reckon I should try and flog it for when I pick it up?
Surely got to make a few quid on that.

Like it, like it!!

I could advertise in diy shops, homebase and the like, and charge a tenner for a bottle of watered down extraction pro. With big flashy adverts.... I just need to come up with a catchy name...

I will probably keep it though, I can teach my daughter with it, shes 5, spot on!

A Hydramist Champ, or at least thats what they were called at one time. Slow, but they did a pretty good job with the right chemicals. Would always pull you out of a situation as a back up or if you only hired it out you have nothing to loose.

Hiring it out will only give you a bad name, unless it does a great job  :o

Thats the problem with rental machines! The person renting the machine will not do a proper job.

They'll "run" over the carpet with this machine, bring  all the crap from the bottom of the pile to the top and think that thats pish! Not getting my carpets cleaned again! Atleast i didn't pay someone to do that!  lol

Well, I am surprised.
Just got back from picking it up, cleaned it up, tried it out, its not actually bad!!

I did a carpet yesterday with a fivestar (just to test the machine) and just now with my new purchase. It did much better a job than the fivestar.

I am very pleased, just got to change the cable, then decide what to do with it!

Pump & brush share the same motor and are around £300 to replace.

Check it out well before you pay for it.

Also check the accessory connector on the side works. There should be a small hose on the handle to drain the tank with.

Orange ones are from before Trewax became Truvox.

They are good machines. All parts still available although the model is now discontinued.
