i would say, rent one and see how good they are then spend a day with a professional off here, then come back to this thread and understand the previous replies.

Surely not for use a supposedly professional carpet cleaner? You'll be shown the door more times than soft Mick.

You would be better off booking yourself on a training course and learn a bit more about the business before buying a machine, as there is a lot more to it than first meets the eye..

I would expect Dominic Littlewood (BBC), will be on your tail if you use a RD to do" professional" carpet cleaning!  :o

Morning Ben Its not my machine it is a guy i do sub contract work for so if you give him a bell on 07775504896 or 07554006926 his name is Mathew and i am sure this will be £500 very well spent.If you do decide to buy the machine drop into swindon on the way back and i can let you have 4 x 10kg of Proton Carpet Detergent to get you started as i no longer use this.Regards Alan
