i have the dry fusion and think it is great, i think the only difference in the actual machine is the heater unit on the dry fusion machine is flat whereas the thermadry unit is upright so you can get under lower furniture with the df machine. i think they are even very close on price too.

if I wanted a system like this i would chose the D/F rather than the craftex version even if it was slightly more expensive as I would think you would get more support and help from D/F as its their only busineess......... unlike craftex who are a more general seller of carpet cleaning supplies

on small domestics where you can park within 50ft i don't think D/F would be quicker than HWE..... but on large commercial jobs it would be quicker

yes i do use their chems, they are very good but you really do need to use them as instructed.

back up is excellent, it has not happened often but when i have needed advice it has been available at the end of the phone.

must also add that due to cost of the chems you should be charging premium prices. its worth it.

That's a good idea. Can you only source them new from DF directly?

Creighton, on the top of your website, it reads:

Creighton Foyle Carpet Care LTD
Carpet & Upholstry Cleaning

Upholstery is spelt incorrectly - don't know if that might affect searches etc as its part of your heading?

i think you can get about 20m2 from one pad but i suppose it would depend on how dirty the carpets are. so if you allowed 1 per room youd be ok.

Benny its well worth getting the demo for the dry fusion system.

As creighton said in his post its all about how dirty the carpet is for a starter.

I prob use 2 pads on an average size lounge
