Bissell £100 off mistake?

Hi Guys

Just found this by mistake and it seems too good to be true. Can't post a link, but if you go to bissell direct and search for 9500E you'll see it. Seems to be some sort of error on their website as this was over £300 this morning. Placed my order and it all went through ok, so hoping I'll get a nice bargain!!

    This is a good cleaner, but I don't really get the point of the side vents?

    The side vents dry the carpet. They blow out warm air. We've got the next model up! Absolutely excellent cleaners but the cleaning fluid is quite expensive and doesn't go very far.
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)

    I have a bissell shampooer.., I usually use their shampoo but spend more time rinsing than I do shampooing.., dirt still comes out just as quickly and its a lot cheaper. I figure as long as there's dirt and bubbles.., there's still shampoo in that there carpet lol.

    I bought a refurbished one.., half the price and when it showed a slight defect Bissell sent me a replacement part free of charge next day delivery so I was very happy.

    This is the top of the range 9500e model.
    The side vents blow out frothy water and do a spectacularly poor job of drying! :p It cleans ok, but still doesn't work miracles.
  • I bought the same cleaner an hour before this grabbit was posted and paid £225 and I thought I had got a bagain. Oh well - hope someone else benefits.
