I Need a Carpet Cleaning Machine. A Vax? Other? Must be Lightweight. Needed by Sat.

PasturesNew

As with all things, at short notice I need to source a "VAX, or any lightweight carpet cleaning machine".

This is for elderly people, so I want to stay away from stuff that requires two bruisers to operate

Can anybody recommend which ones are good/best, which to avoid ... and some amusing "I tried to clean my carpets but ..." stories.

Cheers.

It's not a deal I'm after, it's advice really.... maybe I should have stuck it into DIY/In Your Home..... I'll go there.

Carpet's minging... 15 years of dropped coffee mugs .. and important visitors arriving.

Depends what the carpets are like in my opinion! I have a vax rapide. I have normal pile in my sons room, but 'edeged-like' /grooved carpet in all other rooms and the rapide is rubbish on it!!! I stupidly went for cream carpets and have a toddler!! I will have to use a professional cleaner to clean mine after 1yrs use and 'walk-ways' a bit grubby!!!

I suggested HUKD as someone there might point you in the right direction [hopefully].

Looks like you might have posted in the right forum section in the end though.

This might be too late for you but have you thought about a Bissell ProHeat carpet cleaner? I've tried hiring carpet cleaners and a Vax but the Bissell beats them hands down. When we moved house we had a revolting carpet with food and pet stains, after we cleaned it with the Bissell it came up like new (it was a good quality carpet though). There are often deals on Amazon or you can get a reconditioned one.
