    Hiya,

    I recently bought a VAX V027 RAPIDE XL. I am really happy with this unit, and it does a great job of cleaning up the mess my dog makes :).

    If your carpets are really dirty you may want to hire an industrial cleaner, and get something like a VAX to keep on top of things.

    Hope this helps a little.

    Hi

    I bought a Vax vo27M I think, it was on offer in Argos for about £100, it didnt work so I got a refund and found a better model in Currys for the same price, this had £60 off I think. Go to a currys and see what they have. The model I bought has extra attatchments to do on stairs and upholstery.

    its this one I bought, if the link works !

    Hiya I believe it was £150 from Currys.
    There are some cheapers ones, but I heard good things about this model.
