    Never heard of the company. I would spend more and get a steam mop that is hand held as well so u can do showers/ tiles/ovens
  • In my opinion the best around is the Vax (although I hate Vax vacuums!)
    I have just bought this one

    It cleans well, has a brush attachment and variable settings for floor types. Many leave a lot of water which I wouldn't be happy using on wooden or laminate floors. This one is great and floors dry fast.
    Bonus is that it's currently on sale.
    (I have a cleaning company and have used many others to compare)

    Yes there is a clip on bumper that goes over the cleaning pad to use on carpets. Not sure it would do the job of a carpet cleaner but not tried on a carpet yet.
  • if you have a b&m near by to you they usually have quite a few for sale ranging from £30 to bout £40

    No, they don't clean carpets. They have an attachment that clips on but it just refreshes carpets and definitely does not clean them.
