Vax VRS5W Carpet Cleaner - Does anyone's house staff use one of these?

[Old Greg]

Not sure a shop vac or the right tool for that job, they have limited capacity and don't always neutralise the tiny particles. Google: cyclone dust extractors diy. They often start with a shop vac.

The George is an extraction vacuum if that meets your criterion.

Dyson is a pile of poo. I think the pick up is rubbish.

I have a Miele, which has always been reliable. I'm actually on my second as I gave away my first to a friend as it meant I could justify buying myself a new one! Lasted a good ten years so far

Yup, another Miele vote here... it even manages to stay in one piece when the Polish mafia through it down the stairs on a weekly basis.

You never see a builder with a Dyson.
2 reasons:
1. They are overpriced
2. The money went on marketing design.

Buy British - Henry is designed and made in Chard, Somerset - not far from you.
The bag is easy to replace.
You can run them bagless if you want. (not recommended, but it works)
You'll get 3 Henry for the price of one Dyson. Except one Henry will probably last you 3x as long as a Dyson.

Very good, thanks.

I'm nowhere near Chard, I'm in Kent :

[WTFH]

You're closer to Chard than the Malaysian child labour sweatshop where another company get their product produced.

How did the latest run out from the Gricer stables get so many useful comments than mine?

We hate you even more.

We hate you even more.

I don't think that word is appropriate.

"Detest but tolerate" is probably closer.

Third vote for Miele when it comes to vaccuming


For carpet washing, the bissell has proven to be a thorough champ for years for me!

Henry FTW. Or George, who appears to be superior to Henry...
