carpet cleaner - buying decision advice please

[stejonda@gmx.co.uk]

The carpet in our hallway and stairs needs cleaning.

I've read plenty bad about the carpet cleaning services who come out to
your home and reckon that the ones for hire will probably be worse in
inexpert hands.

The large and expensive carpet cleaners seem too unwieldy to be used on
a staircase but would the ones which work via a hose be as effective.

Can anyone recommend a carpet cleaning machine for me?

(I'm in the UK, btw)

Thanks folks,

Hmmm I do not know if Bissell is in the UK but I love the one I bought
at WalMart recently. Bissell QuickSteamer -Small lightweight and
works so very well. Easy to manipulate too. Mine cost about $86 but
if you wait, they do go on sale. I actually think of it as a fun
thing because the sense of satisfaction is so great. I am looking
forward to Sunday when I can do the last room in my house. C'mon
Sunday!

Bissell is indeed available in the UK so I'm going to buy a 7920 later
on today. Decided that that's the best option as its hose attachment can
do the stairs.

Thanks Thunder. woof!

I would recommend the Hover It does a great job I think it is a much
better machine than the Bissell...

I can tell you one to avoid. The Little Green Machines by Bissell. They are
trouble!! I know. I had two of them! Never again.

In one of the Sunday supplements Bissell have a full page advert for
the reconditioned 'Powerwash' cleaner. Saving £100 on new price.
It has a 10ft hose
They give a web page
www.bisselldirect.co.uk with a link to the machine.
I have no idea what they're like to use.
