Well I have just been watching the presentation of the Bissell 1697E carpet shampooer with Simon Isles and the Muppet they call Howard Griffiths who was waving £20 notes in the air like a back street cowboy trader.......:cheeky:
Howard mentioned that there is another shopping channel showing another brand of carpet shampooer but Ideal World's Bissell is the best buy all round,so I flipped channels to find that QVC were selling the Vax Rapide Ultra.
Now the Bissell is the cheaper option but Argos who also sell the Vax are selling it for £149.99 as a pick up from the store whereas the Bissell sold by Ideal World is selling at £144.99 + £5.99 P&P to give a total of £149.98 a full 1 pence cheaper than Argos.
We have the Vax and one of our friends has the Bissell and both do a great job in getting stains out of carpets and upholstery,but the Vax is the better buy due to the fact that it has more suction power with 1000 watts of power compared to the Bissell's 800 watts and believe me this does make a lot of difference.
The Vax also comes with a 2 year warranty compared to Bissells 1 year and with the Vax the hose and tools can be removed from the machine but the Bissells tools and hose cannot be removed and this can be a pain.
The Bissell comes with a pre treatment formula and tool attachment for old or stubborn stains and the Vax from Argos does not but this is not a problem as we were able to remove very old stains we had on the carpet near the back door with just the normal tool attachment and the stain disappeared.............:clapping:
So overall the Vax Rapide Ultra is the better buy in my opinion,and although you can also buy the Rapide Ultra with a pre treatment wand, this is not needed and you will end up paying out considerably more money for this add on............:wait:
I have never enjoyed cleaning the carpet as much as I do now since we purchased the Vax Rapide Ultra,I must be getting old........:smirk:
