I missed it. Let us know how you get on though Toril as we often get discount emails from Vax so if it's good I might still go for it.

That is useful to know as I don’t want to tackle a whole carpet.I have a rug I want to clean and just well trodden areas.I did order the large one from JL (won’t go into that again!) but apart from a problem I had with assembly it was just too big, heavy and bulky. I might keep this in mind although I have plenty of other costs to meet @the moment.I’ve just used it for the first time. I’ve only done the tracking in the dining room. The lounge will be done tomorrow.
Once I’d read the manual and worked out how to get the tanks off , I was off and running. Judging by the colour of the water it’s done a good job and the area of tracking that I did certainly looks a lot better! Despite always wearing slippers indoors, the amount of brown water was somewhat horrific.
However, I did find it quite tiring on the wrist when dragging the tool to suck the water out of the carpet but that’s probably because I was sitting on the floor, rather than standing up removing stains off carpet tiles at waist level like in the demonstrations. It will certainly be less tiring dealing with those “little” spills, rather than an area the size of the one I did.
As well as having proof, from the colour of the water, that it was getting rid of the trodden in dust and dirt etc and doing what it says “on the tin,” it hasn’t left the carpet feeling wet. It’s slightly damp but will dry quickly. I’ve also sprayed the area with the carpet protector because, with cream carpets, I don’t want to be cleaning them every five minutes and the instructions advise spraying it while the carpet was still damp.
You probably already guessed ……. it’s a keeper!
