Vax Power Carpet Cleaner

[smidsy]

My agent and I are starting to disagree about the standard of cleaning required for a routine inspection.
I want clean & tidy but with the mess and dirt associated with living life - she wants a display home cleaned to surgical standard.

I have a heart condition and two kinds of back disease so floor cleaning will never be my strong point - my biggest problem is that with my back I can't lean in to a mop.

I only have carpet in two bedrooms, to hire a machine I'm looking at $47 plus chem so about $70 a time, or for $186 I can get this Vax cleaner which is paid for after two and a bit uses.
Has anyone got one or used one, I know Vax used to be a good name - and would this be any good for tiles?

Cheers

Routine inspection? They are there to check you haven't put holes in the walls or sold the oven, not whether you vacuum twice a day or not.

Most agents make a very cursory effort at inspections at all.

We've an old wet Vax "Darlek".

It's great, but a PITA for small jobs. If the cat has a spew or i drop a coffee.... Is a major drama to pull out, set up and then clean it to put away.

For a 6 month wash/vac though, it's absolutely perfect.

Ours is ancient, but it's much like this for $289... Vax Wash and vac...VAX VX5 Spin Scrub Pet 1500W Multifunction Vacuum Carpet Cleaner Washer Wet Dry

My looking around now sees them on gumtree second hand for ~$100. A bargain.

Today at supercheapauto they have the mini portable for sale ($203). I just bought one. Perfect for the car and small jobs (cat spew!)
