Yes the old jack of all trades proverb is pretty true where compromise has
to be struck. From the description I'd imagine if the device was used
regularly on only slightly soiled carpets it may well cope but a big clean
when none has been done for ages is needing the professionals I feel.

Maybe early days for there to be much shareable experience of these

My immediate problem with the Vax "Dual Power" carpet washer is that
two litres of clean water, produces an egg cup full of dirty water.
If this is to be expected, I wonder why the dirty water tank is as
large as the clean water tank.
The dirt that is picked up is not flushed into the dirty water tank
but build up thickly around the cowl covering the brushes.

Ive read the troubleshooting guide and followed the advice there,
without any improvement.

Unfortunately my worldly good ar in a heap in the garage until the
carpets get cleaned. This doe add to what would usually be a smaller
problem.



I have a very cheap Vax vacuum, and it's been pretty good. On the basis of
that, I bought a Vax steamer, which turned out to be useless.

I'd suggest taking your washer back to Lidl and hiring a machine.
