I'm thinking of getting a VAX or Bissel. Is the appliance simply

It's basically like hoovering. If there are persistent stains then you
may need to go over them more than once.

FWIW, I wouldn't recomment a vax or bisel but one of the Numatic
offerings for best results at a budget price.


I had a look at the Numatic web site, but it gives a very poor overview
of what they offer, which seems to be mainly industrial machines. Did
you have a particular model in mind? I never found a specific
applicance that appeared to compete directly with the VAX.
