I had a look at the Numatic web site, but it gives a very poor overview

you have a particular model in mind? I never found a specific

You want a George, you do.


Isn't that just a vacuum cleaner than can also suck up wet stuff?


Not quite. A George has a pump to spray the hot water extraction liquid
into the carpet. You move the vacuum end towards you as you squeeze the
trigger to get the water/shampoo onto the carpet.

Basically, water and shampoo is pressure sprayed into the carpet pile
and is immediately sucked out. This means that you end up with a damp
carpet, rather than a wet one.
