There’s no point in telling you how easy it is to use because the image alone tells you everything you need to know. It also has a separate tank for cleaning fluid, is lighter, and no longer comes with a pre-treatment wand. It will be especially useful for families with small children and pets, where cleanups should be done regularly.

Featuring a special antimicrobial coating, the brush bristles are well protected from mould and fungi growth. To avoid over-wetting the carpet, never use more than four shampooing strokes on a single section and, as a precaution, be sure to test-clean a small hidden patch of carpet first just in case the detergent causes discolouration.

The Rapid Power Refresh by Vax uses the patented Automix cleaning system to mix water and detergent in the right proportion and guarantee excellent cleaning results. If you would prefer to use less water and get your carpets dry sooner, there’s an Express Clean option that’s not quite as thorough but leaves carpets dry within 30 minutes.The Tower AQUAJETPLUS carpet washer is a) powerful, b) lightweight, and c) destroys all the bacteria and allergens. Two brush rolls and as many as 12 rows of Dirt Lifter power brushes will help to remove even deep down dirt and stubborn stains. We would also like to add that the unit uses a patented ‎SpinScrub brushbar that not only effectively removes dirt but also features an antimicrobial coating that will prolong its service life. But if you have pets and your floors tend to get soiled rather quickly it will be better to opt for a cleaner yielding 450 Watts and more. A SpinScrub patented system is a brush that rotates in two opposite directions and scrubs the carpet pile on all sides.

The Bissell 18583 uses the HeatWave technology to keep the water temperature at a consistent level throughout the cleaning session. The handle is equipped with a spray trigger that will allow you to apply the chosen solution; a foot-activated CleanShot button was specially introduced for pretreating tough pet stains. The carpet shampooer has a deep clean mode for a thorough cleaning and an express clean mode for quick clean-up.

Granted, it only runs for about 15 minutes per charge, but that’s enough time to clean up a few pet or wine accidents. To prevent mould and fungi growth, the Aquaspin brushbar's bristles are covered with a special antimicrobial coating.
