With all due respect
I would go for neither of them.
Personally I would choose an "upright" style carpet shampooer which has both clean and dirty water tanks, which allow you to first shampoo and then rinse the carpet. This allows at least sone of the shampoo residue to be rinsed out - this residue can actually act as a magnet for dirt over time. There are quite a few models around, Vax produces a several of them. I have had one for several years now and I am still very happy with it. I appreciate that there may be a space issue for you, but I have a small house too and I would not be without mine.

Thanks! Thank-you for the advice! When you say first wash and then rinse, does the machine do it all for you, or do you have to fill with detergent first and go over carpet, then repeat with only clean water in the tank? | ||

Use
Mine is an older model Vax Rapide (plus, I think)
I could have been clearer in my earlier post, sorry. Mine has tanks for clean water, dirty water and the cleaning solution. Water/cleaning solution is dispensed by pressing a trigger in the handle, there is a switch to say whether solution is included in the water. I usually go over an area with water/solution, then again with suction only to remove as much of the moisture as possible, and repeat with water only (solution button turned off). I will normally empty the collection tank a couple of times as it can get a bit heavy, but that is really easy to do. Mine has two rows of rotatingt brushes, these are in use though all teh operations above. Mine has the option of an extra hose and smaller nozzle which can be used on stairs or more particularly on teh upholstered arms of chairs Al | ||

I agree with Al - I've just upgraded to to Vax Rapide Ultra from the basic Rapide. Very impressed with it

We had a VAX pet 6140, it was good, good carpet washer too, but has no brush to scrub the carpet when washing :( its a very good washer though and impressive at sucking up water, dust etc :D | ||
