I hired the Britex carpet cleaner from my local Woolworths today and bought the cleaner and defoamer. The unit seemed quite big initially but it is easy to move around. I have two dogs and my carpets are light coloured with quite a few stains from the dogs so I didn’t have all that high hopes for a good result. The unit is very easy to set up and also to use. Once I started I noticed an immediate result. It does a very good job. It does take a bit of time and heavily stained areas needed a few goes but it got up every stain. Quite phenomenal how much grime it gets up. Needless to say the dogs are no longer allowed in the carpeted rooms. Very happy with the end result.

I hired a unit for around $40 AUD from my local supermarket, on hire I was suspicious as to wether it would be truly worth my time and effort. I got it home and hooked it up, follow the instructions on the side of the unit and I had a perfectly clean car in no time. It work really well in removing the dirt and grime from the seats as could be told by the color or the water in the waste bucket. I ended up cleaning three of our cars it was that successful. I reccomend watching a how to video on YouTube to get you off to a flying start. Highly recommended!

Hired the Britex Carpet Cleaner from bunnings plus the cleaning solutions for the first time, actually really good, did a 3 bed room house took me around 2hrs smells fresh and the carpet clean well. it can go to hard to reach areas dry pretty well too. won't be using carpet cleaners any more.

My brother purchased this house with used unclean high pile carpets. He rented Britex steam cleaner from Buntings for 24 hours to clean them. I thought we needed to change them. He proved me wrong with use of Brite!

Dont know why people are complaining about these. If you follow the instructions and dont over saturate the carpets it does an amazing job.

Can't go past 1 star on this one. Went and got the cleaner and took home only to fill with the solution and the water and find out the vacuum was broken and turning on and off intermittently. Very frustrating. Took it back and had it replaced on the spot, but had wasted the solution and didn't have that replaced. Took home and spent some good hours on the house only to notice that it really didn't make any real difference to the carpet. I understand that it is a slow process, but in my opinion the product does not work as they advertise.

I've gotten professionals in a couple of times and always disappointed with their results, perhaps it's because they move so quickly through the house.
I much prefer hiring a Britex machine from the supermarket, half a days work and my carpets are clean and fresh. I have a mid-priced Bissell which is utterly useless, will purchase a Britex machine in the future.
I don't find the unit too loud, heavy or have problems with cords tangling.

I hire a britex carpet cleaner from my local Bunnings. It was fantastic it brough my cream coloured carpet & my lounge up beautifully. It even removed old stains. Will definitely hire again.

They want $23 for a bottle of 2 lt detergent which you then had to use 3 big cap fulls per 9 liters of water, so about 4 caps per refill of water. Then they want you to buy defoamer, don't, i never do and never have a problem. You can use a small amount of fabric softener which will do the same job. Anybody tried alternatives for the shampoo? $40 hire, $23 shampoo, $12 defoamer, $75 total.... how much to get someone in to do it for you with professional machines?

Works so well. Wont bother getting a professional to do it. Had a dirty as hell carpet due to a high traffic area, you know shoes bringing in dirt rain stuff etc. Was looking pretty grimey. Real estate agent had a go at me at an inspection. Got one of these and was so surprised how clean it got my carpets. Hired from bunnings.

The lid is a smoky brown colour. You can not see properly whether it is full or not. Also the water holder should have a handle because it only has a little lip to hold onto so when you empty it, you are struggling to hold onto it. The cleaner is very good but wow it is so loud it is actually stressful. The cords tangle. I have hired it so many times now I am buying one. Hopefully they will bring out a clear lid sometime soon.

Received a free coupon for hire from a friend, used it for the first time, while it was raining and getting colder in Melbourne. Carpets were dried in just under two hours, even though they claim 4. But incredible results, I may just spend some money on it next time lol.

Very heavy for me to lift machine into boot. Hoses kept getting tangled, extremely noisy. Had previously borrowed an upright shampooer and found it much easier. Googled upright cleaner and found a newone for $99 at Godfreys...that's the way I'll go next time

I was very unsure on this product and doing it myself. After months of thinking about it I went down to my local Bunnings and hired the machine. I brought 2 cleaning products which cost approx $22. The hire was $38. I cleaned 3 bedrooms and my lounge room. And I'm more then happy with the results. The machine is so easy to use. I just watched the video on how to use the machine and off I went. My carpets have come up brand new. It smells nice, the feel is better and brighter in colour and for approx $60 you can't go wrong. I'll be using this product again on a yearly basis.
