    Hi guys,

    I'm playing with the idea of buying a vacuum cleaner for cleaning car upholstery/carpets.

    Doesn't need to be anything expensive or super "professional', just want it as a "nice to have".

    I have done a bit of googling but there doesn't seem to be many cheap options out there.

    best I could find was this...

    SIP 20ltr 1400w Valeting Machine Kit

    Is there anything else on the market that would be cheaper / worth considering?

    I got a vax 6131T last year from amazon for about €80 which is an absolute bargain. It did a fantastic job on my car which has light grey carpets.
    It's in argos for €170 but the best price when I was buying was on amazon

    Thanks. They are €159 in powercity!

    Will check it out but wondering if there’s anything else even cheaper? ... or would that just be regular vacuum cleaner territory?

    I know I have an SIP air compressor and hose reel and find this good and parts are available and the customer services is very good, a few emails and a phone call had me the part I wanted.

    I use hot water in my numatic ct370 with generic no foam famric detergent and get great results.

    My process
    Pre-spray with the solution from the machine
    Dwell 3/5 min
    Agitate, drill/brush (loving this setup, saves my shoulder blades)
    Then simply use the machine to finish up (spray/suck)

    The level of dirt will dictate the about I wet the fabric.

    I use the vehicles HVAC to dry the interior after.
