As anyone who cleans their own carpet knows, carpet cleaning is a real workout so good tools are needed to get the job done efficiently. Through my 30 years of home ownership, I have rented and owned many carpet cleaning units. While in college, I even worked for a carpet cleaning company. Recently I ordered the Prolux Storm carpet cleaning unit. Because I was not sure which version of the Prolux Storm to order, I worked with a fantastic representative from Great Vacs to confirm the correct one for my Rainbow vacuum. I am glad I took the time to confirm because it made the process incredibly positive. Once I received and unboxed the unit, I watched the online demonstration videos of how to set it up and use it. I also read the instructions that came with the unit to make sure I had not missed anything. To test out the unit, I went to a room where the carpet had not been cleaned in a while. After a thorough vacuuming, I began the cleaning process. It was almost as easy as vacuuming using the powerhead for my Rainbow vacuum. The unit moved very easily in the on position (solution dispensing and power brush running) and with just a little more effort to move when in the extracting-only mode (in the off position). Once I was finished, there was a substantial amount of very dirty water in the basin of my vacuum and the carpet was clean and fluffy. Comparing this to the all-in-one upright unit that it is replacing, I would say that the Prolux Storm did a much better job, and the carpet really looks good. Because it is a self-contained attachment to the Rainbow vacuum, it was easy to handle and use. The clean-up process was straightforward. My only regret, I just wish that I would have ordered it sooner. I am incredibly pleased, and I highly recommend the Prolux Storm.

I found this unit very difficult to get working. I did my living room and two bedrooms. By they time I finished the last bedroom I had developed a method to use the machine efficiently and the results were very good. Now I have to go back and do the living room again. The machine works great it's not as simple as turn it on and move it back and forth.

Yes, I bought the Prolux Storm Shampooer from GreatVac. I haven't got to use it as of yet. It looks very nice, indeed. It is described, I believe I will be very Pleased with it.
Once I actually get to put the shampooer in action, Then I will be more than happy to give my review of how well it actually cleans. Will be Spring time though. 😊
Thank You, Brenda

While the shampooer is good and good quality. It doesn’t seem to do much more then our bissel that we had does. This may be because the solution we got with the shampooer is expired, but that may not be the reason.

The machine itself is a bit much to juggle, but the end result was completely satisfactory. Going to keep and continue to use.
