Hi All, I am buying a variety of carpet cleaning kit and wanted to ask you seasoned pro's if the extraction machine I am looking at is "decent" enough.It's an Airflex 350, has had little use and looks in v good condition.
I plan to use lm/rotary for low profile carpets and want the Airflex 350 for deeper pile carpets and stairs/sofas etc. Will this machine be suitable or do I need something more powerful?
Any advice is appreciated, cheers.

Yes it is powerful enough  In conjunction with a good prespray after vaccing and a good agitation 350 psi will do the bizz..........Alan(swindon)

Iv never had close look at one , but reading through the specs and looking at it generally , id say its a very well thought out design .
the specs are fine ..  350psi    200 cfm  140 " lift
Pity there is no onboard heat , but its probably better to have an inline close to the wand anyway .

If you fancy an vac upgrade sometime you could , with perhaps a few mods fit a pair of these motors and make it into    ' Storm '  spec    ( give you about 300 more airwatts )

The vac mounting plates are interchangeable so it's quite easy to do, and have to say Cleansmart have really looked after us.
