Steve,

I had a loan of one of these from a cleaning supplier in Newcastle about 2 years ago, and to be honest it didn't do what it was supposed to do.

It was  their demo model and I was trialing it to shift heavy deposits of kitchen grease.

reading the  ??? palarva  ??? people are going through to get rid of gum is making me chuckle,

buy a bazooka it takes less than 30 seconds per spot and you don`t even have to bend over.  ;D

Agree, had a go with one a while ago, and if it's an old lump, stuck in the carpet and trodden down, bazooka wouldn't shift it.

I have got one Dene, It works okay is light weight and is good value for the money. The charge will last for about 30 minutes. It comes with a soft brush which is ideal for stairs or suites. I have got some tiny microfibre bonnets which I got from Contico, these fit on there a treat. They were designed for the caddy which I have. Not good if you want to use it all day.

I tried one on a school recently. Real problem as there is loads of gum and blue tac and all the carpets are bitumen backed tiles. Bazooka probably works well on carpets but the tiles looked like they had brown crop circles all over the next day so I sent it back and went back to a little steamer and rid a gum on a towel. Time consuming but I cant think of any other way.
