Are you detailing professionally? If so the Numatic ctd902 is a great machine, kind of expensive though at about £500, but you do get those twin 1000 watt motors for plenty of suction.
If it's just for home use, the George 3 in 1 is a pretty good deal at about £150. Which ever machine you go for try to use a Butyl free detergent, this will prolong the life of the rubber elements in the pump.
Hope this helps

Sorry, prob stup[id question, but does this model allow to clean and vac the cleaner liquid out in one stage. I dont want to applying a cleaner by hand and vaccing the seats dry. I ideally want a vac that will clean and extract in one
Iain PM me and ill demo the Numatic George as per my earlier post on DH.

Talk about an old thread lol
However, good question, has it lasted 2 years?

if your wanting one that will extract water/shampoo and clean at the same time may i suggest what i bought recently?
Karcher puzzi 100 - £300 inc VAT from screwfix direct with a 2 year warrenty and it is a commercial warrenty - not a domestic one, you need to remember that if you use it daily.
The puzzi is more a shampooer than a dry pickup hoover though, i always give the cars a hoover then shampoo...
