   Lindhaus vacuums are very good but pricey (also come in many different labels)
Powrflite's are good
Dyson (too much $$ for a piece of plastic IMO)
Sanitaire and Eureka commercial vacs are great and priced reasonably
if you have a TM,a turbine is impressive.

	No TM system, which is why I'm interested in a portable. I have a Kirby G4 at home, but the wife won't want me using it full time. Its a great system, but takes time to change attachments, and the bags fill up quickly, (which is good cause it shows how much dirt its picking up.) That's why I'm looking for a good brand. I haven't checked out the Bissell, but if the performance is good, I'll probably get one. I'd like it to have a good hose attachment system, and it should be relatively durable. I want to get into the OP pad system, and a good vacuum is really important.

	Diva, What is the primary benefit of post-vacing? Obviously, a prevac is essential, but how essential is the post vac? Is it simply a matter of setting the pile, or does the vacuum enable something else? A friend using a bonnet system uses a carpet rake to set the pile when he's done. Could this work in place of the post vac? Just askin.

	A pile lifter differs very little from a vacuum cleaner other than it is a super duper extra powered industrial vacuum cleaner with one cylindrical brush, a heavy fall out trap door and a large capacity bag. They are also on our website under used equipment for sale. It's how all carpet cleaning should start off. Especially if cleaning with bonnet or pad. Oops, did I say a bad word?

	Using a vacuum post cleaning is imperative with OP cleaning. Three things: It sets the pile It makes the finished product beautiful OP agitation kicks up more than any other type of method, no matter how much you vacuum or pile lift OP will bring up hair and grit, so post vacuuming is a MUST.

Is it simply a matter of setting the pile, or does the vacuum enable something else? Thanks Padman I was just about to make the same points ! HOOBOY We always post vac Prevacumming is great if it has to be done but we do a lot of commercial and they normally have a staff that vacuum before we get there. What Padman said is sooooo true you wouldn't believe the amount of crap that oping get up out of the carpet. DIVA

	Diva: Are you not forgetting that you stir it up and no way to remove it. Where as with HWE it is vacuumed up while cleaning? That being said makes it necessary to vacuum after. Would that be a correct statement?

	Diva I still am not sure about vacuuming after you have cleaned. I think a vacuum can not withstand the moisture you will pick up in the motor. Unless you wait around for the carpet to dry this will be a problem for you and an extra cost replacing the unit or motor before its life span. I felt the carpet after money cleaned it with pads and it was still damp enough for me to voice this concern.
