I also have the Bissell Big Green canister carpet shampooer. This is the same machine that Mary Ellen Pinkham used to sell in the 1990s. It does a excellent job of shampooing carpets/rugs/stairways/furniture/car interiors.

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I decided to go for the Rinse N Vac MBU-2 with PB-850 Power Brush; it was only $279.<sup>00</sup> & free shipping. The other machines were a bit too pricey for my budget.</span>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I'll post more pics & updates once I receive the Rinsenvac.
Not to mention, the Rinse N Vac MBU-2 with PB850 power brush was the machine my parents used to rent back in the 1980s & 1990s. Or they used the RV-85 Rinsenvac (also equipped with PB850 power brush) So the Rinsenvacs bring me memories.
Thanks for all the help.</span>

Rinsenvac models MBU-2 vs. RV-85
Whatever happened to Blue Lustre/Rinsenvac? When I logged on to rinsenvac.com, it took me to rugdoctor.com; but Rug Doctor website didn't mention anything about Rinsenvac.
The Rinsenvac RV-85 resembles a Thermax CP-3; & costs $379.00; $100.00 more than the MBU-2, but I wonder if I should've bought the RV-85 instead of the MBU-2?
The GOOD thing about those Rinsenvac units is both models include the PB-850 powerbrush.
I'm not sure if the Rinsenvac with PB-850 power brush cleans forward & reverse or does it deep clean only on reverse stroke?
Do the Rinsenvac machines heat the water like the Thermax? Are the Rinsenvac PB-850 & Thermax PB-3 power brushes interchangeable? All I can remember is the Thermax PB-3 brush is vibrating like Rug Doctor V-10 powerbrush; & the Rinsenvac PB-850 has a brush roller like a regular vacuum PN.
I just can't wait for my Rinsenvac to arrive![this post was last edited: 3/1/2013-01:30]

Erik, Rug Doctor bought Blue Lustre/RinseNVac in 1996. I miss Blue Lustre/RinseNVac!
the powerbrush on the thermax and rinsenvac can be interchanged. some pb850 did heat the water but not the mbu-1 and 2 i used to have the mbu-1 but now i have a two,i like the one a bit better cause it seems like it holds more water and you can see the water enter the machine as it is sucked up,other than that it even sounds the same.
