Now that I have my shiny new Sentria2 I figured I'd do a little review of the Kirby shampoo system.
When I was thinking about buying the machine I couldn't find an in depth review with pictures so I hope this may be of use to some people.

Anyway, most of the carpet in our house is less than 3 months old, so I've had to be creative with my test samples.

Firstly I've got the rug from my grans patio door as can be seen here.

It is 80% wool carpet. As you can see it has discoloured with surface soiling from them trampling in and out of the garden and is looking quite grubby...

The drivers mat is generally filthy and worn from the rubbing of heels in the pedal area. I AM NOT EXPECTING THIS AT TO CLEAN UP A GREAT DEAL. NOT LONG AGO I SPENT SOME TIME CLEANING IT WITH A DEDICATED EXTRACTION MACHINE USING A PREMIUM SHAMPOO AND IT DIDNT LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT ONCE IT WAS DRY

After...

This is genuinely the best that this mat has ever cleaned up and I think the most impressive result. I think that this is due to the Kirby cleaning from the top downwards, where as an extraction machine pulls the dirt from the bottom to the top.

OH AND ALSO NOTE THAT ONCE DRY THE CARPETS HAVE HAD A GOOD VACUUM WITH THE KIRBY IN DRY MODE TO REMOVE THE POWDERED SHAMPOO AND DIRT
