I'm curious to know, those who have one, once you've sampled life with a wet/dry cleaner, would you ever go back to a regular dry vacuum? We have an open coal fire and a toddler, so that means coal dust, crumbs and (for the moment) potty failures. Our carpet looks like Birkenhead on a Friday night at the moment.
When I was a kid, we used to have an Aqua Vac (remember those?). It was brilliant, it picked up a hell of a lot.

Actually, IIRC, the last wet/dry cleaner I used was actually a vax and it did a good job of cleaning the carpets.

However, the best thing I have found for cleaning carpets (or pretty much any houshold item) is a Polti (http://www.polti-ltd.co.uk/) steam cleaner. We have the "Vaporetto" model. If you use it on a carpet though, you will need to vacuum afterwards as it seems to pull up a hell of a lot of dirt.
