Does Capture Dry Carpet Cleaner work well with Oreck carpet cleaner?

I'm not sure why you would want to use it with another cleaner. I would be careful mixing any 2 cleaning products for fear of unforeseen chemical reaction. This stuff is easy, sprinkle it on, brush it in, wait at least 30 minutes and vacuum. The end.

Capture works well but it accumulates under the carpet padding. We found about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of this material under our padding when we replaced the carpet with a wood floor.

I'm not sure.....But I don't think you will need to use it with Oreck. Capture is easy, use the premist spray, rub in the powder, let it dry (I usually give it a few hours) and then sweep. If it needs one more treatment, go ahead. I have NEVER had this product fail me! Two cats and one dog :) Now, I do use a high quality vaccum cleaner with a lot of suction power, to get up all the powder. That does help.

I really went over the carpet several time drawing out as much of the moisture as possible and then it took a couple of hours to dry to the touch. A trick I was told by a carpet manufacturer was not to use cleaner in the water, but to spray the cleaner on he carpet then clean with the clear hot water in the Bissell. This way you can apply moisture without adding more cleaner. I believe it let's you "rinse" and suck the cleaner & dirt better. Just my opinion and that of a manufacturer. Seems to work very well.Hope this helps.

It appears to be the very same product, although I haven't used it. I was running out of the powder so I didn't want to get caught off guard with carpet stains, so that's why I ordered the product. I'm pretty sure its the exact same product, although I can't say for sure until I use it. I've been using Capture for years, getting it at Sears but they no longer have it and the only place I could find it was on Amazon. Its the best rug cleaner I have ever used; best of all, it takes only a couple of hours to completely dry from the pre-spray. I love it.

The wet vat works great. It does take some effort to get a lot of water out of carpet, but it will do the job.

There are two speeds on the Oreck and the brush roll is on both speeds but I found that it does a great job on bare floors on the lower speed without spewing the dirt and hair around which was a concern for me as I've experienced that on other vacuums.

Yes, I have used my Carpet Cleaner, it is wonderful, the machine is of light weight and very easy to handle, as I ama Senior Citizen and I could handle it well.

Yes, it does. I have an Aussie and it does pick it up. HOWEVER, you have to stop every few minutes to clean the hair off the brushes and empty the collector. So I bought a cheap Eureka Pet vacuum cleaner and it's great of pulling the hair out of the carpet... which will help the Turbo Sweep... less hair. <g> BTW. I have a Berber, short nap carpet. So, if you don't have a double coated dog like an Aussie, Shepard, Huskie, etc, it should work fine for the price. Just know, you'll have to stop alot to clean out hair if you have a long haired dog or cat.

We have berber type carpet and this machine works fair as the collection tank only recovers about half of the cleaning solution. That means some fairly wet carpet and a concern that the carpet pad is getting soaked. It also requires a lot to additional sucking to get up the water.Don't own any other type cleaner so don't know if there are better ones out there for berber.

For high carpet you need a powered vacuum head... the head on the onyx is air powered it is great for rugs and very low high density carpet but will not work well on high carpet

I have not used the Oreck XL, but I would assume this works just as well at full speed. One point to clarify about the "Ultra Quiet" feature, the vacuum is not "Ultra Quiet" at full speed. You can adjust the speed of the vacuum, which is nice because you can make it quieter and it can vacuum lightweight rugs without pulling them up, but it isn't "Ultra Quiet" all of the time.

I have used this machine on pile carpet and Berber. It doesn't extract well on Berber. It's great on the pile carpet, but I feel I need to put a brick on the tank to increase suction.

You dont want to use this on carpet, you would want to use Quick 10 made by the same company but for carpets, but dont buy from Amazon as there are people selling really old product and it is not good.

I don't believe so, I have used carpet cleaners on regular carpeting and on Berber. As I understand it the Steam carpet cleaners apply heated liquid to the carpet to help loosen dirt "However" that doesn't do any good unless you can get that liquid back out. With the Max Extract and other models that apply "direct heat" to the carpet it helps wick the moisture up so that it can be picked up. I typically go over the carpet 3 times for removal only, this gets the carpet almost totally dry in an hour or so. I also don't use detergent in my cleaning liquid as detergent's job is to attract dirt - once you have your carpets cleaned if there is any residue in the carpet it will attract more dirt making your carpets look dirty faster. I use straight powder Oxy and mix it in the detergent dispenser, this also helps keep your machine from clogging up like a sticky detergent might. The Max Extract model is super easy to clean also - miles better than my old Bissell was. Hope this helps

If it is dry yes one of the best little sweepers for carpet or wood or tile. I am very pleased to own this sweeper as always Amazon comes thru to provide me with the best items

I like the Oreck Steam-It. It does a good job and the floors dry very quickly. I am not too crazy about having to wash the pad that you use but you can cut up old towels and throw it away after using.

I have had absolutely NO TROUBLE with this Oreck. It is loud, has no light at base, no extra attachments either but this is a great vacuum cleaner.

I have found that the Oreck bags attach easily and firmly. I bought this vacuum cleaner more than a year ago, and I am still very pleased with its performance and simplicity of design and facility.
