Has anyone ever seen a Kenmore carpet cleaner like this? From the 80s and 90s. I always wanted one of these because it can be used as a carpet cleaner or a wet/dry vac. Some models came with motorized brushes to scrub the carpet or a nozzle for vacuuming. These were made by Ryobi.

My grandparents used to have one like that, I don't remember for sure but I think it was branded Bissell..
The prices for almost everything on eBay have just gone insane lately.. I really don't even look on there much anymore for that very reason..

Yeah, I remember the Bissell ones too, they had several models and the one that could also be used as a wet/dry vac was green and called the Big Green Cleaning Machine. Plus there was a version with a carpet scrubber attachment as well.
I've bought some things on eBay and gotten deals. I usually just look for the lower priced buy it now items. Or sometimes you get lucky and end up being the only bidder on something. It's funny how some items will get bid way high and then a few weeks later the same item gets one bid and goes for nothing. The shipping has been killer esp, items that are a good price but rather heavy or bulky.

I forgot we used to have a Bissell one as well, but it was the upright type that is common these days. It had a hose and a few attachments too. My grandma gave it to us when they had their carpets taken out a few years ago. I don't think she had it for more than a few years. It seemed to work well but we only used it once or twice on the carpet.
I want to get a few attachments for one I just got. It only came with the carpet cleaning attachment but I want to get the motorized attachment for it, squeegee and some of the regular vacuuming attachments so I can use it to clean my car, etc. Plus there's also a regular motorized nozzle for dry vacuuming. I've seen some of these attachments on eBay but not wanting to paying $50 for each with shipping. I only paid $5 for the whole machine.
