I have and use both. While I could keep my carpets clean w/o my Little Green Machine (rinsing would take longer), I could not without my wet/dry vac. A wet/dry vac with strong suction is such a valuable tool when detailing. The suction on the LGM is just not comparable.

What does Canadian Tire have to do with it??

I wasn`t able to open the link from Canadian Tire but I am guessing that the link is a LGM from Candian Tire???

Yeah it is. If you want to look at it just type in their example format.

IMO, they have slightly different uses. A LGM is an extractor, which allows for a bit deeper cleaning of carpets and such, and helps remove stains etc. A shop vac is a vacuum.

I would get both.

thanks guys, the link should of went to LGM...but i dont think the model is with heated water...but what i am gathering is the suction is much better on a wet/dry.. so i guess i can just scrub manually for all intent purposes.. looks like i may go with the rigid..

I had the LGCM and returned it after a couple uses. I didn`t find it did any better at cleaning and it was a hassle to use compared to my shop vac. If you want an extractor then save up for a real extractor imho but I find I can do just as good a job with a shop vac then I can with the bissel.
