Clean Machines

Business has been sold and they no longer rent out machines. They only do sales.
Anyway information on Unilocal of this business needs an update, tentatively it should be deemed closed/​moved.

Do NOT use their website. This place no longer exists but they are still taking your money.
I just ordered a Carpet Cleaning rental on their site, the process went through, charged my card but they didn’t send me a confirmation email. I called the number listed and it turns out whoever runs this business just up and left and didn’t bother taking down the site.
Very nice of them of still allowing their website to take client’s money though.
AVOID AT ALL COST.

Hmm the address to Clean Machines may have changed since this business was added to Unilocal.I was looking up Carpet Cleaning rentals in Vancouver and stumbled upon
It’s a bit confusing because the storefront at 726 Kingsway isn’t «Clean Machines» (I cant remember the name now), and I got confused when trying to submit a rental request through the website.
So I called the number and a super nice gentleman answered the phone and even let me know about a Groupon deal they were having. I JUST missed the deal by a few days and was prepared to pay full price for the rental, but when I went in to pick up the vacuum, Frank offered me a discount anyway!
The place feels small-​town and old looking, just like the man who served me. Super informal and casual place. I felt like I walked into my uncle-​who-​owns-​a-​vacuum-​store place. Anyhow I appreciate these kinds of businesses, which is a drastic change from a process-​driven, large corporation, salesperson-who-don’t-actually-know-their-own-products kind of organization.
I was a bit disappointed to learn that the Hoover «Steamvac» isn’t actually a steam-​cleaning machine. Maybe I’m just inexperienced, but I imagined the Steamvac to be a scalding-​hot cleaning machine. Turns out it is just a typical carpet cleaning vacuum. Anyhoo the machine I rented felt like it was made from cheap plastic. Even after Frank taught me how to use it (It is super easy to use) I was dubious on how good a job it would do.
We used to own a carpet cleaner but it didn’t have the suction power and left our carpet damp for days. I thought that was the norm. Actually, the Steamvac did a pretty decent job and our carpets actually dried around 3 hours!
All in all I had a very good experience! I would recommend Clean Machines to anyone who is thinking of renting a carpet cleaner!

We went in looking for a new vacuum for our new home. Rob runs the place and he knows his vacuums. I like to think I know a bit about what I buy — I do a lot of research. Rob was able to compare the Miele we purchased with Dyson’s and built-​in systems. The two other alternatives we were considering. Rob not only sells Mieles, but he also services them — indicating that he doesn’t do it that often. They just don’t break down as much as other vacuums. He’s friendly, approachable and is FAR from pushy. While in the store on a Saturday afternoon, 2 people walked in to return some rented cleaning products… he knew their names instantly.
We purchased our first ever Miele canister vacuum with 3 head attachments. One of them was not in stock. He said they’re getting more in a few days and to come back… but in the mean time, take the demo model. It was practically new. He didn’t want us to leave without it since he knew we’d want to go home and try it out.
It’s a little farther out for us — we live in Richmond but, for the service, it was worth the drive.
