I bought a month ago and cleaned all my carpets. My son came to visit and his older dog had accident on family room carpet. After hand cleaning waste. This machine took the stains right out. Carpet looked new again. Lime it never happened. And the rubber nozzle attachment was a breeze to clean and disinfect. It has already paid for itself. Very easy to use. I am 62 and it glided across the carpets. Highly recommend this machine!
