[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent product, price and delivery. Plus, the extras, such as attachments and shampoo are a great bonus. #sweepstakes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The good points: Both tank removals are much easier than undoing latches or pulling a lever on older models (but I wonder if this quick release will be a failure point in the future that will cause leaks). The suction sleeve is easily removed and replaced without the need for a screwdriver. The suction is slightly better than previous models as it pulls almost as much water out of the carpet as is sprayed into it. Overall the unit is much lighter than previous iterations because of the use of a lot more plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap or poorly made. The bad points: The HeatForce feature is nice in theory, but the carpet was only slightly dryer than when using a 2nd gen Hoover cleaner. No onboard tool storage, a small pouch with a hanger is provided to store it separately. The carrying handle is in an awkward position which causes the unit to tilt precariously when walking. The measuring fill cups were replaced with a narrow fill hole. The measuring cup/lid on the detergent bottle is to be used, but the fill hole is so narrow that unless it's poured agonizingly slow, half of the detergent will spill down the side of the tank. White lettering was used for the "MAX" level indicator on the clear solution tank against opaque liquid inside. The scrubber brushes work well but there is no edge suction or scrubbing. Use of either the clunky attachment or a small cleaner is necessary to get close to the surbase. The clear suction sleeve on the front of the unit is an odd design change. Older models sucked up the dirty water in a slot between the clear cover and the face of the unit. Removing the cover made for easy cleaning...one swipe with a paper towel and it's done. This model provides a slim, plastic tool to pull out debris in the suction sleeve, but it's not very effective. Best thing to do is run a strong stream of water through the sleeve turning it in several directions to clear the debris. In summary, it works well but not much of an improvement from the original design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this and was so excited to try it, I used it THAT NIGHT. I was amazed at the suction and drying of the carpet! I have pets, so usually I have to pick up clumps of hair behind my cleaners, not this one! And, EVERYTHING from brushes to suction path POPS OFF for EASY cleaning! I am very impressed with how well my 10 year old carpet looks again!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Clean and dry in record time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very simple and easy to use. Quick start guide got me going in minutes, although some of the instructions in the manual seemed to be written for multiple models. This model was very lightweight and simple; it's there to do a job, and does it's job well. The heated dry worked well, and I was able to put the room back together in no time! Long hose and attachments are conveniently stowed in a separate bag. I received this as a tester, and am very happy to have this now at home. I would definitely recommend it to friends/family/strangers! Best part about this unit is how easy it is to disassemble and clean. I've never had another carpet cleaner that was this easy to clean, or cleanable period!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this machine only once, but am pleased with the job it did. It cleaned as well as, or better than, the larger and more expensive Hoover model I had. Also easier to use. I don't have a large area to shampoo, so it's just what I need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have over 20 cats so and accident or two (or three or four...) is bound to happen. The suction on the machine is great and I love how it comes with a spot cleaning attachment! It's super easy to use and clean which is awesome! You can cover a pretty good amount of ground before you have to refill it again (depending on how trigger happy you are). All in all I think it's a pretty neat machine, it gets most stains out (you need the spot cleaning attachment for tougher stains), the suction is great, and it glides on my carpet like a dream. I'm very happy with my purchase! I just hope it lasts...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this to clean every carpet and rug in my house. Did a fantastic job and was simple to use. Maybe a bit heavier due to larger size but it worked much better than the lighter weight one I had. Well worth the little extra effort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this device to scrub my patio floors that are tiled. Years of dust and pollen had dulled them and this devise easily scrubbed the build-up away.
