This one is a replacement for one I've had for years that finally wore out. Only thing is this one didn't come with a beater brush. I wish it did. Very impressed with the overall product.
In my car, there is a cup holder on the left side of the steering wheel. While driving, my daughter knocked over her McDonalds large full soda which fell on the floor, driver's side under her feet. As soon as we got home, I pulled out my little green machine and sucked it all up. The attached sprayer worked wonders. It sprays while you are sucking up the liquid. Worked great, no sticky residue left either. So, I decided to use it on the back seat on a stain that my daughter made back in 2006. OMG, it almost took out the stain. You can barely see it where is was brown. I found myself wet vac the whole car. And to think that I bought this for the house with no auto in mind.
I like nearly everything about this little machine. It is easy to assemble and use, and does a good job cleaning the spots I need to clean. I used it on the floor mats from our RV, which were a dirty mess, after repair people tracked oily dirt on them. All the spots came out, with the recommended pre-spottibng I did. The only drawback is that the carpet is left wetter than I wish it were. I know this relates mostly to the power of the motor and suction it provides. It's a small drawback, since most cleaning I do with it won't be on oily dirt, which required extra cleaning.
This is working great for us so far. We did a good cleaning on our couch that's been in the family.for over 50 years. This have it a first over professional cleaning in my book. It will need a one more over though because of the dirtiness lol. This has also helped with cleaning up dog messes as well.
