I love it for the carpet I have on the stairs. I would like to be able to remove the fuzz that collects in the nozzle that got missed by the vaccuum and would also like to buy an extender so I can stand up to do the larger 4 x5 area rug though.
Had this machine for several years and recently the spray nozzle does not dispense water when I pull the trigger. I've tried cleaning the nozzle but it still does not work.
Just bought this little guy and used it on 2 stains that were both over 6 months old. Cleaned it up like a champ access really good suction as the carpet was barely damp afterwards.
Followed all the suggestions in the FAQ, but still can't get enough suction to remove the water in carpet and upholstery. However, while cleaning the machine, I discovered that it will suction water from a bucket like a champ. It just won't do what it's designed to do. It's not worth the investment to take it for service.

Well that's odd - if the machine's able to suction water from a bucket that should mean it's working. Is the surface you're trying to clean rather porous? Give us a call and we'd be happy to check and see if anything's wrong! 1-800-237-7691.
I just bought this machine to clean my couch which was covered in spots from the dog. I'm happy to say, it got out every stain & the couch looks like new. It was easy to assemble and use. I'm very happy I purchased this machine.
Does a good job spot cleaning, but, fur collects in the...

We've had this model for about five years, while it does spot clean very well when our kitties throw up hairballs, we think the design needs some tweaking, because the sprayer head gets filled with cat fur and hair from the carpet, and there's no real way to get it out of the sprayer head or the dirty solution bin too. We've tried rinsing it with a shower head, stream of water from the sink, using an old toothbrush to get inside to clean it better, but, the sprayer head needs to have a way to remove the plastic end cap in order to really get the collection of hair, fur out of it completely. Also, the dirty solution bin has a strange shape so it's ALSO very hard to remove any fur that collects after carpet cleanings, my husband had to take a garden hose outside and squirt it alot to get most of it out..The sprayer head is the most stubborn because nothing we've tried gets the fur and hair clumps out! Please redesign these issues!
