I have taken this out quite a few times since buying I've made more use of it than I even thought I would. When you see the dirty water you realize that stuff really is yucky! Get it! It does the job!
I had high hopes for the green machine, but it sucks up less than a quarter of the water I put into my car seats. Ive tried varied pressure and temperatures of water with no success. It only sucks up a small amount of water and leaves the seat wet. Not damp, but wet. It's a great concept and would probably work for small messes, but I wish it was better for couches, cars, and larger surfaces.
