I have rented rug cleaning machines in the past and decided to purchase one after our daughter spilled a blue drink on the carpet. After reading several reviews and consumer reports, we decided ro purchase this machine to clean our carpets. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, allowing me to assemble the machine in 15 minutes. We have light grey carpets in our basement which tend to show the dirt, especially in the high traffic areas and near the furnature. My initial intention was to do some spot cleaning on the hight traffic areas and the "blue spill.". However, after cleaning the initial trouble areas, I decided to clean the rest of our house. Overall, the machine does a very good job of cleaning and leaves the carpets dryer than other machines I've used in the past. The only drawback I would mention is the water tanks need to be changed more frequently than a commercial machine. So if you plan to clean a lot of carpet, plan to make 2-3 empty/refill trips per room.
What's great about it: Excellent cleaning performance, separate clean and dirty water containers, easy to use
What's not so great: Plastic handle on clean water tank
