OK!! I bought this today because fiancee and I planned on cleaning carpets for Labor Day weekend! Yeah I know how fun.... Anyhoo, we live in 3 bedroom townhome with the standard light beige carpeting with a pekingnese and toy poodle that decide from time to time they are too lazy too use the bathroom outdoors. Well, after a week of research on every website out there. I decided on this HOLY GRAIL of INVENTIONS!!! I am not exaggerating!! I can't believe I waited so long to purchase a home cleaner while owning pets!! I am incredibly impressed with this. Assembly was easy as all get out. just read the instructions!! Now because of my research this is what I have found works perfectly for me!! Everyone may not agree but I am so in love iwth these results!! 1) Use boiling water!!!! Easy way--use electric kettle and have it at the ready while you are cleaning that way there is no waiting for water to boil in a big pot on stove. Major time saver. 2) I used a mixture of fragrance free deep cleaning hoover solution, natures miracle, and oxy clean in the measure cup and added a little more of each about eight ounces total. A little more than the recommended amount 3)Have mp3 player around neck and ready with your favorite playlist 4)I did three wet passes with solution and 10 dry passes. Yes i know crazy but so worth it. 5) the dumping of the water was no big deal i loved seeing the dirt!! 6) afer you are done with whatever area, make sure you are barefoot and go over with drying passes over entire area again, obviously you can go a little faster this time because with the heated air it helps dry faster. 7) take break, eat, drink, do cartwheels because carpet is so clean for about 10 minutes 8) Now for the piece de resistance.. however you say it... It's time for the rinse cycle. Hot clean water this time, with a small capful of your favorite DOWNY fabric softener!!!!! Do one wet pass and about 5 dry ones. OMG!! talk about soft and you can choose the scent!!!! right now my house smellls lightly of lavender and vanilla!!!! Done with my fabulousness.. off to lay on carpet for bed!!:)
What's great about it: suction is AWESOME carpets dry in an hour!!!
What's not so great: hand tool rotating brush a little cumbersome to use
