For starters, the machine is suspiciously small. The body itself is small and compact, even the handle slides back into the base for easy storage. It makes storing an extra tool just for deep cleaning appealing. The express clean is simply amazing. With four passes it wets the carpet, scrubs it, and pulls up all of the grime. The dirty water receptacle is a breeze to pop out and rinse off. The only thing I'd like to see different, is a slightly longer cord. The current one just isn't long enough.
