The reviews really talked up this machine so I was excited to get it, but once I started using it I was disappointed in some of the features. The water tank is to small. I'm used to my Hoover where I only had to fill the tank 1 1/2 times compared to about 4 or 5 times for a bigger room. Also, the cord is not as long as my Hoover I had. Disappointed in that aspect. But I must say it does clean very well. I like the advantage of the hand steamer being attached. Just very disappointed in the small water tank. ( It does leave big clumps of dirty link on the carpet, so you have to go around picking it up. Or wait until it dry's and vacuum the floor again. Again, my other machine just sucked it up into the tank)
