I received this from the Stellar Review Panel to test out. It has seen action on my cat's once fluffy white bed, the carpeted stairs, and Toolie's favorite upholstered chair. It was easy to fill, clean out, and use. No need to have a handy outlet was very helpful! It took no real hand strength to open it up to fill or clean, yet sealed well. Suction was fine. My only trouble was cleaning the narrow vertical side of the stairs. Overall, it is good for small pet accidents.
