I am a male who bought this turbo carpet washer. I can't begin to tell you how great this machine works.  I have 2 cats that at times they have an accident. I wash my carpets twice a week and can't begin to tell you how good my home home looks and feels.   It has already paid for it self and would recommend to anyone looking to save and make your home look great 2 of my friends at work have bought it and feel the same way !!! Thanks a million for a great product...
