Recently bought this to clean 3,000 sq ft of carpet in our home. Love how easy it is to use and clean. Also, the hose attachment for the stairs and furniture is a must and also easy to attach and clean. This has been a great addition to our home to help keep it clean. It is definitely on the heavy side which could be challenging for some especially when full of water. You definitely want to move it upstairs empty, then fill the water storage. It stores nicely in a small coat closet. This has saved me money by not paying for professional cleaners. Great for DIY people.
