This thing scrubs great, it is easy to use, the cleaner solution works well, but I was totally surprised by how poor the vacuum function is! I put about a cup of cleaning liquid thru it to clean the spots, but only got a little over a tablespoon out of the carpet! And, yes, I did read the manual, and followed the directions, and tried doing it faster, slower, pressing down more, pressing down less. Then I got out my Dyson and sucked the rest of the liquid out of the carpet. C'mon, Guys, Bissel made its name by making great VACUUM cleaners. How can you sell this with such a poor vacuum function?
