Love it!  I have a Dyson vacuum for pet hair and thought I was getting up the hair.  We have 4 cats & 1 small dog.  I was shocked at the hair the Big Green pulled up!  And the water was almost black.  We have lived in this new home for 3 years now and I was surprised just how dirty the water was.  It is the easiest to load the water and empty the dirty water.  I have owned a carpet cleaner from Walmart for years and always struggled with loading the clean water tank.  Will never go back to it.  Definitely worth the money.
