Hoover sent me this wet/dry vacuum as for free as part of a BzzAgent promotion and I'm so glad they did! I used it in my living room immediately upon receiving it. It was so easy to assemble, and worked like a dream. The solution left my house smelling amazing. I used it again a few days later in my kitchen and it was picking up everything from crumbs to pet hair. Left my kitchen floor sparkling and the self cleaning feature and dock are both very useful. It's light weight and compact with out being too small. Highly recommend.
