I have 3 dogs, one with a sensitive tummy. So of course there is stuff to clean up regularly. This little baby is great. Lightweight and compact. It is intended for small spaces so don't expect to do a whole room on one tank but I did a pretty decent sized area with one tank. As others have pointed out, when you turn off cleaner, be sure to have it on a surface that it can drain on. I have a professional extractor and it does the same thing. You turn it off and there is a seeping issue. I think it is because there is water that hasn't been sucked into the dirty water compartment. So just be sure to keep it on and move to a area that is water safe ( I place mine on a tiled floor and put a old bath towel down and place it on that) and then turn off. Clean up of vacuum is easy and very easy to use.
