I was so excited to try this innovative wet/dry vac. We recently pulled up most of our carpet, and are left with lots of flooring and area rugs. Doing the floors seems like they take forever, by the time I sweep, them vacuum and then mop, I've spent hours! This vacuum is amazing because I do the sweeping and the mopping at the same time. Not only that, I can vacuum my area rug, or steam it, which is what I choose to do. Getting the vacuum put together didn't take long at all, and learning the different settings just took looking at the pictures. Then it was to work, and man it took a lot less time than it ever has because it took one tool, one time through the floor!
