I owned a floor meat cleaner for about five years and used it on a regular basis. I love the dual water system and ease of use. Eventually a hose inside the machine wore out, and I think part of the problem was I didn't clean it on a regular basis. I just bought another one, this time the Pet model. It's a little bit smaller and weighs less, and I love it. The on off switch is improved and the hose that I mentioned previously is now visible.
