This machine was by far the easiest setup and use I have experienced! I didn't even have to look at the instructions or quick guide (although the quick guide is an awesome feature!). I had a stuck-on pet stain that my last cleaner could not remove and this little beauty pulled it out with no trouble at all! I love the sleek look of this unit and the compact design. My only minor complaint is that it was a little on the heavier side. Other than that it is the perfect machine and a must have especially if you have a toddler AND dog like myself! So thankful to Stellar Product Testing Panel for this!
