while this carpet cleaner is exceptionally well at cleaning and doing the job it's suppose to their is 1 small defect in the machine theirs a seal on the bottom release where you clean the bristles at it continues to fall off to the point you have to really pay attention to it otherwise you will end up losing the piece as I did other than that it's a phenomenal product all the way around that's why I didn't give it the full 5 stars
