My only regret is that I waited so long to buy the machine, but I was waiting for my old shampooer to bite the dust. This isn't a cheap machine in any way. It's got a solid weight to it, the plastic is heavy duty, and everything is simple, intuitive and user-friendly. I'd buy it again. Don't waste your time or money on a lightweight shampooer with cheap plastic parts. Why let years of dirt build up and sink further into your carpet? If you have been using a lightweight shampooer, you will be shocked what this pulls from your carpet. Highly recommended. #sweepstakes
