Made our 10 year old carpet look, smell, and feel like new again. Suction is great. Picked up tons of long cat hairs easily. Even got out some really old stains which we thought we'd never get out. Much easier to clean than older models with the pop-top canister design and bendy cleaning tool. Also much easier to fill the cleaning fluid with the flat top when flipped upside down. Portable mode makes it easy to do stairs and clean our cars. The cord wrapping system makes it easy to organize the really long cable. Can't do fancy turns, but it was easy enough to maneuver. We like how the added weight helps grip the carpet really well, yet the no-snag wheels help it glide with low effort. Overall, great job by the engineering team improving on all the weaknesses of older/cheaper models. Here's hoping the next model comes with its own white noise generator ;)
