I purchased this carpet cleaner 1 week ago and love using using it. I have cleaned all of my carpets in the house and the steps to the basement and my carpets look brand new! This carpet cleaner has great suction, large tanks and is easy to move around. A couple of my favorite things are the separate areas for the solution and water, a long cord and how easy it is to clean. You can even take the brush off the bottom of the cleaner! I love my new Hoover carpet cleaner. Now I just have to decide what regular vacuum to great. Hoover makes great products.
