We recently got a second dog and upon the recommendation of friends sought out a one-does-all vaccuum steam mop. This time-saving machine has since been bragged about to practically all of my friends and family. For someone that hated to even vaccuum, I love using this steam mop vac and do it regularly. It is so easy and quick to use and does the job! I especially like that you do not need to use any harsh chemicals to clean the floor. Our backyard has been a swamp with so much rain recently, and this steam mop works wonders to clean up all the paw prints and dog hair left around the house. Our housekeeper, who comes once every other week to help out with deep cleaning, is now purchasing the Symphony as she exclaimed it will save so much time for her with all of the pet-friendly houses she does. This one is a winner at a very reasonable price.
