Very lightweight easy to use and clean ... Cleans great I love it. It's easier to clean with than the great big heavy Hoover carpet cleaner I have that's very large and very heavy. Hard to manuever around but this one is great and simple to work with. I'm glad I purchased it. Folks you really should think about buying this if you have pet stains it took mine right up very easily.WORKS GREAT! IM A PROUD CUSTOMER
