Great machine. Excellent cleaning. People mention that it has weight to it - that's a good thing - weight is over the brushes to keeps cleaning/water solution contained to the area you are cleaning. All you need to do is guide the machine and let it do the work! Cleans closer to baseboard than vacuum cleaner so you obtain fantastic room edge to edge performance. Powerful suction leaving carpet damp, not wet. Used on 25+ year old carpet with heavy traffic pattern. Would recommend to all.
