The Power Dash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner from Hoover is very light weight. It's super easy to assemble. It only took me about 5 minutes to put it together. This carpet cleaner already had a little bottle of concentrated carpet solution which is nice. That bottle will easily last me a few weeks. The only issue I had with the carpet cleaner,is that it leaks a little from the bottom of the dirty water tank when you go to empty it. Otherwise it's really easy to clean. I ran my vacuum before using it,and the carpet cleaner still picked up a lot of pet hair. The design of the rotating brush head made it easy to remove it though.
