Oh goodness, I love this carpet cleaner! The initial setup was so simple; instructions very easy to follow. When I started to clean my carpet I noticed how extremely light it is! So my curiosity got the better of me and weighted it...just under 20lbs (with no water)!!! So if you have issues with maneuvering heavier cleaners, this is definitely the one for you! I did the regular clean (not the express) and it dried in less than 3 hours, with the ceiling fan on. My impression is the cleaner doesn't completely saturate the carpet, but dispenses just enough to do a good cleaning. The cleaner is a bit loud, but really what carpet cleaner isn't? The pros definitely outweigh the cons with the DualPro Pet...quit reading this and order yours now!!!! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this product to try.
