Use on carpets for pet clean-up, and small spills. Good suction and amazingly quiet! Better than expected. Design could have been better for coiling-up the electrical cord; kind-of dangles from the unit. Haven't tried on furniture yet. Believe there could have been smaller 4" spray/suction wand for furniture applications. Other than some minor design flaws it's very easy to use and is not for big projects as it only holds about a quart of cleaning solution. But is adequate for most tasks and isn't difficult to empty suction (dirty solution), tank reservoir.
