I received this carpet cleaner for free in exchange for an honest review, I haven't used it more than once but the one time I did I was impressed. This little carpet cleaner is compact and easy to maneuver, its small size doesn't take away from its great ability to clean well. I used this to clean the carpet in my SUV, between kids and my dog the carpet was really black and gross and it left me with tan carpet without any issues at all. Works wonderfully, another great product from Hoover, thank you!
