I was so excited to be able to claim one of these!!! The day I received it I put it to the test!!! I had some old kitchen chairs in my basement that had seen better days so I brought a couple upstairs and went to work! I could instantly see the stains disappearing, the hose option is a 10/10 for me! I also shampooed my hallway carpets and the suction was also amazing! I would 1000% recommend this carpet cleaner to everyone!!!
