I love, love, love this carpet cleaner!  After renting a carpet cleaner before Thanksgiving with disappointing results and owning 2 Hoover carpet cleaners prior, I have to give this cleaner 5 stars!  It arrived yesterday and I used it immediately.  Easy to assemble and use.  Great results!  Much sturdier than either of my other Hoovers.  Worth the extra money as I expect to be using it for years to come!
