I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Only giving one star because i have to! Doesn't suction up the water. My rug looks worse now than it did before cleaning it. Soaked with water that I can't get to suction. It tore up the fibers of my rug. This is the cheapest assembled and looking carpet cleaner I've ever bought. We have 5 shorthaired dogs and this doesnt work with pets. Buy a hoover instead.
