I bought and paid for this on July 16 and it arrived as promised on July 18. I love this machine, that is if one can love and inanimate object, I like the idea of a one-gallon clean water tank however, I found that I had to stop to empty the dirty water tank before the clean water tank was empty. What's the point for the 1-gallon tank? I have an area rug that hasn't been cleaned since I bought it 6 years ago. It didn't look dirty. I made my first pass straight up the middle. Yep, it was dirty, filthy dirty. Same with the carpet in my bedroom. I cleaned the rug and carpet with the solution and water and then rinsed it with straight water and still picked up more dirt and the rug and carpet looked even cleaner, I have yet to use the attachments to clean the interior of my auto, I hope to get the same results. You won't regret buying this machine,
