I used it for the first time and I wasn't that impressed but did do a nice job on the Ceramic floor and a semi job on the hardwood floor in the kitchen. The power of the vacuum was good, no steam. The machine did accumulate dirt in between the top of the filter and the cap. I really loved the old models but again they leaked, streams of water when preforming the mop part, and i had 3 machines before this one and i thought maybe improvements were done.
