This is a great carpet cleaner. I've used it a couple of times since purchasing it and was impressed by how easy it was to use and how quickly the carpet dried afterward. It is very light weight and easy to maneuver. Two suggestions to anyone considering buying this. 1) Make sure you have a #2 phillips screw driver with a long shaft. This will make it easier to assemble the handle and also to remove screws for routine cleaning before storing. 2) If you plan to clean stairs, get the 6" carpet tool. The 3" tool that came with mine worked OK but took a lot longer than if I had had the 6" tool.
