We've now owned this unit for ~8 months, with light use (3-4x monthly, 1000sq ft) and it will no longer power on. When it was working, there was very little suction, often leaving trails of dirty water and occasionally leaking when stationary, despite us going to great lengths to keep the unit clean. We had great luck with the old Floormate model and had high hopes that this would deliver on that level (after a string of underpowered battery-operated cleaners) but it never lived up to its promise and is now inoperable.
