I will use The PowerDash to "deep clean" on sealed hardwood and tile floors. The initial set up was easy and there are basically no instructions. If you have issues with the suction, double check that the top part is fully clipped on. The suction is strong enough that you can feel resistance when you pull back the machine. I have a Lab so there ended up being some hair in the dirty water reservoir. I like that you can easily take it apart for cleaning. I also love the size of the machine, it's small enough to get in the space beside my toilet in the bathrooms!
