Pro: Lightweight and it cleaned my carpet. Cons: it leaks horribly. Move it from carpet to kitchen and you will definitely need a mop. Even sitting still it leaks a great amount of what appears to be both clean and dirty water. The plastic is much cheaper than my older bissell. Pet hair goes under the plastic non-removable cover under the nozzle and is impossible to clean out. The clean out tool is completely useless. My older Bissell was able to be easily taken apart and cleaned. I hope it lasts long enough for me to find a better brand.
