Really impressed with this! Have used one of the big rug doctors before and it was so heavy and such a hard job to use. This is super lightweight and easy. We have a busy household, kids and pets and light carpets (why!!) and have used this weekly since getting it, it doesn’t take long to do a room at all, feels no different to hoovering. Doesn’t leave the carpets too wet either, I did my lounge one evening and they were dry the next morning. Really glad I went with a Bissell and will be getting the handheld one eventually too!
