I was excited when the spot cleaner arrived and couldn't wait to get it out and use it. Unfortunately, it was a lot more work than I anticipated. The Oxy Formula was great, but the suction on the machine was a little disappointing. Two days after using the spot cleaner, I ended up pulling our full size Hoover carpet cleaner to redo the job. I was trying to avoid that since it was so big and bulky, but would've been cheaper and easier in the long run.
