So we've had this bad boy for about a week now. I've never been so happy to have a carpet cleaner. With a kid and a dog routine carpet cleanings are a must. It was either this or spend $25+ every time we needed one and this just seemed to be much better financially. I've used it through my entire house and on stains that have been there for years! I'd say that this has to be one of the best decisions we've made as far as appliances go because it hasn't let me down yet!
