Love my new carpet cleaner. Have several area rugs that needed cleaning as I have 2 dogs that can make a mess. Was concern about too much water when using as my rugs are over laminate floors. At first I put a towel under the rug to test. Didn't saturate the rug. Dried within an hour or so with the ceiling fan on. Removed tons of dirt and the rugs smell great. Easy to use & clean
