I bought this about 6 months ago and it is AMAZING!! I've had quite a few others but this one to start with is very simple to use. The clean water reservoir is giant! And the dirty water tank can be entirely pulled apart, clamshell style, to clean , there are no scents or dirt left in it! It is super powerful without drenching the carpet and has great suction, it is on the lighter side for a carpet cleaner too which is nice for going up and down stairs!
