Purchased this model to replace a Hoover rug cleaner that I purchased over 15 years ago. My old machine was very heavy and loud. This new one is super light, quiet and cleans very well. The water tank is super easy and you don't have to struggle to make sure it's in place like my old machine. The price was right and it's perfect for what I need. Whether I'm doing spot cleaning or cleaning and entire rug, it's a pleasure. Highly recommend buying this model for its size and ease of use.
