Very compact and easy to store, very easy to put together and use. I was expecting a bit from this item, it takes a lot of elbow grease and hard work to get things clean. I normally clean my sofa and rug once a month and spot clean as and when needed (I have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 children). I was really looking forward to water suction of this item as it normally takes 2 days for my sofa to dry! Nope, it still takes 2 days to dry and takes 2-3 attempts to actually clean the sofa. 

So, great item, good value for money and easy to use and store. Not as great as I was expecting but it does the job......eventually.
