I cannot say how impressed I am with this machine. I have 3 children and 3 animals. Honestly, the kids are messier. I bought this product after a massive protest with my you youngest to get him to um... be sanitary after doing number 2 in the bathroom. Anyway- the carpet became charmin. So needless to say, I needed something up for the job! This thing should be marketed as "cleans up the messes your children make on the carpets during covid homeschooling." This will be used in my classroom and my home! I am SOLD! Thanks Bissell! Save a pet but you honestly saved me too today!
