This cleaner is very easy to setup and use. Add the cleaner and water to one tank plug in and you are good to go! I have primarily tile in my house and this does a good job cleaning high traffic areas. I use steam mop weekly to really clean the grout and floors and this power dash will help provide a good overall clean on the floors. I like how easy it is to maneuver and get the spray/suction to work. The machine is pretty lightweight. Makes about same amount of noise as a regular carpet cleaner.
