Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this portable carpet cleaner. I had a stubborn stain on our carpet and used another spot cleaner several times and couldn't get it out, however, the HydroSteam got it 99% out of the carpet on first use! It is easy to set up and use, I appreciate the multi-functionaility as well. We gave away our old spot cleaner as soon as we used this one.
