it cleaned good but didnt pick up the water very well and then when i went to empty it the bottom came off and dirty water all over the carpet. even the demonstrator said he would wait to buy it til its perfected better. I like the no brushes and hope I can get it together right as the inside came loose when i went to empty it. If I WOULD HAVE KEPT THE BOX i WOULD HAVE RETURNED IT I HAVE THE VACUMN AND LOVE IT AND THATS WHY I GOT THE SHAMPOOER
