I bought the Hoover- PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner 5 months ago. After a few carpet cleans the cap for the fluid reservoir fell apart and I have to squeeze it together a million times and put it on really fast before it falls apart again. The brush is really difficult to clean because there is not much access to get into the crevices to remove the dirt. Hoover should have designed the vacuum to be disassembled for easier cleaning. Overall, for the price it is a good value.
