I am a 74 year old woman who uses a walker. I love that this machine is so lightweight that I can easily use it while holding onto my walker. It does a very good job of cleaning my 'Tiny's' accidents. Pretreat and one pass does it ! The only issue would be that the water/shampoo bottle is so hard to grab and remove.. It would be nice if it had a release lever. Other than that, I really love this machine and hope it lasts for a long time.
