Arrived in good condition, I cleaned my carpet to 90% of my expectations. It took a while to clean, it's super loud, 740 watts though, enough to suck the water back up. Anything less than that probably wouldn't work all that well. It worked solidly for two 20-minute sessions. I just hope the internals last for more cleaning in the future. The build quality is more solid than I expected. It's a pretty good carpet cleaner for the price.
