I bought this model years to replace the Hoover 3-in-1 that I had had for years and loved so much that washing floors was fun! A part on the 3-in-1 broke and I could not get replacements and it was leaking, so I got rid of it and got this model. It does not clean the floors nearly as well and leaves them pretty wet as well. The 3-in-1 had attachments for grout and a fold down handle too. Now I wish I had kept the old leaking one and just dealt with wiping up the leaking, because with the Deluxe I am wiping up many more puddles due to the poor suction.
