Love, Love , Love. The clean water compartment is not on the handle so the handle is light weight. The machine can divide into two so it is lighter to carry up the stairs and not bulky. Cleaning the stairs is easy I don't have to balance the whole machine on my swirl stair case. The hose is attached so while cleaning you can just use the hose on those hard to reach places or car and furniture. The crevice attachment is great for corners, never had one before. Cleans better then the professional cleaners I've been renting. Filling the water is easy. Emptying dirty water is easy. Cleaning this machine when finished is so quick and easy. Great on Pet hair. Love it!
