We received our carpet cleaner yesterday and had to try it out right away. I wasn't so sure about the car because to be honest it didn't look like the old ones I've used in the past, basically like a vacuum cleaner. I was positively surprised. It's easy to use and cleans great. From what I've read in other reviews, it either works great or doesn't work at all. I used it again today and it didn't start and I thought oh let's go, but in a short time I realized that I had to restart the machine at the source (plug) then everything was fine. The suction power is very good. We have carpets and when I park the car at the end you can see the carpet coming off the floor. It's easy to fill, although not really a 3-gallon tank, and easy to drain dirty water. Draining clean water when there is still water is not very convenient, but connecting the sprayer to the upholstery nozzle is very easy, and then all you have to do is hold the sprayer over the sink and spray clean water. water tank. Overall I think this is a much better cleaner than the others. And the warranty is 5 years, not one year like most others. The main thing is to read the instructions before using it and you will be done. I'm glad we bought this carpet cleaner.
