Easy to Install and Store This carpet cleaner does a good job cleaning your carpets for the money. I mainly use this vacuum on carpets that don't have a thick pile. All to make this machine easy to glide over carpet but when used on my landing this machine is quite heavy but don't get me wrong as the carpet is quite thick but luckily the rest of the stairs can with the hose The brush that comes with the machine does a good job cleaning these stairs although by no means a heavy duty industrial carpet cleaner it is perfect for home use and is used 1-3 times a year. I thought my carpets were clean as my wife vacuums this once a week but after not cleaning the carpets for over 3 years this machine turned clean clear water brown with hidden dirt so yes I am with the results quite pleased, carpets dried within 4-6 hrs. I turned on the ceiling fans to dry.
