For the price I was really surprised with this little cleaner. I have two little kids and my carpets have taken a beating. I pulled this little thing out of the package and an hour later my carpets looked like the day we moved in.
Its not heavy-duty, there were some spots I pretreated and they did come out. It has a really quick set up. We just have carpet in our upstairs (3 bedrooms and a family room). If I had more carpet in the house, I probably would have gotten something bigger, but for my area its perfect.
Bottom line: If your looking for some monsterous commercial steam machine, drop the $400+ and buy one. If you want something economical, that does a great job and is easy to pull out at 3 am when the kids puke all over the carpet I highly recommend it.
Pros:
*Does a great job cleaning
*Easy set up and easy clean up
*light weight
*Small to store
*Price (Paid $70.00)
Cons:
*No attachments (at least the model I got)
*Small tanks, can clean about 100sq/ft before emptying
*Does not heat water
*Name is mislead - its more of an extractor than a steamer.
