   I will start off with the negative, the pre-treat wand is pretty much useless. It squirts out a small stream of fluid and takes forever to pretreat even a small area. Otherwise this is a fantastic cleaner! I vacuumed the floor twice before using this carpet cleaner (yes I have both cats and a dog so hair is everywhere). I was still amazed at how much hair ended up in the brushes of the machine. I love the dry only feature after I initially cleaned the floor I was able to get more liquid out using the dry only. The brushes are removable for complete cleaning afterwards. I was surprised at how well, quickly and easily it all cleaned up. It is easy to use too the push for wash/pull for dry is so nice. No more gripping triggers or wondering how much fluid is going into the carpet. This has been by far the best carpet cleaner I’ve used (and with pets I’ve gone through many machines over the years). I can’t speak about long term durability yet but I am impressed so far.

   Bin stinksauer! Nirgendwo steht in der Produktbeschreibung, dass man einen Spannungsumwandler benötigt. Außerdem steht nichts zu techn. Daten, so dass es unwahrscheinlich schwer ist, den richtigen Umwandler zu finden. Ob das Gerät funktioniert, kann ich erst sagen, wenn der Spannungsumwandler da ist. Noch mal 80€ zusätzlich zu den ohnehin schon hohen Kosten. Es ist eine Schweinerei, dass der Kunde vor dem Kauf nicht informiert wird!!!

   I bought this on Nov 11, 2023 and paid $249.99 for it from Amazon (not including US sales tax).

   Overall recommendation: Buy it, it’ll help between professional carpet cleanings

   First of all, can Amazon actually put categories worth rating on the reviews? It just asked me about “scent” and “freshness” and while those might apply to actual cleaning solutions, it does not apply to the machine itself.

   Pros:
   – It’s easy to setup
   – The suction power is good
   – The tanks are a good size – you won’t be able to do a whole living room without emptying and refilling, but the machine isn’t so heavy when it’s full that it’s hard to move around
   – This is honestly the best carpet cleaner I’ve owned, which is nice but isn’t saying much when personal-use carpet cleaners are all pretty much garbage. This isn’t garbage, at least.
   – It works WAY better if you vacuum first, but it’s not 100% necessary and I appreciate that a lot

   Cons
   – The stain remover wand is a complete waste of engineering. The stream it sprays is very small and thin, so while it does penetrate the carpet well, it takes nearly half the tank of stain remover to cover one spot that’s maybe 6″ (~15cm) square.

   – The “Dry Only” button is not conveniently located. I wish they’d remove the useless wand thing, permanently attach the handle, and put the button where your thumb is. I use it a lot while cleaning and it would be SO MUCH easier if I didn’t have to bend over and forward to press it.

   – It’s really hard to clean the edges of rooms when you also have to stand next to the wall. My wrist and arm end up being sore after a while of trying to push the machine up against the floor boards to clean the very edges. I wish it had some sort of power-edge feature that you could activate that would push the machine laterally in the direction you need it.

   – The dirty-water tank is annoying to empty. The lid has to sit just right to lock into place, and there’s no pour spout or drain hole; you have to just tip it over, which leaves any debris (like pet hair) stuck inside the rim to be rinsed out. Also, the little purple plastic basket that’s meant to be a filter is 100% useless, I’ve never seen anything in it at all.

   I don’t regret this purchase at all, I just wish the market for personal carpet cleaning machines had higher-end choices that worked really well at doing one thing, as opposed to doing an okay job with lots of “features.” I don’t want features, I want a clean carpet.

   This works so well for both carpet and upholstery. We got it to replace a carpet cleaner that stopped working. This is remarkably better in every way. It is lighter, it is easier to operate, and so much easier to clean.

   Fantastic rug shampooer. Easy to work and I espically like the dry only aspect. Leaves my rugs clean and almost dry!

   I did a lot of research before settling on this model and I’m glad I did. This does a great job. I bought this instead of the Bissell because: 1) I don’t have to continually push a button to keep the suds going; 2) push forward, it’s cleaning…pull in reverse and it automatically dries; 3) there is a separate button for continuous drying, which stops the shampoo and just pulls up water to dry more quickly; 4) really easy to remove the brushes and clean them; 5) doesn’t use much shampoo; 6) easy to remove and clean all parts; 7) detachable wand for pre-treating tough areas; 8) easy to assemble and start using; and 9) it was $100 cheaper. The 2 things I don’t like are: 1) the cord gets in the way because it’s located very low on the machine so it took me some adjusting so I didn’t trip over it; and 2) when I paused the machine or turned it off while on the carpet, the dirty water or accumulated carpet fuzz would drip onto the carpet so I would have to clean that area again. I learned quickly to put it on the mat when I wanted to turn it off or pause. I have to say that it cleans really well. Our wall to wall carpet was filthy and this did a great job of cleaning many of the spots. I did pre-treat a number of areas with the wand and I also used stain remover spray. It removed most of the water when I put it on dry–it was slightly damp only an hour after I shampooed it. The cleanup was very easy and I was pleased with being able to remove the brushes and clean out all the lint. I had to stop the machine a number of times to clean the brushes but it didn’t take long and was easy to do. The lint accumulates so be sure to clear it regularly or it will end up on the carpet. It doesn’t use a lot of cleaning fluid and I was able to clean our large tv room and only had to refill the water container and empty the dirty water once. All parts of the machine are easily removable for cleaning. I purchased this model b/c we have a Maine coon cat who sheds like crazy and tosses hairballs on to the carpet fairly frequently. I am very pleased with the results. I highly recommend this model.

   This carpet cleaner is the best money spent! I vacuumed my carpet twice with a Dyson roller ball, this still pulled dirt and dog hair from my carpet. Simple to use, simple to clean, love the dry carpet only function. My carpet is clean, almost dry, and smells amazing. Definitely worth the money to buy this machine and I highly recommend it if you have any pets.

    Das Gerät ist nicht geeignet für Deutschland, Da die Stromspannung ist 110 V und man braucht dazu auch einen Adapter für den Stecker also ich hab zugegeben und empfehle niemanden in Deutschland zu kaufen
