Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This thing is pretty magical! We only have carpet on our stairs so I didn't want a bulky full size carpet cleaner but something small with the same power. My goal was to find something for the stairs and for my car interior. After trying out a different brand purchased at Lowes and returning it disappointed I set on a mission to do more research and give it another try with a different brand. I'm so glad I did. This thing has one minor flaw but I still rate it 5 stars as its cleaning ability outweighs the fixable flaw. The flaw is that it does tend to leave a small drip puddle of dirty water under the machine, but easily fixable by placing it on a folded towel instead of directly onto the floor. The puddle is not big enough to soak through the towel so it more than solves the problem. The suction power is great for soaking up all of the cleaning fluids and remaining moisture dries quickly. I did follow someone else's review and did a second cleaning pass with just water after using the original solution to get rid of the soap left behind. Even that Second pass with just water lifted lots of dirt. I would recommend this and I would buy another one. Looking forward to trying it out in my car. The included pictures are of uncleaned stairs after 2 years of owning the house.. After two passes (1st with soapy solution followed by just a water solution) the carpet feels softer, looks fluffier and like new.
