This is not a heavy duty cleaner, it is designed for spot cleaning. That said it does a very good job and is easy to use. First the good points: The cleaner is very light and easy to operate - just pull the trigger to dispence the cleaning water as you need to. The vacuum is very strong and easily sucks up the water/ cleaner put on the carpet. The clean water tank simply comes off and is filled from a hot water tap. As the dirty water tank is clear plastic it is easy to see when it is full and is simple to remove to empty. It has done a very good job on my carpets and rugs and has been used for more than just spot cleaning.
The downsides of the cleaner are as follows: The vax is self assembly. This is only putting 3 main parts together but you do need to use a bit of force and there are four small screws to put in to hold it all together, but once together it does not come apart again (a problem if you need to return it). The first one I recieved was faulty and leaked water continually. Amazon replaced the cleaner very quickly and it was obvious from the new cleaner that there was a seal missing from one of the tubes. The main problem is that the clean water tank has no markings to show how much water you have in it so you have to guess about the amount of cleaning fluid to add. The dirty water tank has an air filter on the back. You need to remove this before emptying the tank (or it just falls off into the dirty water). The only other fault I have found is that the power cable is a little short, but this is not a big problem.
Overall this is a very good, lightweight cleaner. It is a very simple design so there is little to go wrong. A few improvements in design would make this a fantastic little machine, as it is it is a good machine with a few minor faults.
Worth the money and recommended.

I was very disapointed with this product, after putting it together which was realy simple added water and cleaning solution and switch on, squeeze trigger push forward there is no sign of the liquid coming out until you feel the carpet, release trigger pull back very little liguid being sucked up after a couple of attempts i ended up on my knees pushing down on the front of the body and pushing backwards which then sucked up very little dirty water doing this allowed more suction on the front brush and wet knees.
This product is not as good as the Cartridge (Henry) type there are no tools to do upholstry or stairs.
I would not recommend this type of hoover to clean/wash carpets the suction is very poor and it is very limited in it's use.
I have since returned this product and hopefully will find a better unit for the job.

Found this carpet washer to be useless. I wanted a light weight one and thought this fit the bill. The only good thing about it is the weight. I have 3 flights of stairs so needed a light one. Even after vacuming carpets thoroughly still found the filter kept clogging up so it wouldn't suck up the dirty water. All it seemed to do was leave lines of cleaning fluid on the carpet and then tried to suck them straight back up, badly. I had to press down on the front of the machine with one foot while trying to push the machine back wards. You try it!! It's a lot harder than it sounds. Altogether a waste of money, wished I had sent it back. Looking for a better model now, one with a rotating brush!

carpet washer
Gradually my carpet is becoming cleaner after many months of my pets making a convienience of it. Because that room wasn't used much is why the room was neglected.
